I will give an example. In Digital Fortress the protagonist Becker was persuading Megan to give him the ring which was the core of the matter. But Megan would not trust a stranger that's so unbelievable. The misunderstanding went to a climax and Megan hit Becker with some pepperish thing. She was getting away. Becker could not stop her. All hopes was vanishing along with his senses.
Wait. When he woke up, Becker was suprised to see Megan sitting there watching him closely. What brought her back? It's a very simple plot device. Becker shouted "Megan" just before he got into coma. Maybe many people would laught at the simpleness of this technique, but I like it. It's natural. It's logical. And it works.
