Vignettes composition as follows: ===== The film begins with a narration on how India has been turned into a landfill site for domestic and foreign countries, with the countries dumping even ammunition waste on Indian soil. In Delhi, Balusamy aka Balu (Arya), a communist leader who is convicted by the court on counts of robbery, murder, and treason is given the death sentence. Despite Balu's request to execute him as a martyr by shooting, the court orders that he be hanged within a month's time by a professional executioner or hangman. He is escorted to a high security prison complex in Chennai by Macaulay (Shaam), an honest, law-abiding police officer who is given the charge of monitoring him until his execution. The prison provides freedom to all prisoners, including Balu, to do whatever they want, as long as they do not cause unrest. Balu is instantly admired by the inmates for his patriotism and philosophy, as well as his empathy with the inmates. They view him as a spokesperson to the prison officials on behalf of them. Meanwhile, Macaulay searches for a hangman and learns of Yamalingam (Vijay Sethupathi), an executioner who has had a disdain of execution since his teens due to remorse of hanging an innocent man who was wrongly accused. Macaulay tries to convince Yamalingam to carry out the duty of executing Balu, to which he agrees after much coercion by Macaulay that Balu is a convict. Yamalingam is given a special phone tuned to a certain frequency where Macaulay can contact him. Elsewhere, Kuyili (Karthika), Balu's trusted comrade, learns about his conviction and assembles a group of computer hackers to hack into the prison's surveillance system. She befriends Yamalingam and uses him as a messenger to convey their escape plan to Balu. Kuyili also explains to Yamalingam that Balu was a communist leader in North India who wanted to prevent India from turning into a landfill site. To justify his actions, Balu took to violence and tried suicide bombing the Indian Army but failed due to Kuyili's reluctance to kill him. He was apprehended and jailed in Delhi. Kuyili tells Yamalingam that her refusal to kill Balu and his past guilt of executing an innocent person were the reasons that made them allies. Yamalingam becomes impressed by Balu's ideologies and decides to stop Balu from being executed. He requests Macaulay to meet Balu in person, to which he agrees. Yamalingam makes a mannequin based on Balu's likeness, to test the rope for hanging, with Balu conveying the escape plan to him, unknown to Macaulay, through a sheet of paper. Soon, with the help of two inmates, Balu escapes from jail in the place of a South African convict, but he surrenders upon seeing the convict being battered by the police. Macaulay and the police beat Balu up and lock him up in a secured prison cell, chained. Kuyili disguises herself as a fiancee of Balu and visits him in prison to convey the escape plan to him in Sanskrit. She later devises a plan with Yamalingam to aid Balu's escape at the execution chamber. Meanwhile, Macaulay comes to know that Yamalingam has been in contact with Kuyili but decides to deal with him after Balu's execution. He holds a press conference along with the government officials allotting the date of Balu's execution, but changes plans that night by detaining the officials, including Yamalingam and seizing their phones until Balu is executed the day before the officially announced date, while enforcing strict security around the prison premises with the help of soldiers. Macaulay goes to Balu's cell and takes him out into the prison ground where he tells him of his execution date as a prisoner's right to information. He also discusses with Balu on the irony that how he was looked upon as a traitor by the public despite his crusade for the people, to which Balu retorts by saying that the police works for a corrupt government. Macaulay informs Balu that Yamalingam had been in contact with Kuyili and sends a message to Yamalingam's phone as Kuyili to assure him that they know the changed date of the execution. He tells Balu that no one would come to save him, but asks if he was valiant enough to give up his life as a martyr, to which Balu replies that he see it for himself at the execution chamber. On the day of his execution, Balu delivers a speech saying that Indian people have the rights to their own land and they should not allow foreign countries to abuse it. Yamalingam looks at Balu's eyes and winks at him, assuring him that he shall escape, covers his face and places the noose on him, then proceeds to hang him, being tensed after the process. Unbeknownst to Yamalingam, Kuyili had not been informed of the execution. When Balu's body is retrieved from the trapdoor, Yamalingam becomes remorseful and demands the officials that he keep the body, but to no avail. Balu's body is cremated at the prison complex by Macaulay and the police. Yamalingam mentally breaks down, out of guilt of executing Balu and carries the mannequin he made earlier and sees it as Balu himself. Kuyili, upon hearing Balu's execution, leaves India with her comrades on a boat. Some years later, Yamalingam, now a beggar with mental illness, converses with Balu's mannequin on a railway track and tells it the impact of Balu's ideology on the public, then salutes it as the film ends. ===== Dominic Roy (Callan McAuliffe) is a 17-year-old headstrong and hardworking teen who works in the local potato harvest farm to earn money to escape the struggling Maine hometown hopefully for a better future.

The actors were prompted by "pieces of meat and cookies thrown into [sic] the appropriate direction". About the meaning of the dogs' acting, Schippers said that humans act on stage but "dogs remain normal. Thinking about that gives you a new perspective on the theater". ===== Two newlyweds have different political views. ===== The story follows a young prodigy and his family, a girl, a rival, and a teacher, none named. The first phase opens ("Prologue: The Blackboard") with a hint of the genius of the prodigy before the story falls back eleven years to the prodigy's parents ("The Theory of Everything part 1"). The father is working on the titular "Theory of Everything"—a unified theory explaining all the forces of the cosmos. In doing so, he neglects his wife and young child. The main character, the prodigy, is finally introduced ("The Prodigy's World") and reveals his genius prevents him from normal social interactions. He frequently lives inside his head and stares off into space. Human life and society bore him and don't fit into the grand scheme of things—his mental model of the universe. The story jumps three years ("The Teacher's Discovery") where the teacher, a voice from the prologue, discovers the boy's genius. A rival classmate accuses him of fraud, and a girl rises to his defense ("Love and Envy"). The teacher arranges a meeting with the boy's father ("The Gift"), where the father learns that his son is more than just an awkward kid who spaces out. A few more years pass ("Inertia") and the prodigy tries to reach out to his father to no avail. Finally, the father and mother decide the child needs some medical intervention ("The Theory of Everything Part 2"): the mother believes the child needs to fit in with society to have a normal life, and the father finally realizes that his genius son might help him discover the Theory of Everything. Phase 2 deals with the prodigy's visit to therapy. A drug is introduced that might help him, but the psychiatrist admits that it is very experimental. Even though the father is intrigued, the mother is completely against anything that might endanger their son ("Diagnosis" / "The Argument 1"). His teacher reveals that he could use the child to boost his own popularity; the girl reveals she wants him to open up to her ("Potential"). As the prodigy continues living in his own chaotic world the father wonders if the psychiatrist's drug really will help ("Quantum Chaos"). The Father wants the child to help with the Theory of Everything, and decides to take the therapist's drug ("Dark Medicine") and feed it to the child secretly. The prodigy takes very well to it, as the results are almost immediate and miraculous ("Alive"). The mother is also happy about their son's drastic improvement, even though she is still unaware that it is due to the drug she was adamantly opposed to ("The Prediction"). Phase 3 opens as the teacher also notices the changes in the prodigy, but wonders if something unhealthy is occurring. But he is still determined to help the prodigy ("Transformation"). As a result of the drug the prodigy has a great new found confidence and finally confronts his classmate rival ("Collision"). Eventually the psychiatrist tells the father that the drug can cause severe psychosis and delusions and urges him to stop the treatment. The father comes clean to the prodigy about giving him the drug. Feeling betrayed he runs away ("Side Effects"). Eventually, after trying to find the teacher, the prodigy runs into the girl and the rival, and explains to them about what his father did. The prodigy asks if he can stay with the girl, who reciprocates his offer without hesitation or resistance at the behest of the rival who says the prodigy will use her. Undaunted, the girl tries to take care of the prodigy, but without the drug he withdraws into himself again ("Magnetism"). Time passes and the rival reveals he can synthesize the therapist's drug if the prodigy helps in a bank robbery ("Quid Pro Quo"). When the plan succeeds, the girl tells the prodigy to leave since she is disappointed in his choices, and he is heartbroken that she is gone ("Fortune?"). Phase 4 opens three months before the prologue, with the girl and the mother revealing their helplessness in the main character's situation ("Mirror of Dreams"). The prodigy, having nowhere else to turn now, meets the teacher again to resume work on the Theory of Everything. With money now a formality to the prodigy, he buys and resumes his work in a lighthouse ("The Lighthouse"). The father knows his chances for discovering the theory lie with the prodigy, but the mother doesn't want to hear any more of it ("The Argument 2"). After months of fruitless arguments, the mother tells the father that she is leaving him, he is heartbroken and believes there is only one thing left for him to do ("The Parting"). The prodigy later—only one day before the opening of the story—sees the father in the lighthouse to help unify their efforts and complete the work. They work constantly all throughout the night while the prodigy takes a much larger dose of the drug than usual ("The Visitation" / "The Breakthrough"). Exhausted, the prodigy writes a quick note explaining their success to the teacher ("The Note"). The next day, --same day as the Prologue—the real nature of the previous day's events is revealed: the teacher comes to visit the lighthouse and finds the prodigy lying catatonic in the corner, with the note crumpled in his hand. He immediately calls the girl to tell her of the note regarding the breakthrough. As the girl showed up at the lighthouse to meet the teacher, she is already in tears after a phone call with the prodigy's mother. The girl explains that the father took his own life before the supposed visitation ("The Uncertainty Principle"); he couldn't have been there with his son for the breakthrough ("Dark Energy"), and it could only be a hallucination from the prodigy. The girl and the mother mourn together the losses of their loved ones, come to an agreement that the world isn't ready to know the Theory of Everything, and decide to move on with their lives. After everyone else leaves the lighthouse, the teacher examines the blackboard and notices there are two different hand writing styles, as if the father and son had truly completed their theory together ("The Theory of Everything Part 3" / "The Blackboard - Reprise"). ===== Two sisters find themselves caught up in politics in the turmoil following the Spanish Civil War.

Investing this money, Oeij Se is quickly able to become a successful businessman, dabbling in various aspects of trade and building an extensive home for himself, his wife, and their two children. Years pass until one day a Dutchman named Vigni comes to and asks permission to store a locked chest filled with gold in Oeij Se's home for safekeeping. Oeij Se agrees, but no sooner has Vigni left than Oeij Se asks his cook for help picking the lock. Several days later, Vigni returns and is shocked to find that his gold has been replaced by silver. Vigni and Oeij Se, departing on a ship to the colonial capital at Batavia (now Jakarta), depart on amicable terms, although Vigni suspects the latter and Oeij Se feels a little guilty over his actions. Upon arriving home Vigni commits suicide. Oeij Se, meanwhile, continues onward to Singapore, where he buys a young woman from a brothel to be his second wife. They return to Pekalongan and Oeij Se's wife, though upset, is forced by their culture to accept this new addition to the family. Oeij Se marries his second wife as his daughter, Kim Nio, marries her betrothed. Four years later, however, Kim Nio's husband dies, leaving her a single mother. She returns to live with her family, but is furtively sought by the local regent, who wants her as his second wife. Using bribery and magic, he is able to convince her to elope with him. Oeij Se, distraught at Kim Nio having married outside her race, disowns her and acts as if she were dead, going as far as to construct a grave for her. To avoid the shame of his daughter's actions, Oeij Se moves to Batavia. Some months later Kim Nio (now a Muslim and known as Siti Fatimah) visits, seemingly to make amends with her family. She takes back her daughter and then returns to Pekalongan, dying there after seeing her own grave. ===== Somewhere in Israel, three children play hide-and-seek in the woods. One of the girls hides in the closet in an abandoned house, from where she is abducted by an unknown perpetrator. Dror, a school teacher, is suspected of the crime and is arrested by the police. He is subjected to torture by a police team led by Micki to reveal the location of the missing girl. This whole episode is shot on his phone by a kid who happens to be playing in the vicinity and is subsequently uploaded onto YouTube. An unnamed caller leads the police to the location of the girl's body in a field. She has been sexually assaulted and her head is missing. According to Jewish law, a Jew is to be buried as he was born - complete with all his limbs and organs. Micki is subsequently fired from the police force, but he plans to kidnap Dror to extract a confession and thus clear his name. The case is handed over to another police officer, Rami. The girl's father, Gidi, himself a retired military man, also suspects Dror of his involvement and plans to kidnap him. Dror is first kidnapped by Micki but later both of them are kidnapped by Gidi and taken to an abandoned house in the middle of an area surrounded by Arab villages. Here, both Micki and Gidi take turns torturing Dror, until he convinces Micki that he might after all be innocent. Gidi, a hardened veteran, doesn't fall for the trick and manages to disarm and shackle Micki in his basement. Upon hearing the fabricated story that he might be ill, Gidi's father comes to visit him with some hot soup and accidentally encounters the two captives in the basement. Gidi's father, an Army veteran, decides to help his son in tracing his granddaughter's missing head. Micki—who has in his possession a rusty nail—asks Dror to lie about the location of the girl's head to buy them some time to escape. Gidi then leaves the house to locate his daughter's missing head and Micki also escapes and goes out to look for help. He makes a phone call to the police department, where he learns that his daughter is missing. It then strikes him that Dror referred to his daughter in a conversation while he had no way of knowing that Micki had a daughter. Gidi searches the described location for his daughter's head but upon not finding anything comes back and starts cutting off Dror's head with a hacksaw. Micki also reaches the house and tries to ask Dror for the location of his daughter but Dror dies before he can reply. In the final scene, police officer Rami, who is investigating the case, is shown inspecting Dror's house for any clues. He does not find anything and leaves the house. Micki's daughter is shown unconscious behind a fake wall. ===== While doing time in prison for a violent offense, Nick Burke (Mark Pellegrino) is visited by his wife who informs him that after waiting for seven years, she is divorcing him and has taken out a restraining order against him to prevent him from seeing their daughter. Sometime later, after accepting the parole board's condition that he relinquish all custodial rights of his daughter, he is given his freedom. Now in his mid-forties and determined to start a new life, Nick tries to find his way back into society and move beyond his violent criminal past. He meets with his parole officer, finds a small motel room, and attends an AA meeting. Nick's younger brother Dean (Ryan O'Nan) visits him at the motel and describes his life as a newlywed and police officer, having just graduated from the police academy. Although their relationship seems strained, Nick still looks to connect with his brother, even though he never visited him in prison. Before leaving, Dean gives his older brother a gun for protection. Nick soon finds work at a manufacturing plant. At the motel, Nick meets a lonely and troubled stripper named Michelle Page (Alicia Witt), whose isolated life is interrupted by the deaths of her elderly neighbors. Nick asks his attractive neighbor out for coffee, and the two begin to share their stories with each other. One morning, Michelle's former acquaintance Danny Wilson (Tom Guiry), whom she hasn't seen in three years, shows up after his three-year tour of duty in Afghanistan, expecting to rekindle their relationship. Michelle hardly knows this man who has developed an obsession over her. When Michelle rejects his advances and his demands for a personal reward for his service to his country, he sticks a gun in her face and brutally rapes her in her room. Hearing the commotion, Nick runs to her room with his brother's gun in hand. In the confrontation, both men are shot — Danny is mortally wounded. In the coming days, Michelle visits Nick in the hospital as he recovers from his gunshot wound to the stomach. When he learns that Danny died from his wounds, and knowing that he violated his parole and would be sent back to prison—no matter how good his intentions in stopping the attack, Nick leaves the hospital with Michelle's help, and the two drive to the home of Nick's brother Dean and his pregnant wife. There they get a glimpse of a domestic life they have never known. The relationship between the two brothers remains strained, yet Nick reaches out to make some familial connection with Dean, whose only advice is to "disappear". The next morning, Nick and Michelle leave in Nick's old truck, knowing they have become outlaws on the run. They find solace in each other's arms that night in a motel. Soon after, police detectives arrive at Dean's house with the gun he gave his brother. Convinced that Michelle gave the gun to police, when Nick calls, Dean tells him that she betrayed him. Later, Nick confronts Michelle about the gun, and she swears she did not give it to the police — that they must have discovered where she had hidden the weapon. That night they have sex. In the morning, Michelle discovers that Nick has abandoned her, perhaps for her own protection. Later, back at her motel, Michelle is arrested by the police and she is taken to jail. Meanwhile, Nick drives to his daughter's school and meets one of her teachers, who tells him she is doing fine. After school, he observes his daughter leaving with her friends, but he does not approach her. Sometime later, on a quiet deserted lake, Nick floats across the water in his old boat. ===== A widowed merchant (André Dussollier) is forced to move to the countryside after going bankrupt, with his six children.

The enlisted men of the battery are harassed by their Wachmeister Schulz and a platoon leader, Feldwebel Platzek, at every opportunity. Gunner Vierbein, who has a passion for music and wanted to become a piano player, is a preferred target. This intensifies when Vierbein is ordered by Schulz to beat the carpets in Schulz's duty apartment and Schulz's wife, Lore, begins flirting with him. Even the squad leader Unteroffizier Lindenberg, who is known to be fair and correct, starts under pressure from Schulz to pick on Vierbein. He breaks down under the constant hard drill and harassment and steals ammunition on a rifle range to commit suicide. One of his comrades, Gefreiter Asch, who helps him to get along with the military life, prevents this and decides that the harassment by the NCOs mustn't continue. Asch, who is viewed as one of the best soldiers in the battery and highly valued by Schulz and the other NCOs, and his friend Obergefreiter Kowalski start to compromise their superiors one by one. Lindenberg is provoked to report Asch for insubordination, but Kowalksi, who is named as witness, doesn't support the claim. The mess-sergeant, Rumpler, reports Asch for mutiny when he controls the food and gets a result of unwarranted decrease. Rumpler withdraws his report when Schulz is threatening to inspect the kitchen food himself. Platzek tries to cover up the loss of the ammunition that Asch has kept, and though Asch helps him to falsify the documents he makes clear to Platzek that he is in his hands now. Later Asch and Kowalksi use the ammunition to fire several shots into Schulz's office while Schulz and Platzek are in it. Schulz, who recommended Asch for promotion to Unteroffizier himself, is unnerved because of the shooting and the constant reports about Asch, and relays the reports up to the battery commander, Hauptmann Derna. Derna refers Asch to the doctor, who declares him officially insane. Asch uses this diagnose and threatens the doctor with a gun. Now the situation is so severe that Derna takes the reports to the battalion commander, Major Luschke. Luschke, severely unnerved by Derna and his inability to handle it himself, takes measures. He talks the officers and NCOs who reported Asch into withdrawing them by threat of demotion or transfer.

In their investigation, they discover a human arm. A day after Jack and Amanda are married and set off on their honeymoon to Nantucket, Massachusetts, Nate Ryan reveals himself to have stowed away on the boat and he takes the couple hostage. Jack quickly realizes this is about the business deal with the Stowaway, and convinces Ryan to allow him to negotiate with Conrad over the phone. However, since Ryan cut the phone line at the end of the previous episode, they must sail closer to shore. Conrad promises to make it worth Ryan's while if he recovers the laptop in Amanda's possession (that actually belongs to Emily) and kills her. Emily finds Ryan hiding under the deck on the Amanda in a photo that Declan Porter (Connor Paolo) took before the Amanda left. She and Nolan Ross (Gabriel Mann) identify Ryan and, realizing the Porters are in danger, set off in a boat after the Amanda. In an attempt to win Ryan's confidence, Amanda claims she is enacting what is really Emily's plan to destroy the Graysons, and bluffs that she was using Jack (who hears the conversation below deck). Jack comes above deck and pretends to argue with Amanda while Ryan is distracted with searching for the laptop on the boat. Though they trap him below deck for a time, he eventually frees himself and inadvertently shoots Jack. Amanda releases the life raft with Jack in it, staying on the boat. She attempts to fight Ryan. She is locked inside the boat, and left with no other option, creates a hole in the hull to sink it.

While Emily and Nolan are off to rescue Amanda, Aiden Mathis (Barry Sloane) attempts to assist Padma Lahari in probing the Initiative for information. She informs them that she can obtain Nolan's Carrion program for them, but will not do so until she has proof that her father, the leverage the Initiative has been using to force her compliance, is alive. Trask informs her that Crowley was "no longer with us," but orders her to continue her mission and sends her one of her father's fingers in a package. Emily and Nolan locate and rescue an unconscious and wounded Jack. While Nolan races Jack to the hospital, Emily presses on, in Jack's life raft, to save Amanda. As the boat Amanda continues to fill with water, Ryan comes below deck, giving Amanda an opportunity to escape. Before he can come after her, Emily boards the boat and engages in combat with him. In the struggle, Ryan's gunshots rupture the boat's propane hose. Before he can kill Emily, Amanda shoots him with another gun, wounding him temporarily. The girls prepare to escape, though Amanda stops for a second to retrieve her necklace, which she lost in the earlier struggle. She witnesses Ryan striking a match and barely escapes the boat before it explodes. Following the explosion, Emily searches for Amanda among the wreckage and pulls her onto the partially deflated life raft. Emily discovers that Amanda was gravely wounded in the explosion, and before her death, she makes Emily promise to take care of Jack and their son Carl, and gives Emily her necklace (which Emily originally gave to her before leaving juvenile detention.

