| - The Villain has the lovely damsel right where he wants her. His plans for her at this point will likely involve putting her in Go-Go Enslavement, demonstrating his superior sexual prowess, and possibly giving her a Sadistic Choice between preserving her virtues and preserving the life of that insufferable do-gooder she calls her true love... but first, it looks like she could do with a nice hot bath! He has his servants (hot maidservants usually, or failing that, eunuchs) take her away to be cleaned up and groomed properly. Bonus pervert points if he then watches them strip and bathe her via hidden camera, two-way mirror, Crystal Ball, or the like.

Compare She Cleans Up Nicely and sometimes No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine. Related to, but not necessarily the same thing as, Go-Go Enslavement. Can precede a Shameful Strip if no clothes are provided following the bath. In some series, this is an occupational hazard of being The Chick. Justified in pre-modern settings, since in most countries throughout history bathing had been a luxury which only the upper classes could afford themselves and the heroine should be expectably dirty. An Important Notice: Please remember folks, that bathing or at least some mention of bathing is a key element to qualify as an example of this trope. Thank you, carry on. Not to be confused with Bring Him to Me. And being a Bathing Beauty is not a pre-requisite for this treatment either. As this is a rape trope, No Real Life Examples, Please! Examples of Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me include:
