Ryu Yamada is known as a delinquent in his high school; he has been bored of classes after one year of attending school. One day, he accidentally falls from a flight of stairs onto Urara Shiraishi, the ace student of the school. Yamada wakes up to find that he has swapped bodies with her. The two try to reverse the change and discover that kissing triggers the body swap. On the suggestion of student council vice-president Toranosuke Miyamura, they revive the Supernatural Studies club. The supernatural-phenomenon-obsessed Miyabi Itou soon joins the club. The club encounters other "witches" with different powers that are activated with a kiss on the lips. A transfer student, Kentaro Tsubaki, becomes a part of the club after nearly causing a fire to the old schoolhouse. Upon discovering the identity of the seventh witch, Rika Saionji, Yamada supposedly has his memories of the witches erased, but it instead affects the witches and the students involved. While the student council tries to impede his progress, Yamada restores the memories of the witches with a kiss, and gathers the seven witches for a ceremony where he wishes for the powers to go away. He confesses his love to Urara and they become a couple.
He is recruited to the new student council where he learns that he still has his witch copying power, but that there are more witches. Although the student council tries to shield each other from the powers while discovering and allying with the witches, they find themselves facing opposition from students controlled by the Shogi (japanese chess) club, which has male students with new kinds of witch powers. The student council receives a vote of no confidence and must face a recall election. In the process of infiltrating the Japanese chess club, Yamada learns of a witch who was connected to his past. He works a deal with childhood friend-turned-rival Ushio Igarashi where he wishes for his memories to return; in exchange, Ushio would take seventh witch Nancy's ability. When the Japanese chess club continues to manipulate the campaign, Yamada uses his copied seventh witch power to erase the recent events, but Ushio beats him to the punch and they are both forgotten by the students.
Yamada returns to the Supernatural Studies club as the school has to deal with new witches following the new school year. He also learns there are gaps in his and his schoolmates' memories of what happened at the end of his first school year, including those of whom he was dating at the time. Yamada then tries to find out the truth of what happened. He ultimately gathers the male witches to hold a ceremony to restore everyone's memories. As he goes through his senior year of high school, he plans to apply to a prestigious university. However, when Urara suddenly disappears from his life along with the witches powers and everyone else's memories of her, Yamada discovers she was the original witch. Urara had agreed to the witch powers in order to have a relationship with Yamada, but on the condition that her memories of him to be erased again when she leaves school. However, when she returns at graduation, Yamada finds a way to get her to remember again.
Ten years later, Yamada has become a successful businessman who is looked up to by his coworkers and keeps in touch with his high school friends, but has yet to propose to Urara. The two get married and some years later, share their story with their two children.

The story begins in a dark and gloomy city in Sweden, with Simon waking up in an alley after being struck by a car while trying to help an injured man. Waking up in an alley, he tries to make his way home, but deformed monsters attack him. After failing to call the police, he receives a text from a man pleading for help. When he enters and searches an apartment block, he finds the man dead in his bathtub. Progressing further as the apartment building slowly grows more run down and eventually covered in blood, he is attacked by a monster with a chainsaw that decapitates itself upon defeat, prompting Simon to vomit and pass out. He wakes up near a cryptic and violent doctor who says that he cannot trust Simon. After exploring the city and facing threats along the way, he finds Sophie, his childhood friend and love interest, on a rooftop. Simon attempts to confess his love to her, but she rejects his advances and commits suicide by jumping off the roof. A monster known as Carcass appears and Simon can either kill it or flee from it back into the building. Simon continues on his journey home and fails to enter a subway station because he lacks a fuse. He goes to a college to collect a fuse but is ambushed by monsters upon finding it. He escapes to the station and enters it successfully where he once again encounters the doctor, who had just shot someone in the head, and gives chase where his progress is blocked by a door needing two more fuses. Journeying back to the apartment he enters the previously chained up apartment and, after a long hallway where he hears a doctor describing an encounter with his patient and being attacked yet again, finds the fuses. While attempting to retrieve the fuses again to open a gate for a train, he enters another nightmare where he is chased through a maze by monsters hanging from the ceiling, escaping through a door that opens back up to a completely different hallway. Boarding the train, Simon is once again attacked by monsters and the train eventually crashes and derails, causing him to lose all of his belongings. As it is about to fall off a cliff, Simon escapes narrowly and finds himself in a dark forest. Deep in the forest Simon discovers an Asylum as the doctor enters. He finds the doctor behind a gate within where the doctor orders Simon to give him a new gun in exchange for letting him pass. Simon can either oblige or refuse, but either way, the doctor betrays Simon and shoots him, with a greater penalty to maximum health if Simon complied. Simon eventually kills the doctor after a gunfight.
Simon leaves the forest and rows through a lake to his hometown. He finally reaches his house and expects his mother to be waiting for him but the house is empty. He enters his bedroom and finds a book. Through a flashback, the player finds out that the entire story was a figment of Simon's imagination. After the car crash, Simon had become reliant on a wheelchair. Depressed, his therapist (who was the doctor in the game) advised him to document his feelings in a book. The character controlled throughout the game was a concocted version of Simon, and all the monsters represented the trauma in his mind. ''Cry of Fear'' has five different endings depending on the player's choices. * If Carcass wasn't killed and Simon didn't give the gun to the doctor, he kills Sophie, his therapist, and then himself. He leaves a suicide note stating that he would have killed more people if it weren't for his disability and wishes that the people who find his body are haunted by it for the rest of their life. * If Carcass wasn't killed and Simon gave the gun to the doctor, he kills Sophie, then himself. In his suicide note, he apologizes to his therapist and thanks him for his help, explaining that he killed Sophie so that he could have her all to himself since he never got over her rejection. * If Carcass was killed and Simon didn't give the gun to the doctor, he kills his doctor, then himself. In his suicide note, he states that the doctor's therapy only made things worse, and begs for Sophie not to know what he's done. * If Carcass was killed and Simon gave the gun to the doctor, Simon, right before he kills himself, is confronted by Book Simon. The player, taking control of the real Simon, chases down and kills Book Simon in a shootout. Coming to his senses, Simon realizes he had a mental episode. Instead of taking his own life, he killed two police officers who were presumably checking in on him. Simon gets admitted into a mental hospital for the rest of his life, where his therapist continues to look after him. Sophie, despite how much Simon hurt her, visits him. Hopeful about the future and finally at peace with his demons, Simon finishes his book. * Alternatively if you finished the game at least once before and place a mysterious package addressed to Simon in a mailbox, he arrives home to find it delivered. Opening it up to find pills, he takes them and ends up in a location from the team's previous game, Afraid of Monsters. At the end he is hit by a car driven by Afraid of Monster's protagonist, David Leatherhoff, revealed to be the one who hit Simon prior to the game. David, who still uses a lower quality model and talks entirely in text, apologizes to Simon, admits to being stoned, and flees the scene as Simon angrily yells for him to come back.

They are soon washed onto a shore near a cottage. Howie goes to the lake and spots three men headed toward the shore in a boat.

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").

While organizing his room, Double D (voiced by Samuel Vincent) notices that his magnifying glass is missing. Convinced that it was stolen, he begins to have a panic attack but is calmed down by Eddy (voiced by Tony Sampson). The two then go to Ed's (voiced by Matt Hill) house. Not long after they arrive, Ed's younger sister Sarah (voiced by Janyse Jaud) comes barging into his room, accusing him of stealing her doll. Ed denies having done so, and Eddy concludes that there is a "serial toucher" on the loose. The Eds spread the word to the other cul-de-sac children, who offer them money if they catch the thief.
The three then form a plan, which has Ed sitting alone on a bench in the playground with a "Don't Touch!" sign around his neck. Jonny (voiced by David Paul Grove) soon walks by, carrying his imaginary friend Plank, who is a board of wood. Impressed with Ed's hair cut, Jonny ignores the sign and rubs Plank against Ed's head. Eddy and Double D then jump out from behind a nearby bush and capture Jonny, accusing him of being the serial toucher. Eddy interrogates Jonny and Plank after tying them to chairs in Double Dee's garage and hooking them up to a homemade lie detector. However, when they give him no answers, he resorts to using Chinese water torture on Plank. This makes Jonny need to use the bathroom and in his desperation, he falsely confesses to the crime. The Eds then collect their money and punish Jonny by trapping him in a tire.
While on their way to buy jawbreakers at the candy store, the Eds are stopped by Sarah who claims to have found her doll under her bed. Double D then confesses that he recently found his magnifying glass as well, proving that there never actually was a serial toucher. Despite this revelation, the Eds still decide to spend the money, without freeing Jonny. However, while they are enjoying their jawbreakers, Sarah rolls the tire in which Jonny is trapped down a hill, knocking the three over. The jawbreakers fly out of their mouths and roll down the street, leaving the Eds to chase after them.
Setting out on Double D's monthly insect expedition, the Eds venture into a forest. While Double D admires the bounty of nature, Eddy discovers a giant spiderweb and fearfully suggests that they leave. His friends are intrigued by its enormous size however, and Ed starts bouncing on the web. Suddenly, nearby voices start chanting the Eds' names. Double D and Eddy urge Ed to climb down from the web, but he is unable to break free on his own. After his friends manage to pull him down, the three of them frantically try to run away. Before they are able to escape the forest though, they fall into a muddy swamp and are surrounded by three seemingly ominous figures.
Some time later, the Eds wake up in a trailer home, where three girls are staring down at them. The boys have already been changed out of their dirty clothes and put into clean robes, which the girls inform them each belong to one of their three respective dads. Explaining that they are new to the area, the girls introduce themselves as Lee (voiced by Janyse Jaud), Marie (voiced by Kathleen Barr), and May Kanker (voiced by Erin Fitzgerald). The Eds begin to offer their own introductions, but are stopped short by the sisters who are already familiar with the boys' names. As the Kankers head into the kitchen to prepare food for the Eds, Double D anxiously proposes that the three of them leave. However, Eddy stops him, insisting that they stay at least for the free food. Looking around, the boys notice drawings of themselves, each paired with one of the Kankers: Ed with May, Double D with Marie, and Eddy with Lee. Although left unsettled by this discovery, they eagerly accept the food that is brought out to them and begin to relax, as the Kankers slip a movie into the VCR and go upstairs to freshen up.
When the Kankers return, they make multiple attempts to garner the Eds' attention, but the boys, engrossed with what they are watching on the T.V., ignore them. Angry, and feeling unappreciated, the Kankers start bossing the Eds around, forcing them to clean up the house. Eddy quickly grows annoyed with the situation though, and loses his temper with the Kankers, sending them crying into their room. In a moment of regret, he attempts to apologize, but is told by May to leave and to never return. The Eds gladly accept this, but upon opening the front door, they find the Kankers blocking their way, holding self-made dolls styled to look like the Eds. Dubbing the dolls "Eddy Junior", "Ed Junior" and "Double D Junior", the Kankers try to guilt the Eds into staying. However, this only causes the boys to flee in terror. The Kankers look after the Eds longingly as they go and declare their love for them.