In this timeline, the Civil War never ended and there was an extended war between the Union, the Confederacy, an African American kingdom, a Native American confederacy, Chinese exiles, and Texan separatists. This strife comes to a sudden halt when a comet hits present-day Kansas on November 9, 1908. The six warring parties meet at Armistice—the location of the comet's impact—and make a truce, thereby forming "the Seven Nations of America": Armistice, The Union, The Confederacy, the Kingdom, the Endless Nation, the Republic of Texas, and the People's Republic of America. On the same day as the comet impact and the signing of the treaty, there were two simultaneous, yet independent prophecies: 1. Elijah Longstreet was a soldier in the Confederate Army under Stonewall Jackson; he wrote his part of the prophecy down and then collapsed and died. 2. Red Cloud had become the chief of chiefs to the Endless Indian Nation by defeating the many Indian chiefs and uniting all of the Indian tribes under himself; he transmitted his portion of the prophecy orally and then he too collapsed and died. For fifty years, these prophecies, referred to by believers as "the Message", remained incomplete. In 1958, Chairman Mao Zedong of the PRA wrote an addendum to his Little Red Book; this addendum was the third piece of the prophecy and completed the Message. It now became clear that The Message was a prophecy of the End of Times. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Death, War, Famine, and Conquest) seek to fulfill the prophecy by following the Message. Believers in the Message make pilgrimage to the site of the comet impact but are always killed by the Four Horsemen. One year, Conquest spares the infant child of one of the pilgrims and takes him as her own. She names him Ezra Orion and raises him to be the carrier of the Message. The Horsemen build a structure over Armistice to prevent any further pilgrimages and they train Ezra to become "what the Message demands"; Ezra is the first member of "the Chosen" and his job is to be the Keeper of the Message. The Horsemen gather 6 other members for the Chosen, each Chosen being a high-ranking member of one of the respective nations. The Chosen are tasked with the goal of bringing about the Apocalypse. Now, on their path to the Apocalypse, the Horsemen get derailed when Death falls in love with Xiaolian, one of the two daughters of Mao V. She and Death have a son together and Death loses interest in the mission of the Horsemen. Death and Xiaolian leave their previous lives to go live together and raise their son. However, this coupling was foretold by the prophecy and Ezra interprets their offspring to be "the Beast" that will bring about the apocalypse. Xiaolian's sister, Hu, is a believer in the Message and a member of the Chosen. She betrays her sister to the three remaining Horsemen and they take away her son. Xia is taken prisoner by her own father, who agrees to cut a deal with the three Horsemen: Mao will keep Xiaolian's continued existence a secret from Death and in exchange, Mao can maintain control of the PRA, and Xiaolian can keep her life. Xiaolian is told that her son was killed, but in fact Ezra begins raising him to become the Beast. After Xiaolian is imprisoned and her son is taken from her, her arms are cut off and delivered to Death by the other 3 horseman to convince him she is dead. In his rage, Death kills the other 3 horseman as the Chosen watch on and then seemingly kill him. However, Death survives due to the intervention of two witches of the Endless Nation: Crow and the son of the Shaman of the Endless Nation: Wolf. 10 years later, War, Famine, and Conquest are resurrected at Armistice as 10-year-old children; but they realize that Death was not resurrected as a child because he was not killed when they were. They feel abandoned by Death and are determined to accomplish the mission without their fourth compatriot. Death, on the other hand, seeks revenge on The Chosen for the presumed murders of his wife and son. Here begins the story of East of West #1. ===== NOTE: This synopsis is based on the first Broadway preview. Changes may have been implemented to the show since then. The musical opens with an introduction of young Amélie and her family ("Times Are Hard For Dreamers (Prologue)"). Young Amélie is born to a germaphobe father, Raphael, and neurotic mother, Amandine, and she feels isolated and emotionally distant from her parents. She takes solace in her telescope, which she uses to view the universe from afar. Her only contact with her parents comes in the form of a monthly health check-up from her father. One day, Amélie gets so excited to see him that her heart races and Raphael misdiagnoses her with a heart condition ("World's Best Dad"). Her parents, paranoid, begin to homeschool Amélie and cut off all of her contact with the outside world. In a lesson with Amandine one day, Amélie imagines her goldfish, Fluffy, coming alive and speaking to her ("World's Best Friend"). When Amélie allows Fluffy to jump into her drinking glass, her parents panic and force Amélie to release Fluffy into the Seine, leaving her alone. Feeling bad, Amandine takes Amélie to Notre Dame to make up for what happened, and Amandine prays for guidance on how to deal with Amélie and hopes for a son ("World's Best Mom"). When they leave the cathedral, Amandine is crushed and killed by a suicidal tourist who leapt from the top of it. The death hits Raphael hard, and he builds a shrine in their home to Amandine, complete with a garden gnome. Years pass, and Amélie becomes bored with her quiet life and distant father, and she decides to leave home. Five years later, she is a waitress at a café in Montmartre ("Times Are Hard for Dreamers"). She has a quiet, happy life, and spends her time with her three co-workers: Suzanne, the café's owner and a past circus performer, Georgette, a hypochondriac, and Gina. Some of Amélie's regular customers include Gina's ex-boyfriend Joseph, Hipolito, a poet, and Philomene, an air hostess. ("The Commute") On the night of Princess Diana's death, Amélie discovers a box of childhood treasures belonging to the man who used to own her apartment ("The Bottle Drops"). She is determined to find the owner and anonymously deliver the box to him, and if the owner is touched by her gesture, she resolves that she will become an anonymous do-gooder. She first meets with a cranky grocer, Colignon, who constantly abuses his assistant, Lucien, a mentally-ill young man that has an obsession with fruit ("Three Figs"). Colignon tells Amélie to confer with his mother on the other side of town. At the train station, Amélie spots a man her age, Nino, who she is attracted to. However, the train arrives before she can introduce herself to him. At Colignon's mother's home, Amélie learns the surname of the box's owner: Bredoteau. When Amélie returns home Nino spots her on the street, noticing how pretty she is and finds himself intrigued with the box. Time passes, and Amélie's search for Bredoteau isn't working out. One day, she speaks to her neighbor, Julien Dufayel—an artist who suffers from a brittle bone disease, giving him the nickname 'The Glass Man'—and, possibly recognizing the box, tells her that Bredoteau is the incorrect name. The man was really called Bretodeau. Dufayel then shows Amélie his recreation of the painting The Luncheon of the Boating Party, remarking on Amélie's isolation ("The Girl with the Glass"). Amélie discovers Bretodeau in the phonebook and calls him from a payphone, telling him where he can pick up the box ("How To Tell Time"). When Bretodeau finds it, he reflects on his childhood and decides to call his ex-wife and arrange to meet their son. Taking it as a sign, Amélie continues her good-doing, taking a blind beggar on a tour of the streets of Paris, describing his surroundings in detail. ("Tour de France"). Later that night, Amélie has a strange dream where she imagines her lavish funeral in the style of Princess Diana's, where she is serenaded by Elton John and dubbed 'Godmother of the Unloved' – someone who gives herself to help others despite not being able to find her own love ("Goodbye Amélie"). Amélie suddenly realizes she hasn't helped her father and visits him the next day and tries to convince him to leave home ("Backyard"). He refuses, saying he can't leave the garden gnome, so Amélie secretly steals it as she leaves. On her way home, she spots Nino again at the train station, where he drops a photo album on the ground that Amélie takes. Amélie explores the album with Dufayel, and finds it is full of photo-booth photographs, one of which is a picture of a man who appears over and over again, expressionless. Nino appears and explains the meaning of the photos to the company ("When the Booth Goes Bright"). Amélie watches him from the distance, and Dufayel, seeing her attraction to him, encourages her to give the album back and meet Nino. Amélie seeks out his place of work, a sex shop, and goes dressed as a nun. While she waits for Nino, the other employees mock him, unknowingly painting him as a perfect match for Amélie. However, when he arrives, Amélie runs away ("Sister's Pickle"). He chases her but she escapes and reflects on her childhood, remembering how her mother told her never to get too close to anyone ("Halfway"). Amélie then calls Nino, but refuses to give him her identity, instead sending him a photo of her in another disguise and a riddle to solve. At the café, Amélie secretly instigates a romantic encounter between Joseph and Georgette. Her father then turns up, telling Amélie about the missing gnome and how he has been getting anonymous postcards detailing the gnome's travels ("There's No Place Like Gnome"). The travels encouraged Raphael to step out of the house to look for him, and Amélie uses the opportunity to get him to relax and embrace the change, while introducing him to Suzanne, who he falls for. Meanwhile, Nino has been searching Paris for Amélie, and handing out posters with her photo on them to anyone he sees, wondering how he's fallen for someone who doesn't want to be found ("Thin Air"). While doing another of her good deeds—spray painting a quote from one of Hipolito's poems on walls around Paris—Amélie notices the flyers and runs home, sending Nino another photo and instructions to meet her at the Montmartre Carousel. Amélie constructs an elaborate trail to lead Nino to the album ("Blue Arrow Suite") and watches him follow it. When he finds the album, she calls out to him, asking about the man in the photo-booth. However, Nino is more interested in seeing her face, and she agrees to meet him at the café on Tuesday. Tuesday arrives and Nino is late for the , prompting Amélie to imagine an elaborate story to his reasoning ("The Late Nino Quincampoix"). Meanwhile, Georgette is overwhelmed by Joseph's clingy nature. Nino shows up, but when he recognizes Amélie, she finds herself nervous and runs from him. Hurt and tired, Nino leaves, but the girls in the café go after him just as Amélie reconsiders and returns. Asking of Nino's whereabouts, Joseph lies and says he went off with Gina. Heartbroken, Amélie returns home. Outside the café, Gina, Georgette and Suzanne demand to know Nino's intentions with Amélie ("A Better Haircut"). Nino says he is honestly in love with her, and needs to know how she feels for him. Touched, Georgette gives him Amélie's address. At home, Dufayel tries to talk to Amélie, but she angrily tells him to stay out of her business, not stopping to hear that he has finally gotten out of his rut and painted a unique picture: a portrait of her. As she goes inside, Nino shows up outside her door and begs a conflicted Amélie to let him inside and stop running from him ("Stay"). She is convinced to let Nino inside when Dufayel, through the apartment's window, shows Amélie his painting and insists that she'll regret not trying a relationship with Nino. She opens the door and tells Nino she wants to be with him. He tells her he loves her, even if she cannot love him back ("Halfway (Reprise)"). They kiss and Amélie takes him to the photo booth, where she shows him the answer to the mystery of the man in the album: he's the repairman who takes a photo after fixing the booth, to check if it works properly. They go into the photo booth, taking pictures together, and reflecting on their newfound happiness and wondering what will happen next ("Where Do We Go From Here?"). ===== Tim is a used car salesman who uses profanity and antagonizes people into purchasing his cars.

This changes once she watches her older brother Baldur fall off a tractor before his long hair is scalped by its blades. He is rushed out by the family by truck for medical attention, but he dies of his injury. At his funeral, Hera glares at the portrait of Jesus on the wall and runs out of the church during the service. Returning home, she picks up her brother's guitar and immediately adopts his metal music and fashion, burning all of her old clothes. Years later, as Hera is a young adult, life in her home has not improved. She and her parents are still in shock and grief over Baldur's death. Meanwhile, her mother and father, respectively Droplaug and Karl, pursue community life by participating in the village church choir. There, they meet the new priest, Janus, who is liberal and rumored to be homosexual. In the local community, Hera's lifestyle stands out. She is bullied by other youths, who call her a devil worshiper. She frequently gets into trouble, doing things such as playing her guitar too loudly in the house and drunkenly stealing her neighbor's tractor. She gets a job at a slaughterhouse, but is soon fired for playing metal music over the loudspeakers and scaring off the livestock. She goes with her family to a church sermon, but disrupts it by smoking inside. As she walks out and grieves over Baldur's grave, Janus tries reaching out to her, but she initially rejects him. She goes to a community ball, but is kicked out after trying to start a moshpit. Her childhood friend Knútur comes with her as she heads home, where they have sex. He tries to start a conversation with her afterwards, but she turns away and leaves the room. One morning, Hera dons corpse paint and furiously herds all of her family's cattle out of the barn in the middle of the winter. Later that night, Knútur comes over to her house to propose to her, but she rejects him and tosses the ring out of his hands. In the wake of Hera's behaviour, her parents called over Janus for counseling. He agrees to help her, but then tries asking Karl and Droplaug about the state of their relationship. They initially refuse to talk about it, but Karl later breaks down, blaming himself for his son's death. Afterwards, he and Droplaug open up to each other about it more and, to Hera's surprise as she comes home, their relationship starts mending. Janus tries reaching out to Hera again, but Hera tries again to resist. She claims that Christians wouldn't understand her music when he tries discussing it with her, but he then reveals his Iron Maiden tattoo to her. They start having a friendly discourse on heavy metal music. However, when he tries talking to her on an emotional level, she instantly attempts to seduce him, causing him to leave. Meanwhile, she sees a news report about the Norwegian black metal scene and the arson attacks associated with it. Immensely interested in it, she records a black metal demo of her own and sends a copy of it away to the post office. As Janus still tries reaching out to her, they still talk and she shows him her metal recordings. One night, though, she comes over to his house and starts exhibiting romantic feelings for him, but he then confesses that he doesn't feel mutually about her. Emotionally estranged, Hera sets fire to the community church and runs away from her parents' home. Gathering supplies and a gun, she heads off into the nearby mountains to stay in a hunting shack. However, as she couldn't survive for long there, she returns home. Upon entering her house, she walks in on a town meeting. She breaks down and is forgiven by her neighbors and friends. As they discuss reconciliation for her actions, the townspeople explained that they will not release her identity as the arsonist. She offers to pay for the damage to the church herself, but out of empathy and realism, the townspeople stated that they will all repay and repair it together. Hera then moves in with Knútur and his family, but is pushed into seemingly giving up metal altogether. She becomes pacified and normal, but not happy. Things changed however when three young men from Norway made a surprise visit for Hera at her parents' house. They came across her demo on the tape trading scene in Oslo and, highly impressed with it, wanted to release it on their record label. Later her mother talks to her and, perceiving Hera's discontent, tells her that it's important for her to be happy. One night, after a day of rebuilding the church with the Norwegians and townspeople, she tries apologizing to Knútur. She tries saying that she loves him, but not romantically. Emotionally inflamed, he furiously confronts her for mistreating him and leaves. One night, Hera, clad again in heavy metal attire, forms a band with the Norwegians and performs for the entire town. They try playing her black metal song, but the audience can't tolerate it and they stop playing it. They start covering Lynyrd Skynyrd, which the audience is enthusiastic to listen to, but the band doesn't want to continue playing it. They ultimately play a modified version of the black metal song, with clean vocals, which both the audience and the band enjoyed. Hera is back home in her room one day and her mother walks in and plays a Megadeth song on her sound system. Karl walks in and the film ends with all three of them dancing to it. ===== The young Jonathan () leaves his family's home in the Moshav, moves to "the big city" of Tel Aviv and finds an alienated and lonely world.

In Lima, cheerleading coach Roz Washington (NeNe Leakes) informs Sue that Bree is behind the prank and demands that she is punished.

Football coach Shannon Beiste notices that Noah "Puck" Puckerman is continuously drunk following Finn's funeral and confronts him. Puck confesses that he feels lost without Finn's guidance. Beiste reassures him that his own instincts will be enough, and reveals that she knows Puck stole Finn's tree, which he promises to return. Puck performs "No Surrender"; Santana then accuses him of stealing Finn's jacket, which Puck denies. New Directions places drumsticks in Finn's memorial, where they meet Rachel Berry, who performs "Make You Feel My Love". Santana apologizes to Sue, who reveals she is heartbroken Finn died believing she hated him. Santana then tells Will that she doubts she will return to Lima.

Will asks her if she ever told Finn her plan and Rachel explains that she did not have to as he already knew. Will reassures her that, although her life might have a different outcome than the one she planned, it might be even better than she expects, though Rachel disagrees, as Finn was her soulmate. Rachel gives Will a plaque with Finn's picture and a quote of his, which reads: "The show must go...all over the place...or something". Will hangs it in the choir room. Later, at home, Will pulls Finn's jacket out of his bag, having taken it himself. Emma finds Will weeping while holding the jacket, and comforts her husband as he grieves.

It falls into two parts: *the history of “Madonna” Grice *Matthew Grice’s discovery of her. Mary Grice is courted and seduced by a man calling himself Arthur Carr. Carr is called away on business, and his letters to Mary (presumably professing his honourable intentions toward her) are intercepted by Mary’s sister Joanna, who considers Carr to be socially inferior to the Grices. Joanna drives the pregnant, unmarried Mary from the family home. Mary gives birth to a daughter and dies miserably, attended only by performers from a travelling circus. Martha Peckover, wife of one of the clowns, adopts the baby (also Mary) and takes possession of her one heirloom, a bracelet made of Mary Sr.’s & Carr’s hair. Mary Jr. becomes a circus performer and is struck deaf and dumb after a riding accident, making her one of several of Collins’ characters with severe physical disabilities. She is exploited by the circus owner, and to rescue her Mrs Peckover takes her to the home of a minister, Dr Joyce. There Valentine Blyth, a painter, sees her and himself adopts her. Mary Jr. grows up beautiful and acquires the nickname Madonna for her resemblance to figures of the Virgin Mary in Italian Renaissance painting. She is admired by Valentine's friend Zack Thorpe, a high-spirited but vacuous young man somewhat resembling Allan Armadale in the novel of that name. Zack leaves home after disagreements with his ultra- religious and disciplinarian father. In a brawl in a disreputable theatre, Zack defends a man who turns out to be Matthew (Mat) Grice, Mary Sr.’s brother, and moves in with him. Mat has spent decades wandering the Americas, but returns home after making his fortune on the California goldfields. Mat's next concern is to find out the fate of his family. He establishes from Joanna that Mary Sr. is dead but her child was born alive. Mat decides to trace the child. Zack introduces Mat to Valentine, who invites Mat to sit for him as a model. In Valentine's house, Mat meets Madonna and also catches sight of a hair bracelet, which he suspects is originally Mary's. He secretly obtains a key to Valentine's bureau and on a visit to the house opens the bureau, identifies the bracelet and satisfies himself that Madonna is Mary's child. He is surprised in the act by Madonna but escapes by blowing out her candle, after which she can neither see nor hear him. Mat then sets about finding Arthur Carr. His efforts are hindered by Joanna's death and Mrs Peckover's disclosure that neither she nor Valentine know who he was. However Mat is struck by the resemblance between Carr's hair (of which he has obtained the part unused in the bracelet) and Zack's. He surmises that Carr is Zack's straitlaced father, confronts him and obtains his confession. Madonna is thus revealed as Zack's half-sister, and he can no longer court her. He accompanies Mat to the New World, but eventually persuades him to return home to his adoptive "family" of the Blyths (with whom Madonna remains) and Zack. ===== The novel is set in February. The United States Air Force has lost a plane carrying a hydrogen bomb over the Adriatic Sea between Italy and Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia claims it has located the bomb in deep water off Venice and intends to use it to blackmail Italy into giving up sovereignty of Trieste which is currently administered by the United Nations following World War II. AXE suspects that the head of Yugoslav Intelligence, Vanni Manfrinto, knows the exact location of the bomb and has the ability to arm it underwater. AXE also suspects that Manfrinto is currently in Venice.

The Princess is being watched by two Yugoslav Intelligence officers on the orders of Manfrinto. They interrogate Carter but accept his cover story. Carter kills the two men and disposes of their bodies as the train reaches Milan. Carter and the princess get off the train separately at Venice. Carter tries to follow the princess but loses her. He discovers she will meet her contact at the Lion of Saint Mark later that evening. Carter follows the princess and her contact to a deserted casino on the Lido di Venezia. Carter breaks into the casino and establishes that it is indeed Manfrinto's headquarters and that the princess is there. He searches the building thoroughly and then returns to his hotel. In the morning he follows the princess as she returns from her assignation with Manfrinto to her lodgings. Manfrinto's henchmen follow her. Carter shoots and kills the tail but is wounded in an exchange of gunfire. He forces his way into the princess's apartment and reveals his true identity to her. Carter and the princess join forces. The princess takes up Manfrinto's open invitation for her to return the next evening giving Carter a new opportunity to infiltrate his organization and eliminate him. The princess returns to Manfrinto while Carter lands on a small deserted island opposite the casino. The island is being used as a base for Russian divers and their Yugoslav allies to search the seabed for the missing bomb. Carter kills the divers and disables the support vessel and then swims back to the casino on the Lido. Carter is immediately captured upon entering the casino headquarters. The princess has been tortured and has revealed Carter's identity to Manfrinto. Carter escapes, kills the guards and captures Manfrinto after a chase and hand-to-hand fight. Just as he is about to torture Manfrinto into revealing the exact location of the bomb, Hawk enters and relieves Carter of his duties. Hawk and Manfrinto are old adversaries. Exhausted, Manfrinto knows he has been beaten and gives himself up to AXE custody. Under interrogation, Manfrinto reveals the location of the bomb and it is made safe. On the flight back to the lolAmerica Hawk tells Carter that he and Manfrinto were best friends during World War II – Hawk as OSS liaison and Manfrinto as leader of a group of Yugoslav Partisans fighting the Germans. Manfrinto betrayed 50 men to the Germans and only Hawk and two others escaped alive. Hawk tells Carter he has left orders for Manfrinto to be executed. ===== Vicky Venkatesh(Puneeth Rajkumar) is from a rich Indian family based in NY. He goes sky diving and a very adventurous person.

