They are caught returning to CHERUB campus and are given two months of hard drill, an excruciating physical activity. Meanwhile, James Adams and sister Lauren arrive at campus for the demolition party celebrating the demolition of the main building. They help to clear archives in the basement first. Chairman Ewart Asker introduces the oldest surviving CHERUB agent and two red shirts who press the button to demolish the building. The main building is demolished and the new Campus Village is opened. Soon, the twins are pulled out of hard drill for a mission in Birmingham with James. Their task is to befriend Oliver Lakshmi, a troubled youth with a reputation for elaborate but untrue stories and see if he has information on radical Islamic terror groups or if he is lying. He is also a potential recruit for CHERUB. Oliver, known as Oli, turns out to be a bully and a thief and James decides he won't be recruited. However, Leon and Daniel learn of a local gangster, Trey, who is supervised by an elderly man known as Uncle. Ryan joins the mission and befriends Uncle. During a tour of one of Uncle's scrapyards, Ryan notices some old equipment with the word "OME" on it. He finds out OME stands for Offshore Marine Exploration, a defunct oil-pump company. They eventually learn of an also defunct company which repaired OME equipment. One of the three employees was murdered in airport hotel rooms near Uncle's scrapyard. They work out the other two were captured by Islamic State so that they could repair oil-pump equipment when it malfunctioned. Islamic State controls several oil wells with OME equipment and they sell the oil for funds. Rescuing the hostages would not only save them but cripple Islamic State's capability to repair their oil wells. After James presents the evidence to the deputy prime minister, defence minister, a SAS colonel, the heads of MI5 and MI6 and some experts on oil industry and Islamic State, he agrees to form a team to rescue the hostages. Lauren, Kyle and Bruce join him at the summer hostel. Ryan and his friends compete in exercises against James and his team to sharpen him, Lauren, Kyle and Bruce up. Kerry and an Israeli intelligence officer, Tovah, who will come on the mission, join them. James discovers Bruce and Ning having a relationship. He decides not to expose them, as doing so would cause Ning to be expelled and Bruce to be banned from campus and ruin Bruce's relationship with Ning. While training in miniature plane-gliders called microlights, Kerry is seriously injured in a bad crash landing. Ryan jumps at the opportunity to come on the mission. However, because it is not an official CHERUB mission, Ryan couldn’t join it because he is a CHERUB agent, but he joins it by quitting CHERUB as he is 17 and close to leaving anyway. The team enter Syria through Turkey and make camp in an abandoned shopping precinct. They reach the well and rescue the hostages, then fend off an ambush. A 12-year-old girl named Zahra is among the ambushers but does not take part in the fighting. After her older brother, who is an Islamic State fighter, is killed, the group take her with back home. She is recruited into CHERUB and awaits basic training. Uncle and several of his associates are arrested, Tovah goes back to Israel, Ryan goes to Russia to meet a girl named Natalka he met on a previous mission, Lauren goes back to Texas to her racing driver career with her husband Rat, Bruce returns to Thailand as an instructor of martial arts, but is banned from CHERUB campus for three years and can't apply for a job there. Kyle goes back to his home and job. Kerry rejoins James in mission control. At a reunion, Kerry and James announce that they are "surprised but delighted" to be expecting their first child. ===== Young couple Rana and Guy live in Beirut.