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 rip saw. 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. His youngest daughter, Belle (Léa Seydoux) is the only one happy with the change. When one of the merchant's ships is found, the merchant prepares to return to reclaim his assets. While his two older spoiled daughters give him a long list of expensive things to bring back for them, Belle asks only for a rose. The merchant arrives and learns that the ship and its cargo have been taken to settle his debts. On the way home, he gets lost and stumbles upon the castle of the Beast (Vincent Cassel), where all of his needs are magically met, including food, the items his daughters had asked him for and his injured horse, cured. He departs and picks a rose in the garden for Belle. He is confronted by the Beast, who is angry that he stole despite the Beast's help. As punishment, the Beast demands that the merchant return after saying goodbye to his children. After learning of her father's fate, Belle, feeling responsible, takes his place.
At the castle, Belle is given permission to roam the grounds, but must have dinner with the Beast every evening. She has a dream, revealing the prince's past; he enjoys hunting, but often ignores the Princess (Yvonne Catterfeld) who loves him but is lonely. The prince is after an elusive golden deer and when the princess asks him to stop hunting it, he promises to do so if she will give him a son. At dinner, the Beast attempts to charm her, only to be rejected, which angers him. He later apologizes for his behavior. Belle says she will dance with him if she is allowed to see her family one last time. The Beast asks for Belle's love but she demands to see her family first. When he refuses, she rejects him once again. That night, she witnesses the Beast prey upon a hog. Shocked, she attempts to escape only for the Beast to catch up on the frozen lake. As Belle is pinned, the Beast attempts to kiss her when the ice beneath her breaks. He saves her and brings her back to the castle. He agrees to let her return home, giving her a small vial of healing water. He states that if she does not return to him in one day, he will die.
Belle goes home, where her father is bedridden and dying. Her eldest brother, Maxime (Nicolas Gob) finds a jewel on her clothing. Figuring that the castle may contain further treasures, he wants to get it to settle his debt to gangster Perducas (Eduardo Noriega). He leads Perducas and his gang to the castle. Belle has another dream about how the prince broke his promise to the princess and killed the golden deer. While dying, the deer transformed into the princess, revealing she was the Nymph of the Forest who became human because she wanted to experience love. Her father, the God of the Forest, transformed the prince into a beast as punishment, proclaiming that only the true love of a woman would break the Beast's curse. Belle gives her father the vial of water, healing him. She goes to the castle with her younger brother Tristan, arriving just as the Beast is about to kill the invaders. He stops when she begs for mercy. Perducas stabs the Beast, mortally wounding him. Suddenly, vines sprout about the castle. Perducas is killed by the vines and turned into a human tree. Belle and her brothers place the Beast into the healing pool of water. Dying, the Beast asks whether Belle could ever love him, and she counters that she already does. The Beast transforms back into his human form.
The story is being told by Belle to her two young children. They are living in the same countryside house, with Belle's father, who is now a flower merchant. Belle goes outside to greet her husband, the prince, and the two embrace.

The movie opens in the barracks of an artillery battalion somewhere in Germany; the year is 1939. The enlisted men of the battery are harassed by their Hauptwachtmeister 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.
After that Asch is promoted to Unteroffizier, as the Major has already granted it before the reports began, and Kowalski is promoted to Stabsgefreiter. Only minutes later the battalion is falling in on the courtyard to hear Hitler's speech on the radio announcing the outbreak of war against Poland (and thus the start of World War II).

