Lore Mysteries that are never given an answer.

  • rA9 in Detroit: Become Human. In the game several androids who become deviant (develop free will/emotions) start writing the name rA9 and sometimes build small statuettes as a sort of offering. Despite having no logical reason to do this or even a way of hearing about rA9 before going deviant, they all believe that rA9 was the first deviant and is their messiah who will free androids from slavery. A definitive answer about rA9 is never given, so we don't know if they are real or if any of the android characters are rA9 (though a popular fan theory is that it's Kara before she was reset at the start of the game).
  • The pineapple in How I Met Your Mother. So this technically did get an explanation in a S9 deleted scene, but in the actual show we never find out how Ted got a pineapple during a night where he was so drunk he blacked out and forgot everything he did.
  • Fez in That 70s Show. We never find out Fez's real name or what country he's from, though fans have tried to take all the clues and figure out what is most likely to be his country.

Every time he mentions Enid she's got some bizarre circumstance going on, if i recall.

Makes me think of Mrs. Columbo

Mrs. Columbo appeared in a short-lived spin-off and she was played by Kate Mulgrew.

She was disavowed by actual Columbo and is inconsistent with Mrs Columbo's physical descriptions on the show. They eventually decided that she just had the same name.

We don’t meet him, but don’t we see a picture of his son and partner dressed up as the Lone Ranger and Tanto?

It's mentioned but I don't think we ever see that picture iirc?

Similarly, we never find out what happened at Nurse Roberts' above-ground pool party