Octavian is somewhat threatened by the existence of Caesarion, Caesar's son by the Egyptian queen Cleopatra, who is himself Pharaoh alongside his mother. Octavian's nemesis Mark Antony has left Italy for Egypt, where he has fathered three children with Cleopatra, and his declaration of Caesarion as Caesar's legitimate heir incites war with Rome. Meanwhile, Caesar's other adopted son, Juba, has found the fabled Trident of Poseidon, a magical artifact with unearthly destructive power. He intends to use it—and the other so-called "Shards of Heaven"—to avenge himself on Rome for the death of his natural father, the king of Numidia. ===== The film presents the experiences of Fonda, Hayden, and their infant son Troy as they traveled throughout Vietnam in the spring of 1974 – after U.S. military involvement had largely ended but before the ultimate end of the war. Their journey goes from the capital city Hanoi in the North through the demilitarized zone down to Quang Tri province in the South. The trip was deemed "a tour in support of the Vietnamese people",Streible, p. 407. and the film was intended to show the universality of human lives among "the enemy" in the Vietnam War. The film largely avoids dramatic details of war and politics and instead focuses more on the day-to- day lives of average people. Fonda and Hayden visit farmers, doctors, artists, soldiers, trade unionists, and even fellow actors and filmmakers in a Hanoi movie studio. One of the key points that it attempts to express is that the Vietnamese people did not hold American people in contempt as a result of the decade-long Vietnam War, always distinguishing between people and their governments.McIsaac, 11 mins. Fonda described the message of the film as one of peace and unity. She noted that, while American involvement in Vietnam had officially ended in 1973, the film helped to raise much-needed awareness of American culpability and the ongoing struggle of the Vietnamese.McIsaac, 58 mins. Critics noted its gentle and unhurried style: Nora Sayre described it as a "quiet, moving film", while Molly Haskell praised it as endearingly modest in its approach, "a tiny jewel of a film". Fonda herself calls the film "slow- moving" but intentionally so, mimicking as it does the traditional pace of daily life in Vietnam.McIsaac, 16 mins. Still, at least one scene breaks the languidity with a shock. An undetected landmine exploded during production, killing a nearby man offscreen as cameras rolled. Wexler captured Fonda's horrified reaction, and this was left in the final cut. She later described the moment as possibly the most powerful in the entire film, remarking with irony: "How many times as an actress I was paid to cry...." ===== A journalist, Marianne is commissioned to research the Malaysia national football team of the 80's. Disillusioned by her working life in Malaysia, she decides to emigrate to England once she completes the project. She goes to Sabah to interview Eric, a former player of the team. In 1980, the team practises for the upcoming pre-Olympics matches, with captain Chow Kwok Keong serving as the interim coach until Harry Mountain takes over. Meanwhile, aspiring sports commentator and Chow's friend, Rahman practises with his mentors. Mountain revises the formation, such as by having Eric being changed from a reserve goalkeeper to a striker. Having not getting used to the new formation, and also due to Chow disobeying the coach's orders, the team is unable to win any friendly matches. Soon, Eric and fellow striker Ali have a falling out over the squad number 10. Chow assumes responsibility for their embarrassing performance and quits the team. The team continues on their losing streak. In the meantime, the three younger brothers of Muthu the goalkeeper are injured in an attempt to help their father deliver coconuts by driving the lorry. Fed up with Muthu's (fruitless) football endeavours and him not being able to help with work, Muthu's father reprimands him. Muthu contemplates also about quitting the team out of perceived incompetence, but does not do so. Chow remembers his pledge to lead the team to glory and decides to rejoin the team. Mountain welcomes him back and advises him to "not make the same mistakes I did when I was younger." After extensive practice and military training, the team finally starts winning again. Malaysia competes with South Korea at Stadium Merdeka in the final match, where Rahman is assigned to commentate. In the first half, an opponent informs Ali that Malaysia is boycotting the Olympics. During the half-time break, Ali shares the news to his teammates' disappointment. Mountain and Chow knew about this all along, but could not disclose it lest team morale be affected. Not willing to give up, Muthu encourages them to play on resolutely regardless whether they make it to Moscow. They display excellent skill and teamwork later on as Rahman delivers a thrilling and emphatic commentary. Ali scores the decisive goal; they win 3–2. In the present day, Marianne gets the now-elderly Chow on television and has changed her mind about leaving. In a post-credits scene, she tells her boss Rahman that she knows his "secret": his past career as football commentator. ===== In Pak Tau town near the provincial capital during the era of the Republic of China, rich heir Chin Yat-tim (Andy Lau) falls in love with Cho-cho (Patricia Chong), a prostitute working on a flower boat.

While trying to contact his music festival aspirant friend Christina (Nargis Fakhri), he comes across a local concert organised by a band of poor friends: 5 of them, led by Taraat (Riteish Deshmukh), who, unknown to Mickey, is the right match for him and Christina to show up at the festival.