Joe vows to get revenge on Junior, but not before Angie takes the two to Junior's house to show them a painting Junior's mother made of a dream she had, depicting Junior and "pink stars falling in lines." Junior then finds them in the basement, and Joe runs toward him, but is put in a choke hold. Angie demands Junior let Joe go, and he does. The three then take Junior to the barn as the "fourth hand." After the four of them touch the dome, the egg in the middle releases pink stars all over the barn walls. The four are astonished, though Junior looks confused, asking them what it means.
Joe (Colin Ford), Norrie (Mackenzie Lintz), Angie (Britt Robertson), and Junior (Alexander Koch) release their grip from the mini-dome and see white spots all over the barn, which are supposed to link up the constellations that they created. Later, Junior tries again to seduce Angie, with her replying that a relationship will never happen. Junior then decides to leave the three kids and forget about the mini-dome. As this happens, funnel clouds begin to appear in the sky. Junior then heads home and finds his father Big Jim (Dean Norris), who arms him with a gun and bullets saying to stay at the house and beware of Maxine (Natalie Zea), who is threatening to hurt those closest to him. Angie then heads to the house pleading for Junior to return and help her, Joe and Norrie with a situation with the mini-dome. As the funnel cloud grows, the wind picks up a bench, which almost hits Angie, but is saved by Junior. The clouds then begin to subside. Junior and Angie then realize that the dome wants him to stick with the three kids.
Julia (Rachelle Lefevre) is shot by Maxine after Barbie (Mike Vogel) rejected her in the previous episode. Barbie then gets Joe to drive them to the hospital. When they got there and see that the nurses are busy with other tornado-related emergencies, Barbie is forced to heal Julia's wounds. While feeding oxygen into her through a small tube, her heart stops. As this happens, a branch flies through the window, with Barbie pushing Joe out of the way. The clouds then subside, and Julia's heart begins to beat again. Joe then concludes that Barbie is the "monarch [that] will be crowned."
Later, Barbie gets Big Jim's help to take down Maxine without any death on their part. The two head to Maxine's underground club, but are ambushed by Maxine and a gunman. She says how she wants revenge for the murder of her mother Agatha (Mare Winningham), and that she wants to live a life with Barbie, but he rejects her advances. The power then goes out from Barbie's activated alarm which cut the power. Barbie and Big Jim then steal their guns and lead them outside. Barbie then leaves, telling Maxine "You're done." As he walks off, Big Jim kills both Maxine and the gunman. Big Jim then tries to shoot Barbie, but he punches him in the throat and steals the gun. Linda (Natalie Martinez) then appears and Big Jim lies, saying that Barbie killed the two. Throughout the episode, Linda has been finding false evidence that concludes that Barbie is a dangerous felon. Barbie runs off before anything can happen to him.
Big Jim later heads to the radio station and finds Dodee (Jolene Purdy), who during the storm managed to gain access to a message from the military, saying that they have found Barbie. Big Jim hears this message, and then goes on the radio, framing Barbie for numerous crimes that occurred over the past few days.
Norrie convinces Joe, Angie and Junior to touch the bigger dome at the same time. Upon doing so, the four see a vision of Big Jim bleeding from three stab wounds and a bloody nose. The vision then has the four holding four bloody knives, with Junior running off. The three others then consider that in order for the dome to come down, they have to kill Big Jim.
The episode begins with a flashforward set at Block Island Sound, Rhode Island on Labor Day Weekend, in which divers find the wreckage of the ''Amanda''. 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.
Conrad (Henry Czerny) moves up the date of the family's Labor Day party, where he is scheduled to announce his gubernatorial run. While it is actually an attempt to maintain a united front following Helen Crowley's murder at Victoria's hands, Ashley Davenport (Ashley Madekwe) believes it is due to the discovery of (Emily's) laptop. Victoria and her son Daniel (Josh Bowman), whom she was protecting by killing Crowley, act out a scene in his bugged office at Grayson Global to throw the Initiative off. Victoria also places Crowley's scarf and cell phone under Amanda's bed at the Stowaway, where it is found by Trask, Crowley's replacement.
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. Emily mourns Amanda after her death, holding her body for as long as possible before letting her slip under the waves. The episode ends with Nolan crying out for Emily, who fires a flare gun into the air before breaking down crying.
The play is set around the performances of a failing rock band fronted by lead singer Maggie Frisby at the May Ball on the night of 9 June 1969 at Jesus College, Cambridge.
Set in the dystopian 2064 United States, the series explores an alternate timeline where in the past, the Civil War never ended and an extended war continued until a comet hits present-day Kansas in 1908. The six warring parties met at Armistice-the site of the comet's impact-and made a truce. This resulted in the signing of the treaty forming "the Seven Nations of America": the Armistice, The Union, The Confederacy, the Kingdom of New Orleans, the Endless Nation, the Republic of Texas, and the People's Republic of America. On the day of the treaty signing, Elijah Longstreet, a Confederate Army soldier under Stonewall Jackson, and Red Cloud, the chief of chiefs to the Native American tribes of the Endless Nation, simultaneously prophesied what would later become part of The Message. Both immediately collapsed and died after delivering their respective prophecies.
In 1958, Chairman Mao Zedong of the PRA wrote the addendum to his Little Red Book; this addendum was the third piece of the prophecy meant to complete The Message, which foretold the Apocalypse.
Since then, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Death, War, Famine, and Conquest) physically manifest and seeks to fulfill the prophecies. Believers of the Message periodically make pilgrimages to the Armistice, only to be slaughtered by the Horsemen on the way. Conquest decided to adopt one of the pilgrim's orphans, named him Ezra Orion, then raised and trained him to be the Keeper of the Message. A structure over Armistice was built to prevent any pilgrimages. Ezra became the first of "the Chosen", a group whose later members are Believers and high-ranking officials representing each Nation. The Chosen members are assigned to help bring about the Apocalypse.
On their path to the Apocalypse, the Horsemen got derailed when Death falls in love with Xiaolian, a daughter of Mao V. In 2054, she and Death had a son together; this urges Death to abandon the Horsemen and their mission. However, this coupling was envisioned by the prophecy, with their son being interpreted as "the Beast of the Apocalypse". Hu, Xiaolian's sister and a member of the Chosen, betrays her sister to the remaining Horsemen. Xiaiolian's son was taken away, and she was kept prisoner by her father, who struck a deal with the three Horsemen to hide Xiaolian from Death. Death's son was kept in a secret facility, where Ezra began raising him to become the Beast.
Death was informed of his family's death by the Horsemen; enraged, he kills them. The Chosen then injured and left Death to die. Death, however, survives due to the intervention of two Endless Nation witches, Crow and Wolf. A decade later, War, Famine, and Conquest are resurrected at Armistice as 10-year-old children when they realize Death's absence. Feeling betrayed, they determine to accomplish their mission without him. Death, on the other hand, seeks revenge on The Chosen for the presumed death of his wife and son. Here begins the story of East of West #1.
''NOTE:'' The Broadway synopsis is based on its first preview. Changes to the plot were implemented in 2019 with the development of the UK production; the revisions are now what is licensed via Concord Theatricals and are therefore described here.
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. She also writes a letter in the voice of Gina's ex-husband, telling Gina that he greatly regrets eloping with his secretary; this final letter gives her the closure she needed to move on from mourning ("Window Seat"). 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 meeting, 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?").
The story of Amélie is narrated by all of the people in her life. They tell us how every moment of our lives and everyone we meet are connected in ways we may not know or understand ("The Flight Of The Blue Fly"). Born to two neurotic and self-centered parents— Raphael and Amandine—young Amélie doesn't learn how to love. One day during her monthly medical exam, her heart beats wildly and Raphael misdiagnoses her with a heart defect, leading the parents to homeschool her away from the outside world ("World's Best Papa"). They give her a goldfish, Fluffy, to keep as a friend. One day during a geometry lesson, Amélie gets distracted by Fluffy, causing Amandine to scold her ("World's Best Friend"). Amandine's irritating neuroticism causes Fluffy to become suicidal, leading him to jump out of his bowl; when chaos ensues as Raphael and Amandine attempt to get the fish back in its bowl, they decide that it has to go, and Amélie is forced to release him into a nearby canal.
Later on, Amandine and Amélie go to Notre Dame Cathedral, where they pray for a baby brother ("World's Best Mama"). On their way out, a Canadian tourist hurls himself off a parapet in the cathedral, killing himself and Amandine. A funeral is held and shortly after, and Raphael makes a shrine for his wife's ashes, including a garden gnome that reminds him of her ("Post Mortem"). When she turns seventeen, young Amélie leaves home.
Five years after that, Amélie is a waitress at the Two Windmills Café in Montmartre ("The Sound of Going Round in Circles"). The staff and customers are all caught in a routine of dissatisfaction: Hipolito, an unpublished novelist; Georgette, a lonely tobacconist who suffers from hypochondria; Gina, a waitress who obsessively rereads love letters from her late husband who abandoned her for his secretary (the two flying off to South America only to be killed in a plane crash); Joseph, a plumber who is stalking Gina after one failed date a year earlier; Philomene, an airline stewardess who leaves her cat with Amélie while she's away; and Suzanne, the proprietress who previously worked as a trapeze artist until her partner dropped her, causing a career-ending injury. Amélie observes them all without ever making a deep connection or revealing anything about herself.
Every night Amélie goes home alone, following the same routine ("The Commute Home"), spying on her neighbors with a small telescope and watching TV. At the same time, another Parisian loner, Nino Quincampoix, goes from metro station to metro station collecting the torn halves of photographs discarded at photobooths. He sings of the forgotten stories in the snapshots, implying a similar proclivity for observation ("When The Booth Goes Bright"). Alone in her apartment, Amélie sees the news of Lady Diana's death in a car crash in Paris. She drops her perfume bottle, which dislodges a tile at the edge of the room, revealing a small metal box filled with a child's treasures ("The Bottle Drops"). Amélie vows to find the owner of the box and return it. If he is grateful, she will devote her life to being a do-gooder; if not, so be it.
Amélie visits the local grocer, Collignon, whose innocent and simple-minded assistant Lucien sings to the produce ("Three Figs"). Somehow, Amélie has gotten the idea that the box might belong to Collignon, who lived in the apartment before her, but it is not his. He suggests that Amélie visit his parents who might remember who lived in the apartment before they did. At a metro station, Amélie and Nino bump into each other and briefly interact as Nino retrieves a photostrip from the bottom of her shoe, puzzling her; their hearts beat loudly for each other, but Amélie is late for her train. Collignon's parents tell Amélie that the person who lived in the apartment before them was named Dominique Bredoteau. Returning home, Amélie meets Nino once more at a different metro station and he takes note of the mysterious box she holds, but runs off in pursuit of someone he thinks he recognizes. Travelling from one end of Paris to another in pursuit of Dominique Bredoteau, Amélie has no luck.
On the second-floor landing to her apartment, she meets a neighbor, Julien Dufayel, who suffers from a rare bone disease causing him to avoid contact for fear of breaking a bone. He invites her into his apartment, where he spends all of his time painting copies of Renoir's "Luncheon of the Boating Party". He is never able to capture the expression on the face of one of the figures, a lonely woman ("The Girl With The Glass") whose situation Amélie projects herself onto. Dufayel corrects Amélie's incorrect information; the former tenant is actually named Bretodeau, not Bredoteau. Dominique Bretodeau is on his way home when a payphone rings. He answers and Amélie, disguising her voice from the nearby Two Windmills Café, instructs him to look down. He does, seeing his own childhood treasure and feeling a flood of memories ("How To Tell Time"). He stumbles into the café and tries to tell the denizens about his miracle; on an impulse, he calls his ex-wife and begs for a chance to see her and their son again. She agrees. Before leaving, Bretodeau kisses Amélie on the head in a rush of elation and thanks everyone for his good fortune.
Amélie has found her mission. She leaves work early and looks for someone else to help. She grabs a dyspeptic blind beggar and takes him on a tour of Montmarte, describing his surroundings to him ("Tour de France"). Elated by her success, Amélie returns home to watch the funeral of Princess Diana on TV, imagining herself as a world-famous do-gooder who also dies too young. Inside Westminster Abbey, Elton John sings a song in praise of the newly martyred Amélie ("Goodbye, Amélie").
Amélie and Nino are sitting on a train; they sing of their love for each other, but do not know the other one is but a few feet away ("Half Asleep"). At a stop, Nino stands up to leave; Amélie spots him and hides. Amélie visits her father; his shrine to Amandine has grown in size, obsessively tended to. She tries to get Raphael to go on a trip like he's always wanted to or visit her but he dismisses the idea, saying that he's better off in his backyard taking care of the gnome ("Backyard").
When he leaves, she steals the gnome and gives it to Philomene at a metro station where Amélie once again sees Nino. Late for his train, he leaves behind a photo album; she finds it and takes it to Dufayel. The two peruse the pages—so many faces of people who tore their photos in two, the halves now joined again in this album. The two take notice of one face that appears repeatedly, taken in every photobooth in Paris, and wonder who it could be. In the back of the book is a name and address: Nino Quincampoix. Dufayel picks up on the idea that Amélie may have feelings for the owner of the album and tells her to return the album and befriend him, or else she's better off joining a convent. Amélie gets an idea.
Disguised as a nun, Amélie visits the sex shop where Nino works. While a coworker goes to find him in another room, Amélie tries to sort out what she wants from this stranger ("Sister's Pickle"). At the last minute, she flees, terrified to connect with this man who intrigues her; she keeps the album. Based on how his coworker describes her, Nino realizes that the woman with his album is the same woman from the metro that he is in love with. Dufayel asks Amélie why she didn't speak to Nino; dismissing him, she thinks back to a geometry lesson her mother taught her as a child, a metaphor for how true connection with others is impossible ("Halfway"). She is determined to find some way to break out of her isolation. She sends a letter to Nino with a photograph of herself dressed as Zorro and a cryptic message.
Focusing back on her anonymous good deeds, she then composes a letter to Gina in the voice of Gina's deceased husband and posts it with a cover letter from the postal service, claiming to have unearthed the letter from a crash in the Andes. In it, Gina's ex-husband declares his undying love and confesses to having made a mistake running away with his secretary ("Window Seat"). With this letter, Gina gains closure and is finally able to move on. Through Amélie, Georgette and Joseph find themselves alone in the loo and begin to fall in love. At the same time, Nino is plastering Paris with leaflets of Amélie's face in the Zorro mask with the header "Have you seen this woman?". Knowing exactly the game she's playing, he wonders out loud how he's falling for someone who doesn't want to be found ("Thin Air").
Raphael shows up at the café with a series of postcards he has received from around the globe—written by the gnome ("There's No Place Like Gnome"). Amélie assures him of his worries and tells him to embrace the change while introducing him to Suzanne. Collignon comes in with Lucien; Amélie, unable to stomach the cruelty he shows his assistant, feeds him a fig tart, causing him to hallucinate a nightmare. He profusely apologizes to Lucien for his abuse and admits that he is deeply flawed. Joseph and Georgette emerge from the loo, disheveled. Amélie travels around Paris, spray-painting quotes from Hipolito's unpublished works and reflecting on her journey thus far ("Times Are Hard For Dreamers"). Later that night, Hipolito sees a quote from his unpublished work and swells with pride ("Writing On The Wall"). As she watches from a distance, Amélie finds one of Nino's flyers and is outraged.
She sends Nino another message to meet her at 5 pm at the Montmartre Carousel with another riddle. When Nino shows up, he is met with a series of blue arrows guiding him upwards to a telescope on the top of the hill ("Blue Arrow Suite"). Through the telescope, he sees Amélie returning his album to the basket on his bicycle; by the time he races back down, she is gone. A payphone rings. He answers and Amélie tells him that the man in the photo album who keeps reappearing is a ghost. Despite her attempts to keep the game going, Nino pleads that they meet in person or else he is hanging up. She says to meet him the following Tuesday at 2 pm at the Two Windmills Café.
At the appointed time, Nino is late. Amélie worries about what might've happened to him, her imagined scenario spiraling out of control ("The Late Nino Quincampoix"). Nino does show up, and when he does, she tries to hide. When he asks about her masked photo, she denies her identity, but ultimately runs to the bathroom. Frustrated, tired, and hurt, Nino leaves, and Gina chases after him. Amélie comes out from hiding and Joseph convinces her that Nino left with Gina; she runs out, heartbroken, and Georgette breaks up with Joseph. Gina returns with Nino who thinks Amélie is still in the bathroom. The ladies interrogate him to make sure he is a suitable suitor for Amélie ("A Better Haircut"). After admitting his love for her and his belief that she truly understands him, they give him Amélie's home address, confessing that she is no longer in the bathroom.
Back home, Dufayel asks about Nino; Amélie snaps at him, telling him to mind his own business and to paint his own painting rather than obsessively copy Renoir's. In response, he tells her to "live [her] own life instead of the lives of others." Alone, she promises to leave Paris to live in further isolation. Nino shows up at her door and though she doesn't want him to leave, she doesn't want to let him in either. He begs her to stop suppressing her feelings and to let him inside ("Stay"). Dufayel calls, telling her to look out of her window; he shows her that he had finally painted an original work of art: a portrait of Amélie. He urges her to open the door for Nino or she'll never find love. She obeys. Very gingerly, Nino and Amélie approach one another and kiss ("Halfway–Reprise"). Saying she has a surprise, Amélie takes Nino to a photobooth that is out of order. A repairman shows up and it is the man in all of the photos, test runs to check that the booth works properly; Nino thanks Amélie for solving the mystery. As they take photos in the newly fixed booth, Amélie and Nino reflect on their newfound happiness and wonder what the future holds for them. A last bit of narration reveals that Raphael finally sets off on an international trip–with Suzanne. The company reminds Amélie and Nino and themselves that everyone and everything is connected in ways we do not know. The future may be unclear, but they will face it together ("Where Do We Go From Here?").