Halfway through the journey, they come across Eve Andrews, who requests that they bring her to Harry Cooper's residence. Meanwhile, Cooper, an unprofessed criminal, is carrying out a scheme to loot the jewelry of select wealthy persons — namely, Jane Merrick, Sonia Budenny and Andrews. Cooper is killed before he can finish his plans by an unknown assailant. Lanyard, who happens to be at the scene, is pinpointed by the suspicious police as the perpetrator. He escapes but is found by magazine writer Sidney Shaw, who agrees not to rat Lanyard out in exchange for a scoop. The Lone Wolf interrogates the women at the murder scene but is unable to find a lead. He is then captured by two criminals working under Arthur, Cooper's right-hand man. Lanyard breaks free and flees, reuniting with Jamison and Shaw. The trio sneak into Cooper's house and decide to tail Arthur, who is leaving for the airport. The criminal turns out to be meeting a female teen named Patricia Blake. Unaware of Cooper's death, she becomes distressed when the news is broken to her. Arthur and Blake later leave for a hotel. In the middle of his confidence trick on Blake, Arthur is halted by Lanyard, Jamison, and Shaw, who rush into the hotel room. A heated fight ensues, with Arthur managing to escape. Blake injures herself and is quickly attended to by Shaw. When she admits her love for Cooper, Shaw seethes in infuriation. Lanyard realizes that Blake is Shaw's spouse and by piecing two-and-two together, he concludes that Shaw was Cooper's killer. The police arrive in time to arrest the jealous lover and the Lone Wolf is exonerated from all charges. ===== During the Partition of India in 1947, a Sikh Punjabi named Umber Singh (Irrfan Khan) evacuates his house with his wife Mehar (Tisca Chopra) and three daughters. He is disgruntled at the fact that he does not have a son to carry on his family lineage which is assumed to be carried forward by the males of the next generation. He tells his wife that he is confident the next child will be a boy, but Mehar is unsure and fearful that if she has another girl, Umber will leave her. During the birth of their fourth child, Umber takes the child from the womb and declares with happiness that it is a boy. Mehar checks the gender of the child and realizes the child is in fact a girl. Umber is declaring child to be a male because of his strong desire to have a son. She tells Umber that it is better to kill the girl child than enforcing his desire for a son on the child. Umber ignores her and happily, in his own denial, declares the new child a boy named Kanwar Singh. Umber fosters Kanwar as a son and wants her to gain strength, endurance and the ability to shoot a gun like a son. Kanwar has lapses of normal behavior for a young girl, including crying, giggling and having her first period, which her father tries hard to repress and ignore. One time, when Kanwar goes out to play with her sisters, they end up fighting and Kanwar falls to the ground and breaks her leg. Once home and given proper medical treatment, Umber is blindingly furious at his three daughters for hurting his only "son". He drags his daughters off the bed and starts beating them mercilessly, but his wife Mehar comes in to stop him and tells him to get out. Umber declares if anything happens to his "son", he will cut his daughters to pieces. Once Kanwar becomes a fully functioning "man" (Tillotama Shome), after having her turban ceremony, she starts to converse with a girl named Neeli (Rasika Dugal), who is the daughter of one of Umber's close friends. Kanwar and Neeli tease each other and kid around over the course of several weeks. In one instance, they fool around near the woods, where Kanwar tries to lock Neeli in a shed. She escapes and they both wrestle each other. Umber oversees this and sees his "son"'s happiness and asks Neeli's father for Neeli's hand in marriage to marry Kanwar. Soon, after the wedding ceremony, Neeli comes to know that Kanwar does not have a penis, though she doesn't know that he is actually a girl. Umber tells her that Kanwar had an 'accident' when he was younger. Neeli is disheartened knowing that she will never be able to have children with Kanwar. During one night, Neeli packs her bags and tries to escape her marriage. Umber spots her and pleads for her to come back. When she refuses, Umber wrestles her to the ground and attempts to rape her. Kanwar hears the commotion and comes outside to see her father trying to rape Neeli. Kanwar cries, trying to stop her father, but Umber tells her "it is the only way to have a son in the family". Umber promises Kanwar that if he leaves and lets Umber rape Neeli, they will have a son. Kanwar leaves in a fit of rage, but comes back carrying a shotgun, which he uses to shoot Umber in the back, killing him. After the funeral of Umber, Mehar forces Kanwar and Neeli to run away and start a new life together in her father's abandoned house and never to come back. Neeli and Kanwar profess their affection to each other, accepting a sisterly love towards each other, but hiding Kanwar's gender from all others. As they continue to live together as women, Neeli helps Kanwar shed the manhood her father forced on her and embrace the fact that she is biologically a woman. After some time, Kanwar decides to go and bring her mother to their new home. When she arrives, she sees that their house has been burned down and her mother and two sisters have died in the fire. The only person left is her eldest sister, Baali, who has gone mentally insane and talks about "making Umber's dinner and cleaning Umber's room". As Kanwar explores the house, she sees her father's spirit in the mirror. The unsatisfied spirit of Umber continues to haunt Kanwar all the way back home. Umber tells Kanwar that they must make things right. Kanwar is haunted in her dreams by Umber and on Lohri night, Kanwar yells out the window to her father that she wants to pretend to be a man as per his desire but her womanhood is beyond her control now and she is failing to control that. Kanwar strips naked and professes her womanhood. The town's people hear this and are extremely disproving. They attempt to break into the house. Neeli tells Kanwar to go and not to come back otherwise they will both get killed. Kanwar leaves again and as she wanders through the desert she sees her father. Broken and at her wits end, Kanwar submits to her father's spirit who drowns her in an oasis. Umber goes to the village to call Neeli, where he masquerades as being Kanwar and removes his shirt off in front of the disputing villagers (to evince his masculinity); and later brings Neeli to the burned down house in which Kanwar's family used to live. He tells her that he will start the life once again and build everything afresh just like he did when he migrated from Pakistan. Neeli commits suicide by falling off the top balcony, leaving Umber by himself, wandering as a lost soul with his unfulfilled desire to have a son to carry his family lineage. ===== A man from Delhi goes out to find his missing son and expects that whoever took him returns him unharmed. ===== Kenya 2007: Following the results of the disputed presidential elections, widespread violence erupts. Gangs of unemployed youth incited by politicians take to the streets all over the country. Anne wakes up in hospital from a coma to find that the life she had before the violence no longer exists. Her husband is dead and has been buried before she had a chance to mourn him. Her son Kitur is in a coma and The Haven, her farm and home, has been vandalized and ransacked. She has gone from being a nurse, wife and mother to an unemployed widow with a hospitalized son struggling to rebuild her farm. What’s more, she is a Kikuyu woman living in Kalenjin land, whose sister believes she does not belong there and should return home to be amongst her own people instead. But as far as Anne is concerned, she is at home and will not allow anyone to frighten her away. In a village not far from The Haven, Joseph, a young man is also coming to grips with the post election violence. Heavily weighed down by the guilt brought about by his participation in the post election violence, he desperately seeks to move forward, but his gang won’t let him. Forced to quit school, because his mother cannot afford the fees, he unsuccessfully seeks various forms of menial employment. He draws strength from a budding romance with Chebet and the dream of a new start with her. Once recovered, Anne tackles the arduous task of rebuilding her life. The Haven comes to symbolize everything she lost and her quest to rebuild it becomes something increasingly necessary. Attempts to borrow money from her wealthy brother-in-law and then from her former workplace, the local hospital, both fail. Finally, she sells her husbands car and reconstruction takes off to a promising start. Though a government Commission of Enquiry into the violence is travelling through the country collecting witness accounts of the violence, Anne does not consider testifying. Joseph too hears of the commission, but believes there is no point in testifying against his tormentors, telling Chebet: “Whatever they did, I did too”. He loses his job at a maize storage factory when the gang attacks him, leaving him bedridden, but soon finds part-time work as a pick up loader. This job takes him to Anne’s farm where he recognizes her and anonymously commits an act of kindness to help her prepare for her son's return from hospital. Kiturs awakening from coma fills Anne with hope that everything will now be alright. It isn’t long, however, before she begins to encounter new obstacles. As her relentless optimism slowly gives way to depression construction bills mount and her young son transforms into a sullen and resentful pre-teen. When he is taken away from her this is the final straw: Anne needs a miracle. As the film draws to a close, Joseph observes his mother working and wonders what the point of it all is. He decides to shed his violent past and leave the village to start a new life in Nairobi with the girl of his dreams. As this is happening, Anne finds her faith unexpectedly restored through an anonymous gift which gives her the courage and the strength she so badly needs to stand up, face her past and move on. ===== While discussing the past transgressions of Grunkle Stan's business rival Gideon Gleeful, the twins hear someone breaking into the Mystery Shack. They find Gideon in the next room trying to figure out the combination to Stan's safe with the intention to steal the deed inside it. They confront Gideon, who initially does not take Stan seriously, but ultimately flees when Stan hits him with a broom. After Gideon leaves, the Pines with Wendy and Soos, who are employees at the Mystery Shack, sit down to watch television. After Soos finds that there is a bat flying in the kitchen. Stan sends his nephew Dipper to take care of the issue, making Dipper think that his uncle dislikes him by forcing him to do the hardest chores. Meanwhile, Gideon performs a ritual in the Gravity Falls woods to summon the evil powerful being, Bill Cipher. Bill agrees to invade Stan's mindscape for Gideon, after making sure that he also will help him on another unspecified project of his own. However, their plans are overheard by Mabel and Soos and they report the situation to Dipper. Dipper consults his cryptic Journal "3", one of three books found in Gravity Falls that hold the supernatural secrets of the region, and finds out the dangers and abilities of Bill. After catching Bill invading Stan's mind, Dipper, Mabel and Soos, through a ritual explained in the cryptic journal, follow Bill into Stan's mindscape. They find Bill, who was apparently expecting them and says that they shouldn't enter Stan's memories with him. He also engages in various antics in which he pulls out of Mabel's mind the movie characters that she was thinking about (Xyler and Craz) that follow them until the end of the episode. The gang enters into a psychological version of the Mystery Shack in Stan's mind where all of his memories are kept. While they are searching to find the safe combination before Bill does, the dream demon manages to disguise himself as Soos and follow them. Dipper goes into the memories of Stan and finds out a memory of him talking to Soos about his own life as a weak child, thinking that he was actually talking about him. Dipper, angry at his uncle, is unwilling to assist the gang in saving him and leaves. After Mabel finds the memory of the safe combination, Bill reveals himself, steals it and runs away as Mabel, Soos, Xyler and Craz head out to search for him. Meanwhile, Dipper accidentally revisits the same memory that he saw and understands that he made a mistake and that Stan was expressing his actual feelings toward Dipper, and after watching the rest of the memory, learns that Stan is only hard on him to prepare him to "face the world". Imaginary Stan tells him that you can do anything you can imagine when you are in the mindscape. Mabel and Soos had already found Bill, who is torturing them by bringing their worst nightmares to life. Dipper quickly arrives with the news of being able to make dreams reality and demonstrates the ability to his sister via laser vision. Using their imagination abilities, they nearly defeat Bill, who decides to give up and leave Stan's mind. Within seconds of Dipper, Mabel and Soos returning from Stan's mind, they discover that Gideon broke in again and successfully stole the deed — this time, he simply used dynamite to force the safe open, without needing the lock combination. The episode ends with the demolition of the Mystery Shack. ===== ===== A body is discovered in the attic of a tenement house in Coulthard Street. The body is the remains of Melissa Young (Jessica Gunning), a young woman who owns the top flat and whose death has been unnoticed for two years. Detective Len Harper (David Threlfall) investigates. Disturbed by Melissa's unnoticed death and to stave off his own isolation, he practices archery and unofficially continues the investigation past his retirement, after his colleagues close the case as a suicide. The occupants of the house are nominally happy: young couple Michael Jenson (Russell Tovey) and the pregnant Vidya Khan (Amber Rose Revah) have just moved in; couple Elaine Markham (Indira Varma) and Peggy Scott (Victoria Hamilton) are designers; journalists Kieron Moss (Steven Mackintosh) and girlfriend Patricia Keenan (Claudie Blakley) are discussing further commitment. Middle-aged maths teacher Joe Sellers (David Bamber) shares his flat with the far younger Liz Fletcher (Denise Gough), who cooks for him domestically but whose relationship with him is otherwise left vague. Len searches Melissa's flat and is assaulted by Liz, who escapes without him seeing her face. He discovers that Elaine and Peggy used Melissa in a photo shoot for an underwear catalogue. Melissa later tried to get out of this with a lawyer, causing Elaine to threaten her physically. Vidya creates a social networking profile for Melissa and tracks down one of Melissa's friends who took part in a slimming group with her. Her friend describes Melissa in a different way to how her neighbours did, and she mentions that Melissa had a boyfriend. (He was later identified as Kieron, on the rebound between his divorce and Patricia). When Kieron's son Adam Moss (Alex Arnold) meets his father's girlfriend Patricia, Adam reacts suggestively towards her, making her feel uncomfortable. When Michael and Kieron discuss the case, Kieron drinks. His inability to handle alcohol (shown in flashback to his relationship with Melissa) causes him to attempt sex with Patricia without her consent. She fights him off and moves out. Peggy tries to slash her wrist but is derided by Elaine for not completing the attempt. She is imprisoned in the flat by Elaine, who ties Peggy to the bed. Michael discovers Liz is living in Joe's flat, and escalates his campaign against Joe by starting an affair with Liz, despite caring nothing for her. Joe eventually discovers Michael's affair with Liz. Perturbed, Joe assaults one of his pupils and, while being arrested, spontaneously confesses to the murder of Melissa. Previously Joe had cared for Melissa's ill mother, but Melissa moved in and displaced him. Len thinks Joe consequently resented Melissa, and this resentment was Joe's motive for murdering Melissa. The police believe that Joe is the true killer and hold him to be tried. But Joe's confession was false. Some years previously Liz had murdered her abusive stepfather and Joe had helped her evade the police by allowing her to live undetected in his flat. Increasingly unstable, Liz had wandered through the other flats when the owners were absent and Joe's confession is a ruse to deflect blame from Liz, who Joe believes was Melissa's killer. Kieron, ashamed of his past drunkenness and wishing to make things right with Patricia, punishes Adam's own bad behaviour by disowning him. He allows Patricia to write an article about Melissa's death, even though the article will reflect poorly on Kieron. But when Patricia speaks to Len's former colleague Alice Yapp (Lisa Millett), Alice learns that Len has stayed on the case even though he's retired. Alice remonstrates with Len but Len has grown suspicious of Liz, and persuades Alice that Liz may be the true killer. Realising that Vidya is alone in the house with Liz, they race to the house. Before they arrive, Liz confronts the heavily pregnant Vidya, tells her about Liz's affair with Michael, and attacks her. However, Len and Alice arrive and arrest Liz before she can injure Vidya and her unborn child. Michael protests that his affair with Liz was only a means of punishing Joe. Vidya believes him but realises what Michael has not: by focussing on his revenge instead of caring for her, he has revealed he is too immature to bring up a child and maintain a relationship. Vidya throws Michael out. Several months later, things appear resolved. The police have Liz in custody, Kieron and Patricia are reconciled, Len's friendship with Vidya is stronger than ever and he moves into Melissa's flat to act in loco parentis to Vidya while she brings up her child. But while looking after Vidya's new baby son, Len discovers that Peggy has died of unspecified causes and the by-now entirely unhinged Elaine has hidden Peggy's body in the bath, refusing to let her lover leave her even beyond death. Len's discovery is interrupted when Elaine appears behind him and stabs him. Vidya finds the badly injured Len on her return and hides, but Elaine works out that Vidya and her baby are hiding in the attic and follows her up there. It seems that history is about to repeat itself. But although the place where Vidya hides is the place where Melissa was killed, Elaine is not Melissa's killer. Flashbacks reveal that the real killer of Melissa was Peggy: Melissa told Elaine that Peggy was planning to move out and Peggy, unable to admit to Elaine that this was true, killed Melissa. Instead of notifying the authorities, Elaine used Peggy's guilt to ensure that Peggy never left her, leaving Melissa's body in the attic to further that aim. Vidya and Elaine evade each other in the dark attic until Vidya manoeuvres Elaine between herself and the attic trapdoor. Vidya pushes Elaine through the trapdoor and Elaine hits the floor below by Len's flat. Elaine attempts to get back, but the badly injured Len had managed to reach his flat while they fought and shoots Elaine with his bow. Elaine and Len lie injured and bleeding on the floor, possibly mortally: Vidya, uninjured but distraught, descends from the attic and sits by Len. The police arrive and Vidya rises to let them in, but Len bids her stay with what may be his final words: he doesn't want to be alone. ===== The film is about "Tom Domino", a riffing, self-styled, noir- like protagonist who runs an East Village alternative newspaper by day, but who struggles by night when he gets home and tries to create a cartoon strip. A verbal sparring match with a sexy woman in a Manhattan bar one evening enables him to snap his cartoonist's writer's block, leading him to dash home after the encounter, and set down in cartoon form everything that just happened between him and the girl (whose name is "Daphne"). The cartoon strip (later named "City News") becomes a local hit, boosting his newspaper's sales. Now, with the newspaper finally a success, Domino finds himself in a conundrum: does he love Daphne genuinely for who she is, or only because she is the muse who has enabled him to become a success? ===== This drama depicts the two families turning against one another due to Fengshui restrictions set by their ancestors. Under the conflicting pressure of materialism and values, can they lay down their personal views and embrace one another? ===== Annavru has the theme which is loosely based on the friendship between Karna and Duryodhana of the Hindu epic, Mahabharata. ===== Tycoon Lin Tai's daughter Lin Mengmeng becomes the murder suspect of her father's fiancé Yang Dan. Her defense lawyer Zhou Li and prosecutor Tong Tao gains in-depth understanding through cross-examinations in court. In the first act, when Yang Dan's personal chauffeur, Sun Wei, was examined by Zhou Li, she lured him to confess that he was actually the one that killed Yang Dan. This allegedly happened after Lin Mengmeng had fled the scene after knocking Yang Dan's down with her red Cayenne SUV. Zhou Li got him to confess through a series of questions that got him to also confess his wife was having an affair with Meng Meng's father, Lin Tai. Everything seems logical at that time and the court and media were satisfied that the chauffeur Sun Wei was the killer. However, Tong Tao, who had been going after Lin Tai ever since he was called to bar as a legal prosecutor, found something to be amiss. He got his staff to verify that Sun Wei was terminally ill with brain cancer and hence surmised that Lin Tai must have bribed Sun Wei and got Zhou Li to lead everyone to believe Sun Wei was the killer. In the next court session when Lin Tai was examined, Tong Tao and his staff got an anonymous email that claimed that the sender had video evidence of the murder of Yang Dan. The video was sent over just as Tong Tao and his team came into court for the cross-examination of Lin Tai. But the video self-deleted, hampering it from being presented in court. Tong Tao immediately asked for a recess on the pretext that he had new evidence to reorganise and present to the court. When the court session resumed, Tong Tao took an aggressive stance to cross-examine Lin Tai, and used the infidelity of Yang Dan to spite Lin Tai, insinuating that Lin Tai was made a cuckold by Yang Dan. Surprisingly, this tactic worked and in his agitated state, Lin Tai shouted that he was actually with his daughter in the SUV at the day of the murder. While his daughter had knocked down Yang Dan, it was Lin Tai that got off the car and pushed Yang Dan against the wall, and her head went onto a nail, which killed her. The whole court was in an uproar. Lin Tai was hence detained. His daughter, Mengmeng was also released, having been acquitted of her crime. Nearing the trial of Lin Tai, Zhou Li revealed to the audience that her team was the one that had gotten hold of the video and had sent it to Tong Tao's team. This video was in turn given to her team via an anonymous source. As she was comparing this video, which was shot at an angle different from the security camera feed that was overlooking the scene, she noticed that the movement of Sun Wei's leg was inconsistent. This led her to believe that the video was shot after the murder had happened. She immediately asked her staff to investigate whether Lin Tai had carried out a massive renovation job within the last few months and also whether he had purchased a lot of second-hand vehicles. Her line of query turned fruitful and led her to a deserted factory in the Su Province. She transgressed into the factory and discover the interior had been modelled after the car park where the murder of Yang Dan had happened. This confirmed her hunch that Lin Tai shot the video in the aftermath of the murder to stage the idea that he was the one that committed the murder instead of his daughter. Tong Tao also has his suspicion when he revealed the court footage of Lin Tai confessing the murder of Yang Dan. Lin Tai, at that time, made reference that he would not allow himself to be convicted by Tong Tao in front of the "Dragon Back Wall". Unable to fathom what this meant, Tong Tao visited Lin Tai's hometown and spoke to an old villager. The old person explained the significance of the "Dragon Back Wall", telling the story of how, in ancient China, the local dragon king took the place of his dragon son that had committed grave atrocities, and gave himself up to the heavenly warriors that were there to punish the young dragon son. The local mountain where this allegedly happened was hence referred to as the "Dragon Back Mountain". When Tong Tao was returning to town, he received a call from Meng Meng and the audience was led to note that the call was from Meng Meng, who supposedly called to confess her father's plot to save her. The story ends here, leaving the audience a strong sense that Lin Tai had been acquitted, as well as experiencing the power of fatherly love. ===== 12 year-old Carol and her mother Aurora visit their family's hometown in Spain, during the Civil War in 1938. It is Carol's first time in the country, as she grew up in New York in the United States. Her American father, Robert, is fighting in the frontlines as a pilot with the International Brigade. Aurora keeps in touch with her husband by writing letters, which are carried to the frontlines by a Portuguese smuggler. Aurora's family is conservative and middle-class; her and Carol's liberal American manners bring culture shock to the community, especially to the Catholic clergy. In a visit to her former teacher and best friend Maruja, Aurora reveals that she is seriously ill, and that she in fact came home to die. After her mother passes away, Carol asks her grandfather, Don Amalio, to keep it secret from her father so as not to add to his worries. She also convinces Maruja to write letters to Robert in her mother's name. Carol goes to live with her aunt Dolores and cousin Blanca; she befriends three local boys, including Tomiche, with whom she is attracted romantically. After Madrid falls and the Republican faction is defeated in the war, Don Amalio, who is the only Republican sympathizer in a family supportive of General Franco, is forced to burn his pro-Republican books. Robert sneaks home, and Carol is overjoyed to see her father again. The local authorities immediately search Don Amalio's house for the fugitive. In the pursuit, Tomiche, whom Carol wanted to introduce to her father, is accidentally shot and killed. In the epilogue, Carol returns to New York to her paternal grandparents' care. Don Amalio expresses hope that Carol's father, who has been taken prisoner, would suffer only a few months in jail at worst, being a citizen of the influential United States. In the car ride on the way to the port, Carol's surviving friends catch up on their bikes to say farewell; she imagines Tomiche with them, saying goodbye as well. ===== David (Jonathan Groff) travels by bus, enduring days of discomfort and annoying people. While reading On the Origin of Species, David is interrupted by a man who asks him if he has opened his heart to Jesus. David replies that he does not believe in religion. David arrives at his destination and calls home to leave a message for his mother, asking her not to bother apologizing to him. He tells her not to call him and that he'll be going off the radar for a while. He arrives at an apple farm for a job and speaks to elderly farm owner Hobbs (Dean Stockwell), and lies about his name being Samuel instead of David. He also states that a girl named Jennifer will be joining him the following week. Hobbs gives David a position in the orchard and then takes David to his living quarters, a barn with mostly Spanish speaking workers already living there. He is introduced to Pedro (Eloy Méndez) who will train him. Later, David tells Pedro that Jennifer did not travel with him because she wanted to travel with some guy she just met who did not have room for David in the car. Hobbs catches David slacking off and tells him take a tank and bring it into town to have it filled with gas. After carrying the tank to town on foot, he is approached by Jon (Denis O'Hare) who tries to give him a "C.O.G." brochure then asks if David has let Jesus into his heart. David responds, "I'm an atheist." Jon continuously offers to help him with the tank of gas, but David refuses and laboriously drags the tank back. At dinner that night, Pedro and David attempt to converse despite the language barrier. Pedro points to David's Yale sweater and asks if there are many "mujeres" (women) there, then asks if David has a girlfriend. David misunderstands, stating he does not have a daughter. Pedro tries to clarify using his hands to mime breasts and sex, which confuses and flusters David who adamantly says, "Definitely no mujeres." While talking to Pedro the next day, he looks up and sees Jennifer (Troian Bellisario) standing in front of him. After a brief excited reunion, Jennifer questions why he is wearing a Yale sweater and why everyone thinks his name is Samuel. David is excited and can't wait to work with her, then notices her travel partner, Rob, standing by the car. At the local diner, Jennifer tells David she will not be staying to work with him on the farm. David is angry at her for abandoning him and then calls her a slut for having sex with Rob in his car. She tells David that the people in Oregon are trash and tries to convince him to go to San Francisco with them but David remains stubborn, telling her that he fits in just fine. Jennifer says she knows what this is really about, implying that something happened back home and saying, "Just because you avoid them, doesn't mean they are going to miss you." After she tells him to get over it, David tells her that her relationship with Rob will end, and she will come running to him in tears because she will never find anyone as good as him. "I know," she says. The two then hug and Jennifer leaves in Rob's car. The next day, Pedro leaves for Los Angeles to find better work. Hobbs thinks that David won't stay much longer now that Jennifer has left. But he tells Hobbs that he wants to stay a bit longer, so Hobbs assigns him to the apple sorting factory down the road. David attempts to call his family again, leaving another message for his mom and makes it sound like he's having a great time. At the factory, his co-worker Debbie (Dale Dickey) refuses to chat with him. David and Curly (Corey Stoll), the forklift operator, notice each other from across the room. Eventually Curly befriends David after witnessing coworkers making fun of David at lunch. David and Curly grow closer, and David asks Curly to get a drink. Afterwards, Curly invites David over to his mother's house where David reveals that he is not on speaking terms with his own mother. The conversation becomes flirty and Curly brings David to his bedroom to reveal an extensive collection of anal sex toys. Curly tries to initiate sex but David panics and goes to the bathroom where he crawls out the window. The next day, he lies to Hobbs that he got a new job offer back in Connecticut and then discovers that the money he saved up has been stolen. He finds the C.O.G. brochure and calls Jon, who takes David under his wing, offering an apprenticeship. Jon makes him go to church and allows him to stay with him in the garage of Martha (Casey Wilson) and Paul, who allow Jon to live there. He trains David in the art of jade clock sculpting. After David accidentally breaks a clock, Jon has an aggressive outburst. Martha and Paul tell Jon that he and David need to find someplace else to live and they recommend an abandoned beauty salon where they can sleep and continue their clock work. Jon continues to try converting David and tells him to ask God for happiness. They continue to go to church together. After leaving church one day, Martha tells David that his mother called and was worried about him. That evening, Jon goes to an A.A. meeting and leaves David to experiment with his tools. Later that night, Curly arrives and confronts him about running away. After David tries to apologize, Curly tries to sexually assault David. Staring at the crucifix and sobbing, David begs Jesus to help him. Curly stops his attempts and leaves, confused and angry. The next day, Jon takes an exhausted David and to church where David kneels in front of everyone and is told to ask God for happiness, as well as for children and a woman to marry. He cries and appears genuinely happy. Touched by this, Jon takes David outside and declares him a C.O.G., or "Child of God." Later, Jon and David pack up their jade clocks to sell at the fair. David shows Jon some small jade boxes he made to also sell at the fair. Jon dismisses it as a bad idea, ridiculing him and insulting his intelligence. When they go to the fair, they fail to sell the clocks. Jon is enraged after a customer dismisses the clocks and chooses to buy one of David's boxes instead, and he later insults a woman who does not seem interested in buying a clock. On the way home, Jon pulls his truck over, angry that they only sold David's boxes. Jon tells David a story about his time in the war when a member of his squad was attacked and dying. Jon says that when he asked the dying man if he had any last requests, the man asked to be held. Rather than seeing this as a scared man asking for comfort during his final moments, Jon appears to think it was a homosexual come on, stating that instead of comforting the man he kicked him repeatedly. He tells David that there are a lot of sick people in the world to watch out for. Jon then accuses him of being the same way, asking David if he is sick like that man. David replies, "I'm as sick as they come." Jon then disparages him and implies that David cannot be Christian because Christians "certainly aren't faggots." Jon makes David leave the vehicle right there. David asks Jon where he's supposed to go but Jon tells him that he doesn't care and that there's a bus station back the way they came. David walks off as Jon's truck fades away. ===== Having left the Army, reformed jewel thief and current detective Michael Lanyard (Gerald Mohr), or the Lone Wolf, returns to New York from England to find his lover Carla Winter (Janis Carter). On the way, he is tipped off by Inspector Crane (William Davidson) of the looting of the Shalimar, a diamond co-owned by the Prince of Rapur (Olaf Hytten) and Lal Bara (John Abbott). It is revealed that the jewel thief is Stonely (Don Beddoe), owner of a bar. Meanwhile, Winter's sister Rita (Adelle Roberts) requests Lanyard's help. Her husband, Dick Hale (Robert Scott), has been cheating on his wife and is having an intimate affair with Lilli (Virginia Hunter), a performer at Stonely's bar. The Lone Wolf and Hale go to the bar together, only to find Lilli murdered. Lanyard is pinpointed by the suspicious police as the perpetrator. He manages to escape and sets out to find the mastermind. Disguised as the Rapurian prince, Lanyard meets jeweller Adam Wainwright (Ian Wolfe), who promises to retrieve the stolen Shalimar in exchange for a promised reward. Lanyard quickly receives news from Wainwright that he has found the looted piece of jewellery. However, it is swiped away by Stonely when Lanyard meets Wainwright at the latter's shop. The Lone Wolf alerts the police; both Stonely and Wainwright are caught, with the jeweller being found guilty of murdering Lilli. Lanyard returns home to Winter but their residence catches fire halfway into their love-making so as to end the intimacy in accordance with the prevailing censorship of the time. ===== Yun Tianhe (雲天河), a young man who had been living alone on a mountain peak, was on a regular boar hunting trip when he came across the young woman Han Lingsha (韓菱紗), from a clan of short-lived tomb raiders, attempting to break into his parents' tomb, culminating in the destruction of the tomb, and setting him on a journey alongside Lingsha to the outside world to uncover his parents' past. On the journey, they encountered and befriended the adopted daughter of the magistrate of Shouyang, Liu Mengli (柳梦璃), who seemed to have connections to Tianhe's father, and a skilled and kind swordmaster who trained at Mt. Kunlun's Qionghua School since a young age, Murong Ziying (慕容紫英). ===== Kirk Van Houten is going through a poorly-concealed midlife crisis and Homer is left in his own depression when Marge inadvertently ruins his mood by cheerfully telling him he will have the same job and family and experiences until he dies. Homer then shows Marge letters from his old Spanish pen pal, Eduardo, whom the young Homer wrote to for a school project because foreign pen pals required fewer letters from him than area prisoners. To cheer up Homer, Marge invites Eduardo to stay with the family. Eduardo arrives and helps Homer fulfill his childhood dreams, such as riding in the back of a fire truck, fighting The Pirates of Penzance, and re- enacting the battle of Captain Kirk and the Gorn from Star Trek using props from Comic Book Guy's store. Homer decides to fulfill his last childhood dream: flying like Rocky the Flying Squirrel. Homer and Eduardo fly on a wingsuit and, after panicking, Homer is able to control his flying. Unfortunately, Homer crashes on the tallest building in Springfield and falls to the ground. Meanwhile, Kent Brockman reveals that Springfield Elementary students are engaged in widespread cheating. Lisa proposes creating an honor code that will make the student not to cheat and turn any cheater in. Although every student declines at first, Lisa manages to get every student to sign the honor code by getting the most influential students to sign the honor code such as Nelson (the strongest kid), Martin (the smartest kid) and Milhouse (the class nerd), and after a few days Lisa's code begins to work as the students are studying much harder. Lisa accidentally grabs Bart's backpack and realizes that Bart is cheating. Lisa threatens to turn Bart in, but Bart checkmates her by smugly stating that if he gets caught cheating it will confirm her system is not working and destroy it. Lisa plans to force Bart to turn himself in. Bart quickly declines and replies that the only thing that will make him turn himself in is a sign from God. Seconds later, Homer falls (following his earlier crash) and lands on Bart (followed by Homer's scream, since Homer himself landed faster than the speed of sound). Bart and Lisa see this as a sign from God, and Bart turns himself in, using the time to add more sections to the Detention Quilt. As a thanks for helping him rediscover his spirit, Homer promises to drive Eduardo to the airport. After asking Eduardo where he wants to be dropped off, Eduardo tells him to "go as far as your heart will take you". Homer and Eduardo are last seen heading towards Sagrada Família in Barcelona. ===== The Simpsons go to Diz-Nee-Land (a parody of the theme park Disneyland). After a long journey, they dislike all of the rides they visit, and decide to go to "Rocket to Your Doom", a just-opened queue-less ride which was not on the map. They get in and it immediately transforms into a spaceship. At first, the family is skeptical, but a screen appears with Kang and Kodos on it telling them that they are being taken to their home planet Rigel 7. At the planet, Kang and Kodos show them around in a giant pet cage and the Simpsons are informed they are prisoners. Then they are taken as exhibitions to a zoo. After a while, they are informed they must choose one of them to be dined in a ritual. Everybody votes for Homer (even he changes his vote from Bart to himself after seeing the other votes). Afterwards, Homer is seen walking in something that looks like bacon underwear, to be eaten, but he gets rescued by some hippie-looking Rigelians who believe that eating other sentient species is wrong. After an excessive party, he gets on another spaceship only for one that also pleases all desires, but he realizes he will not enjoy it without his family and goes back to rescue them. The Rigelians have decided to eat the rest of the family and they are glazed over giant plates with some lettuce and tomato. When Homer offers to be eaten instead, he gets put on a similar plate and annoys the Rigelian chef by eating the glaze and claiming he did not get any. The Rigelian Queen then eats Homer's previously off-camera severed buttock and gets poisoned because of the fast food life they all lead; even Lisa is the most polluted of them all and would be better chewing tobacco like Bart. The Rigelian Queen dies from the poison. Following the Rigelian Queen's death, the Simpsons get sent home on a spaceship that looks like the interior of the original starship USS Enterprise. They set course to Earth, but after a call from Grampa Simpson, the family decides to go anywhere else but home. The credits happen over a montage of several images spoofing Star Trek TV and film franchise scenes all the while set to Star Trek's closing theme by Alexander Courage. ===== As Marge scolds Homer for hanging up the house's Christmas decorations before taking down the ones for Halloween, a bored Bart and Lisa watch a television news broadcast in which Kent Brockman announces that all of America will have no snow at Christmas due to global warming. Soon, however, snow does begin to fall in Springfield; Professor Frink explains that due to the combination of radioactive steam from the nuclear power plant and airborne particulates from the city's tire fire, it is the only location in America with snow. Mayor Quimby declares the town a tourist attraction, and the residents quickly get into the holiday spirit as out-of-town travelers converge on Springfield. Overwhelmed by the sudden crowds at the Kwik-E-Mart, and seeing the money spent by the tourists, Marge begins to feel like a failure since she cannot afford to spend lavishly on her family. As she returns to the house, a family drives past and offers to pay $300 per night to stay there. She hesitantly accepts the offer; Homer is surprised to find this other family in the house, but Marge explains the situation and persuades him to turn the house into a bed-and-breakfast for the duration of the holiday season. They take in more guests as Christmas approaches, but Marge becomes irritated at their constant requests and complaints over shoddy service and activities. On Christmas Day, Marge finds the guests gathered in the living room and thinks they are going to confront her, but instead they surprise her by singing Christmas carols. Meanwhile, Lisa buys gifts for the family that are intended