Today's tropes is the What Happened to the Mouse?
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhatHappenedToTheMouse

"What happened to the mouse?" occurs when a minor character, action, or very minor plotline is suddenly dropped from the story for no apparent reason, without any real explanation about what happened to it, and without a resolution.

There are several main reasons this happens: in movies, the most common is that scenes are excised in editing, but references to them still remain elsewhere in the film. Another common reason is that a Wrong Genre Savvy audience mistakenly attached too much importance to what always was intended to be a throwaway. A third is that a Bit Character was a little too lively, so that he didn't appear a throw-away, as why was that much detail given for one?