Paul and Claire are shown talking before dinner and it's clear they're close, and they discuss their son Michael, who is closer to Claire than Paul. Paul and Stan are painted to have a contentious relationship. Stan, the front runner for Governor, is accompanied to dinner by his personal aides. They're there to keep him briefed on the votes needed for an important bill he's trying to push through the House on the subject of mental health, and they frequently interrupt his meal. Paul is annoyed by Stan and takes every opportunity to let everyone know. An incident is shown in flashbacks during the meal of Paul and Claire's son Michael and Stan and ex-wife Barbara's children Rick and Beau (an adopted son) as they try to get home following a party. It transpires during the course of the film—organized under chapter headings following the stages of the meal—that the four are there to discuss that incident involving their children. At that incident, they encountered a homeless woman trying to sleep in the ATM they try to enter to get money for a cab home. Michael verbally and physically harassed her, while Rick and Beau looked on. While taunting her, Michael dumped a garbage pail full of paper on her, and threw lit matches on her sleeping bag, which caught fire and killed her. Beau left the scene before this occurred, but witnessed that this was an unprovoked attack. Over the course of the dinner, tensions run amok among the group intercut with flashbacks that view the dysfunctional family's past, and Stan's attempts to help Paul in his depression. The arguments grow tense as they clash on whether the boys should take the blame or to simply cover up their wrongdoing. In another flashback, it's shown that Claire's bout with cancer unhinged Paul. In present day, Paul finds out that there's a video of the woman's death online that Beau uploaded after he found it on Michael's computer. Michael even refuses to delete the video, causing a schism between him and his father. Paul also is shocked to find that not only does Claire know about the incident (which he thought he was keeping secret from her), Claire is colluding with Michael in a scheme to pay out thousands of dollars in hush money to Beau. After Stan and his wife offer to look after Michael while Claire is in the hospital, Paul becomes angry and accidentally hits him over the head with a saucepan. At the dinner, Stan makes it clear he wants to withdraw from the gubernatorial race and hold a press conference about the ATM incident, afterwards accompanying his son to the police. A bitter argument ensues between Stan on one side and Claire and Katelyn on the other, with Paul sitting quietly away from the table. Katelyn manages to persuade Stan to hold off on his plan. Paul, broken and unstable, leaves the restaurant for Stan's house looking for Beau, believing that the solution to the problem is to kill Beau, and a violent confrontation ends with Paul threatening to hit Beau over the head with a rock. However, Paul is confronted by an enraged Stan, frantically looking for Beau, alongside Katelyn and Claire. While Katelyn tries to phone Beau, a call comes in to Stan's aide that the votes needed for the mental health bill are secure. The film ends on an abrupt note as Paul collapses and croaks out "Mental health for everyone!" as the others move beside him in the snow. ===== The series features the adventures of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and all the members of the Justice League as they fight various megavillains and other threats in order to protect Earth. ===== A forest- dwelling hermit discovers his dog has died from a mysterious illness and is sprayed by its infected blood. Five young friends, Paul, Karen, Bert, Jeff and Marcy have rented a cabin in the same woods for a week-long vacation. The group stops for supplies at Priddy's General Store. Dennis, the intellectually-disabled son of the store manager, unexpectedly bites Paul's hand. At the cabin, Jeff and Marcy have sex, Paul and Karen share a kiss while sunbathing and Bert ventures into the woods with a rifle. Bert encounters and accidentally shoots the hermit. Though initially concerned, he panics when he realizes the hermit is infected with a disease and flees. He says nothing about the incident to his friends. Later that evening, while the group hang out around a campfire, a stranger who calls himself Grim and his dog, Dr. Mambo, gatecrash their evening. The group seem very hesitant about letting him stay, but warm up to him after he shares marijuana with them. Later that night, the infected hermit comes to the cabin in search of help. Bert slams the door in his face and the desperate man tries to steal the group's vehicle. A conflict ensues between the hermit and the five friends, during which