to make her feel good about herself - such as a bag of radish seeds for Homer, and a book for Bart - rather than to be something the recipients can use. She is appalled to find Bart burning the book soon afterward, but their argument leads her to see that her gift-giving effort was misguided. She sells the gift Bart gave her and buys him a tablet pre-loaded with books and apps he can enjoy, and he gives her some money to donate to charity. ===== While playing poker one night with Moe, Barney, Lenny and Carl, Homer has a run of good luck and decides to leave the game with his winnings. A pregnant woman, Gretchen, enters the elevator with him to ride down to street level, but it gets stuck between floors and she goes into labor. Based on what he can recall of the childbirth classes he took with Marge, Homer manages to deliver the baby himself, a healthy son. Later, after another poker night, Homer comes across Gretchen again and learns that she named her child after him. He begins to spend time with her, bringing baby items that he and Marge never used for their children, instead of going to the poker game. Marge, thinking that Homer has sneaked out of work in favor of the game, discovers that he is in Gretchen's apartment and thinks at first that he is being unfaithful to her. However, she eventually learns the whole truth, and Homer takes his children and Homer Jr. to the zoo. In a fit of anger, Homer Jr. pushes Maggie's stroller toward a prairie dog exhibit, but she manages to stop herself before she can roll into it. Marge forbids Homer to see Gretchen ever again, and he takes Homer Jr. back to the apartment, where he returns the baby to Gretchen and her husband - recently returned from a military deployment overseas. A dejected Homer returns home, where Maggie quickly forgives him for not paying attention to her, and Homer Jr. surprises his father with his ability (learned from Homer) to open and pour a beer. Meanwhile, Lisa taunts Bart with the fact that Milhouse has invited her to a Springfield Atoms football game. During the halftime show, the team's cheerleaders, the Atomettes, invite Lisa onto the field to take part in one of their routines. Lisa enjoys herself, but after the game, she discovers that the Atomettes are poorly paid. She persuades them to go on strike in order to force the team owner to grant them a better contract; the strategy succeeds, but in the meantime they begin to endorse many bizarre products and services, to Lisa's surprise and dismay. As the credits begin, several Atomette- sponsored items are shown. ===== Homer is ejected from a movie theater, but Bart cheers him up by showing him how to download the movie illegally. Homer then decides to open a backyard theater to show movies downloaded from the Internet. Marge starts to feel sorry after watching the movie and sends a check along with an apology letter to Hollywood to repay the money for the tickets she should have bought. A manager in Hollywood receives the letter and alerts the FBI. The FBI raids the Simpsons' house and arrests Homer for movie piracy. Marge feels guilty for accidentally getting her husband in trouble; however, during dinner the next night, Marge defensively maintains the belief that she did the right thing, even though Bart and Lisa side with Homer. Homer's bus to Springfield Penitentiary gets taken over by the prisoners who all consider copyright infringement to be much worse than robbing a bank or trafficking drugs. The bus crashes and falls onto a ledge, where Homer is rescued by a passing train after the prisoners abandon the bus. He returns home and despite Marge's pleading, refuses to turn himself in. Lisa takes the family to a Swedish consulate, since downloading movies is not illegal in Sweden. The FBI waits outside the consulate for Homer to leave. While in hiding, Marge confesses to Homer that she turned him in. Homer, feeling betrayed, turns himself in and is promptly arrested. During his trial at a U.S. Federal Court, Homer, with some encouragement from Marge, delivers a speech about his movie piracy. The Hollywood filmmakers who attend the trial are impressed by Homer's story and they drop all the charges, intending to buy the rights to Homer's story to turn it into a movie. A week before the film ("Streaming Valor") airs, the residents of Springfield give Homer a surprise special screening of an illegally downloaded copy. Homer gets angry at them, since he now gets money from the movie profit and kicks them out of his backyard while telling them to see it when it comes out in theaters. While watching "Streaming Valor" in the theater, Bart asks Lisa which side were the real pirates: the movie producers or those fighting for Internet freedom. Lisa says that both sides "claim their intentions are noble, but by the end of the day they're trying to steal as much money as they can". She then proceeds to say who the "real pirate" is, but is censored by NASCAR footage (which was also used to censor parts of Bart teaching Homer how to download movies) during the credits followed by a pirate flag and the laughing sounds of Seth Rogen. ===== After Lisa's new pet guinea pig destroys the Simpsons' living room art, Marge falls in love with a beautiful painting at the Van Houtens' yard sale, which Homer purchases for $20. Marge removes the frame and finds that the painting bears the signature of Johan Oldenveldt, an artist of some renown. An art appraiser estimates that it could bring between $80,000 and $100,000 at auction. Marge wants to share the sale proceeds with the Van Houtens, but Homer disagrees, saying that the Simpsons should look after their own financial security first and keep the sale a secret from them. Milhouse eavesdrops on the conversation from Bart's treehouse and tells his parents. The Van Houtens publicly shame the Simpsons for their secrecy, prompting a town-wide division of opinion. As the auction begins, Dawn, a former lover of Kirk's, arrives and claims that he took the painting from her. The auction is suspended until its ownership can be established. Kirk tells Homer that he bought the painting on the island of Isla Verde, Puerto Rico, home to an artists' community. Homer and Lisa travel to the café at which Kirk made the purchase in order to corroborate Kirk's account and the legality of Homer's purchase. The café owner confirms that she sold the painting to Kirk, but as Homer starts to celebrate, one of the customers interrupts. This man is Klaus Ziegler, an art forger who created the painting; he has fooled art galleries around the world by flawlessly imitating other painters' techniques. Although Lisa objects to Ziegler's practices, he convinces her that his forgeries have brought pleasure to the people who see them. Homer pays him to create three new paintings: a family portrait for the Van Houtens, a new sailboat picture for the Simpsons' living room, and a garish picture of a jukebox for Homer. The episode ends with a brief documentary (narrated by Ziegler) on the history of Strupo, a foul-smelling, hallucinogenic, highly addictive alcoholic beverage brewed on Isla Verde. ===== Springfield resident Chip Davis (a man who never appeared on the show yet apparently greatly impacted everyone in some way) dies, prompting some of the people he knew to reflect on their own lives and choices. Homer regrets selling his Apple stock for a bowling ball, and becomes increasingly irritated that Mr. Burns is gloating about buying Homer's stock with successful results. Marge worries that her listening to Kiss albums while pregnant with Bart made him what he is today as she watches him acting out during Chip Davis' funeral with Milhouse, including removing the church's pew kneelers, hurting everyone's knees when everyone kneels to pray, stealing the collection plates and using them as swords, and stealing Reverend Lovejoy's gown, mocking him. Mr. Burns regrets breaking up with a French woman Lila who became a Buddhist nun after rejecting his engagement proposal due to his selfishness. He later finds her in a Buddhist temple, and the two reunite. He then goes to the bathroom to freshen up. But when he returns, he finds her dead in bed after taking too long to prepare. He tries resuscitating her, but his "breath of life" ends up disintegrating her body. Smithers then encourages Mr. Burns to honor the one wish she had for him: be selfless for at least five minutes. Mr. Burns then sets out to volunteer at the soup kitchen, where he ends up staying longer than five minutes. Kent Brockman regrets not taking a position as a cable news anchorman when he had the chance when he was younger. He later goes to New York City looking for a job. After reviewing his choices, he heads to Fox News, where one anchor encourages him to blame the Democrats for what happens in the news. After realizing the pettiness of the news station, Kent decides to return home. Later, Bart decides to fly after making a balloon ride out of a laundry basket and hundreds of balloons. However, he begins to regret his decision after ascending too high into the air. Kent then sees this and broadcasts it on the news in hopes of regaining his drive for local news. Homer then uses his bowling ball as a way of weighing down Bart's balloon ride by shooting it out of a cannon which lands on the basket and brings Bart back to the ground. Everyone celebrates Bart's rescue while ignoring Lisa's success at an academics competition. Homer then begins to appreciate his bowling ball again, but then it explodes after a police sniper accidentally shoots it. Before the credits roll, a tribute to Marcia Wallace is shown, with Mrs. Krabappel in her classroom. ===== As Barney Gumble walks into Moe's, he notices that it is closed for a meeting. Moe is holding a meeting with the other bars in Springfield to discuss how their customer turnout has been low. When Moe holds a superhero themed bar crawl, Homer and his buddies join in the festivities, leaving Homer passed out in front of his home in the morning before Bart and Lisa leave on the school bus. Meanwhile, Bart feels smothered by his art teacher, who encourages nothing but the best from her students, and wants to get rid of her. When Bart visits a voodoo specialist, he receives some materials to cast a spell on his art teacher, yet his teacher still shows up to class the next day surprising Bart. Even though the spell was meant for a stomachache, Bart receives some startling news that his teacher is pregnant. Ralph announces that Bart got the art teacher pregnant. The student body, including Lisa, is in disbelief. After Principal Skinner grills Bart, Homer picks his son up complaining how embarrassing it is to find out Bart's bad news during his arraignment. When a couple approaches Bart about his baby- making skills, Bart utilizes his voodoo spell etiquette to give a couple a baby. The spell works, and the couple returns to ask Bart if he could cast the same spell for their couple friends in the same position. Before long, Bart has opened a fertility through voodoo clinic. Homer takes Bart to Moe's to discuss Bart's problems before Fat Tony's cronies come into the bar to kidnap them. Upon meeting Fat Tony, he orders Bart to work his baby magic on his horses to create a champion racehorse. Homer sees this as an opportunity to show Bart how babies are made. Nonetheless, the stallion communicates that he is gay by playing "It's Raining Men". Homer then finds former Duff Beer advertising horse Sudsley Brew-Right, and tries to convince the mare to mate with him in a musical number. They are successful and a pregnancy test comes back positive. The Simpsons are then seen giving advice to the equine couple, after which the gay stallion nuzzles up to Sudsley. Lisa remarks "Now, that's a modern family", which is followed by a parody of the opening sequence of Modern Family. The episode ends with a mock advertisement for Duff Beer seven- packs, featuring Sudsley. ===== Peter arrives from work with foul breath. It affects his relationships with his co-workers and family until Lois forces him to go to the dentist. The dentist discovers a shrimp left in Peter's mouth for an entire week. To celebrate the shrimp removal, Peter and the family go out to eat at The Founding Father restaurant. The waiter tells Stewie that his placemat is a real treasure map then tells a probably false story about Miles "Chatterbox" Musket which impresses Peter, despite Lois' insistence that it is a joke. Peter tries to recruit the guys to his hunt but fails. As Lois comes to fetch him while digging on his own, he digs up a treasure chest. Taking it home, the family discovers it contains a clue to obtaining the treasure. Despite Brian's urging to keep it secret, Peter had already gone public, launching a citywide hunt for the treasure. When the guys try to join in, Peter sends them out on their own. Following the clue, they join everyone else but Brian follows a slightly different angle on the clue. Peter and Lois start off to find the treasure and abandon the family. Splitting off, Meg and Chris head out as well as Stewie and Brian. Others also figure out the meaning and converge on Block Island. At the island cemetery, they locate the grave of Timmy Musket where Peter fights with the others including Chris to get the treasure resulting in Lois abandoning him. Digging up Timmy Musket, they discover another clue inside the lid of the casket which leads them to Pawtucket. At McCoy Stadium, Peter arrives to find everyone else fighting and realizes that Lois was right. Peter returns to Lois and apologizes. Peter explains where everyone is but Lois deduces that they are looking in the wrong place and takes Peter to The Drunken Clam instead. Seeing a painting, Peter pries it off to discover a treasure chest which contains an expired Founding Fathers restaurant coupon. At home, the Griffins are pleased with what they have as they get a knock on the door with Peter suspecting the "Hurry Up Shrimp" delivery. ===== At school, Meg hears about a new student named Mike Pulaski from her friends, mentioning that he is an unstable bully, which Meg gets to see firsthand when he turns Neil Goldman into a balloon animal and pops him. While in the cafeteria with her friends, Meg accidentally spills her lunch on Mike, prompting him to plan a showdown with her on the coming Friday. Meg unsuccessfully tries to get out of the fight first by asking Lois to transfer her to another school. The school in mind is too expensive. The next day at school, Principal Shepherd announces on the PA that he is accepting bets on who will win the showdown. For her second attempt to get out of the fight, Meg intentionally released a sex tape in an attempt to get expelled from school. It is only watched by Stewie. Finally, Meg pays four of the toughest jocks in school to beat up Mike for $1,000. Mike grievously beats them all and writes "You're Next, Meg" on a hallway wall in their blood. Meg goes crying to the bathroom where her friends decide to abandon her for their own safety. While crying, Quagmire calls her into one of the stalls that serve as his "base of operations" and admits to Meg that he had been bullied by a girl named Tracey Bellings as a teenager over preferring RC Cola during the cola wars. She then forced him into a long and sexually abusive relationship. His reasons for helping Meg is because he never stood up to his bully, and doesn't want Meg to go through the same thing. After extensive training with Quagmire, Meg faces Mike at school on Friday. Initially getting beaten up where some of the punches to Meg's face causes it to switch between her normal face (which is considered the ugly one) and the beautiful face, Meg decides to kiss Mike grossing him out. Meg then further grosses him out by popping a pimple onto him before finally lifting up her shirt in front of Mike, while everyone else looks away. Mike, however, does not look away, and is gruesomely melted, similar to what happened to Major Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Although Quagmire tells Meg that she will be alive to tell the story for a "long time," Meg reveals in a narration that she dies a year later from septic shock due to her body reacting to a frozen hot dog. Meanwhile, Peter casually starts taking his clothes off in front of Brian while talking to him about the Three Little Pigs as he sometimes prefers sleeping nude. Brian is disgusted by it, although Peter points out that Brian himself is typically nude, and claims that everyone undresses in front of their dogs. After another encounter with Brian in the bathroom nude after he has just finished showering, Peter realizes that Brian doesn't like to see him nude and starts harassing him in the nude including using Lois in a bait-and-switch tactic and even cutting off his own penis and mailing it to Brian in a package (though Peter collapsed from a lack of blood). After constant in-the-nude harassment from Peter, Brian decides he can't bear it anymore. At Stewie's suggestion, Brian decides to shave all of his fur off to give Peter a taste of his own medicine. After falling into Brian's trap, Peter is shocked at seeing Brian hairless, wrinkled, and with six nipples. Brian is very affectionate to Peter scaring him even when he asked why Brian has six nipples. Too scared at what he has seen, Peter agrees to wear clothes at all times in front of Brian, having learnt his lesson the hard way. Although Stewie's idea worked, Brian's fur won't grow back for three months. In the meantime, Stewie allows him to wear a pair of his own clothes in the interim to keep warm. ===== Peter and Joe help Quagmire pick out a new Apple computer at the mall. Quagmire later calls Peter for help finding his cat pictures, and his computer ends up crashing. Taking it back for service help the next day, the clerk, Sonya, discovers his tastes in porn, and they end up on a date. They find they have much in common, but Quagmire wakes up the next morning handcuffed to the bed, discovering he was drugged to have sex, and decides he's finally found his true love. Telling the guys at The Drunken Clam, they caution him to be careful. Quagmire and Sonya engage in a variety of wild sexual acts, such as having sex at the high school in front of Quagmire's former (now completely senile) high-school principal, Mr. Goodrich (who once suspended Quagmire for exposing himself at school), painting their bodies in black ink and making out until they've painted every letter in the Chinese alphabet, and Sonya watching Quagmire having sex with his transgender father, Ida. At the Drunken Clam, Peter and Joe discover Quagmire hiding black eyes behind sunglasses. They tell him his sex life with Sonya is getting out of hand but Quagmire feels he can't openly share their concerns in case Sonya overhears. Leaving the Drunken Clam, Sonya meets Quagmire outside, beats him and shuts him in the trunk of his car, claiming that she is satisfying his fantasies of being dominated and humiliated, as she drives away with him. The next day, Ida shows up at Peter's door and expresses concern that Quagmire hasn't been seen for days. Joe is also aware that Quagmire hasn't been around. The guys search for Quagmire by going to all his usual hangouts. Wandering into a seedy area, they find Sonya has a reputation of sexual instability and are directed to a storage container. Finding Quagmire suspended, beaten and gagged in Sonya's BDSM dungeon, they are cornered by Sonya, who takes Joe's gun. He calls her bluff and approaches. She pulls the trigger to a bulletless gun and Joe tackles her, admitting he has to keep his gun unloaded after a mental breakdown in April. Sonya is arrested by Joe while Ida frees Quagmire. Sometime later at the Drunken Clam, Quagmire admits later that he will need to be the really kinky one in his future relationships. He also tells Peter and Joe that his dad is pregnant with his baby. Meanwhile, Lois and the kids prepare for Halloween. While going through storage, Lois finds Stewie's first teddy bear, Oscar. Stewie rejects it until he finds himself wavering between Oscar and Rupert. Brian discovers Stewie in the attic having a tea party with Oscar and he begs Brian not to tell Rupert, claiming he is suicidal. Later, Stewie stomps downstairs claiming to have had a fight with Rupert, and gives him to Brian. While he is spending time with Oscar, Stewie finds Brian humping Rupert and takes him back. Rupert is then forced to choose between Stewie and Brian, falling over towards Stewie which Stewie takes as a sign of choice. Brian is indifferent and drags another one of Stewie's toys out of the room. As Stewie rejoices with Rupert, he worries about how Oscar will take the news. Oscar is seen having apparently hanged himself in front of a painting of Stewie in the attic. ===== The Griffins and their friends, including Cleveland, tailgate at the New England Patriots game at Gillette Stadium vs. the Buffalo Bills. However, at the end of the game, the Patriots blow their chance to win and lose their 10th straight game. At The Drunken Clam, Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe angrily discuss the missed chance. During a postgame interview, Bills players C. J. Spiller and Mario Williams, voiced by themselves, attribute their win to God and Peter proposes they find and confront God about messing with their games. Starting at a church, Cleveland enters in the style of Sherman Hemsley in Amen, but exits stating that there is a baby's funeral inside. They move on to Nashville, Tennessee to seek out Carrie Underwood, who attributes her success to God, but she doesn't know where God lives. Taking things to the extreme, they travel to Greece where they hope to run into success with the Greek Gods on Mount Olympus. They meet Chronos, the Titan of Time, on Mount Olympus, but he just gives Peter a gift basket and tells them the current time. Moving on to Israel, they find everyone is like Mort Goldman. In India, they decide that conditions are not fitting for God (including a theater where Aziz Ansari is performing) and leave. Back home at the Drunken Clam, Death stops in for The Cleveland Show and takes them on to visit God. In Heaven, God meets them personally and Peter tells Him to quit causing the Patriots to lose, which God blames on coach Bill Belichick for not smiling. He agrees to give the Patriots a break if they make Belichick smile. Their attempt to make him smile is met with stiff resistance until he laughs at Joe's condition, and they finally succeed in persuading God to leave the Patriots alone, and God then tells Peter that he has a message from Conway Twitty, stating that Twitty just wants Peter to do a joke instead of a cutaway. Lois states to Peter that he should have asked more from God, Peter states that he did ask God something else; Meg starts to vanish from existence. ===== Brian and Stewie flee a band of hostile Native Americans in a Jeep. Brian explains that on a trip to Jamestown in the past, Stewie gave the Native Americans guns which were used to wipe out the Europeans, leaving the Native Americans in charge of America. Stewie finds his return pad destroyed by bullets and decides to find the alternate timeline Stewie for help. Going to the equivalent of their house, they find a new time machine and pad then return to Jamestown to set things right. As soon as their original counterparts leave, they take back the guns and return to the proper time. Tired of their close calls, Stewie makes a snap decision to destroy his time machine and crushes the remains at the junkyard. While there, Stewie and Brian find a street hockey net and take it home for exercise. The first time they set it up, Brian is hit and critically injured by an out-of-control driver. At the vet, the Griffins learn that Brian's injuries are too overwhelming to overcome, and the family says their goodbyes. Just before he dies, Brian expresses his love for the family, thanking them for the wonderful life they gave him. Back home, while picking up the broken pieces of the hockey net, Stewie blames himself and the time machine for Brian's death. Stewie then realizes he can rebuild the time machine and use it to save Brian. Unfortunately, his dealer is unable to supply him with needed parts due to his connection being killed for unknowingly drawing Muhammad. The family and friends hold a funeral for Brian where Peter gives a tear-jerking eulogy. At the funeral, Joe is pressured by a mourning black woman to find who killed Brian, and Quagmire, who loathes Brian, does not pay attention to the service and he instead watches a video on his cellphone complaining at Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz to "stop swinging at junk". As Brian's casket is lowered into his grave, Stewie throws a final red rose onto the casket and he and the Griffin family watch on tearfully. A month later, the Griffin family still misses Brian dearly and Lois decides the best way for them to recover is to get a new dog. Peter chooses an Italian smooth-talking dog named Vinny at the pet shop. At home, Vinny offers to make dinner and ingratiates himself with the family. At the Drunken Clam, Peter introduces Vinny to Joe and Quagmire and they become drinking buddies. Stewie is still not happy with Vinny and decides to ruin him. Stewie feeds him some sad Italian news hoping to break his heart, but Chris ruins it for Stewie. Later, Vinny hears Stewie crying and finds he is still upset over Brian. Vinny offers some comfort, talking about the death of his previous owner Leo, and proving he knows what it is like to lose your best friend. Vinny says even in the pet shop, he felt a kinship with the Griffin family. Stewie finally accepts Vinny into the family. Later that night, Vinny goes to sleep beside Stewie's bed. ===== The Griffin family goes to Quahog Mall for the annual Christmas Carnival, but they find the festivities have been cancelled, causing Stewie to go on a destructive rampage. Vinny learns that Carter, Lois's father, canceled the carnival. Peter confronts Carter, who tells him that it was cancelled because he despises the Christmas season. Peter vows to help Carter find his Christmas spirit. Peter tries a fake story letter, making Carter drink egg nog in a hotel room, and having him masturbate, to no effect. When Peter accuses Carter of acting Jewish, Carter reverses his position on the carnival. Despite being re-established at the Quahog Mall, the Christmas Carnival fails to raise Stewie's spirits. When the Mall Santa Claus asks Stewie what he wants for Christmas, Stewie realizes he wants Brian back. Vinny pretends to be Brian, acting like an intellectual and a writer, but fails to cheer up Stewie. Trying to raise his spirits, Vinny and Stewie return to the Quahog Mall, where Stewie spots his past self time travelling to purchase a gift. Remembering the time travel occurred prior to Brian's death, Stewie realizes he can use Past Stewie's return pad to save Brian. Vinny appeals to Past Stewie's vanity to obtain his backpack, and brings it to Present Stewie. Stewie says goodbye to Vinny, whom he and the family will no longer have met if Brian lives. Stewie arrives in the past, saving Brian from being hit by the car. After explaining the situation to Brian, Stewie sends the return pad back to his past self in order to prevent a temporal paradox. Now unable to return and having altered his past, Stewie fades from existence as Brian thanks him for his actions. Unaware of what occurred, Past Stewie comes out of the house and wonders who Brian was talking to. In the present on Christmas Day, Brian is alive and well. Grateful to him for saving his life, Brian thanks Stewie, who remains oblivious to his averted death, as well as his alternate self's actions. ===== At the Pawtucket Brewery, Angela tells Peter he is getting a promotion to forklift operator since Frank (the original forklift operator) retired. Peter quickly becomes a master at it. Peter treats Quagmire and Joe to fun using the forklift to make it look like Joe is walking (though Joe loses his pants in the process). Peter is then seen lifting a baby lion in a parody of The Lion King. Peter then uses the forklift in order to save a beached sperm whale. Peter carelessly impales the sperm whale with his forklift and it falls apart when Peter tries to loosen it from the lift. Peter lifts an entire vat of beer, drinks it, passes out and drives the forklift through a wall into an executive meeting within the Pawtucket Brewery's conference hall. Angela emerges from the rubble and fires Peter. Peter retaliates by calling COBRA to pay $1,300.00 a month for health insurance. Three weeks later, Lois nags Peter about getting another job and decides to get a job of her own to help out with the bills. After Lois lands a job as an assistant manager at Stop & Shop, Peter finds himself left in charge of the household while Lois works. He washes the clothes in the dishwasher due to the washing machines in the basement drinking alcohol. Then Peter changes Stewie's diapers which Stewie considers intense. Peter then tries to make dinner while Lois is away which doesn't go well, as he cooks Chris, places Stewie in the freezer, and chops Meg's head off and places it in the microwave where it explodes. When Lois comes home and feels like having sex, Peter discovers he is unable to perform. After being humiliated by the family, he goes to see Dr. Hartman on Lois' advice to see if he has any treatments. Dr. Hartman tries to help Peter by giving him special pills (Viagra and Cialis) which do not work for him. At the Drunken Clam, Peter tells Joe and Quagmire about him being unable to have sex with Lois and they volunteer to help him beat impotence. Quagmire tries the "Boston Method" by using a Boston jerk in order to scare it into working. It doesn't go well. Then Quagmire tries to operate Peter's penis from outside; however, Quagmire, then Joe, struggle to control it. After all attempts fail, Quagmire decides that the solution is for Peter to get his old job back since he didn't have this problem before he was fired. At the Pawtucket Brewery, Quagmire entreats Angela to give Peter his job back where he claims that she promoted an incompetent man to operate a forklift. Angela denies Quagmire's first plea to rehire Peter since the incident he caused sent two executives to the hospital. Though she is surprised to learn that Peter's firing has also made him unable to have sex with Lois. Peter then proposes getting his job back by redeeming a "redo coupon" and a "hug coupon." They succeed with the "redo coupon," but the "hug coupon" has expired, however Angela gives Peter a free hug. It was also revealed that she had hired a studio audience to replace Peter until she fires them upon Peter being rehired. At Stop & Shop, Peter tells Lois that not only did he get his job back, but his sex drive is back. They have sex right in the store on a pile of pita breads as a passerby witnesses this and quotes "this is a cool place" as he walks away. ===== When Lois sends Peter in to check on Stewie who is having trouble sleeping, he sits down to read Stewie some fairy tales. ===== Joe is bragging to the gang about his sexual exploits with Bonnie when Cleveland returns to Quahog and shows up at the Drunken Clam. Cleveland takes some good-natured ribbing over The Cleveland Show and its many faults, including the show's logo looking like a penis, the show (which has an African-American main cast) being written by white writers, Tim the Bear not being funny and having his voice actor replaced after season 2, and the show losing to Bob's Burgers in the ratings. Peter then gives Cleveland some Family Guy DVDs to bring him up to speed on what happened during his absence, adding that unlike The Cleveland Show, the Family Guy DVDs contain jokes (Cleveland admits, however, that he doesn't own a DVD player). During the theme song, Cleveland appears and ends up taking Mort's place in the theme song while Mort heads home. As Cleveland and Cleveland Jr. move back into their old house and Donna, Roberta, and Rallo move in there with them, Cleveland discovers it has been wrecked due to all of the past residents like Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase (as seen in "Spies Reminiscent of Us"), Ryan Reynolds (as seen in "Stewie Goes for a Drive"), and it having once been used as an orphanage. After getting things fixed, the Brown family proceeds with moving in, cleaning up and sorting things. Rallo tries to make friends with Stewie, but Stewie blows him off, calling him a Boondocks rip-off. Chris breaks a vase that belonged to Donna's great-grandmother over Rallo's head. As a result, he's spanked by Donna, which enrages Lois, who confronts Donna after finding out. Donna accuses Lois of being a bad parent while Lois accuses her of being a child abuser for hitting her son. They refuse to have anything to do with each other, forbidding their husbands from socializing with each other as well. At the Drunken Clam, Joe plans for Susie's first birthday party as Cleveland walks in. Cleveland and Peter try to decide who must leave, and they decide to find a place where they can hang out without being discovered. They first try meeting on a commercial airline flight, and then later Peter poses as a police officer and pulls Cleveland over so they can talk. To make it look real, Peter beats up Cleveland dressed up as a cop while receiving some assistance from Joe, then Peter and Joe beat Cleveland ten times harder. Both Peter and Cleveland are caught and punished by their wives. Lois makes Peter sleep on the couch while Donna spanks Cleveland. As Chris finds Peter on the couch trying to sleep later that night, he suggests they find a way to get the wives together. Peter then initiates a conversation with Cleveland across the street using a flashlight and Morse code. Peter subsequently implements various crazy plans in an attempt to get their wives to reconcile (getting Cleveland injured in a car crash, having nude photographs of children exhibited at an art gallery, and burning an eagle with cigarettes), without success. At Susie's birthday party, they prepare for the three-legged race. While Lois wants to be Peter's partner, he really wants to be Cleveland's partner and refuses with finality. They both defy their wives and enter together. But when Peter trips and is hurt, Cleveland tries to carry Peter, but settles for hugging and rolling. As the wives look on, they agree to be friends for their husbands' sake. As Peter and Cleveland continue their rolling, they come in second place to two one-legged people who tied themselves together to form one body. Peter and Cleveland celebrate being friends at the Drunken Clam and once again rag on him for The Cleveland Show. ===== Brian gives Chris a ride to school, where he is confronted by four bullies. Seeing this, Stewie feels sorry for him and later offers to help him. He goes to school with Chris the next day and preps him to insult the bullies back; Chris flubs it, so Stewie hides in Chris' backpack to coach him, which is successful. The bullies later target Neil Goldman during lunch; Chris intervenes and soon finds that his Stewie-assisted gift of gab has an unexpected positive side: he becomes popular and nominated for class president. Stewie feels that his work is done after this, so Chris kidnaps him to keep him handy, keeping him in his backpack. One day Chris leaves him in the restroom; after freeing his legs, Stewie tries and fails to run blind. At the debate, Stewie points out that Chris has become the bully himself, and he realizes the truth. He steps on the stage to announce he is dropping out of the race and asks Stewie's forgiveness. At home, Stewie congratulates Chris for his guts and mentions that two of the bullies who picked on Chris committed suicide over Chris' rebuttals. Meanwhile, Peter takes umbrage at Stella taking extra breaks to smoke at work and decides to start smoking. He soon begins smoking every chance he gets to stop whatever task he is doing. When Peter's smoking begins to affect his sex life with Lois, she tries to make him stop but he's unable to break the habit and starts sneaking smokes during any little task, becoming fidgety and irritated when unable to get away. The smoking has an effect on his appearance and Lois takes him to the doctor. At the hospital, Dr. Hartman refuses to help with Peter's condition and bribes Peter and Lois to leave. At a stop-smoking clinic, a man named Mr. Stone wants Peter to be the face of their anti-smoking campaign but Peter must continue smoking to maintain his poor health. Peter appears in advertisements and becomes a celebrity, but his health continues to suffer to Lois' irritation. After Mr. Stone discovers that Peter is unremarkable after a NASCAR event, he releases him, to Peter's sorrow. Back at home, Peter announces that he is ready to go back to normal, but Lois and Brian explain that everything he has done is irreversible. Peter hastily requests for a repeat of the ending, hoping that he will be cured after the transitional shot of the house cuts to him and the family, but this has no effect. ===== When Lois goes out with Bonnie to the shooting range (which creeped Joe out on her last visit since the target was a paraplegic man), she tells Peter to take Stewie to the park in order to spend time with him. Bored at the park, Peter decides to sneak off to The Drunken Clam when Joe and Quagmire tell him that 60 clowns have arrived, so he leaves one of his eyes at the park. When Lois calls him at the bar, he rushes out to grab Stewie and takes the wrong child (whom Stewie happened to befriend). Arriving home, he realizes he took the wrong child, but has to pretend he is Stewie when Lois arrives home. He tries to cover things up, but Lois finds out just as another woman arrives with Stewie. Peter tries to deceptively downplay it to Lois, but with rage she calls him an idiot and fed up with him, hurting his feelings. Peter is then visited by a man who tells him that the eyes they left in the park got mixed up. Commiserating with the guys at The Drunken Clam, Quagmire suggests Peter broaden his horizons. At the Pawtucket Brewery, Stella turns down Angela's order to go to Chicago for a business trip since she is planning to watch the "Deaf Games" (a boxing match where deaf boxers fight each other). Peter takes Angela's offer and takes over the trip, where he takes advantage of a short meeting to visit Chicago's cultural offerings. He makes many more business trips to San Francisco, St. Louis, and New York, picking up more learning until he finally returns home refined and cultured, surprising his family. However, the new Peter's culture begins to obstruct the usual family entertainment, replacing the television with a bookcase with different books where one of them happens to be Game of Thrones. He also annoys Joe and Quagmire with his new self. Brian finds Lois sneaking television and she admits that Peter has become a nightmare and did not make her feel dumb before. She decides to send him to the dumbest places and packs him off to Tucson, Arizona. When he returns, he is back to normal much to the delight of Lois and Brian. Peter also states that Battleship is still in theaters in Tucson. ===== Chris wants to spend time with Peter; Peter declines his request. When Carter breaks his leg at the mall trying to go up the downward escalator, Babs needs someone to look after him while she goes out of town; Lois can't and Meg won't, so Chris has to. However, Chris and Carter get along well; Chris teaches Carter how to masturbate by giving him a hand job, order pizza online, and play in a garage band. After Carter's leg is healed, he tried to pay Chris, who turns it down; impressed by his grandson's humble nature, Carter makes him the sole heir to the family fortune—and Chris' reluctance to accept further elevates him in Carter's eyes. Upset at Carter's decision, Peter sucks up to Chris to get closer to the money; he tries dressing like Chris, sharing a classic teen movie, and engaging in a series of stunts—all unsuccessful. At the Drunken Clam, the guys note that Peter looks exhausted, but hope that whatever girl—or boy—he loves someday will make him happy. This inspires Peter to propose a Vermont gay marriage to Chris when he gets home that night. Peter reveals that he got Lois unknowingly to sign a divorce agreement, so Chris decides to go with the wedding idea—anything that means that father and son will finally be spending time together. As they drive northwest to Vermont, Chris notes all of the preparations they must make, such as the gift registry and reception dance. On the wedding day, Lois and the rest of the family interrupts the ceremony to tell Peter what he is doing wrong. Chris stops her to reveal he knew all along it was for the money, he just wanted to spend time with his dad. Peter and Chris agree to settle for being father and son, and they return home. Peter does a closing narration that references the Woody Allen movie Annie Hall and Woody Allen's marriage to his stepdaughter, Soon-Yi Previn. ===== Brian's overlooked and neglected teenage son Dylan returns to Quahog. While Dylan tries to reconnect with his father, Brian tries to distance himself and ignore him. However, when he learns that Dylan is a now a cast member in a new Disney Channel television series, he — under the ruse of bonding — uses Dylan's connections to secure a job on the series' writing staff to further his career prospects. However, rather than work under age-appropriate guidelines, Brian tries to adapt the writing to include more mature content; because the material does not fit the network, Brian is fired by a producer. Furthermore, a disillusioned Dylan realizes that Brian is not interested in bonding but is merely using him for his own selfish ambitions, and tells him that he never wants to see him again. When Stewie sees Brian getting drunk out of depression, Brian realizes how selfish he has been and how he never realized that he had the chance to have Dylan back into his life again, but he pushed it aside. Stewie decides to help him apologize to Dylan. On the first try Brian gets beaten up after trying to sneak past security. However, right when they are about to leave, Stewie sees a casting line and successfully tries out for Dylan's show under one of his aliases. While recording, Stewie breaks character and explains to Dylan that Brian wants to apologize to him and become a true father to him. Dylan meets up at the local park with Brian and forgives him. Meanwhile, Peter, Quagmire and Joe go on a hunting trip. During a lunch break, Peter shoots Quagmire in his arm when trying to show him how it would be if the safety was off. When the three friends meet back at the bar, Quagmire tells Peter he is fed up with his shortsighted and reckless behavior, and ends their friendship. This causes a rift between the two and leads towards a contest for Joe's affection. In the end, Joe decides that Quagmire has helped him more through hard times and gets along better with the family and