A woman named Eun-Hye is stalked by a stranger who murders her in her apartment.
Sung-soo is a successful businessman who lives with his wife Min-ji and two children, Ho-se and Soo-ha in a penthouse. Despite his good life, he's harboring a dark secret. He was adopted by a rich family and despises their biological son and older stepbrother, Baek Sung-Chul. He framed Sung-Chul for sexual assault out of disgust toward his skin rash. Since that day, he has constant nightmares about his brother and regularly takes drugs to overcome his guilt.
One day, Sung-soo receives a phone call that his estranged brother is missing and goes to his brother's apartment for the first time in decades to look for him. There, he finds strange symbols carved into every door and meets his brother's neighbor Joo-hee and her young daughter Pyeong-Hwa. When Sung-Soo tells her he went to visit his brother, she suddenly become hostile and kicks them out of her room. Sung-Soo decides to stay in his brother's room.
During his stay, he discovers a secret passage that connects his room and Eun-Hye's room, finding the latter's underwear in Sung-Chul's drawers. Meanwhile, Min-Ji and the children are attacked by the same stranger who killed Eun-Hye. They theorize that the murderer was Sung-Chul, who wanted to get revenge on Sung-Soo for ruining his life.
Sung-soo later figures out that the symbols on the doors are "hide and seek codes" that indicate the gender and numbers of people. In their penthouse, he finds similar symbols, deducing that the stranger knows about his home. Min-Ji tells him they must return to America.
Sung-Soo goes to confront his brother, only to be attacked by the man stalking him. He discovers that the man is Eun-Hye's boyfriend, who also thought Sung-chul is the one who killed his girlfriend. In Eun-Hye's room, Sung-Soo finds the girl's corpse in her wardrobe. The killer fatally stabs Eun-hye's boyfriend and attacks Sung-Soo. He takes refuge in Joo-hee's room and finds his brother's corpse in her wardrobe, realizing Joo-hee is the killer before she knocks him unconscious, steals his wallet, and flees with Pyeong-Hwa.
It's revealed that Joo-hee and her daughter are deranged kleptomaniacs whose modus operandi is killing residents of apartments and pretending to be residents themselves. She killed Sung-Chul in order to lure his brother to come investigate and take over their penthouse. Min-Ji is attacked by Joo-hee, who attempts to kill Ho-se and Soo-ha. When Sung-Soo arrives, Joo-he attacks him again and gains the upper hand, but stops due to Sung-Soo threatened to burn up their penthouse if she kills him and his family. He persuades her to spare them in exchange for the penthouse, but she refuses and starts choking him, claiming that the penthouse is "hers". She almost kills him when Soo-ha distracts her long enough to make Sung-Soo burn the kitchen. Horrified, she let go Sung-Soo and tries in vain to stop the fire, only to end up burned to death in process. The police manage to break in and secure the room while Sung-Soo cradles Min-Ji's unconscious body and their tearful children yells at her to wake up.
Some time later, Sung-Soo and his family visit his parent and Sung-Chul grave, finally making peace for his brother and free from his guilt before they travel back to America. Their penthouse is now empty and occupied by a new family. As the new residents settle in, the camera turns on the wardrobe in which Pyeong-Hwa still hides, looking at them, narrating the voiceover from the beginning.
Chili Ngcobo, an undercover cop, blows his cover and is captured by a gang. Chili frees himself and radios his partner for help, not realizing that Shoes' pistol has been sent in for repair. Shoes insists they call for backup, but Chili refuses, as he does not want to share the large reward for the gang's leader. With Shoes' tactical guidance, Chili takes down the entire gang despite having only two bullets. When they bring in the gang leader, Captain Stone withholds the reward unless they will set free a suspected rapist who is politically connected. Shoes is surprised when Chili suggests that they agree to the deal, and he refuses to compromise his principles.
Chili later comes to Shoes for help. Mambane, a crime boss that the two have been investigating for several years, has a major heist planned. Initially assuming that Chili intends to infiltrate the gang, Shoes comes to realize that Chili instead wants to cut him into the heist itself, after which can they arrest the gangsters at their leisure. Shoes reluctantly agrees after Chili promises that no one will be hurt.
One of the gangsters, Skroef, becomes suspicious when he recognizes Chili from another undercover operation that resulted in his arrest. The other crew consists of G8 and Warren, two mercenaries who worked together in an unsuccessful heist and now hate each other; Stakes and his lover Gugu, who is Mambane's daughter; Kenny, a failed actor who knows explosives; and Slim, a dim gangster. Knowing that he needs to get rid of Skroef, Chili sends Shoes to arrest him.
The next day, while the criminals discuss the heist, Skroef shows up with Shoes, whom he has captured, and says that one of the crew is an undercover cop. Chili convinces Mambane that their inside man, a security guard, is the culprit. Their ire now redirected toward the guard, Chili convinces Mambane to spare Shoes' life to use him as a hostage despite Skroef's insistence that they kill Shoes immediately.
While the others are asleep, Chili tries to slip a small knife to Shoes, who says he will not go along with any plan that involves the murder of a security guard. Skroef catches the two talking and instantly attacks Chili, whom he accuses of being an undercover cop. Mambane threatens to kill both men but admits that he needs them to perform the heist.
Worried that the police may be on to their plans, Mambane advances the heist to the next day over the objections of G8, who advises that they abort. At the last moment, Chili has second thoughts and attempts to warn off the armored truck that they have targeted. Although the heist is successful, several members of the crew die, and G8 is wounded.
When they return to their base, Stakes and Gugu betray the others and attempt to run off with the money. As Skroef kills both, Chili arrives and takes the money. G8 stalks Chili while Mambane and Skroef attempt to kill Shoes, who has overpowered Kenny and taken his weapon. Using radios, Shoes and Chili warn each other of enemy movements and kill all their opponents but Skroef.
Skroef uses a radio to locate Shoes' position and wounds him. Desperate to save his partner, Chili leaps from a higher floor onto Skroef, using the money bag as both a shield and cushion. Both men are temporarily stunned by the collision, though Chili recovers enough to use the money bag to smother Skroef. Chili realizes that the money is finally his. However, the next day, he goes to the bank and drops the money bag off. The film ends as he and Shoes return to their jobs as policemen.

Police Major Sergei Sobolev's wife is in labour. The future father rushes to the hospital, but his car hits, at full speed, a boy who is crossing the road at a pedestrian crossing, killing him. The only witness is the boy's mother, Irina Gutorova.
The Major decides to avoid responsibility for the crime and calls his colleagues to the incident scene. His colleague Pavel Korshunov quickly eliminates the evidence that proves Sobolev's guilt. Despite the fact that the mother of the deceased 7-year-old boy knows the true culprit of the accident, the Chief of District police forces her to give false testimony in favour of Major Sobolev.
Subsequently, Sobolev decides to confess everything and to be punished, but the other police officers do not like the idea because in covering for the major, they reveal traces of their own abuse, in this modernized yet still corrupted police force.
In the summer of 1983, a twelve-year-old girl, Hera Karlsdóttir, lives a normal life on her family farm in a close-knit community. 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.
Nine 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, 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 Satanist. 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 Eddie 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 change however when three young men from Norway make a surprise visit for Hera at her parents' house. They had come across her demo on the tape trading scene in Oslo and, highly impressed with it, want 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.
Some time later, 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. Later, Hera is back home in her room and her mother walks in and plays Megadeth on her sound system. Karl walks in and the film ends with all three of them dancing to it.

