Looking for the definition of a narrative structure term: It’s old and used little these days—counter to the Syd Field 3-act everyone uses. It’s a dark moment after the climax. The Scouring of the Shire is one example. It’s why monsters lurch back to life in horror films.

@themattlondon McKee called the Monster-in-horror-film (or Terminator-after-skin-removal) scene the "false ending." Campbell's Monomyth called Shire-like scenes "Return with the Elixir." The hero goes home, finds it's all screwed up, and changes it with what they learned on their adventure.

@RoBrooks13 Those are terms I’m familiar with. It’s definitely at that point in the story. There’s a fancy word/phrase for it on the tip of my tongue. Maybe something Aristotelian. There’s a genre of stories that exist entirely in this moment — a trope coming out of the Vietnam war.