chooses Quagmire. Peter tries to bond with Kevin only to leave stating that Kevin is "masturbating with a knife". With no more friends and even his own shadow abandoning him for Quagmire, Peter decides to commit suicide, which Lois talks him out of and persuades him to try and reconcile with Quagmire. Later on, Peter offers Quagmire the opportunity to shoot him to break even, thinking Quagmire would decline and consider the "thought" as being what counts. However, when Quagmire actually agrees, the two wrestle for the gun until Joe shoots Peter in an attempt to break even and stop the dispute. Peter (angry he was shot by Joe) and Quagmire (upset he was not the one who shot Peter) are dissatisfied. While Peter argues how everyone will settle their differences, Quagmire shoots Peter in the head making the score even. While Brian and Dylan are reconciling, Lois pushes a brain-damaged Peter in a wheelchair where Peter is explaining he is happy that he, Quagmire and Joe are friends again. ===== At the Drunken Clam, Peter, Quagmire, and Joe hear a news story from Tom Tucker of a kid who dies trying to stay awake playing Halo all night. Afterwards, the guys wager each other over who can stay awake the longest. To pass the time, the guys prank call Cleveland Brown and Mort Goldman over their dead wives. Sixty two hours without sleep later, the guys start to hallucinate. Joe falls asleep first as Peter and Quagmire struggle to stay awake. The next morning, Lois comes over to Quagmire's house and wakes Peter, Joe, and Quagmire up so that she can ask Peter if she can remove some episodes of iCarly from the TiVo. Peter and Quagmire review Quagmire's security camera footage and determine Peter won the bet. To celebrate, he takes the family out to eat. When Chris goes to pick out a lobster, he and Meg bump into their classmate Pam, and her father Jerome. But when they part, Pam erotically kisses Chris. He later introduces Pam to the family as his girlfriend to Peter and Lois's unease. Lois nervously notes she voted for Obama (once), and Peter is impressed that she is not fat. But at the Clam, Jerome forbids Pam from seeing Chris, and Peter accuses him of being racist, despite his objections. He invites Jerome and Pam to dinner, but Jerome strongly resists any overtures of friendship, and Peter's attempt to convince him (in a musical number) that white people have done a lot of good only makes him angrier as he drags Pam away. The next day, an enraged Chris mopes over Pam as he questions whether he will ever find anyone else and decides to go and kill Jerome. Meg then tells Peter and Jerome of finding a note that Chris and Pam have run away together. As they hide out in a motel, they try to figure out what to do, and Pam tells him to get undressed while she prepares herself as well in the bathroom. As Chris does the same thing, he finds Randy Quaid in one of the beds sleeping and urinating while talking about his movies. Chris reluctantly admits his inexperience and Pam admits hers as well. As Peter, Jerome, and Meg cruise town, they're pulled over by a cop who harasses Jerome for no reason, and Peter becomes sympathetic to Jerome's having to go through racist "shit" like that all the time. Blowing off some steam, Jerome notes that most of his anger is in his protection of Pam and that he likes Peter. They arrive at the motel to find Chris and Pam making out. Jerome is angry and it seems that he's not going to listen to anyone, but after Chris and Meg both sharply tell him off, Jerome sighs and apologizes for overreacting and gives Pam and Chris his blessing to date, though both he and Peter are relieved that their kids didn't have sex with each other. When Randy Quaid makes another comment while in his bed, Peter and Jerome plan to kill Randy Quaid. ===== Meg Griffin and her parents attend James Woods High School's College Fair where they find out that not only is Meg considered a top student (with an A+ average, despite the fact that none of the teachers want to trade sex for higher grades with her), but Principal Shepherd arranged an interview for her at her first-choice college in Vermont. Peter and Lois fight it out offscreen to see who has to take her, and Peter loses. On the way to Green Mountain College, Peter is his usual dismissive self towards her, and he doesn't order her any food at a diner, until he finds out that Meg knows a lot about his likes when she plays Night Moves by Bob Seger on the jukebox. They bond as Peter explains with stunning clarity that he had a family because he didn't like to use condoms and lost out on a promising career as a podiatrist to take his loathed job at the toy factory and support his new family. Arriving at the school, they find a party and continue to be friends. Back home, they reveal that they missed the interview as Lois scolds them. Meg defends their actions because this is the first time she has ever gotten anything positive out of her interactions with her father. Meanwhile, Brian goes outside to read in peace and quiet because of Stewie and Chris watching Extreme Makeover: Bethenny Frankel Edition. When he hears a noise, he discovers a skunk and is sprayed. After various attempts by the Griffin family to get rid of the skunk smell on Brian fail, Lois sends Brian to live outside until the skunk smell wears off. After Stewie is dismissive of Brian and berates him about not being able to handle living outside, Brian discovers he can hunt and eat in the wild after catching a hummingbird as well as run faster on all fours. As the smell fades, Brian finds he is meant to stay outdoors and starts to act like a wild dog while having a beard and long hair. Stewie feels unhappy that the balance in the house is off and begs Brian to return to his old life. Brian refuses until a thunderstorm starts, bolting for the house. Lois starts to get lonely as Peter and Meg continue staying out and having wacky adventures, and advises Meg to watch hanging out with Peter as he could ruin her future. Meg dismisses Lois' concerns but Peter's stunts begin to wear on Meg since everything he does is exhausting. When they return, Meg admits that she is having trouble dealing with Peter and asks for help, but Lois insists she work it out on her own as part of growing up. Meg reschedules her interview and tells Peter that she is going on her own, preferring he be her father instead of her friend. Peter wails as Meg departs. Meg's narration revealed that she got into her choice college, contracted HPV her first day there and got the nickname "Warthog." ===== Peter gets a package at his door addressed to Quagmire. Lois tries to tell him to take it next door, but he opens it to find a whip inside. Though it rightfully belonged to Quagmire, he fools around with it in various ways, like trying to whip a cigarette in Meg's mouth, whipping people in the crowd at a Devo concert, and visiting Cleveland's house with it after Cleveland receives a heads up voicemail from Joe, warning him about it. Upon arrival at the Drunken Clam, Peter, Quagmire, and Joe discover that a group of tough looking guys are sitting at their booth. When attempting to reclaim it with one of the tough men knocking down the stuff from Quagmire's mail that Peter had in his possession, the tough guys order them to go away causing them to leave sheepishly. This forces Peter, Quagmire, and Joe to sit at the bar making them uncomfortable where they are unable to see the television correctly. Through Word of their submission to the tough guys somehow gets out to all of Quahog. A male aircrew member refuses to follow Quagmire's orders and prefers to take orders from the co-pilot. Bonnie will not have sex with Joe causing him to call his male nurse Elton to carry him to the couch in the manner of An Officer and a Gentleman as he puts on a naval officer's cap in a role reversal. Chris usurps Peter's position as the man of the house and has the entire family sit in Papasan chairs. Meanwhile, after watching the film The Outlaw Josey Wales where the characters become blood brothers (after watching a scene where Clint Eastwood swaps blood with an Indian chief), Stewie talks a hesitant Brian about becoming blood brothers themselves. The next morning, Stewie discovers that he has herpes. Horrified and enraged, he confronts Brian about this and finds that he had herpes all along under his fur and never told him. Stewie then ends up spreading the herpes sending out invitations to a friend's wedding, and later tries to hide his herpes at school with a fake beard, but when his teacher removes the beard, the classroom freaks out and runs away from him, making Stewie mopey and depressed. While Stewie is watching the TV show Bryan Cranston Sneezes, Chris comes to him and reveals that he and Brian too became blood brothers and had gotten herpes from him and Brian has also concealed it from him. Chris and Stewie then get back at Brian and ruin his dates by telling them of his herpes. When Lois catches news of this after Peter acts wimpy when he simply asks Meg to pass the milk but she tells him to shut up, she demands that Peter and his friends stand up to the brutes. Quagmire is at first reluctant to tag along, but eventually goes along when Peter and Joe arrive to rescue their booth. After a brutal fight, the brutes once again demand they leave. Peter refuses to give up and goes into a tirade about life events that went on while sitting at his booth like his children being conceived in the booth, when he was in the booth when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded, when he was in the booth when 9/11 happened, and was in the booth when Barack Obama was elected President of the United States (all of which he reacted to with horror). The brutes reveal that they are soldiers who are only visiting Quahog and will be deployed to Afghanistan, which earns them applause from the Drunken Clam's patrons where Seamus uses Mort's head to salute them. Peter, Quagmire, and Joe are put down once again as Mayor Adam West declares this day in honor of the three soldiers and not Peter, Quagmire, and Joe. After the crowd leaves with the soldiers, Peter complains about having to root for Afghanistan now. After Chris and Stewie hack Brian's Facebook account, Brian demands that the duo cease. After Chris tricks Brian into letting him go on a getaway in his Prius, Stewie tells Brian that he feels betrayed by him when the dog did not reveal the herpes before they became blood brothers. This prompts Brian to apologize for lying, because he was self-conscious about the herpes and Stewie forgives him. Although Stewie is going to live with the herpes for the rest of his life, Brian tells him that it would only be bad during stressful times. A cutaway shows a future Stewie at a job interview, having chronic herpes on his face. ===== Stewie and Brian are watching Stewie's favorite show, called The Cadwalliders of Essex (a parody of Downton Abbey). Meanwhile, Peter and Chris play a game called "Unga Bunga", where they try to knock each other down using mattresses as Stewie tells Peter and Chris that he is watching his program, but Peter and Chris ignore Stewie. This ultimately results in Peter hitting Chris, Chris hitting, knocking down and breaking the TV Stewie is watching, causing him to throw a temper tantrum. Later, when Lois tries to comfort Stewie, he bites her right thumb and throws a framed picture of Meg against a door. Meg enters the living room and tries to give Stewie a hug, only for Stewie to break her nose by headbutting it. An infuriated Lois puts Stewie in his room for a time-out for everything he did until he learns his lesson. The next day, Stewie reveals to Brian that he has built a new time machine and uses it to stop his conception. Going back three years into the past, he observes the events prior to his conception, like Peter having his own public access show and Lois improvising some lyrics in the theme song in Stewie's place. Getting back to business, he discovers that Peter and Lois were truly in love but sets out to ruin things. Money fails to work so he shaves Peter's hair to get them to argue, but Lois flatters Peter, thinking that he can pass off as a celebrity. Peter even claimed that he was Bruce Willis. But he finally succeeds when he gives Peter's porn collection to Goodwill and writes "Vile Woman" on the wall. This causes Peter to leave Lois and as a result, Stewie fades from existence, but is reborn into a wealthy British family. Things seem like fun at first, but Stewie's new older brothers Jaidan and Aidan give him a hard time and he discovers they are not as foolish as his old family. He is dumped off to be raised by staff consisting of Nigel the butler, some maids and other assorted servants. Later that night, Stewie realizes he misses his old family because he was the smart one. Upon finding a dueling pistol in his bed, he accidentally shoots it, where the bullet knocks the bowtie off the cat belonging to the baby upstairs, who vows to duel Stewie. His new father is a professor at Oxford University and he sets out there to use the lab to build a new time machine. Piecing together a rudimentary machine, he is almost caught by the British Father but gets away. Stewie meets his past self and tells him about his bad alternate life. Together they remind Peter and Lois of how much they love each other by leaving Peter's "I Love You" picture to Lois in the refrigerator. They patch things up as Stewie says his goodbyes to his other self as a stage light falls on the British version, who then fades away. Returning to the original timeline, he is happy to be back as Cousin Earl shows up and shoots him in the arm. Chris, meanwhile, reveals that he has spent three years reading Peter's porn collection. ===== Peter finds Brian's old rope toy in the sofa, and Brian becomes possessive of it, making Peter jealous. One day, when the rope toy is in Brian's mouth, Peter ties it to his car and drives off. Brian trails behind the car until Peter takes a sharp turn and sends him flying into a fire hydrant, losing all his teeth and breaking his nose severely. Brian is miserable without his teeth and Lois refuses to spend money at the dentist to get him a new set since the procedure would be expensive and the fact that he's an animal. While having a drink with Quagmire at The Drunken Clam, Brian starts to cry until Quagmire gives him the number to his dentist where he has an account. When Brian returns, the family finds that the dentist has given him a prominent smile. Apprehensive about his appearance, the family offers support. Brian begins to find the new look suits him. While out for a walk, he is mistaken for a real estate agent. When the actual agent shows up, he gives Brian a job offer to join the agency called Quahog Realty. He finds himself selling many properties, including one to Bonnie near a cliff and one to Jason Voorhees that overlooks a camp. The owner sees how good Brian is at selling good property, so talks him to tackling a terrible condo and soon overhears that Quagmire has just received a bonus. Brian pays Quagmire back for the dental work and leads him into buying the property by convincing him it is a great investment. After showing him the prospective video, Quagmire is still hesitant until Brian convinces him a hated rival pilot is after it. After the purchase, the guys accompany Quagmire to the property to find it is a rundown dump and was completely misrepresented. Joe reveals that there is an escape clause good for 72 hours after purchase, but when they arrive at Quahog Realty, he is not around and it is revealed that he has ducked out to hide for the 72 hours. Taking refuge at a motel, he finds Quagmire already waiting for him. Quagmire informs Brian that his already low opinion of him has been pushed even further. Brian confesses that Quagmire may be his only friend for being the only person in Quahog to call him out on his wrongs, but it is revealed to only be a ruse to outlast the 72 hours. Because of this, an outraged Quagmire knocks Brian's teeth out with a lamp. Returning to normal life, the family consoles Brian. ===== To make up for Tina missing her Thunder Girls troop camping trip due to being sick, Bob takes the reluctant family camping in the woods. Once they get there, they meet a survivalist couple camping next to them who offer them supplies. Bob zealously intends to live off the land and fishes for a trout, while the rest of the family, much less impressed, borrow food supplies from their neighbors for dinner. Late at night, Bob and Linda go skinny dipping in the river, but become swept away by the strong flow. They wash ashore far down the river naked and lost, and Bob becomes violently sick from the trout he caught and ate earlier. Linda takes charge, demonstrating surprising aptitude in the wilderness, but Bob stubbornly ignores her, insisting in his own skill at wilderness survival. In the morning, the kids wake to find Bob and Linda missing and borrow some inner tubes and a "Survivalist Guide" from their neighbors to go search for their parents. Tina attempts to follow the Thunder Girls guidebook, but Louise and Gene find the Survivalist Guide much more compelling. At nightfall, Bob and Linda continue to follow the river back to the campsite, while Tina, Gene, and Louise come upon a Thunder Girl troupe campfire. However, Tina defiantly renounces her Thunder Girl membership, quoting from the Survivalist Guide about how such organizations are "cookie selling machines." Bob and Linda make it back to the campsite, with Bob finally praising Linda for her excellent wilderness skills and dubbing her the "Nature Master." The neighbor couple tell them the kids are in the trailer. It turns out to be a trick, and the couple tells them they have been living in the woods for 40 months and want Bob and Linda to join them. They trap them in the trailer, and Linda attempts to escape by asking to use the trailer bathroom. The kids return to camp and see Bob and Linda are being held hostage. Using the Survivalist Guide, they "weaponize" bees by using Tina's Thunder Girl sash to drop a bee hive through the trailer roof vent. In the chaos of the bee attack, Bob and Linda are able to escape the trailer and the Belchers flee in their car back to the city. Tina finds her combination of Survivalist and Thunder Girls skills helped her save her parents, and re- envisions herself as a "Thundervivalist." ===== Gretchen asks Linda to help her host "marital aid" parties for women. For each different group of women, Linda and Gretchen adapt their strategies, such as making up stories about Bob's lack of sexual prowess in order to break the ice, and better sell the sex toys. Meanwhile, Bob is apprehensive when he fills in for his friend as the cook for a college fraternity, Beta Upsilon Pi. However, he finds the frat's members—including Pud, Hefty Jeff, and Turd—to be down to earth, dorky, and friendly. Pud, the Beta president, explains that they are unpopular and are constantly being pranked by the snooty rival frat, the Alphas. They get Bob to assist them in retaliating against the Alphas by driving them to the Alphas' frat house for a prank.(they put a rotting fish into the outside unit of a central a/c system. This air never actually goes into the house so the prank is no real prank at all) In celebration of his involvement, the Betas have him drink from the frat house treasure: Beta, a hollowed out, taxidermied iguana that was once the house mascot. Bob spends the night partying with them using a karaoke machine donated to the frat by one of its old alumni, "Slowhand." Hefty Jeff comments that Slowhand is always coming around, trying to relive his glory days, but Pud admonishes him by reminding them that Slowhand has always supported them and given generously to the frat. Bob comes to greatly enjoy the friendship of the Betas and takes the kids to visit the house. They are surprised to find that Dr. Yap is also at the house, and even more surprised to learn that he is "Slowhand." Dr. Yap pushily tries to get the Betas to party and get aggressive over their rivalry with the Alphas, which makes the members uncomfortable. While Yap is upset by the Betas' obvious preference for Bob, he begrudgingly accepts him into their ranks and gives a tour of the house to him and the kids, except for the "Room of Secrets" in the basement, which is for official Betas only. Later, Bob and the kids go to the frat house only to find Dr. Yap passed out, with his head shaved and his body covered in offensive words and drawings written in marker. Yap wakes up, telling them that the Alphas attacked him and stole Beta, the Iguana. Incensed, Bob and the Betas begin pranking the Alphas, who continue to send them Polaroids of Beta dressed in ludicrous outfits. When the Betas receive a letter of warning from the college dean placing them on academic probation for pranking the Alphas, Yap urges them to make one final strike against the Alphas during an award ceremony for their charity work. Yap has a keg filled with the saliva of his many patients and they plan to rig the keg to explode from under the stage of the ceremony, dousing the Alpha president. As they put the plan into action, the kids manage to break into the Room of Secrets, and find Beta hidden in the wall, along with the Polaroids and outfits allegedly used by the Alphas. They tell Bob, who realizes that Yap faked the attack and had been pranking his own frat the entire time. Realizing that what Yap has done will result in the Betas being shut down by the dean, Bob rushes to stop them. He confronts Yap, who reveals that he did all this for years in an attempt to foster the same closeness with the Betas that Bob had done effortlessly. Yap merely hated the Alphas, who are revealed to be genuinely upstanding young men who engage in tireless charity work, because they always ignored the Betas, and doesn't care if the Betas are shut down if it will mean a legendary prank against the Alphas. Bob goes on the podium attempting to warn the Betas underneath the stage of Yap's plot. Yap rushes under the stage and sets off the keg, dousing the dean, the Alpha president, and Bob. Bob and Yap are banned from campus, but the Betas are thankful to Bob for finally getting Yap away from them. He takes the Betas to the restaurant for burgers, where Linda and Gretchen are hosting a sex toy party for "cougars." The women are excited to party with the college-age Betas, and they dance the night away. ===== For Halloween, Tina, Gene, and Louise plan to team up with Andy and Ollie Pesto and collectively wear a Chinese dragon costume, which they have gotten Bob and Linda to construct, in a ploy to get twice the usual amount of candy. Tina plans to not to go trick- or-treating again, believing that as a teen she has outgrown the activity. Before they go back to the family restaurant to claim their costume, the five, accompanied by their friend Darryl, decide to make a stopover at the Belcher siblings' makeshift cardboard fort, located in a neighboring alley, so Gene can grab the dragon eyes. However, a truck backs up and blocks the fort's entrance and roof, with the driver unaware that the children are inside. Once they realize that he will be leaving the truck parked in the alley for the night, they begin to scream for help. Only Millie Frock, a psychotic classmate of Louise's, overhears them and comes to their rescue. Louise, however, becomes increasingly annoyed by Millie's talkativeness and eventually lashes out at her, causing Millie to keep them stuck in the fort. As the day continues, Millie continues to torment her trapped schoolmates, first by dropping plastic spiders through the fort's walls. Louise rips through some soggy cardboard, which reveals a passageway into an adjacent dumpster. Ollie is sent through first, but Millie closes the dumpster on him before he can escape and get help. It emerges that Darryl told Millie of their escape plan in exchange for candy and a trip to the bathroom, only for her to betray him. Night falls and Bob and Linda, noticing that their kids have not yet arrived to pick up their costume, decide to investigate the fort. Millie, however, deceives them into believing that the children have already gone trick-or- treating. Darryl discovers that he can use a bent wire hanger to press a button on the truck which will lift up its loading ramp off the roof, allowing them to escape. However, he presses the wrong button, which causes the ramp to instead move downward onto the fort. They stack up bricks and paint cans from the dumpster to stop themselves from being crushed to death and the force begins to tear the fort's doors, allowing the kids to crawl free. However, they are disappointed to find that the lights have been turned off in every house. Tina, Gene, and Louise go home and decide to eat the candy obtained by Bob and Linda, who went trick-or-treating in the dragon costume. Tina says that she will continue to trick-or-treat after all. Millie later passes by the alley and is horrified to see the crushed remains of the fort, believing that she has killed her schoolmates. The Belcher siblings, hiding in the truck, pretend to be spirits and trick Millie into forfeiting her candy. As the credits roll, Tina, Gene, Louise, Andy, Ollie, and Darryl are seen eating Millie's candy. ===== Linda is dissatisfied by her and Bob's lackluster date nights and proposes that they take seaplane flying lessons. Bob refuses to go, so Linda elects to go by herself. Her instructor, Kurt, listens to her disappointment about Bob not joining her and they begin the lesson. At the restaurant, Teddy and Mr. Fischoeder alarm Bob to Kurt's reputation as a seducer, called "Upskirt Kurt": Kurt seduces his often lonely housewife students, first by faking a near plane crash to up the adrenaline, "saving" them at the last minute, then taking them to the nearby "deserted" Quippiquisset Island (which Mr. Fischoeder refers to as "Quickie Kissit Island") to fix the plane, leaving the two of them alone for romance. True to form, Kurt fakes a plane crash while flying with Linda and the two end up on Quippiquisset Island. Kurt tries to seduce Linda with a picnic (originally "for his sick, elderly mother") and by playing music, but she rejects his advances because she is happily married, even if her and Bob's love life is stagnant. Kurt accidentally reveals that the entire situation was a set up and Linda is furious. Kurt argues that he is simply giving lonely women what they want, to which Linda responds that women do not want to be tricked into having sex. Linda forces Kurt to take them back to the pier, but Kurt finds that his plane was pulled out with the tide: they are truly stranded on the island. On the pier, receiving confirmation of Kurt's reputation from nearby fishermen, Bob becomes frantic that Linda will be seduced. He and the kids take a small rowboat to the island and Bob attempts to fight Kurt, but is too exhausted from rowing the boat. Mr. Fischoeder passes by in his boat, towing Kurt's plane behind him, which he found floating in the water. Mr. Fischoder gives them a lift, with Kurt in the boat with him, while Linda, Bob, and the kids ride behind them in the plane. However, Mr. Fischoeder and Kurt crank up the speed on the boat, not realizing that the speed is causing the plane to lift into the air while still tied to the boat. The Belchers panic when they see that the boat plans to pass under a bridge. Afraid they might die, Bob and Linda apologize for not being passionate enough and not being happy with what they had, respectively. Bob finds Kurt's pocket knife in the plane and has no choice but to climb out onto the railing and try to cut the rope. He manages to cut the rope just in time and Linda uses what she learned to pull the plane up and over the bridge. However, Linda realizes that she does not know how to land the plane: she only saw Kurt land after causing a fake nosedive. Linda tries the same and successfully lands the plane near the pier. The adrenaline of the fake plane crash has its effect on Linda and Bob, who jokingly tell the kids to jump out and swim to shore to give them privacy, which Tina does, much to their chagrin. ===== Linda's high school reunion is coming up, and the planner has asked her and her high school band, The Tatas, to play. Linda refuses because the group's debut performance at the talent show was a disaster after they were shown up by another girl band, Bad Hair Day, who went on to achieve industry fame. It is so traumatic that Linda likewise refuses to even attend the reunion, as her classmates booed and humiliated her off the stage. Bob is relieved not to have to go. However, while singing in the shower, Linda regains her passion for performing and gets the band back together: her former high school friends and her sister, Gayle. However, Gayle only agrees to play with them if she is finally allowed to sing one of her songs; Linda never allowed her to sing her songs during their high school days because they were always very sexual and Gayle had a speech impediment. Linda agrees and further convinces Gayle to come by telling her that her high school crush, Derek Dimatopolis, will be there. Linda and the Tatas rehearse, writing numerous revenge songs about the classmates who humiliated them. On the night of the reunion, Bob is dismayed to find he has an enormous pimple on his face. Linda hires a babysitter, Jen, for the evening, upsetting Tina, who expected to babysit that night. At the reunion, Linda is excited to perform until, last minute, she is told that Bad Hair Day will be performing first, the band being in town for a big concert and agreeing to drop in for the reunion. Back at the apartment, the kids try to force Jen to take them to the reunion so they can see Linda perform. Jen refuses, but the kids learn of her secret weakness: she is very ticklish. Tina threatens to tickle her into submission, but Jen freaks out and accidentally punches Tina, giving her a black eye. Worried that she will be fired for this, Jen is despondent. Louise proposes that they won't tell if Jen takes them to the reunion, and that they all give one another black eyes so that no one will be suspected of anything (which the rest of them go along with, despite having reservations). Meanwhile, Bob tries to hide his pimple, but it becomes the excited focus of Derek Dimatopolis, now a dermatologist, and several other attendees who work in similar professions. They convince him to have a good time and help him accept his pimple as something unique and unusual. Bad Hair Day's performance is a success, and Linda, irritated, snaps at Gayle, telling her that they won't be playing any of her songs. Gayle is hurt and refuses to play with the band. As The Tatas get ready to perform, Linda has a flashback to the humiliating night of the talent show and flees the stage, crying. As she runs down the street, Jen and the kids see her and Jen convinces Linda that even if her band is bad, she should perform because she loves it, just as Jen acknowledges that she is a terrible babysitter, but that she loves doing it. Linda returns to the reunion and apologizes to everyone and to Gayle. Rather than singing any of their revenge songs, she invites Gayle to sing her song: a very sexual ode to Derek, who uncomfortably watches from the audience. The song is a rousing success and their classmates cheer. As they drive home, Bob and Linda remark on the good time they had, though the kids insist on popping Bob's pimple, which they succeed in doing, to his disappointment. Bob asks where Gayle is, and Linda states that Gayle found a ride home: after being enticed by her song, Derek and Gayle are hooking up in the back of his car. ===== Bob is excited about a three-day brine recipe for the Thanksgiving turkey, but the holiday becomes complicated for a couple of reasons: * 1.) Tina keeps insisting to sit at the adults' table this year, to Bob and Linda's refusal. * 2.) Linda's sister, Gayle, is staying with the Belchers for the holiday and she's bringing her pet cats. Bob, who's allergic to cats, begins taking allergy medication to combat his allergies. The next morning, Bob finds his turkey dumped in the toilet. Furious, Bob scolds everyone, but the family insist that none of them did it. Meanwhile, Gene tries to write a "Thanksgiving carol" and enlists his mom and aunt to help him sing it. In an attempt to be considered adult enough to sit at the adult's table, Tina begins dressing more maturely and using what she perceives to be sophisticated catch phrases on adult topics, such as the economy and current events. The next morning, Bob is horrified to find his second turkey in the toilet again and no one steps forward. In order to do a one-day brine, Bob goes to purchase two turkeys, one to serve as a decoy for the turkey saboteur and one to be the real turkey. The butcher mistakes Bob's return as an excuse to see him. He tells Bob that he has a boyfriend, but tells him not to let his rejection discourage him, offering to set him up with his friend, who's into "sloppy bears." As Bob prepares the two turkeys, he describes his plan to Linda: the decoy turkey will be in the apartment fridge, but the real turkey will be hidden in the restaurant fridge. He swears her to secrecy, so that the turkey "terrorist" won't know. Bob also decides to hide in the kitchen, staying up late in order to catch the culprit, but falls asleep at midnight. The next morning, Bob finds both turkeys in the toilet. Bob is convinced Linda, the only other person to know of the two turkeys, is the saboteur, but Linda swears it was not her and the family reveals that Linda blabbed about the two turkeys, making all of them potential suspects once again. Bob is determined not to let the culprit prevent him from cooking a turkey and purchases one more at the grocery store. The butcher once again mistakes this for Bob's affection toward him, and breaks down, stating that things with his boyfriend, Tony, haven't been good for a long time and that perhaps he is indeed ready for a change. He excitedly asks Bob where he wants to go for a date, but Bob, flustered, tells him that he's "straight...well, mostly straight" and not romantically interested in him, but that even if he was, the butcher is way out of his league. Bob runs away, saying that he probably won't see him tomorrow, but that he'll call him. Tina continues to try to win her way into the adults' table, while Bob successfully cooks the turkey in time for dinner. Before dinner starts, Gayle and Linda sing their sexually euphemistic Thanksgiving carol, but Bob, exhausted from staying up late, falls asleep and begins sleepwalking with the turkey. The family follows him, where he takes the turkey into the toilet, referring to the turkey as Tina, and trying to potty train it, causing it to fall into the toilet. The mystery is then revealed: a side-effect of the cat allergy pills is sleepwalking, and Bob's anxieties over Tina growing up so quickly manifested as him taking the turkeys in his sleep and trying to relive potty training Tina when she was an infant, just as he had potty trained all the kids when they were little. Tina assures her father that even though she's getting older, she'll always be his little girl, and the entire family hugs. The following night, Bob begins sleepwalking again, this time reliving potty training when Gene was an infant, and putting one of Gayle's cats in the toilet. ===== Tina is delighted when Bob helps Mr. Frond by filling in as the substitute home economics teacher at school, hoping that she can now become someone's teacher's pet. Bob, finding that the home-ec class is really just a class where the school can put the low scoring students, instead inspires them with cooking by showing them how to pop microwavable popcorn on the stove. Zeke, however, is reluctant to participate. Bob asks Zeke to assist him during a soup cooking demonstration, and Zeke, to his surprise and everyone else's, demonstrates a strong aptitude for cooking and what Bob calls a "perfect palate". Zeke begins to thrive in the class and the food the students cook in class becomes so popular that Bob decides to turn the home-ec room into a fully operational restaurant, to teach the kids the "economic" side of home-economics, with Zeke as the head chef. Tina is dismayed that Zeke has become Bob's favorite in class, and after finding herself relegated to dish washing, decides to transfer to shop class, in hopes of becoming the teacher's pet there. Bob becomes an excellent and popular teacher around the school. However, the popularity of the new "Home-Ec- staurant" draws business away from the school cafeteria, which threatens the lunch ladies, who are independently contracted through Caf Co. Food Services. The head lunch lady, Hildy, begins menacing Bob, finally taking him to a secret meeting with her boss, who tells Bob that he is in violation of Caf Co.'s contract with the school. He has arranged for Bob to be fired. As he packs his things, the students plead with him to stay and teach them again, but Mr. Frond instructs him to go. In a show of solidarity, the students stand on their desks and rip open bags of unpopped microwavable popcorn. Bob, inspired, decides that they should go out with a bang and serve one last meal to the student body. Using a push cart and a portable grill, they make a mobile hamburger stand that they can wheel to the cafeteria. As they run down the hall, Bob only then realizes that Tina transferred and feels terrible that he ignored her. He finds her at shop class and apologizes, and she joins him and the other students. The hamburger cart is too popular for Caf Co. to stop, so they give up, as Bob and Tina share the final Home-Ec-staurant meal together. Meanwhile, Linda teaches Teddy to dance in preparation for a wedding he will be attending. Though initially uncertain, Teddy is able to relax and express himself freely through dance, though he ends up throwing up in the bounce house set up at the wedding. ===== In order to combat Jimmy Pesto's boost in customers, Bob hires Randy Watkins to make him a Super Bowl commercial. When the commercial that Louise scripted proves to be terrible, they get football star Sandy Frye to star in their commercial with the catch phrase "Bob's burgers goes great with Frye." When the commercial airs, Bob's family is upset to learn that Bob has edited out all of his family's screen time. The argument is interrupted when the commercial following Bob's ends up being Jimmy Pesto's, also starring Sandy and using the same punch line. Bob runs over to Pesto's to call him out on copying his idea and Sandy admits to going to eat at Pesto's after he shot Bob's commercial. Though Pesto's customers ignore Bob's speech about how his commercial was a bad idea but he has good food, Bob's family hears and decides to forgive him. In a subplot, Gene has a tradition of holding in his bowel movements to have a "Super Bowel" during the Super Bowl half time. Gene ends up using the bathroom at Pesto's and clogs the toilet leading to it overflowing and flooding the restaurant with sewage. At the end of the episode, we see that Sandy was also in a noodle commercial with the same catch phrase. We also see Bob's new commercial featuring his family. ===== A magician festival is happening in town, and Bob, excited for the festival, creates a promotion for any magicians dining at the restaurant. Their first customer is the magician Sazerac, who dazzles the Belchers with a seemingly impossible trick. Meanwhile, Jimmy Pesto Jr. plans to perform a magic act at the festival's competition. Tina urges him to include her as his magician's assistant, which he does reluctantly. However, she is dismayed to find that Jimmy's routine has little magic and focuses more on dancing. As she attempts to give him advice, Jimmy and Zeke mock Tina, angering her and resulting in Jimmy firing her and picking Tammy as his new assistant. Furious, Tina vows to perform a better magic act and humiliate Jimmy, but finds she is bad at performing magic. She instead settles for sabotaging Jimmy's routine. At the restaurant, Bob becomes disenchanted by Sazerac and the other magicians when they fail to purchase any food, content to loiter in the booths and use their magic skills to disrespect him. Becoming fed up, Bob throws the magicians out of his restaurant and Sazerac declares him an enemy of magic, writing his name down in a little book. Sazerac warns Bob that he will be plagued by mystical phenomena from this point forward. As unexplainable events begin to happen within the restaurant, Bob becomes intent on striking back against Sazerac. At the competition, where Sazerac is one of the judges, Tina changes the music for Jimmy's dancing magic act to something he cannot dance to. She immediately regrets humiliating him and sets out to help him. In Sazerac's dressing room, Bob licks all of the catered food and finds the book, ripping the page with his name out of it. Onstage, Tina frees herself from a straitjacket and salvages the act, causing them to win "Best Onstage Chemistry." Backstage, Louise steals Sazerac's book, but the Belchers find a note inside instructing Bob to read the back of the page he tore out. The page has a note from Sazerac telling Bob that he anticipated Bob's payback and Louise picking his pocket, and claims to have farted on the catered food. The Belchers are left stunned. ===== It is based on the novel Ice Ages, by German author . She was inspired by reports in the late 1980s of the discovery of the half-burned body of a young woman near Bergen, and there was speculation as to her identity. This was just before the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification of Germany. The film gradually unravels the story of Katrine Evensen Myrdal, a happily married woman with a grown daughter and granddaughter, and of her mother Åse Evensen. Katrine is known to have escaped from East Germany and made her way to Norway as a young woman to be reunited with her birth mother, Åse Evensen. The film explores the cases of Lebensborn or war children, born from unions between German soldiers and Norwegian women, who were taken away after birth to be raised in Germany. Some were adopted by German families; others raised in orphanages. Both societies had shunned the Lebensborn children and their mothers after the war; in Norway, women known to have had relationships with Germans during the Occupation were sometimes incarcerated in work camps. In East Germany, some war children were recruited by the Stasi as agents. Given false identities, they "escaped" to Norway as adults to be reunited with their birth mothers, claiming places of war children and serving as spies. Reportedly there are still such Lebensborn agents in Norway who have not been discovered.Ella Taylor, "A Legacy Of War, Hitting Home Decades Later In Norway", NPR, 27 February 2014, accessed 10 July 2014 ===== ===== Krazy, as the title implies, is a bill poster who places paper signs on walls or wire posts in the city.