they accidentally cripple their car and set fire to the hermit. He runs off into the woods, presumably to his death. The next day, Jeff and Bert head out in search of help. They encounter a farmer who offers to help them, but hastily leave when they discover that the hermit is her cousin. Meanwhile, Deputy Winston arrives at the cabin to investigate reports of the previous night's commotion. Paul explains things without mentioning the hermit's presumed death. Winston promises to send a tow truck before departing. Dr. Mambo returns to the cabin without Grim and seemingly infected. He threatens Paul and Bert, before Marcy scares him off with the rifle. While Paul and Karen make out, they discover that Karen is infected with the flesh-eating virus and her leg has started to decay. Fearful of contagion, the others lock her in the shed. Paul leaves on foot to find help, but the only people he encounters chase him away, mistaking him for a peeping Tom. The following morning, the group's attempt to evacuate is botched when Karen vomits blood all over the interior of the car. Bert drives back to the general store alone and Jeff abandons everybody and flees to a remote shack. Marcy and Paul lament their poor chances of surviving and make passionate love, believing they won't live long enough to regret it. They later discover marks on Marcy's back that reveal she, too, is sick. At the general store, Dennis bites Bert's hand just as he did with Paul. His father, Tommy, lashes out at Bert for exposing his son to the virus, and he and his friends chase Bert down in order to contain the disease. While once again searching for help, Paul encounters the severely-burnt hermit in the lake. Surprisingly, he is still alive and he attacks Paul, only for Paul to fend him off and finally kill him. Marcy draws a bath and shaves her legs, causing the infected flesh to gruesomely peel from her body. She stumbles outside in distress and is mauled to death by Dr. Mambo. Paul returns to the boat shed where Karen begs him to kill her. His gun is empty and since he's unable to finish the job of splitting her face with a shovel, Paul sets the shed on fire and watches in horror as Karen is completely burned alive. Bert makes it back to the cabin, but he is followed and shot dead by Tommy. Paul recovers Bert's rifle and guns down Tommy and his two accomplices. Paul escapes in Tommy's truck, but crashes it into a tree and explodes. Covered in blood, Paul stumbles upon a small campfire party attended by Deputy Winston. Winston receives a radio call from the sheriff ordering her to shoot Paul on sight. However, Paul convinces Winston to let him go instead. The next morning, Jeff returns to the cabin. He finds his friends' corpses, but rejoices in having survived the ordeal himself. He's then gunned down by Deputy Winston. Paul succumbs to infection and drops dead in the woods. Dennis discovers his corpse. Back at the cabin, authorities and a hazmat crew clean up the scene. ===== Pirates have picked up a castaway named Robinson Crusoe upon finding his island. Having followed him onto the boat, a Scarlet macaw named Mak tells the true story of what really happened to a pair of mice named Rufus and Cecil. All the animals inhabited a tiny isolated South Pacific Island. Mak and his friends, including an echidna named Epi, a veiled chameleon named Carmello, a malayan tapir named Rosie, a kingfisher named Kiki, an old goat named Scrubby, and a ground pangolin named Pango all lived the perfect lives; blue skies, beautiful turquoise water, and lots of delicious food and crunchy insects. But every day is the same and Mak is really bored. Convinced there is more than just water over the horizon, he dreams of leaving his little paradise and exploring the new world. Meanwhile, an English mapmaker, namely Robinson Crusoe and his pet fox terrier Aynsley have booked passage on a ship to the new world to seek riches and gold and dealing with seasickness. During a very violent storm at night, the two are accidentally locked in the ship's hull along with a pair of embittered Persian cats, Mal and May, while the crew escapes with their lives, leaving the latter behind. During the storm, Mak and his friends of the island try to save Scrubby from falling to his death, which nearly goes bad, while trying to seek shelter in a cave on the high grounds from the storm. Arriving on the island, the next morning, Crusoe begins to look for a way out while the animals of the island, unsure of what to make of the strangers, hide out on the beach. Mak, seeing his chance to get off the island, convinces the other animals of the island to hide while he keeps an eye on them. Unfortunately, the next day, he is attacked by Mal and May, who have survived the storm as well. Luckily, Aynsley drives