New Directions continues their two-week assignment covering the Beatles. Tina Cohen-Chang (Jenna Ushkowitz) is nominated for prom queen at the new combined all-grades prom and is determined to win, dumping Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet)—who she had previously accepted as her prom date—to capitalize on the potential votes of girls without dates, and belittling her assistant and campaign manager, Dottie Kazatori (Pamela Chan).

Rachel is surprised at the diner by Mr. Campion (Peter Facinelli), the ''Funny Girl'' director, who tells her she has been cast as Fanny Brice. In Lima, cheerleading coach Roz Washington (NeNe Leakes) informs Sue that Bree is behind the prank and demands that she is punished.

Kurt reassures her that Finn cared for her and knew she was a good person; Kurt gives Santana the jacket. 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.

Rachel confesses to Will she still talks to Finn and is uncertain of the future, as she always planned to have a successful Broadway career before reuniting with Finn, and being together for the rest of their lives. Will asks her if she ever told Finn her plan and Rachel explains that she didn’t 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.
As the screen fades, a memorial for Monteith is displayed, which says “Cory Monteith, 1982–2013”.
The novel has a convoluted plot, in common with many of Collins’ works. 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.
Alice Harvey, a 28-year-old assistant book editor and aspiring writer, is tasked with handling the re-release of Milan Daneker's book ''Waking Eyes''. Her father is a successful literary agent, who is overbearing, and her mother is overpowered by him. Alice first met Milan when she was 13, at one of her parents' parties. Soon after, Alice got stuck on a paper/potential novel she was writing and called Milan for guidance. Later, Alice's father was happy to find out Milan was mentoring her. He began to come over while she was home alone, and they lay on her bed. Milan asked Alice for a kiss and they started to make out.
In the present, she is forced by her boss, Jack, to interact with Milan again, and she has repeated flashbacks to their interactions. Her best friend, Sadie, throws Alice a surprise party for her 29th birthday where she meets Emmett Grant, a political activist whom she begins dating.
Alice finds herself feeling jarred and out of control as she works on the promotion for the re-release of Milan's book. She becomes distracted from her writing class and drops out when the teacher suggests she try again at another time. At work, Alice has been trying to get Jack to read a manuscript she really likes by author Karen Malone, but he continues to blow her off. Alice mentions the manuscript to her meddlesome father, and he offers to “fix it” by calling Jack. Alice makes him promise not to but, soon after, she's surprised when Karen comes in for a meeting with Jack. Alice is stunned to see her father bounding in, knowing he highjacked the find from her. Her father, Jack, and Karen go into a closed-door meeting, excluding Alice. Seeing them through a large picture window enrages her and, feeling betrayed, she storms out of the office.
Alice goes to Sadie's apartment, but she's at yoga. Her babysitter, Keith, is there and he notices she has a copy of “Waking Eyes” with her. He comments about disliking the book after being assigned to it read in a class. In the heat of the moment, Alice has sex with Keith, but Sadie comes home early and catches them and throws Alice out of her home. Feeling guilty, Alice ignores Emmett's phone calls. Alice watches an interview Milan is doing on TV, and the interviewer points out that none of his other books had been as successful as ''Waking Eyes''. When asked why he thinks that is, Milan says that anyone can relate to being a teenager. Further, the interviewer asks how a man in his forties can perfectly capture the essence of a teenage girl. Milan appears caught off guard by the question. In a flashback with Alice, it becomes clear that he sexually exploited her and ripped off her writing for the book, but he lies and says it was complete fiction.
Alice ends up telling a suspicious Emmett the truth about her hookup with Keith, and he walks out on her. Dejected, with Emmett and Sadie not talking her, Alice goes to a bar and hooks up with a stranger. In a flashback, Alice tells Milan about a boy her own age that she had been seeing, and he lasciviously presses her for details about their hookup. Milan talks Alice into letting him be the first to make her have an orgasm. In the present, Alice wakes up crying in bed with her one-night stand and quickly leaves.
Alice goes to see Emmett and tries to explain her insecurities, saying that she enjoys the feeling of being wanted, but then begins to wonder why the guy can't do better than her. Emmett says that he does want her, but agrees that he could probably do better. Eventually, Alice and Sadie talk. Alice says she is going to work on her issues so they begin to mend their friendship. Previously, Emmett called out Alice for not trying to further her interest in writing. Desperate to win him back, she writes a blog post with a list of 100 reasons why he should give her another chance.
Back at work, when the re-release of ''Waking Eyes'' is hot off the presses, Alice sees that there is a new dedication written about her. In the past, at a book signing, Milan began to read aloud, and Alice finally realized he had blatantly stolen her work, in some cases verbatim, and incorporates details from the sexual relationship he manipulated her into. Alice finally gets the courage to tell her mother what happened. On the car ride home with her parents after the book signing, Alice is mortified when her father mentions that her mother told him her secret. He says that he asked Milan about it, who denied it. They tell her she may have misinterpreted her interaction with Milan, or she may just have a crush on him. In the present day, Alice goes to confront Milan but he still denies any wrongdoing.
Elsewhere, Emmett finds the blog post. He's touched and after Alice comes to his apartment they get back together. At the re-release party of the book, Alice does not show up, staying with Emmett instead. He asks her if she's the girl in the book, to which she replies, "not anymore".
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. Manfrinto's only vice is women and AXE have arranged for one of their operatives, Princess Morgan de Verizone – an international prostitute – to meet up with him. Carter will extract the necessary information from Manfrinto then execute him.
Carter (in disguise as American businessman, Robert Corning) and Princess de Verizone meet up on the Orient Express en route from Paris to Venice and spend the night together. 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.
The film portrays Gertrude, a strong and exuberant 17-year-old and her collision with the Swedish welfare state in the early 1950s. It deals with the compulsory sterilisation in Sweden affecting 63,000 people between 1934 and 1976.
Former jewel thief and reformed detective Michael Lanyard, or the Lone Wolf, is driving to a party with his butler Jamison. 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.
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.
1940s France. The gardens at Versailles, the concentration camp and Madeline's hotel suite. The play takes place during the German occupation of France in World War II.
September 1940. Fargeau, Henri and Deseze are talking about the war, Charlotte and Mercy are visiting from America and are trying to rebuild the past. They want to see Versailles as it was in Marie Antoinette's time. They are upset because the land and history changed too much. Madeline is avoiding Maisie because she has fallen in love and doesn't want to go back to America. She tells Maisie all about Raoul St. Cloud. Moments later he appears in the distance and tells Madeline about his adventures in the war, how his ship sank and he helped hijack a plane. He and Madeline pick up where they left off in their relationship. German soldiers enter and seeing Raoul in a French uniform, ask for his papers. Raoul, unable to produce them, saying they are lost at sea; gets arrested and taken to a concentration camp.
At the concentration camp, Colonel Erfurt allows the Fleury family to see their son only if they agree to help gather information for the German party. They hesitate, but ultimately give in because they want to see their son. They are mortified by what they see in the camp. He denies Madeline access to Raoul because he has Sterben written on his file. He says “This is a camp of dead men.” Madeline vows that she will see Raoul again.
Exactly one year later. Cissie and Maisie talk about France's condition in Madeline's hotel room. Maisie is hungry and nervous about German soldiers barging in on them. Cissie reassures her that they will not come. Madeline and Colonel Mueller talk about plans to break Raoul out and the three women will leave for London the next afternoon after the plan unfolds. The plan fails.
Madeline tells the girls to unpack, they are staying. Maisie tells her that the best way she can help Raoul is by going back to America, back to work and get more money. Lieutenant Schoen arrives saying that he knows a fool proof way to get Raoul out of the camp. Maisie and Cissie leave to get Cissie a visa.
Madeline and Lt. Schoen talk about the plan and she gives him her ring to pawn for money as a gift for helping her and Raoul. Lt. Schoen leaves his number, saying that if he can get Raoul out the following day, he will call.
The next day, back at the gardens. Henri reads the executed list in the paper and sees Fargeau's name on the list. He always said that he'd rather be who he is and die for it than live as someone the Germans want him to be. Fargeau died trying to buy a gun, the shop didn't have any so he killed a German officer for one. Henri and Deseze mourn him for a moment as Madeline enters. Lt. Schoen never called but meets her at the gardens. He delivers good news that the plan worked and Raoul will be there any moment. Raoul arrives and Madeline is delighted. They immediately embrace, still as in love with each other as they were a year ago. She tells him to go to London and wait for her. But after he leaves, German soldiers arrive at the gardens and begin questioning Madeline. She obliges, thinking that the longer the soldiers are with her, the further away Raoul will get from France. Col. Erfurt and Madeline argue and he ends up confiscating Madeline's passport, leaving her to be a prisoner in France. Madeline and Raoul do not end up together.
The idiom Candle in the Wind means something fragile which could finish at any time, a constant fight against all odds. Madeline and Raoul's love is a candle in the wind: the constant fight to free Raoul, even after a year, and the hope that he still loves her.