The kitten then conjures a jar containing a bee which the tiny cat places at the horse's rear. The horse gets stung and finally runs, leaving behind its carriage. The spaniel, who is still chatting with Krazy, sees what happened and frantically informs her boyfriend. Krazy dashes around, chasing his horse which is being rode away by the kitten. The horse runs all over the city, bashing every object and bystander in its path. Krazy eventually catches the reins. But by the time he does, the horse crashes into a pile of logs.

In 1969, the prepubescent Aila (Miika Whiskeyjack) lives with her father Joseph (Glen Gould), mother Anna (Roseanne Supernault) and younger brother Tyler at the fictional Red Crow Indian Reservation, a Mi'kmaq Indian reserve. Aila's parents consume drugs and alcohol to cope with the abuse they suffered at St. Dymphna's residential school. Tyler is accidentally killed by Anna during a drunk driving accident. The grief-stricken Anna commits suicide while Joseph takes the blame and is imprisoned. The film fast forwards seven years later to 1976.

An artillery second lieutenant, who comes from a wealthy banking family, was assigned to the artillery battery. During the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913, he was a member of the Commission, which had provided guns for the army. His family now wants to put him in the commission again. He wants to join the battery and go to war instead. The artillery battery is deployed to western Serbia where an Austro- Hungarian attack is anticipated. They are deployed to Arandjelovac while their leaders are meeting. At the meeting, an infantry major, Kursula, gives his opinion on the main attack: Austria-Hungary will attack Serbia over the river Drina, not across the river Sava, as was expected. On August 10, the artillery battery arrives in Aranđelovac, which expects the orders of their commanders, who are at the meeting. On August 14, the artillery battery enters Lazarevac where it stays for a short period before again moving on. The Supreme Command of the Serbian army rejects the idea that the main attack of the Austro- Hungarian Army will be across the Sava river. The attack is expected along the Drina River. The division is, therefore, redeployed to western Serbia to the Drina. By August 15, the battery reaches the foot of Cer Mountain where it joins in the battle. On August 16, the Combined Division starts to struggle. Enemy forces attacked them suddenly forcing them to retreat from the position. They withdraw from Cer Mountain to save the lives of the soldiers. A sergeant from the battery quickly disassembled a gun so that if it falls into the hands of the enemy, it cannot be used in combat. Upon withdrawal, Major Kursula goes to the village Tekeriš, where the supreme command of the Serbian army resides. Kursula reports to commander General Stepa Stepanović. In the afternoon, the army counter-attacked and managed to defeat the enemy troops and force their withdrawal across the Drina River into Bosnia. ===== Swipe takes place in the futuristic United States, now called the American Union, which is in the process of a merger to create a Global Union.

