When I watched “Sully,” I noticed how the titular character, played by Tom Hanks, said “The Hudson really looks nice from here” (or something like that) right after takeoff. I thought this was Hollywood taking its usual liberties, by inserting a bit of foreshadowing of what we knew was coming. Only later did I learn that the real Sully really had said that.
So sometimes, “foreshadowing” may appear purely by chance, rather than as a result of quality writing.

Foreshadowing, sorta how the tree resembles Bill.

Foreplay is more popular than foreshadowing though. Not to mention four rounds of golf

Foreshadowing: a “spy caper” coming up? Bill, a Soviet operative?
Russia’s intelligence service must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel….
