For example, the end of the Expanse series >!Naomi and Amos seperate from Alex who goes to find his son and family. This didn’t really sit that well with me, as why wouldn’t they just go with him? They return to Sol where Naomi has… nothing left. Alex and the Roci are her family and home. So, the thing I would tweak is having Holden, just before he dies, tell her that while he had all of humanity connected together he noticed Filip alive and well in Sol. Then there is a logical reason for them to split up, to find their respective sons.!<

What’s your example of this?

    The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson >!has the rapist/murderer psychopath villain antagonist being chased by the protagonists. At which point the antogonist (deliberately) crashes his car and dies.!<

    As a reader, there’s less satisfaction in this than pretty much any other options. In the US film version, it’s incredibly anti-climactic. I’ve always found it an odd choice.