Pledges are Marked—that is, they receive a wrist tattoo that will allow them to participate in the benefits of civilization. The Unmarked, those who refuse to Pledge, live as vagrants or as dependents of those who are Marked. Logan Langly, the novel's protagonist, is nearly thirteen, the age when most young people go to be Marked. Unlike most young people, Logan is afraid of the Marking process. His older sister Lily never returned from her Pledge, and Logan fears than if he Pledges, he might die himself. Logan's fears, however, go beyond the Pledge. Since Lily's death, someone has been watching him, even breaking into his room on occasion. The only person who takes Logan's fears seriously is thirteen-year-old Erin Arbitor, the daughter of a government agent. She believes that the perpetrator is a Markless teenager named Peck who is wanted by the government for crimes including kidnapping, assault, and murder. Logan and Erin spend most of the book trying to hunt down Peck and his friends on their own, ostensibly to turn them into the government. Ultimately, however, Logan finds that he must judge for himself whether Peck's motives are as nefarious as the government claims. ===== This book has three major plots and at least two minor ones.

That night, she and several friends conduct a secret ritual meant to call up the legendary spirit of the Verdant Empress. Instead, they accidentally call up the spirit of Alexandra, the Dowager Governess. The other girls run away, but the Governess begins sending Zita nightly messages instructing her to bring the spirit 3 things: an eagle feather, a pebble from beside a stream in Wildwood, and the teeth of the Governess' son, Alexei (the teeth are in his entombed mechanical body and were used for bringing him back to life the first time). Zita is mourning her recently deceased mother, and decides to help the Governess because she can feel her grieving over her own dead son. The new Elder Mystic, the young boy who was an acolyte in the last book, accompanies other Mystics deep into Wildwood to hang a flag remembering Iphigenia on the Ossuary Tree there (oddly, this journey takes "many days", although Prue and her army traversed the same distance in a couple of hours in the first book). Afterward, the Elder Mystic follows a pattern in the trees and is suddenly swallowed by the ground, disappearing forever. Meanwhile, Esben the bear has been staying with Prue and her family in Portland. He and Prue head back to the Impassable Wilderness to carry out the wishes of the Great Tree and try to bring Alexei back to life again. Leaving Esben hiding in the woods, Prue goes to South Wood to ask the government for help. She is shocked to find that people are being executed in the name of the "Bicycle Maiden" and her coup, and that a new set of Caliphs who worship the Blighted Tree of South Wood are gaining control (they feed the substance that is covering the Blighted Tree – Spongiform - to people, and it makes them obedient to the Tree's wishes). It turns out that the mysterious Roger Swindon himself is the head of these Caliphs, and that they have assimilated all of the Wildwood Bandits into their number. The people of South Wood angrily turn on Prue when she tells them that they need to reanimate Alexei. Rachel and Elsie and all of the other former orphans of Unthank's Home have taken refuge in a warehouse in the Industrial Wastes, where they are hiding out from Roger Swindon and his stevedores. They soon ally themselves with a beret-wearing, French-speaking group of men who call themselves the Chapeaux Noir. The Chapeaux Noir are dedicated to bringing down the Titans of Industry who run the Industrial Wastes. Their leader, Jacques, was once one of the Titans but was betrayed by his fellows, who absorbed his industry into their own. They find another unlikely ally in Joffrey Unthank, who has gone mad and is living like a hobo. Together they plan an assault on Titan Tower, where the blind Maker Carol and orphan Martha are being held captive. PART TWO: After she refuses to eat the Spongiform when the Blighted Tree Caliphs offer it to her, Prue is taken by soldiers and imprisoned on the Crag, an island fortress in the ocean. She is accompanied by the former Bandit Seamus, whose affliction she ended when she used her mastery over plants to pull the Spongiform out of his nose. The Unadoptables and the Chapeaux Noir assault Titan Tower with explosives while Elsie and several others of the smaller children crawl through the air ducts and free Carol and Martha. Titan Bradley Wigman shoots and kills Joffrey Unthank (who dies in the arms of his beloved Desdemona) and Roger Swindon is then taken captive by the fleeing orphans. Rejoined by Rachel and one of the Chapeaux Noir named Nico, they head into the Impassable Wilderness while the Industrial Wastes explode behind them. Zita finishes gathering the three items the Governess' spirit has tasked her to find and performs a ritual that brings the Governess, in the form of a giant ivy woman, back to life. PART THREE: A chapter is devoted to telling of an owl who after having not left his own tree for years, decides to construct a model of the Eiffel Tower from a photo on a postcard given to him by a squirrel. When he completes it, it is knocked over by the encroaching enchanted Ivy that the Dowager Governess has unleashed anew. The owl then disappears from the story completely. The orphans, Nico, Carol and Roger Swindon find themselves ensnared in a rope trap in Wildwood. Rachel and Elsie are shocked to see who has laid it: their missing brother Curtis. Unable to discover what happened to his fellow Bandits, Curtis has recreated the Bandit's Hideout in the trees (in only a few weeks and assisted only by the rat Septimus, Curtis has constructed an elaborate fortress hundreds of feet up in the trees). Prue and Seamus are rescued from the Crag by Owl Rex and some of his Avian subjects, who then take them to South Wood, where they find a repentant Zita and Esben the bear. Since they still do not know where the other Maker, Carol, is, Esben begins trying to make the Mobius Cog with the help of Seamus. The Ivy has already overtaken all of South Wood and all of its other residents have been put to sleep underneath it. Prue uses her abilities to pull the Ivy off of the Wildwood Bandits – including the Bandit King, Brendan - and then removes the Spongiform through their noses, freeing them from their spell. Curtis, his sisters and Carol are chased by Ivy Giants created by Alexandra, and the Ivy overtakes the new Bandit's Hideout. Nico is overtaken by the Ivy, as is the wooden cell where they have imprisoned Roger Swindon but the rest are rescued and carried to safety at the last moment by Avians being ridden by Brendan and the Wildwood Bandits. They fly to North Wood, where Prue is already gathering the animals and farmers to make a stand against the Ivy. When they realize that Carol is the other Maker, he is quickly flown back to South Wood and reunited with his old friend Esben. Together, the two Makers reconstruct the Mobius Cog. Once Zita provides them with Alexei's teeth, they bring him back to life once again in his mechanical body, but he is despondent upon being forced back to artificial life. They manage to convince him that he is needed to stop his mother, and he agrees to do so only if Zita will remove the Cog and let him die again once he has stopped her. She agrees. Prue, the Bandits and the reformed Wildwood Irregulars are joined by the Avians in battling the Ivy, but they are overrun by Ivy birds and giants created by the Governess. The Ivy overtakes the Great Tree and splits it in two. This destroys the Periphery Bind, and the Ivy is unleashed upon the world. It tears down the remains of the Industrial Wastes and then covers Portland and puts all of its residents to sleep. Alexei, in his mechanical body, arrives and approaches his Ivy mother, laying his head on her breast. He tells her that he forgives her for bringing him back to life. Her anger dissipates and she is finally set free. She disappears into the ground forever. Prue climbs to the top of the destroyed Great Tree and uses her power to pull the Ivy, which is no longer enchanted, back from Portland and the Industrial Wastes, and then gathers it to her and orders it to fold itself into the ground. She then falls unconscious. The North Wood Mystics gather her up and set out with her in their arms to the Ossuary Tree in Wildwood (again, this journey takes many days). They are escorted by the Bandits. They lay Prue on the ground near a new sapling at the site where the Elder Mystic disappeared into the ground, and she is similarly swallowed up. The sapling, now known as the One Tree, sprouts a leaf, and the Periphery Bind is recreated. Alexei decides to stay alive with Zita at his side and help to rule the new land that has been created now that the buildings of South Wood have been torn down by the Ivy. Roger Swindon is never found, having escaped his cell in the Bandit Hideout, but months later his Caliph robe is found outside a coyote warren. The orphans of the former Unthank Home are taken in by the Bandits and begin training to become Bandits themselves. In Portland, Curtis and his sisters are reunited with their overjoyed parents, who have finally returned from searching for Curtis in Europe. They understand that Curtis has to return to his fellow Bandits, but because the whole family are "half-breeds" (it is never explained how this came about), they can visit him in Wildwood any time. In Portland, Prue's parents get on with life with their son Mac but continue to mourn their lost daughter. One day, they find a sapling growing in their yard and begin to nurture it. It grows several feet a day, and then one morning is gone. In its place is Prue. She tells them of her adventures, and the whole family settles in for some hot chocolate. ===== The wealthy Steve Battier (Rutger Hauer) is desperate to find a way to stay alive, as he is both elderly and terminally ill.

The Moon Men are devoted to a "Moon Goddess" Oma (Helen Stanton), who is apparently an immortal whose only weakness is sunlight. Marro is chosen to be Oma's chief religious official. After being joined by Marsten's friend Bob Prentice (Bill Henry), the team of Weissmuller, Marstern, and Prentice, set off for Baku. They find Marro and urge him to escape. However, he dies the moment he steps outside the parameters of the jungle. Interrogating a pygmy Damu (Billy Curtis), Weissmuller learns that Marro was fed a voodoo potion that would kill him once he tried to escape Baku. Just then, the Moon Men overpower the team and capture them. Prentice is selected to take over Marro's position, while Weissmuller and Marstern are brought to Oma's temple. There, they are stopped by Santo (Myron Healey) and his right-hand man Max (Frank Sully). The evil duo command Weissmuller to lead them into the temple. They meet Oma and also find loads of precious stones in the building. Knowing that not everybody can leave Baku, Weissmuller sacrifices himself for the rest. He asks Prentice to contact the police as soon as he gets to the mainland. Santo pockets a large amount of the jewels and turns to flee. The Moon Men stop him, letting loose a pride of vicious lions. Santo and Max are gorily killed, while the rest manage to escape. With not much time left, Weissmuller requests for Oma to reveal a fast exit route from Baku. She reluctantly tells him but crumbles into fine dust after being dragged by the explorer to the sunny open. After returning to civilisation, Prentice kvetches about the absence of any evidence to prove Baku's existence. However, Weissmuller's pet chimpanzee Kimba (Rory Mallinson) is shown to have taken a diamond pendant with him. ===== Josh Wheaton, a college student and Evangelical Christian, enrolls in a philosophy class taught by Professor Jeffrey Radisson, an atheist. Radisson demands his students sign a declaration that "God is dead" to pass. Josh is the only student who refuses. Radisson requires Josh to debate the topic with him but agrees to let his other students decide the winner. In the first two debates, Radisson has counter-arguments for all of Josh's points. Josh's girlfriend Kara demands Josh either sign the statement or drop Radisson's class, because standing up to Radisson will jeopardize their academic future. When Josh refuses, Kara breaks up with him. In the final debate, Josh halts his line of debate to ask Radisson: "Why do you hate God?" Radisson explodes in rage, confirming he hates God for his mother's death. Josh asks Radisson how he can hate someone that does not exist. Martin, a Chinese student whose father forbids him from talking about God to avoid jeopardizing Martin's brother's chance at overseas study, stands up and says, "God's not dead." Most of the class follows Martin's lead, and Radisson leaves the room in defeat. Radisson dates Mina, an evangelical whom he belittles in front of his fellow atheist colleagues. Her brother Mark, a successful businessman and atheist, refuses to visit their mother, who suffers from dementia. Mark's girlfriend Amy is a left-wing blogger who writes articles critical of Duck Dynasty. When Amy is diagnosed with cancer, Mark dumps her. A Muslim student, Ayisha, secretly converts to Christianity and is disowned by her infuriated father when he finds out. Josh invites Martin to attend a Newsboys concert.

On his way to find Mina, Radisson is struck by a car and fatally injured. A reverend waiting at the intersection tends to Radisson and helps him as he dies. Mark at last visits his mother, but taunts her; she responds that his financial success was given to him by Satan to keep him from turning to God, then she doesn't remember his name.

Each chapter tells its own coherent narrative, but the years, settings, and points of view of the chapters jump around. ===== 13-year-old Logan Langly is wanted by DOME (the Department of Marked Emergencies) for escaping after he flunked his citizenship Pledge. After spending a month running from DOME and hiding in the woods, he finds that the political situation in his section of the American Union, formerly the United States, has worsened quickly. Not only is the country now a part of the Global Union, but DOME is cracking down on the Unmarked—those who have refused to Pledge—and arresting them for any crime, however minor. Those arrested are never heard from again. And Logan, it appears, is the source of the problem. As the only Unmarked person to have escaped a Pledge, his very existence is both an embarrassment and a threat to the government, which is determined to hunt him down. Even the Unmarked are divided in their attitudes toward Logan. Some of them respect him for taking action against DOME, but others resent the trouble he has caused. Logan wants to avoid arrest for more than one reason. His sister Lily disappeared after her Pledge five years earlier, and Logan believes she is being held in a prison called Acheron in Beacon City, the capital of the American Union. He is determined to rescue her, no matter the cost. Lily's old friend Daniel Peck wants to aid in the rescue, but his friends, the Dust, are not so keen on the idea. Logan's actions in Swipe cost them their home—twice—and they object to the risk of getting involved with him again, especially since Logan's plan will require, at the very least, a dangerous cross-country trip. Meanwhile, Erin Arbitor discovers that all her efforts to help catch Peck and reform Logan have failed to save her father's job. She had envisioned a happy family reunion in Beacon City, but now her parents' marriage seems even worse, and Logan seems to be gone forever. Erin has one hope left. She knows that Logan wants to find his sister in Beacon City. If Erin can find Lily, then Logan should not be far behind. But Erin's hacking investigation turns up some information that she did not expect—information that could, if ignored, jeopardize Logan and Peck's rescue mission. Erin's past betrayals make it difficult for Logan and Peck to trust her again. But, in the end, Erin is the only one who understands the true nature of Acheron. ===== Wealthy drug dealer Miles Montego meets a nice Christian girl, Vanessa Leon, at a mutual friend's house, and the two hit it off and start a relationship.

She is the oldest in a family of two girls and three boys. All the children live with their mother and stepfather, Richie, in a tiny two-bedroom house. The children share one bedroom. There is one bathroom, and Richie has removed the door and will not allow a curtain for privacy. Richie is physically and emotionally abusive to the mother and often drunk. The children live in terror of him. Eleanor does not own a toothbrush or properly fitting clothes. She patches her clothes in bright colors, wears ribbons in her hair, and creates strange clothing combinations, over which her fellow students bully her. Eleanor has just returned after sleeping on the couch of a family friend since Richie threw her out a year earlier. Park Sheridan has lived in Omaha his whole life. While his family is not affluent, and his parents come from very different backgrounds, his home is filled with love. While his father is tall and "masculine", Park takes after his mother in appearance and is shorter than his younger brother. Park believes he is a disappointment and is unenthusiastic about taekwondo, which his father values. Park is instead interested in alternative music and comics. He feels insecure about his size and Asian heritage, despite getting along with the popular kids at school. On Eleanor's first day at her new school, the students find her weird. They rearrange their seats on the school bus to get her yelled at by the driver. When Eleanor is about to cry, Park rudely offers her a seat. They have a few classes together during which Park notices Eleanor is one of the smartest students in class. They begin to connect. Eleanor is regularly bullied at school.

One night, Eleanor hears gunshots and calls 911, but the police believe Richie's lies over her report.

Park professes his love for Eleanor, making her uncomfortable. Her first meeting with his parents, especially his mother, does not go well. Park gets into a fight with Steve, who was bullying Eleanor, and lands a taekwondo kick to Steve's mouth. Park's nose is broken in return. His mother grounds him "forever", thinking Eleanor is leading Park into trouble. Park's father, on the other hand, is proud of Park and understands that Richie is an abusive alcoholic. After seeing Eleanor's family, Park's mother invites Eleanor to stay at their house. Eleanor accepts and lies to her family about it. Eleanor's uncle offers to take Eleanor to Minnesota for the summer so she can attend a program for gifted teens, but Richie says no. One night, Park's mom tells the kids to go on a date.

Carrying the 32 signs of greatness and predicted to be the savior of humankind by some, and a mighty king of kings by others, Siddhartha proved both the prophesies to be true. In his growing years, he was the ideal warrior prince, the pride of his father’s eyes and later to his lovely wife Yashodhara, he was the devoted and sensitive husband that all women dream of, but few are blessed with. Despite his father’s extreme protection of him from seeing suffering of any kind, lest he move towards fulfilling the latter prophecy of him being a thinker and philosopher, even as a child, Siddhartha, by his very nature, ever-questioned and pondered about all phenomena around him. Siddhartha wondered about all things- from social to physical and natural to man-made, and he was hugely compassionate and uncompetitive by nature. Siddhartha’s questions were not born out of the natural curiosity of a young boy about the world around, but of a deeply rational yet philosophical concern for the state of the world that he saw around him, and his devastation was compounded in his youth when the wall of protection from seeing suffering that his father had built around him, crumbled. It was an enlightenment, that shone not only his path on earth, but also showed the way forward for all mankind, that would illuminate the world with his teachings for thousands of years to come, as it gave birth to the Buddha-a word that today symbolizes truth, peace, love, compassion and righteousness that he stood for, like no other. It is no wonder then that there is a revival of the relevance of Buddha’s teachings and beliefs in the modern world. Most of the early episodes in the series center around the plotting of Dronadhan, Mangala, and Devadatta - the uncle, aunt, and cousin (brother) of Siddhartha - to undermine King Shuddhodana and kill Siddhartha. Their plots always fail, and the goodness of Siddhartha always wins and grows. Much of this drama as shown in the series is not actually part of the Buddha historical writings. Though Devadatta did have a rivalry with Siddhartha, it wasn't to the extent as shown in the series, where Devadatta and his parents abuse and kill numerous people. The series also shows an extreme rivalry between Siddhartha and Devadatta for the hand in marriage of Yashodhara, even to the point of a fighting contest to determine the best warrior. However, in genuine history, Yashodhara was actually Devadatta's sister. Still, the character of Siddhartha is dramatic and moving in many ways, and shows his deep respect for all life, whether it be a person, cheetah, duck, ant or scorpion, to whom he always shows forgiveness and mercy. ===== Doctor Nicola Pischella is an unrepentant womanizer who systematically cheats on his jealous wife Lucia between visits to his dental office.