them away and Crusoe takes Mak aboard the wreckage to recover from his wing injury from the attack. He renames the bird Tuesday (after their second day on the island) and Aynsley convinces him that he and Crusoe are friends. Determined to take possession of the island and make Crusoe leave the island, Mal and May trick the animals of the island into believing Crusoe has murdered Mak. They have them attack Crusoe while they go after Mak and Aynsley in order to cover their tracks. In the ensuing chaos, Aynsley is pinned under a door as the remains of the ship begins to catch fire. Mak makes it out in time, but Aynsley dies in the explosion, which strands Mal and May on "Curse Island", a little island where all the bugs live. After Crusoe mourns Aynsley's death, Mak leads a grieving Crusoe to the other animals, having realized the cats' deception, in an attempt to cheer him up. Slowly but surely, the animals realize that Crusoe is friendly and begin helping him adjust to life on the island by providing him with fruits for food and helping him build a tree house, a "pipeline" for the fresh water supply, and a watchtower in case of any passing ships. However, Kiki becomes increasingly annoyed by the others' willingness to adapt to Crusoe's lifestyle as the months go by. Yet, sometimes, Crusoe seems upset by the dwindling possibility of a rescue. One afternoon, Kiki, worked up, flies out near the remains of the ship; lamenting about their lives with Crusoe, until Mal and May, with multiple litters of youngsters and having survived with nothing to eat but bugs on the rock, manage to get back on the main island from the wooden plank remains of the ship and decide to put an end to Crusoe and his friends' lives and wreak havoc on their little piece of Eden. Despite Mal and May's best efforts, the animals manage to defeat them back momentarily. Realizing the cats won't stop harassing them, at night, Mak leads them to the watchtower and, with his friends' help, traps them inside while the animals knock it down with the cats into the sea. However, their victory is short-lived when a fire set by May earlier endangers Crusoe and the animals, who was knocked unconscious in the previous fight. They manage to get him out but Crusoe becomes caught in some rigging and is rendered unconscious again by a falling wooden plank. Complicating matters is that the fire attracts the attention of a band of pirates led by the Captain Long John Silver, who drive off the "beasts" trying to save Crusoe on the same night and "rescue" him the next morning. Crusoe manages to placate them with a fictionalized version of what happened at the expense of the captain forcing him into the crew and refusing to return him back home to England due to the fear of being hung from the gallows; despite considering Crusoe's story as nothing more than yarn. After Mak finishes his story to Rufus and Cecil, he sees a poorly planned escape attempt by Crusoe results in a hectic chase. Mak rescues him (by tricking the pirates with a perfect voice imitation of the Captain momentarily) and the mice and make their way back to the island while the cats, who snuck onto the ship on a jerry-rigged life raft made out from the remains of the watchtower, which Crusoe later uses to row back to the island, are adopted by the pirates. During the credits, stills of the animals' lives with Robinson Crusoe along with Rufus and Cecil are revealed as they repair the tree house while readjusting to their lives on the island and the cats adjusting to life with Long John Silver and his crew. ===== A fourteen-year-old Jewish girl named Debbie moves to a new city and finds herself part of a small Jewish Orthodox community. Soon she comes into contact with Rabbi Werner, who is the principal of the Orthodox school that his synagogue houses, Debbie's teacher, and a child molester. After his seemingly accidental tickles and touches become inappropriate, Debbie tells her father about the non-sexual touching. He then confronts Rabbi Werner; however instead of rejecting the Rabbi, the local community rallies to defend him and rejects Debbie and her family. The story is complicated with marital issues within Debbie's family, and is further complicated by the fact that Rabbi Werner never faces justice for his crimes.Matas, Carol. The Primrose Path. Bain & Cox, 1995. Print.https://umanitoba.ca/cm/vol1no16/primrev.html ===== Chidi Nebo (Femi Jacobs) and Eugenia Nebo (Bayray Mcnwizu) are a 'prim and proper' couple, who live their entire life on a schedule, which is always carefully and perfectly planned out by the extremely uptight wife, Eugenia. They are however joined as neighbours by another couple who live the exact opposite of the Nebos' lives; Ajiri Shagaya (Nse Ikpe-Etim) and Lanre Shagaya (Blossom