At the midpoint of your story there is a MAJOR SOCIAL REVERSAL.
Now lets talk about the next big plot point. The point towards the end of your story when we dig into a relationship your character has been developing. In this relationship your character has been keeping a secret and this is when that secret is revealed.
The effects of that secret will clearly define the future of their relationship.
Whether it's when George Clooney sees that Alex Goran is married in Up In The Air, or Warden Norton sees that Andy has escaped and the cops are coming for him, or Max Fischer showing Blume that his father is not in fact a doctor but instead a barber.
In an action movie it can be fear overcome. Let's say in the opening the character fails to take action, in the end they take it. In jaws, Quint destroys the radio forcing Brody to take action instead of relying on others. In Cliffhanger, Stallone has to keep Jesse from falling like Sarah.
There is also ANOTHER POINT here.
You character will have a meeting with the mentor and attractor archetypes before heading into Act 2. The meeting with the mentor could be simply going over what the mentor taught your character. If the mentor has died than this is a typical way to do it.
The meeting with the attractor is what can give your character that final push to enter into act 3. It may mirror the debate that your character had in act 1.