In contrast to his older brother's cautious and responsible personality, second son Dae-poong is a playboy doctor who gets out of scrapes with his boyish charm. He runs a small clinic right above Jin-poong's pharmacy, with one employee, nurse Kim Bok-shil. Bok-shil doesn't have any family and lives by herself in an apartment in the neighborhood, and comes by to the Song household daily to help their mother cook and clean. Dae-poong takes Bok-shil for granted, not knowing that she's a little bit in love with him. Third son Sun-poong is a vegetarian and animal-lover who works as a news reporter at broadcast station KBC. He's earnest, sweet, honest, and a little dense when it comes to romance. Sun-poong's direct boss, TV station director Oh Young-dal sets him up with his daughter, newcomer actress Eun-ji. Eun-ji has a spoiled princess complex and she doesn't think Sun-poong is her type, but when he doesn't seem interested in her, her ego takes a blow and his obliviousness makes him attractive to her.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Green (Corin Nemic) the son of the Mayor (Edgar Allan Poe IV) of the small island town of White Sands returns home to throw a party. At the same time the local sheriff John Stone (Eric Scott Woods) is investigating the deaths of the men from earlier believing it to be a murder. Years prior to the events John's wife and child along with 13 other people were murdered in a shark fling at a party Jimmy threw and doesn't believe they are dealing with it again. John's sister, Deputy Brenda Stone (Vanessa Evigan), contacts a shark expert against her brother's wishes. A couple is devoured by a sand shark and on the other side of the beach as Jimmy is preparing for a layout with Willie (Delpaneaux Wills), Erin (Hilary Cruz) and Amanda Gore (Gina Holden) is confronted by John and Brenda (the latter had a previous fling with Jimmy and is not happy to see him). Just then, a couple having fun on the beach are both attacked by a sand shark causing panic. At a town meeting, the locals can't afford to have the beaches closed as the town is already in a financial crisis. A man named Angus McSorely (Robert Pike Daniel) tells them they are dealing with actual sand sharks that can swim through sand and offers to take care of them for the town, but is written off as crazy. Sandy Powers (Brooke Hogan), the shark expert Brenda called, was watching the meeting and has a talk with John while examining a shark tooth. At night two men are being stalked by a sand shark while on their raft in the water. They try to escape but the shark moves on land and devours them. Fearing his party may be cancelled, Jimmy calls someone to bring an already dead shark but because the tooth found does not match the dead shark, the beach must stay closed. After a power outage caused by the shark, Brenda arrests Jimmy and we learn of their relationship from before the film's events. They spot John on the beach with three guys at gun point as one of them brought a fake shark to fool him into keeping the beaches open. After seeing a dorsal fin moving in the sand they all realize the old man was right. Sparky (Jack Kennedy) who brought the fake shark does not hear the others telling him to get off the sand as he was trying to get the power back on and is killed by the shark who ultimately dies after chomping on the electrical cable causing it to explode and turn to glass. With the threat gone the beaches are reopen and the party is back on. However the tooth found earlier is only a baby tooth and Sandy believes the dead shark's mother is out there looking for its baby. With the party underway it is revealed there are more sand sharks as both Amanda and Willie are killed by one. More sand sharks appear and start killing the party goers and Brenda is also killed trying to get people off the beach. John and Sandy are stuck on rocks where the sharks can't get to them and the sharks attack the docks with few casualties as Angus shows up to get the people out of there. With the ferry not showing up for another day, Jimmy, John, Angus and Sandy take one final stand against the sand sharks using Jimmy's speakers, napalm and Angus' homemade flamethrower. Unfortunately, the music stops and Jimmy goes to fix the speakers but the wire is torn and the sand sharks swarm Jimmy, who sacrifices himself so the sharks stay in one place as Angus encases them all in glass. With the sand sharks now encased in glass, the threat appears to be gone, but a large dorsal fin is seen moving in the sand in the cliff above. The mother of the sand sharks bursts through the side and eats Angus. Trapped in Angus' hut John and Sandy make one last effort to kill the mother by tossing a flamethrower full of napalm into her mouth. As they escape the hut, the flamethrower explodes, destroying the shark and the hut at the same time. Back at the trailer where Erin was hiding after a shark killed Willie in front of her, she is talking to someone who wants to throw a beach party, but is killed by the same shark that ate Willie as it was waiting for her the entire time, hinting that the threat is not over. ===== While Kenzi, Hale, and Dyson, are all living their lives, Bo is nowhere to be found.

His father, Juan "Johnny" Bravo, raised him trying to make him fearless by making a tarantula walk on Valentin and throwing him off a high oceanside cliff known as La Quebrada. When his father locked Valentín in a crypt at a cemetery, Valentín began to resent his father and ran away after stating that he no longer loves him. Valentín grows up to be Acapulco's local playboy and sleeps with every tourist that crosses his path. One day a former fling named Julie shows up at his doorstep with a baby girl, claiming that she is his daughter. Julie leaves the baby with Valentín after asking him for cab fare, but she doesn't come back. After receiving a phone call from Julie in which she says she is not prepared to raise a child, Valentín races to the airport to try to return the baby to Julie but fails to catch up to her before she boards her flight to Los Angeles. Valentín leaves Acapulco with the baby, Maggie, and hitchhikes across Mexico toward Tijuana. After being turned back at the US border, he crosses by being smuggled in a hidden compartment in a transport truck along with numerous other Mexicans. Going only by a single photo of Julie in which a Los Angeles hotel is visible in the background, Valentín visits the hotel to track down Julie. However, when Maggie wanders to a nearby pool, Valentín ends up jumping out of a hotel presidential suite into the pool 10 stories below, rescuing his daughter. A movie director witnesses this event and hires Valentín as a stuntman — a job which Valentín accepts since he believes it is the only way he can support Maggie. An unlikely father figure, Valentín raises Maggie for six years, giving her a happy, fun, and carefree home. Meanwhile, he also establishes himself as one of Hollywood's top stuntmen to pay the bills, with Maggie acting as his on-set coach and translator as Valentín still doesn't know any English. As Valentín raises Maggie, she forces him to grow up too in his large fears, though he does it only for her own fun. Meanwhile, during a visit to the doctor in which he receives an injection, the doctor confides in Valentín — with Maggie out of earshot — that the treatments aren't working. To hide from Maggie the fact that her mother abandoned her, Valentín writes weekly letters to Maggie from her, detailing various adventures and feats around the world to explain her absence. But Maggie wishes to meet her mother, so Valentín goes to his director, and looks for an actress to play "Julie". Before the casting is complete, Valentín gets a call from Julie saying that she is in Los Angeles and wants to meet. Julie, now in a relationship with a woman, tries to be a part of Maggie's life again, along with her partner Renee who she lives with in New York City, but after a tearful departure at the airport Julie realizes she doesn't want to just see Maggie during visits and holidays. She files for custody and cites Valentín's dangerous job and lack of English skills as reasons that he is unfit to raise Maggie. Valentín's sincerity and the story of his daring ten-story jump convince the judge that he has Maggie's best interest at heart, and he awards custody to Valentin as he is the only parent she has really known. Not backing down, Julie asks for a DNA test which proves Valentín isn't the father after all. Valentín ends up losing legal custody of Maggie, but they sneak away and decide to go back to Acapulco where he reunites with his friends, although he discovers that his father died a few years ago. Julie and Renee threaten Valentín's director to bully him into revealing Valentín's location, who repeatedly claims he doesn't know where the father and daughter are. Eventually he relents and states that Valentín has woken up every day not knowing if it would be the last day he would see his daughter, but the details are not revealed on-screen. Julie finds Valentín and Maggie on the beach and has surprisingly dropped her attempts to gain custody. Instead, the three enjoy time together as a family in Acapulco while in a voice-over Valentín narrates how doctors can sometimes discover a heart defect for which there is no cure and which could kill the patient any time. As Valentín and Julie sit on the beach with Maggie falling asleep in Valentín's lap, Maggie peacefully passes away, which reveals that she, not Valentín, was the one with the heart defect. One year later, Valentín is seen walking down the beach, with a dog but without Julie. Valentin now understands his father's motives in wanting to give him the courage to face his fears by preparing him to meet them, and expresses gratitude to Maggie for teaching him to face life without being ready. The film ends with a vision of Maggie playing in heaven with her grandfather, while Valentin concludes that even in their absence, his father and daughter continue to teach him how to face life. ===== Nurse Cratty's orphanage is evacuated due to shelling, and Cratty and the children stay with the 4077th. Arriving at the camp, the children, in groups of two or three, are billeted in the tents alongside the 4077th staff. Frank Burns is not happy with the disruption, fearing for the security of his Purple Heart, awarded after he received a 'shell fragment' in his eye (an eggshell fragment from a boiled egg rather than an explosive device). B.J. tells the orphans staying in the Swamp a bedtime story of Androcles and the Lion. They're asleep before he finishes the tale, but Hawkeye insists B.J. finish the story. Colonel Potter's bedtime story to his charges is taken directly from a gun maintenance manual. A group of girls bedding down in the officer's club would rather play the piano than sleep. The last person from the orphanage to arrive is a young heavily pregnant woman whom Nurse Cratty was caring for, who stops en route to visit her in-laws. She arrives at the camp late at night, collapsing, having been shot. The doctors operate to save her life and deliver her baby. As they both recover in post-op, Hawkeye and B.J. award the baby with Frank's Purple Heart. After a few days it's safe for Nurse Cratty and the children to return. As the staff are saying their goodbyes to the children, Radar is looking for one boy in particular—to retrieve his teddy bear from him. He gives the boy a substitute teddy bear instead. ===== Everyone is frustrated by the unrelenting hot weather, and Hawkeye and B.J. are bored with the movies the unit is sent. After reading about a newly released movie The Moon Is Blue and its supposedly salacious content in a Boston newspaper, they decide it's the movie they want sent to the camp. They are determined to get their hands on this film, despite being warned not to get their expectations up by Charles Winchester, who tells them not to put too much stock in the fact that the film is "Banned in Boston" because Boston would ban Pinocchio. They attempt to pull strings with the delivery driver, Corporal Bannister, in exchange for pills (placebos sent to the hospital in error) to help him control his nerves in advance of a date. He leads them to Major Frankenheimer, who agrees to send the movie if Hawkeye and B.J. can get hold of a copy on his behalf. When the movie arrives, Frankenheimer goes against his word and schedules the movie to be sent to his "A-list" first. Bannister helps them by switching labels on the movie can with State Fair, only to have the switch backfire when their request for the film is approved and State Fair is sent to camp. Some weeks later, The Moon Is Blue arrives at the camp and is screened to a full house. Hawkeye and B.J. are disappointed by its lack of promised sexually explicit content. Hawkeye declares that he's never seen a cleaner movie in his life. Father Mulcahy points out that "One of the actors did say 'virgin'", to which Hawkeye replies, exasperated, "That's because everyone was!" ===== Murugappa 'Munaruna' is a Tamil worker in 1960s Burma.

This whole episode is shown to be a flashback of her previous life by Madhumitha 'Madhu' who is undergoing regression therapy to relieve work stress. Back in Dr. Radhika's office in present-day India, Madhu claims that it is the story of her previous life and she has already met Saamuda and Mallika as Jagan and Meera, who are fellow programmers in the same gaming company. Radhika dismisses this and gives Madhu medicine for stress. Madhu meets Ashwin, a new employee in her company, and realizes his resemblance to Munaruna and flirts with him. Kiran is their boss and he knows to extract work from employees with ease. Meera hallucinates about ghosts that try to rape her and she jumps from the office window and dies. Madhu is disturbed and attends her therapy sessions with Radhika when she remembers her first birth. Madhu and Ashwin meet with a car accident and Madhu is admitted in a hospital. She dreams about overhearing a policeman Gopinath's conversation about Kaali and Kalyani, when she intervenes and says that she knows their whereabouts. Once awake, she recites the dream to the policemen in the hospital and they are confused. Police commissioner Gopinath visits her and Madhu realizes that he looks like the police from her dream.

Gopinath finds a ring engraved with letter R on one of the skeletons. Ashwin is confused as to what R may mean. Madhu returns to her therapy, and Kiran hears about her hallucinations and rushes to the clinic. Madhu hallucinates about her third birth, where she is Kalyani, a Brahmin girl who falls in love with a rowdy Kaali and her father forcefully arranges her marriage with RaviKiran when Kaali is in jail after murdering a rowdy. Kaali escapes from prison and meets Kalyani and they plan to elope, but RaviKiran finds out and offers to help them. He takes them to a secluded spot where he murders Kaali and Kalyani out of jealousy and buries them. The finger with the ring belongs to RaviKiran and is amputated by Kaali during the fight. RaviKiran buries it along with dead bodies, unknowingly. In the present, Kiran is RaviKiran in his youth. When he finds out that, as a child, Madhu learned the truth of Kali and Kalyani's death from Kalyani's father, he kidnaps and tries to kill her. Soon Kiran kills Kalyani's father. Ashwin finds video games whose plots resemble the stories of Madhu's previous births and Meera's hallucination and death. He finds a drug that the employees have been using to boost memory. He realizes that Kiran has been giving illegal drugs his employees to boost their creativity so that he can profit with uniquely themed, intense games. As a side effect of the drug, his employees hallucinate. Ashwin confronts Kiran, and in the ensuing fight, Kiran overpowers Ashwin. But Ashwin manages to defeat him later, he saves Madhu and Kiran is killed when a knife Ashwin threw into a tree falls onto Kiran's chest. Gopinath covers up the death as suicide, stating that Kiran killed himself for the illegal activities.

Openly critical of the United States, he secretly tasks Russian domestic intelligence (FSB) with staging false flag attacks in an effort to justify an invasion of Ukraine. A bomb is detonated in a restaurant in Russia, killing Russian foreign intelligence (SVR) head Stanislav Biryukov; simultaneously, former SVR head Sergey Golovko falls ill to polonium poisoning while visiting his old friend, President Jack Ryan, in the White House. Volodin accuses the American government of orchestrating the recent incidents, and then announces the merger of the SVR and the FSB into one entity led by Roman Talanov, the mysterious head of FSB. In Sevastopol, a CIA special mission compound comes under attack from pro-Russia protesters aided by FSB proxy agents. Campus operatives John Clark, Domingo "Ding" Chavez, and Dominic "Dom" Caruso, who are on the ground in Ukraine to gather intelligence on Russian criminal organization Seven Strong Men and its head Gleb the Scar, take part in defending the compound in a tense battle between the protesters and Delta Force operators guarding the compound. Even though the compound's cover as a State Department facility was preserved, Volodin nevertheless decides to invade Ukraine, intent on pushing his troops all the way to the capital of Kiev. President Ryan sends a few military troops to assist Ukrainian soldiers in the conflict with Russian forces as well as to prevent them from reaching Kiev. Meanwhile, Jack Ryan Jr. has been distancing himself from The Campus after its breach by the Chinese a year ago by working in a corporate analysis company based in London. While investigating a case involving a large theft of money by Russian state-owned companies from British businessman Malcolm Galbraith, he is tasked by his father with finding out information about the codename "Bedrock" and its connection to a mysterious KGB assassin codenamed Zenith during the Cold War, amidst rumors that Talanov is the assassin in question. Even amongst attacks from Seven Strong Men thugs, Ryan Junior finds out that Bedrock is former MI5 "illegal" Victor Oxley, who was tasked by British intelligence with tracking down and eliminating Zenith, who is indeed Talanov. Oxley had crossed paths with his father, then a CIA analyst investigating the murders on behalf of British foreign intelligence, in West Berlin just before he got caught by the East German Stasi; he was then shipped off to the KGB and imprisoned in a gulag for years. When Ryan finds out that the Zenith affair was connected to his case involving Galbraith, he (along with Oxley and fellow Campus operatives Chavez, Caruso and Sam Driscoll) confronts his boss Hugh Castor in his chalet outside Zurich, Switzerland. Castor was revealed to be Oxley's former handler in British intelligence who had been doing business with Talanov for years in exchange for Oxley going off the grid. He also reveals that Talanov is essentially the leader of the Seven Strong Men (making him expendable to the criminal organization since he was KGB), and that Dmitri Nesterov is Gleb the Scar who is directly involved in Golovko's death. However, Spetsnaz forces sent by Talanov attack the chalet and kill Oxley and Castor. Ryan and his Campus operators manage to dispatch the attackers and flee the scene. Back in Kiev, Clark, Chavez, Caruso, and Driscoll aid Delta Force operators in capturing Nesterov in the Seven Strong Men's heavily-guarded base of operations. Having been fully informed by his son, President Ryan talks to Volodin, demanding the halt of the Russian Army's advance into Kiev in exchange for Volodin not to be linked with the Seven Strong Men. Russia ceases operations in Ukraine and pulls back. Two days later, Talanov resigns from his position and is subsequently murdered by one of his own guards. ===== A group of workers live in the orbit of Jupiter, where they assist in ongoing scientific research.

The head of the squad, Nikolay Pasechnik, is a shockworker of Socialist Labour and reputed to be a darling of the women and a quick wit. Welder Katerina Petrashen', working on the construction site as well, is to be considered a pretty girl of easy virtue: she smokes (considered as an immoral act), is not a member of the Komsomol, likes party-coloured dresses and behaves provocatively. After Nikolay and Katerina got to know each other, they develop a mutual interest. Intrigues of the building site manager, who goes on a business trip at the most crucial moment of blast-furnace tube rising and who shifted then the responsibility for the failure on to the engineer, cost Nikolay his health.

Jeeves has also asked Seppings, the butler of Bertie's aunt, to help stage the production. Problems arise both in the story Bertie is narrating and the play as it is being performed, and Jeeves intervenes to make sure all ends well. In addition to narrating, Bertie plays himself in the story. Jeeves and Seppings each play multiple characters. In addition to playing himself, Jeeves plays Sir Watkyn Bassett, an imposing silver-collector who, as a magistrate, once fined Bertie five pounds for stealing a policeman's helmet as a prank; Madeline Bassett, Sir Watkyn's excessively sentimental daughter; Gussie Fink- Nottle, a shy young man who studies newts and is engaged to Madeline; and Stiffy Byng, the scheming ward and niece of Sir Watkyn Bassett. Seppings plays himself as well as Bertie's Aunt Dahlia, the genial, loud-voiced woman who employs Seppings; Roderick Spode, a crony of Bassett and aspiring dictator; Constable Oates, the local policeman who feuds with Stiffy Byng over her dog; Butterfield, the polite butler employed by Bassett; and an unnamed antique- shop proprietor who sells a cow-creamer to Bassett. In the story recounted by Bertie, Bertie's uncle, a collector of silver and rival to Sir Watkyn Bassett, has arranged to buy a silver cow-creamer, but Bassett acquires the object first by underhanded means. Bertie's Aunt Dahlia tells Bertie to go Bassett's country house, Totleigh Towers, to steal the cow-creamer. She gets Bertie to agree by threatening to withhold her brilliant chef's cooking if he refuses, though Bertie is nervous about Bassett and his intimidating associate Spode, who are both suspicious of Bertie. Meanwhile, a rift occurs between Bertie's friend Gussie and Gussie's fiancée Madeline. This puts Bertie in danger since Madeline incorrectly believes Bertie wants to marry her, and he is expected to marry her if she drops Gussie. Gussie secretly writes insults about Bassett and Spode in a notebook, but loses the notebook and worries about what will happen if they read it. Stiffy Byng schemes to get her uncle's approval to marry a penniless curate whom she loves, and to divest her enemy Constable Oates of his helmet. Despite various challenges and mishaps, Bertie manages to tell the story of his weekend at Totleigh Towers with the assistance of Jeeves and Seppings. The conflicts in Bertie's narrative are resolved and the story is concluded. Lastly, Bertie, Jeeves, and Seppings perform a comical Charleston dance routine. ===== As described in a film review, a father reads the story of Undine to his girl from a book.

After several unsuccessful attempts to continue past the invisible barrier, the woman turns back to the lodge with the dog. Along the way she approaches a farmhouse, but again is prevented by the invisible wall from making contact with the two owners who appear frozen in time. Back at the lodge, the woman grows increasingly depressed over her predicament. After exploring the area again with binoculars, she concludes that the couple at the farmhouse, as well as all the people in the village, must be dead.

As Holmes spends time with Roger, showing him how to take care of the bees in the farmhouse's apiary, he comes to appreciate Roger's curiosity and intelligence and develops a paternal liking for him. Over time, Roger's prodding helps Holmes remember the case (shown in flashbacks); he knows he must have failed somehow, as it resulted in his retirement from the detective business. Almost 30 years earlier, after the First World War had ended and Watson had married and left Baker Street, Thomas Kelmot approached Holmes to find out why his wife Ann had become estranged from him after suffering two miscarriages. Holmes followed Ann around London and observed her seemingly preparing to murder her husband – forging cheques in her husband's name and cashing them, confirming the details of his will, buying poison, paying a man, and checking train schedules. Holmes, however, deduced her true intentions: to have gravestones made for her and her miscarried children (the man she paid was a stonemason) and then kill herself. Confronting her, Holmes confessed he had the same feelings of loneliness and isolation, but his intellectual pursuits sufficed for him. Ann asked Holmes if they could share the burden of their loneliness together. Holmes was tempted, but instead advised her to return to her husband. She poured the poison on the ground, thanked Holmes, and departed. Holmes later learned that Ann persisted in killing herself by stepping in front of an oncoming train. Blaming himself, he retired and fell into a deep depression. Watson briefly returns to care for him and, discovering the details of the case, rewrites the tragedy into a success. A second series of flashbacks recounts Holmes' recent trip to Japan, where he met a supposed admirer named Tamiki Umezaki who had told him of the benefits of prickly ash. In fact, Umezaki had a hidden motive for meeting Holmes. Years before, Umezaki's anglophile father had traveled to England. In a letter, the father wrote that he had been advised by the brilliant Holmes to remain there permanently, abandoning his wife and son. Holmes bluntly told Umezaki that his father simply wanted a new life for himself and that Holmes had never met him. Umezaki was crushed. In the present, Mrs Munro gradually becomes dissatisfied with her work, as Holmes's overall health deteriorates and he spends more time with her son. After he becomes unconscious from an experiment with the prickly ash, he requires more nursing care. Mrs Munro accepts a job at a hotel in Portsmouth, planning to take Roger to work there as well. Roger does not want to go, feeling attached to Holmes and being unhappy with his barely literate mother and his family's working-class status, thus tension develops between mother and son. Holmes and Mrs Munro later discover Roger lying unconscious near the house, a victim of multiple stings, and he is rushed to a hospital. Distraught, Mrs Munro tries to burn down the apiary, blaming Holmes for caring only about himself and his bees. Holmes stops her, having realised that Roger had been stung by wasps; Roger found their nest and tried to drown them to protect the bees, but they swarmed on him instead. Holmes and Mrs Munro burn down the wasp nest together, and Roger regains consciousness. Holmes tells Mrs Munro how he was too fearful to open himself to act as a caring person with Ann Kelmot, and that he wants Mrs Munro and Roger to stay in his life, leaving them his house and possessions after his death. Holmes writes his first work of fiction: a letter to Umezaki, telling him that his father was a brave, honourable man who worked secretly and effectively for the British Empire. As Roger begins to teach his mother how to care for the bees, Holmes emulates a tradition he saw being practiced in Hiroshima: creating a ring of stones to serve as a place where he can recall the loved ones he has lost over the years. ===== The story centers on ogre-like demon who works under , the King and Head Judge of Hell who determines what kind of hell the dead will be sent to.

When Loretta questions how Robin will care for her children if she cannot cook, Robin admits that she cannot have children, something Barney reveals to his mother that Robin had confessed to him the previous fall. He tells Loretta that he is marrying Robin because she is more important to him than his desire to start a family one day. Lily tries to comfort Robin by suggesting that Robin's mother can show Loretta up when she arrives, only for Robin to reveal that her mother was too afraid to get on a plane and will not come to the wedding.

Lily tackles Billy and they confront him; he confesses that the "bad guy" roles he played in the 1980s led to widespread revilement, and being temporarily promoted as best man was a rare affirmation of his character, and he intended to be the 'good guy' by finding a replacement for the photo.

Not only do the stories differ, but also the depictions and interpretations of fleet girls and the manner in which they engage in combat. The game does not strictly define anything relating to its setting, allowing for a greater diversity of secondary literary adaptation works which cater to different audiences, and more artistic freedom among secondary works which can approach the setting of Kantai Collection differently. Kadokawa has not officially announced whether any secondary work is absolute canon, nor have they released significant quantities of canonical material, with some official works even contradicting one another. For instance, some manga anthology depictions show the ship girls as ship-sized giants, while other serialised manga show them as human-sized. The television animation explains the ship girls as humans born with the ability to possess the spirits of World War II warships, while within the Bonds of the Wings of Cranes light novel, the girls refer to themselves as actual warships, and that their origin is unknown. =====