Chukwujekwu) are a spontaneous, carefree and totally disorganized couple. Apart from their apartment which looks like a garbage dump, they litter the premises, make so much noise to disturb their neighbours, drink a lot, and smoke narcotics; all of which Eugenia can't bear and she keeps urging her husband to do something about them. On a day, after returning drunk from a party, the Shagayas make out just outside the Nebos' window; Eugenia persuade Chidi into promising to talk to the other couple the next morning. Later that night, the Shagayas also get into a fight and they break the Nebos' window in the process; this leads them into concluding to go apologize the next morning. The Shagayas meet the Nebos right at the Nebos' door, as they are also on their way to go see the Shagayas. The Shagayas are invited in by Chidi and they discuss things amicably, whilst Eugenia is visibly enraged, but lets her husband to do the talking. The Shagayas leave their neighbours' home, but realize they've forgotten their keys. Lanre, trying to play the husband, orders Ajiri to go get the keys but she refuses. They later agree for Ajiri to knock on the door whilst Lanre will do the talking. They however enter the Nebos' apartment and disorganizes the room trying to search their keys; Chidi, fascinated by the couple, points out to them the keys, which have been placed on the table. As they were about to leave, Eugenia walks in to see the mess and she angrily speaks to the Shagayas, denigrating their entire existence; she rudely condemns the noise they make, the littering of premises, the smoking, and the loud/public sex. The Shagayas take their seats, realizing there's really a lot to talk about. Ajiri contemptuously asks Eugenia to please teach them how to live like civilized couples; Eugenia brings out typed papers for everyone, and starts to lecture. After she is done, Ajiri insults Eugenia, implying that she is not getting a great sexual encounter; because if she did, silence won't be an option during sex. Meanwhile, Eugenia realizes Chidi has been throwing her meals in the trash can after the Shagayas were unable to eat the sandwiches she offered them. As the Shagayas were about to leave; Ajiri teases the Nebos, telling Lanre that she'd go prepare a special delicacy for him and they'd have a great, loud sex. Eugenia gets back at them, likening the couple to animals in the zoo. Ajiri turns back and heckles the Nebos about how to have a civilized sex, teasing them about what a great sex is; Chidi, now sweaty and unsettled, orders the Shagayas out of his house, boasting that he is great in bed, but mistakenly says that his wife doesn't enjoy sex; Eugenia confesses that she has tried, but she just can't enjoy intercourse, because she was abused: vaginal mutilation. The situation gets sober. Ajiri follows Eugenia to the bathroom to discuss, while the husbands hangout in the kitchen. After the new pair of friends are done discussing, they head to the living room, where Ajiri bids the other couple goodbye, as she needs to attend to some clients on her PC. Eugenia offers her laptop, where Ajiri discovers Eugenia is the owner of a popular blog, which happens to be her favourite; She also reveals herself as the regular commenter, who posts musical beats (composed by Lanre). Eugenia spills and asks about her husband's "career problems". Lanre gets to learn that Ajiri was not in total support of his music career, but eventually realizes she's been hooking her up regardless. Ajiri, enraged, realizing Eugenia deliberately spilled the secret to get back at her, also reveals that Eugenia is dealing with alcohol addiction. Eugenia confesses to Chidi, whom all the while has been made to believe that his wife doesn't take alcohol, that she drinks vodka every morning by mixing it with a bit of coffee, right in front of Chidi. Eugenia also reveals that Ajiri cheats on Lanre whenever he is out of the house, as she makes her traditional loud moans in Lanre's absence. However, Ajiri confesses it to be a dildo, telling her husband, who now thinks he's not good enough, that she has a high libido, and she wants to avoid cheating on him. Ajiri also says that Lanre performed really badly on their first night together, but he is much better now. Lanre then confesses that Ajiri was the first girl he had sex with. They both kiss and make up. Chidi proposes they all start all over as nice neighbours, they head to the dining table, where the Nebos order a full serving from a restaurant. While they wait, they introduce themselves. Eugenia introduces herself as a stay-at-home blogger, a child who was abandoned, but picked up and raised by her aunty. Chidi introduces himself as a computer geek who owns his own IT firm. Ayiri is an events planner, while Lanre introduces himself as