Jessica's Plant
Jessica's Plant is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is resolved by repeating the occurrence for two or more characters or groups while neither is aware that the other experienced the same thing. Its function is generally to resolve an otherwise irresolvable plot situation, to appease the story teller, to bring the tale allow the story to continue unimpeded, or act as a comedic device.
"Hey, did ever read Stealy Cap?"
"Yeah, the writing is lazy though. Each book is just a new Jessica's Plant because Stealy and his enemies never remember anything."
