You’re rappelling, and unexpectedly came to a damaged section of rope that you didn't notice from above. How would you get past it? Here’s one method.

Isolate the damaged section with an alpine attach prussik hitch above butterfly, take weight off of rappel device, re-attach rappel device past isolation knot. Resume.
Edit: ah close enough! Simple overhand to isolate also makes sense