a "failed" music producer. The Nebos ask him to play one of his beats, and they enjoy it, with Chidi bragging about dancing better than Lanre; Lanre refers Chidi to ask from his past secondary school mates on his dancing skills. Coincidentally, he attended the same school with Eugenia and they in fact belong to the same set; however, Eugenia can't remember strategic events that happened in the school, and thinks the principal as the biology teacher. Ajiri starts teasing her once more, to say the truth. Enraged Eugenia grabs a bottle of Vodka attempting to hurt Ajiri, speaking in a pure south southern Pidgin. Chidi quickly disarms his wife, asking where the "tongues" came from, and how she could pick up a weapon so swiftly like a professional fighter (and Ajiri chips in; "or from the streets"). Eugenia now confesses everything; revealing that she rewrote her entire life. She was born in Sapele, Delta, but her Aunty brought her to Lagos. She was made fun of by her classmates from the university, who looked down on her as a village girl. She then decided to change, and be a person whom the world would adore and not ridicule. She also revealed that she pushed hard drugs into Italy and that her parents are still in Sapele; she visits them once a year. Chidi is now so exasperated, confused of who exactly his wife is. Lanre in the process of calming him down and imploring him to forgive his wife, accuses him of murder. Lanre reveals that Chidi was in a cult whilst in school, because he earlier called a mutual friend by a cult name. Chidi also accuses Lanre of the same thing; Ajiri shoving it off that she knows already, but that he didn't kill anyone. Chidi reveals that it is impossible for anyone to be in "Blade" (the cult name), without having hit jobs. Lanre eventually confesses that he was never in Blade, but only bought their protection. As the two couples are making up and forgiving each other for their misdeeds, a call comes in on Chidi's phone; Eugenia picks up the call despite Chidi's disapproval; she discovers that Chidi is having an extra- marital affair with his secretary, and they already have kids. Chidi says he got into it, because she has refused to bear him a child. Eugenia says that she's trying; Chidi says he thought so too, until he discovered that she was using contraceptives; he says he went to Ada, the secretary for comfort and a "good meal". As the Nebos were discussing this, the Shagayas bid the other couple goodnight and credits roll. ===== Garnet (Estelle) awakens Steven (Zach Callison) at midnight on his birthday to tell him the tale of how Ruby (Charlyne Yi) and Sapphire (Erica Luttrell) first met and fused to become Garnet. 5,750 years in the past, the Gem Homeworld is in the process of colonizing Earth, but a group of rebels is halting progress. A team of diplomats is sent to Earth to investigate, among them being Sapphire and three Ruby bodyguards. Sapphire reports her vision of the future to Blue Diamond, the leader of the mission: in the upcoming battle, the rebels will defeat seven Gems, including Sapphire herself and two Rubies, but will be captured, ending the rebellion. The rebels—Rose Quartz (Susan Egan) and Pearl (Deedee Magno Hall)—attack the Sky Arena. The battle proceeds as Sapphire had foreseen, and once two of the Rubies have been defeated, Sapphire thanks the remaining Ruby for her efforts and prepares for the inevitable. Ruby refuses to accept this outcome and leaps towards Sapphire, saving her but unintentionally fusing with her and forming Garnet for the first time. The crowd of diplomats stares in surprise and disgust at the confused Garnet, and Rose and Pearl flee during the distraction. Garnet immediately unfuses, and Ruby takes the blame for the failure of Sapphire's prediction and the illicit fusion. Blue Diamond sentences Ruby to be shattered, but Sapphire grabs her and escapes, jumping down to Earth's surface. On the ground, Ruby and Sapphire find shelter and discuss their feelings about the unexpected fusion. Over a montage of the two of them exploring Earth and getting to know each other better, they sing the song "Something Entirely New", trying to understand what it means to have become Garnet. They end with a fusion dance, fusing into Garnet once more. Having difficulty getting used to her body, Garnet tumbles down a hill into Pearl and Rose. Rose welcomes Garnet and encourages her to talk about how she feels. Garnet peppers Rose with questions about Ruby, Sapphire, and their fusion, but Rose tells Garnet that she already is "the answer" she seeks to all her questions. In the present, as Garnet finishes her story, Steven asks her what the answer was. She tells him: "love". ===== The events of the film take place during the First World War in 1917 on the Caucasian front.