Mega-City One is scheduled to host the Global Justice Summit, a gathering of Chief Judges from all over the world. Judge Dredd is in charge of the security detail, but faces a threat from a radical cult hidden in the city's slums, and a fanatical and ruthless disciple of Morton Judd.
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?
In Mega-City One, the metropolis that covers most of the North American east coast, Judge Cassandra Anderson is undergoing analysis by a "robo-shrink." Due to their psychic abilities and the strain that can result, Psi-Judges such as Anderson are required to undergo psychological evaluation following serious experiences or trauma. As requested, she recounts her most recent case.
Anderson comments that normal sleep is often difficult for her since, as a powerful psi-judge, she is sensitive to receiving information and visions when her defenses are lowered. Recently, she woke up in the night as a result of feeling a distinct psychic imprint. Her psychic instinct tells her to find Joe Dredd, who is on the trail of covert operatives from foreign mega-cities illegally entering MC1.
Anderson and Dredd learns the operatives are looking for a target called "Pariah" that might be located at Debbie Harry Block. Anderson finds a lone boy of ambiguous ethnicity between the ages of 8-12 and sees that his psychic aura is powerful, "practically nuclear." Anderson asks the boy about himself and he answers without speaking, transmitting images that convey he has been a test subject under the care of scientists and has no real family. The boy likes looking at the tall Statue of Justice that looks over Mega-City One, thinking of it as a protector.
Judge Mkimbe, a covert operative from Simba City, arrives and fires a laser blast, causing the Pariah Boy to panic and lash out with psychic energy. Anderson screams as the attack rips through her mind, then loses consciousness. The boy's attack knocks out the entire block's security and power, and he escapes.
When she awakes under medical care, it is hours later and Anderson's psychic powers are seemingly gone. She now rates a "Double Zero" on the scale according to both robot medics and other psi-judges, marking her as a psychic dead zone with no telepathic potential. Dredd suggests she stay in the infirmary, but Anderson insists she is still a judge and monitors his interrogation of Mkimbe. The Simba City judge claims diplomatic immunity and argues that if the MC1 judges knew what the Pariah truly was, they would have begged him to kill the boy. He describes the boy as "a demon, like the other mind-witches." Recognizing that Mkimbe shares the same fear and hatred of telepaths as many people from his city, Anderson enters the interrogation room to bluff him. Pretending that she can telepathically see his secrets, she promises to be discreet if he cooperates.
Mkimbe explains a bio-tech corporation in Luxor City created the "Pariah Project," meant to create a powerful psychic to act as a living weapon. The boy, he explains, was grown from the cells of 500 psychics and is powerful enough to be a telepathic atomic bomb, capable of neutralizing mental functions and psychic abilities over a massive radius. The boy's existence leaked, leading to raiders attacking the facility. The boy escaped and now many mega-cities want him, including the society East-Meg Two. Dredd decides to pursue the case but orders Anderson to stand down so she can recover.
Ignoring this, Anderson leaves to track the boy despite her lack of psychic abilities. Recalling the boy's feeling towards the Statue of Justice, she heads there and finds him hiding. The boy regrets having injured Anderson, then shows her images of being in pain while undergoing tests, indicating he does not want to cause pain himself and wishes to fix her mind. Crime mob psychics from the Rocco family arrive, looking for the boy. Knowing the boy needs time to recharge his full abilities, Anderson tells him to run and find Dredd while she holds off the gangsters. The boy does something that fills Anderson with a surge of energy, then runs. The Pariah boy is quickly grabbed by one of the gangsters who then demand Anderson's surrender.
After she drops her weapon, others arrive who had hired the Rocco family to abduct the boy, who they see as the "prototype" for a new breed of weapon. Realizing these are soviet judges from East-Meg Two, Anderson reveals this to the mobsters. As Mega-City One was once nearly destroyed by the soviet mega-cities during the "Apocalypse War," the mobsters open fire on the sov judges, killing them. Anderson tries to prevent the mobsters from taking the boy, but is shot in the chest. One of the gangsters raises his gun to shoot Anderson in the head but the Pariah boy convinces him she is already dead. As they leave with the boy, she loses consciousness.
Anderson wakes up as a robo-doc treats her wound and stitches her up. Anderson realizes her powers are slowly rebuilding thanks to the boy's psychic surge. After two hours of circling above the city, Anderson finally locks onto a "think-easy," a hidden mob safehouse shielded against most types of psychic activity. She and Dredd raid the building, finding an access tunnel. Journeying into an old sewer, they find the gangster attempting to force the Pariah boy into a getaway vehicle. A fight ensues and Anderson feels the boy reach out to her mind again, enhancing the repair of her abilities even while fighting panic. Anderson helps him focus and the boy mentally attacks the gangster holding him hostage.
With the gangsters disabled, Dredd reveals that the Judges have found out the Pariah was responsible for hundreds of deaths in the city of Luxor. Since the boy is now weakened and vulnerable from using his powers, Dredd considers killing him before he can hurt anyone else. Anderson argues that this boy is not Dredd's old nemesis Owen Krysler, "The Judge Child," and that he needs guidance and protection. Dredd concedes that judges are meant to protect citizens, not only to punish. The child is taken into protective custody by Psi-Division.
Psi-Judge Anderson, her power now fully restored, finishes her story to the robo-shrink and remarks that she knows her desire to protect the boy isn't wrong. When told the Council of Five are still deciding if Anderson should be disciplined for her actions during this case, Anderson dismisses it and says she will continue to protect the innocent - no matter who they are.
This drama depicts the two families turning against one another due to feng shui restrictions set by their ancestors. Under the conflicting pressure of materialism and values, can they lay down their personal views and embrace one another?
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.
When Matsukaze Tenma returns to Raimon, he finds out that all his teammates and friends are no longer members of the Raimon Soccer Club, as it does not exist anymore. An international organization hell-bent on erasing soccer called El Dorado has sent Alpha, an assassin from the future, as soccer has become a fearsome weapon in the future.
Tenma is saved by Fei Rune and his companion Clark Wonderbot, who comes from 200 years in the future to help Tenma to protect soccer. After they fix the timeline to the original state, Raimon Soccer Club is back, but El Dorado keeps sending assassin teams to destroy Raimon Soccer Club, and so the team go on a quest to assemble The Strongest Eleven in History and collect their aura to strengthen themselves in order to defeat El Dorado.
The game starts in a strict boarding school led by a female convent order. The head of the convent order is abbess Ignatz. One of the pupils is Lilli, the main character. She is a shy, insecure little girl not daring to speak in public. She does not have her own opinions (or is afraid to say them) and she executes all charged tasks. Another pupil is Edna and it is obvious she is not as crazy as in The Breakout.
The abbess can't stand the youthful behavior anymore. That's why she wants to bring in doctor Marcel. He must brainwash the children so they will be all good and modest. When Edna hears this news she wants to escape: she pushed doctor Marcel down the stairs at the end of The Breakout and left him for dead although she can't remember the reason. She is now afraid doctor Marcel wants revenge if he finds her. That's why Edna gives Lilli the task to remove all evidence of Edna's presence.
Lilli discovers that Gerret, one of the elder students, is an undercover agent. He wants to expose the malpractice of Ignatz. He also warns Lilli she might get caught by Marcel, which eventually happens. Marcel uses the ragdoll Harvey to hypnotize Lilli. The hypnosis prevents Lilli taking the following actions: playing with fire, to disobey adults, to lie, to drink alcohol, to use sharp objects, to enter dangerous places and to get angry. Each time Lilli makes a violation, the hypnosis gives her an electric shock. At such time, a demon-version of Harvey turns up and tells Lilli what she has done wrong.
Gerret gives Lilli a truth serum, which has to be drunk by Ignatz. By doing this, Gerret discovers that the misbehavior is caused by a child-hood trauma. Gerret also tells Lilli she can beat the hypnosis by fighting the prohibition-demons. This action causes her to go into trance. In these trance-worlds she is able to find solutions to get rid of the prohibitions one by one.
In meantime, Edna escaped the boarding school and Lilli and Gerret try to find her. Edna gets kidnapped by some men who work for Marcel. They take her to the asylum. Gerret seeks for help while Lilli penetrates into the asylum. Lilli eventually finds Edna in her former cell, where both Gerret and the brainwashed Ignatz are also held captive. Lilli is able to get Ignatz out of her trance. Ignatz regrets her actions and gives Lilli a knife to rescue Edna and Gerret. Marcel tries to convince Lilli she is very ill and needs therapy. Edna remembers what happened in The Breakout. As Lilli has overcome all her restrictions, she can do whatever she wants. This causes the game to have three different endings: she stabs Marcel, she confirms she is ill and goes into therapy, or she objects and leaves, finally fed up with people telling her what to do without asking her what she wants.
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.
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, 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.
Homer is getting frazzled over hearing spoilers about the current blockbuster films but his rushed trip to see a new one ends with him decrying the smartphone-laden atmosphere and being thrown out of the movie theater by ushers. Bart later 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 guilty 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 after using the rolled-up check to snort cocaine.
The FBI raids the Simpsons' house and arrests Homer for movie piracy. Marge feels guilty for getting him 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 (as Bart notes, being a movie pirate isn't even the worst kind of PIRATE Homer has ever been). 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 and plan to kill him for his actions. 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 refuses to turn himself in after Marge asks him to give himself up.
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, unsuccessfully trying to force him out by playing Judas Priest music at high volume. While in hiding, Marge confesses to Homer that she turned him in. Homer, feeling betrayed, sadly surrenders to the FBI and is taken into custody.
During his trial at a U.S. Federal Court, Homer makes no attempt to defend himself and is found guilty of illegal reproduction and distribution of copyrighted material. Before he is sentenced, and with some encouragement from Marge, he 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, with Homer asking to sign with whichever studio can convince Channing Tatum to gain the most weight to play him.
A week before the film, ''Streaming Valor'', is released to movie theaters, 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 they are just trying to make as much money as possible. She then proceeds to say who the "real pirate" is, but is censored by NASCAR footage (footage from the 2011 Goody's Fast Relief 500, which was broadcast by Fox), 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.
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 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 Edna 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 until Milhouse came up with the same announcement. After a meeting with Principal Skinner Homer picks his son up and scolds him on how embarrassing it is to find out Bart's bad news during his arraignment. At home Bart is forced to assist Marge in cleaning out her car as punishment. 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. Bart immediately blames Homer for this situation due to the his mediocre fathering techniques and blames them for leading Bart done he is on now. Homer sees this as an opportunity to show Bart how babies are made and make up for his awful parenting. However 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's 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. They then receive 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, leading him to threaten her with a showdown later. 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 releases 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 blood loss). 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 asks why Brian has six nipples. Too scared by 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 mother, Ida, which Quagmire rejects.
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 when their plans to hang out fell through.
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 rival 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 destroys 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, a mortally wounded Brian expresses his love for the family, thanking them for the wonderful life that they have given 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 tries to rebuild the time machine and use it to save Brian, but finds that 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, which Quagmire is unfazed by. 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 a 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. The turning point comes when Peter slyly tells a horrified Carter that people in Quahog are wondering if Carter is Jewish, which makes the grumpy old man reverse his position and green-light the carnival's return.
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 still alive and well, thanks to Stewie's time traveling skills. 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. The Griffins hail Stewie as a hero for saving Christmas by bringing Brian back from the dead.
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 ever since the incident he caused by driving a forklift into a conference room and 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.
Jack (played by Peter) is sent out by his wife (played by Lois) to sell their cow (played by Brian) for money to buy food. Despite her warnings not to buy magic beans, he crosses paths with a troll (played by Mort) who trades him magic beans for the cow. The wife is displeased (even though Jack said if he buys some, it's her fault for mentioning them) and throws them outside, and demands that Jack get a real job. That night, the beans grow into a giant beanstalk. Jack decides to climb it and discovers a castle in the clouds. There, he finds The Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs (played by Stewie), but wakes up the Giant (played by Chris), and ignorantly makes him follow him. Jack chooses to run away and flees down the beanstalk where Rumpelforeskin (played by Quagmire) is sawing it down for blocking his view of Little Miss Muffet's tuffet (he needs to see her tuffet to make curds and whey), though he couldn't get help from the off-screen Little Boy Brown (played by Cleveland) since he can't find his gloves. Jack reaches the ground and the beanstalk falls which kills the giant. With the goose in their possession, their financial troubles are solved but their sexual troubles are still very much a problem.
