The incidents that would likely be followed by a deceleration of plot pace are:

- A man has been searching frantically for a misplaced family heirloom and finds it.
- A sibling apologizes to his or her sibling in the midst of an argument.
- A ship at sea experiences a sudden positive change in the weather.
- A woman receives a phone call telling her that her friend is in the hospital.

These incidents would likely lead to a slowdown in the plot pace because they involve moments of resolution, reconciliation, or a shift towards a more calm and stable situation. They typically bring closure to certain storylines or conflicts, causing the plot to take a pause or slow down before picking up momentum again.