Intrigues are hatched by the > jealous slave Malo and by other characters led by Romenius, a Roman > official. Romenius also loves Volivia and, for her, has abandoned his former > lover, Sericia. Romenius manages to banish both Porus and Sartagones from > Rome. Volivia seeks refuge from Romenius's advances by becoming a priestess > in the Temple of Vesta, thus giving Romenius and his soldiers a reason to > destroy the temple -- whereupon the sacred flame is extinguished. After > various episodes, including the reappearance of Porus and Sartagones, > Romenius has Malo drowned in the Tiber but is himself stabbed by his jealous > lover Sericia. When all the evildoers are dead, the sacred flame > miraculously reignites itself, the Vestal Virgins rejoice, and Volivia is > reunited with Sartagones and Porus amid general rejoicing.Lockwood (2008:82) The first scene was the only one set by Beethoven. The setting for this scene was given thus by Schikaneder: > The theater [i.e. stage ] is an enchanting garden of cypresses; a waterfall > gushes forth in the center and runs into a brook at the right. On the left > is a tomb with several steps leading down. Dawn is shining through the > trees.Translation from Westermann's (1983) edition of the work. Lockwood gives the action of the scene: > Malo has been spying on the lovers, Volivia and Sartagones, and he rushes on > to tell Porus he has seen them together, presumably all night since it is > not morning. Porus is furious, because he hates Sartagones, and declares he > will disown his daughter. ... Porus and Malo hide as the lovers appear. Now > Sartagones and Volivia swear to love each other, but she anxiously begs > Sartagones to ask her father's blessing, assuring him that Porus is good > hearted. Porus suddenly emerges and confronts Sartagones, evoking their > ancient family feud. Volivia pleads, but Porus is adamant. Then Sartagones > draws his sword, asking "Will not she be mine?" Porus refuses, whereupon > Sartagones points the sword at his own breast. But Porus, whose anger turns > in a flash to sympathy, strikes the sword at once from Sartagones's hand, > singing with Volivia, "Halt ein!" ["Stop!"] ... Now Porus immediately turns > magnanimous, ... declaring "Since you love her so much, I will bestow her > upon you" and affirms his friendship with Sartagones. Malo, upset by all > this, leaves the stage, whereupon the three main characters -- the father > and the two lovers -- close the first scene in a joyful trio of mutual > affection.Lockwood (2008:83) As Lockwood notes, Beethoven set this stage action in four musical sections, with keys as noted: #G minor: dialog of Malo and Porus #E flat major: love duet of Volivia and Sartagonese #C minor: "accompanied dialog recitative: confrontation of Sartagones and Porus, ending in their reconciliation" #G major: final trio The scoring of the work is for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, and strings.Westermann (1983:2) ===== ===== In Siberia under occupation of the Whites, on the orders of Admiral Kolchak house searches and mass arrests of the Bolsheviks take place.

Garnet (Estelle) deduces that the signal is coming from the Gem Communication Hub, which the Crystal Gems destroyed in the earlier episode "Coach Steven". The Crystal Gems travel to the Communication Hub and find the antenna has been rebuilt. Previously, Garnet and Amethyst destroyed the antenna by fusing into Sugilite, but Sugilite's destructive personality got out of control, so Garnet rules out fusing with Amethyst this time. Instead, she asks Pearl (Deedee Magno Hall) to fuse with her. Pearl is thrilled by the offer, and she and Garnet form Sardonyx (Alexia Khadime), who destroys the Communication Hub while boasting about her intelligence and grace. After defusing, Garnet and Pearl celebrate with Steven while Amethyst sulks, feeling excluded.

Later, when Garnet and Pearl are about to fuse to break down the antenna a third time, Amethyst and Steven stop them and reveal that they know that it was Pearl who rebuilt it. Pearl confesses that she was just trying to create an excuse for more opportunities to enjoy the emotional thrill of fusing with Garnet. Amethyst comes to Pearl's defense, but Garnet is furious and disgusted by Pearl's betrayal, and demands that Amethyst fuse with her to destroy the Communication Hub. Sometime later, back home, Steven and Amethyst are watching Crying Breakfast Friends. Garnet is not speaking to Pearl. As the characters on Crying Breakfast Friends forgive each other, Amethyst wistfully remarks that "it sure would be nice if things worked out the way they do in cartoons." =====