Little Red Riding Hood (played by Stewie) is given a basket of food from her mother (played by Lois) to take to Grandma (played by Barbara Pewterschmidt) and, after complaining about why Grandma would need a 'Coors Party Ball' sets out through the forest. After a brief encounter with a laking tree which calls him out for acting gay, "she" runs into the Big Bad Wolf (played by Brian) as they discuss the “Three Little Pigs” as Red goes to her grandma's house. At Grandma's house, Little Red Riding Hood's grandfather (played by Carter Pewterschmidt) heads out to the Old Woman in the Shoe's house to get the Old Woman (played by Consuela) to tidy up in there or he will rent her house to Goldilocks and the Three Bears (the three bears are actually depicted as three gay men). The Big Bad Wolf gets there first and tricks Grandma into letting him into the house and eating her. After starting to go through the charade that the Big Bad Wolf is really Grandma, Red can no longer keep it up and the Big Bad Wolf agrees. Although he wonders why she's upset when he is aware that he's about to be slaughtered by the woodsman (played by Peter), he chooses that moment to burst through the door and violently bisect the wolf with a chainsaw exposing the remains of Grandma before rushing onto the next house. Red wonders if he was really the hero or just a lunatic going from house to house randomly killing people; screams are then heard from off-screen, indicating that the woodsman has killed another victim and Red says they should call somebody.
In the same storyline as the Disney film, Cinderella (played by Lois) is forced to work for her mean stepsisters (played by Meg and Stewie) when a message arrives with an invitation to a ball by Prince Charming (played by Peter). Cinderella arrives, ready to go to the ball with her stepfamily, but her stepsisters tear the dress at the urging of her stepmother (played by Barbara Pewterschmidt). Her fairy godmother (played by Mayor West) arrives and grants her a new dress and carriage (made from the medieval version of Joe Swanson) to go to the ball as well as turning the dog (played by Brian) into a horse to pull the carriage. At the ball, Prince Charming meets the evil stepsisters and rejects their advances but falls for Cinderella. After they dance and start to kiss, the clock strikes midnight and Cinderella is forced to flee losing her glass slipper on the way out. The next day, Prince Charming orders the Captain of the Guards (played by Seamus) to send out his men to search for the girl whose foot will fit the slipper. After failed attempts at the houses of different women (two of which were played by Angela and Tricia Takanawa), Prince Charming arrive at Cinderella's house. Before Prince Charming can try the glass slipper on the stepsisters, he meets Cinderella as his dream girl and they were married until they separated seven months later in order to renew their relationship.
Stewie falls asleep as Peter tucks him in and says goodnight to him. Peter also says goodnight to Chris (unaware that Herbert is in his room) and goodnight to Meg (unaware that she has hanged herself).
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 a round of somewhat 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, the series having no clear target audience, Tim the Bear not being funny and having his voice actor replaced after season 2, and the show losing to ''Bob's Burgers'' (which premiered in 2011 about a white family) 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 an embittered 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 the guys once again rag on him for ''The Cleveland Show''.
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 is unable to break the habit and starts sneaking smokes during any little task, causing him to become increasingly fidgety and irritated and deteriorating his appearance. 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 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 the damage he had suffered through smoking is irreversible.
Meanwhile, 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 becomes popular and nominated for class president as a result of Stewie's coaching. However, Chris kidnaps an unwilling Stewie to keep him handy, keeping him in his backpack. At the debate, Stewie points out that Chris has become the bully himself, and he realizes the truth. He drops out of the race and asks for 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.
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 but accidentally takes the wrong child (whom Stewie happened to befriend). Arriving home, he tries to cover it up in front of Lois; but she finds out just as another woman arrives with Stewie. An enraged Lois yells at Peter and calls him an idiot and fed up with him, hurting his feelings.
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 alienate his friends and obstruct the usual family entertainment, replacing the television with a bookcase with different books where one of them happens to be ''Game of Thrones''. Brian finds Lois sneaking television and she admits that Peter has become a nightmare and did not make her feel dumb before. She then sends him to the dumbest city in the world, Tucson, Arizona. When he returns, he is back to normal much to the delight of Lois and Brian.
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 tries 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, they also mention that whatever girl—or boy—Chris marries will be very lucky because of Chris's inheritance. 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—as a way of finally being able to spend time with his father.
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, but he didn't care because 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 from 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, Brian is fired by the network for trying to adapt the writing to include TV-MA content rather than adhering to age-appropriate guidelines. Furthermore, a disillusioned Dylan, realizing that Brian is merely using him for his own selfish ambitions rather than fatherly bonding, refuses to see him again. A depressed Brian realizes how selfish he has been and how he ruined his chance to have Dylan back in his life. Stewie decides to help him apologize to Dylan. On the first try, Brian gets beaten up after trying to sneak past security, since he is banned from the studio. However, as 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 with Brian at the local park and forgives him.
Meanwhile, Peter, Quagmire and Joe go on a hunting trip. During a lunch break, Peter deliberately 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 as they compete for Joe's affection. Joe chooses Quagmire because he has helped him more through hard times and gets along better with his family. Feeling abandoned by his friends, Peter decides to commit suicide, which Lois talks him out of and persuades him to try and reconcile with Quagmire. Later, 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 stop the dispute. While Peter debates how to settle their differences, Quagmire takes his opportunity to shoot him in the head, making the score even. A brain-damaged and wheelchair-using Peter 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. 62 sleep-deprived hours later, the men 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 from their sleep. 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 (Keke Palmer), 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. 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 he decides to find Pam and run away with her. Meg finds a note detailing Chris' and Pam's plans and tells Peter and Jerome. As Chris and Pam hide out in a motel, they reluctantly admit to each other their shared inexperience with sex. As Peter, Jerome, and Meg cruise town, they are pulled over by a cop who harasses Jerome for no reason, and Peter becomes sympathetic to Jerome having to deal with racist abuse on a constant basis. Jerome tells Peter that he can't trust white people in general and that he's being protective of his daughter, but that he's OK with Peter himself. They arrive at the motel to find Chris and Pam making out. Jerome is initially angry, but becomes taken aback when Peter sincerely says that Jerome's message of keeping races separate is correct and that Chris shouldn't even talk to black people anymore. When Peter and Pam both ask Jerome if that's the right lesson here, Jerome apologizes for overreacting and gives Pam and Chris his blessing to date, though both he and Peter are relieved that their kids did not have sex with each other (Chris apparently did a tuck with his penis that rendered the chances of lovemaking nil). Peter then invites Jerome to help him kill a completely wasted Randy Quaid who is passed out on the other bed in the motel room.
Meg 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, Green Mountain College in Vermont. Peter loses a bet with Lois and has to drive Meg to the college. On the way there, Peter is his usual dismissive self towards her and does not 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 did not 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 college, they crash a party and end up missing the interview the next morning.
As Lois scolds Meg and Peter upon arriving home, Meg defends their actions because this is the first time she has ever gotten anything positive out of her interactions with her father. As Peter and Meg continue staying out and having wacky adventures, Lois advises Meg to watch hanging out with Peter as he could ruin her future. Meg dismisses Lois' concerns but Peter's exhausting stunts begin to wear on her. Soon, 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 college interview and tells an upset Peter that she is going on her own, preferring he be her responsible father instead of her party animal friend. Meg's narration revealed that she got into her choice college, contracted HPV her first day there and got the nickname "Warthog".
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 an unwilling Brian to live outside until the skunk smell wears off. As Brian adjusts to living outside, he 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. An unhappy Stewie begs Brian to return to his old life; Brian refuses until a thunderstorm starts, bolting for the house.
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. When 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, and Chris usurps Peter's position as the man of the house and has the entire family sit in Papasan chairs.
When Lois catches news of this, she demands that Peter and his friends stand up to the brutes. 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 including his children being conceived there and witnessing the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, the 9/11 attacks and Barack Obama being elected President of the United States. 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, much to their chagrin.
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 decide get back at Brian for giving both of them herpes.
After Chris and Stewie hack Brian's Facebook account, ruin his date with a young girl by revealing his herpes condition to her, and make demands (including letting Chris drive Brian’s car up the street), Brian, having had enough, demands that the duo cease and asks Stevie why he’s being so vengeful. 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 concealing the herpes and admits that he only did it because he was self-conscious about it 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 try to knock each other down using mattresses; ignoring Stewie trying to tell them he is watching his program. This ultimately results in Peter hitting Chris, who knocks down and destroys 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 a 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. 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. Stewie 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 turn out to be smarter than 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 loving family, mainly because he was the smart one. His new father is a professor at Oxford University and he sets out there to use the lab to build a new time machine to save Peter's and Lois' marriage. 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, Stewie is happy to be back with his real family, before Chris 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. An enraged 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 with plans to taunt everyone by eating her candy haul where they can hear her, but sees Jimmy's abandoned shoes amidst the crushed remains of the fort and panics believing that she has killed her schoolmates. The Belcher siblings, hiding in the truck, pretend to be enraged spirits and trick Millie into forfeiting her candy and running off screaming. As the credits roll, Tina, Gene, Louise, Andy, Ollie, and Darryl are seen happily 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. Bob's accrued 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, then 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 dishwashing, 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 either close down the Home-Ec-staurant and go back to movies or for him 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 while Tina also proves her new skills in shop class as when a screw starts to fall off a wheel she quickly welds it together. 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.
Krazy, as the title implies, is a bill poster who places paper signs on walls or wire posts in the city. The signs he put on either promote shows or advise commuters not to do stuff that are banned in some places. He moves from one location to another in his horse-drawn carriage.
When he is finished for the day, Krazy pays a visit to his spaniel girlfriend at her house. While they are busy chatting, a kitten from next door comes outside to play. Seeing Krazy's horse on the street, the little cat comes to have a ride on it. The kitten sits aboard but the horse is dozing and refuses to move. 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 ridden 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. Krazy and the horse are dazed but the kitten is elated and obliged to have another wild ride.
The film opens with a brief prologue explaining the history of Canadian First Nations children being compelled by law to attend Indian residential schools. 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. In her father's absence, the now-teenage Aila (Kawennáhere Devery Jacobs) takes over her father's drug dealing business in the care of her uncle Burner (Brandon Oakes), who himself consumes and sells drugs. To avoid being sent to St. Dymphna's school, Aila uses the proceeds from the drug money to bribe the corrupt and abusive Indian agent Popper (Mark Antony Krupa), who runs the school. In flashback scenes, it is show that a younger Popper (Sheamas Graham) was bullied by several Mi'kmaq youths including Burner. A younger Joseph (Muin Gould) comes to his aid but Popper spurns his offer of friendship and develops a hatred for the Indians in the reserve.
One day, Aila's drug money is stolen. Her predicament is complicated when her father Joseph is released from prison and returns to the Red Crow Reserve. Relations between daughter and father are initially frayed; Aila resents her father for not being there, while Joseph is unhappy that his daughter is involved in the drug business. Aila and three friends later hatch a plot to break into St. Dymphna's with the assistance of one of the resident boys, Jujijj (Shako Mattawa Jacobs), and steal the required money. However, Burner betrays them to Popper, who arrests Joseph on trumped up property damage charges and sends Aila to St. Dymphna's.
During her induction, Aila is shorn of her long braids and imprisoned in a cell. However, she is freed by a local resident boy. Seeking revenge against Popper, Aila and her friends don Halloween costumes and break into St Dymphna's. They free Joseph and steal C$ 20,000 from Popper's office. After escaping, Aila reconciles with her father, who tells her that she is not to blame for the death of her mother and the cycle of abuse that occurred at St Dymphna's.
However, Popper catches up with them and knocks Joseph down with a rifle butt. Popper attempts to rape Aila but is shot dead by the local resident boy who freed Aila. To protect the young boy and his daughter, Joseph takes the fall for killing Popper. Gisigu (Stewart Myiow), a friend of her grandfather, becomes her mentor and promises to help steer her away from dealing with drugs. Aila also befriends the young boy who saved her and her dad from Popper.

