Domplot
/ˈdɒm.plɒt/ (DOM-plot)
A plot in a narrative (such as a TV series, novel, or similar work) that was clearly intended to be a subplot (or B-story) but which grows in scope, importance or screen time until it overshadows or even replaces the originally intended main plotline (the A-story).
When what was intended as a subordinate plot ends up being more of a dominant plot, this domplot may take over the story's central conflict, character focus and thematic weight.