Kaylie Ames chose to attend college in Austin, thinking it was far enough away from home to create the distance she needed after her father had been killed in a mountain rescue operation. Her mother and brother each withdrew in their own ways. Still, she continued to grieve.
One day she discovered her old friend Elliott on his knees in the middle of a grocery store aisle. She did not recognize her old friend at first; his eyes were shut and he looked ill, mumbling something unintelligible. She helped him off the floor and brought him outside where he quickly recovered.

''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. Citizenship from birth was abolished after the States' War roughly a decade earlier, and those who want citizenship are required to undergo a Pledging process. 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.

'''PART ONE''': In South Wood, a young girl named Zita is crowned May Queen. 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. When a company known as RPG offers him the chance to become young again in return for a large amount of money, he jumps at the chance to participate. Ten millionaires from throughout the world will be placed inside younger bodies for ten hours, but with the catch that every hour someone will die. Exhilarated from the rush of possessing a younger body, Steve is prepared to do whatever it takes to keep that body- despite the fact that experience and reality is not always the same thing.
Adventure-seeker Johnny Weissmuller (as himself) receives a request from Professor Carl Blakely (Selmer Jackson) to collaboratively rescue a certain Professor Dixon (William Blakely) from the Mountain of Explosive Fire in Kirundi. Blakely's daughter Nora (Angela Stevens) comes along. The Kirundi natives belong to a religious tribe worshipping a demon thought to control fire. Pious in nature, they are willing to sacrifice humans just to appease the fire demon, who in fact is Dixon. They are also known to possess mystical items, including a jewel-encrusted sabre.
Notorious looters Leopold (Hinton) and Nels Comstock (Tannen), along with their criminal crew, are looking to steal the Kirundi folks' treasures. They arrive at the strange land the same time Johnny and Blakely do. Jim is tipped off by a contact that his lover Sarabna (Vera M. Francis) is next in line to be sacrificed by the natives. The brave explorer arrives in the nick of time, managing to halt the procession and at the same time finding Dixon. Meanwhile, the looters strike gold but are discovered and killed by the Caucasian-loathing tribesmen.
The Mountain of Explosive Fire, revealed to be an active volcano, erupts suddenly. Johnny evacuates the local people and flees to safety with Blakely, Sarabna, and the fire demon Dixon. In gratitude, the chief presents the team with their precious treasures. Dixon considers donating them to a museum.

Lost while on vacation, Mike, his wife Margaret and their daughter Debbie make their way through the desert, attempting to locate a place to stay. They eventually discover the ''Valley Lodge'', a hotel maintained by a satyr named Torgo, who "take[s] care of the place while the master is away". Mike fights and defeats Torgo, and then enters the building, which is infested with numerous paranormal beings, which Mike must defeat in order to rescue his family, who have gone missing. Eventually, Mike returns outside. He flies an airplane and discovers that the Master, head of the lodge, has kidnapped Mike's family. The Master instructs his six wives to attack Mike, and then kills Torgo, declaring he has failed him. After Mike defeats the wives, he does battle with The Master.
If the player has collected all of the hidden "Hands of Fate" over the course of the game, they will view a good ending, in which Mike and his family leave the Valley Lodge, with Mike telling two women that it is not worth staying at.

After the youngest, Manuel (Pimentel), witnesses Antonio rape Julia, Ana debates taking revenge on the man who has ruined her family.
''The Hollywood Reporter'' writes that "unusually for a Venezuelan movie, there is little direct social comment, and only the most oblique criticism of the wider conditions that have made this family so desperately screwed-up".

Ninety-four years after the Battle of Endor and the death of emperor Palpatine, the New Republic has been resurrected, and democracy once again presides in the galaxy. The Jedi Order is reestablished on the planet Yavin 4, and has continued to train new Jedi Knights in the art of peace and justice. But all is not peaceful in this new world. With the fall of the Galactic Empire, the ancient Skenvi Empire now comes out of the woodworks.
The Skenvi now oppose the New Republic for control over the galaxy with their growing empire. The Skenvi seek to seize control of all the galaxy's most valuable resources to cripple their enemies. And if a planet refuses to join them, they have been known to take very aggressive actions.
Caught in between this struggle over the fate of the galaxy is the little planet of Coreign. The planet possesses a very powerful resource that would greatly favour the side that has access to it if a galactic war was to emerge.
In its eagerness to gain access to Coreign's resources, the Skenvi Empire sends its most infamous negotiator, Lord Siege. He is a man who is known throughout the galaxy for seeing that the Skenvi Empire gets what it wants by all means necessary. The New Republic sends two of its Jedi ambassadors, Jedi Master Soran Darr and his Padawan, Raven Darkham.
Toward the end of the story, a suggestion was raised of the possibility that Jedi Raven and Princess Arianna's entanglement could lead to an ill consequence similar to what appeared to have happened earlier with Lord Siege, as briefly alluded to by his lament over his earlier involvement with Tashia.
The film is a mockumentary about Gary, a British man, arriving in Beijing to set up a business and reconnect with his ex-wife.
Adventurer Johnny Weissmuller (playing himself) is hired by Egyptian archaeologist Ellen Marsten (Jean Byron) to traverse the African jungle of Baku. They seek to rescue an acquaintance, Marro (Benjamin F. Chapman, Jr.), from his captors, pygmies known as the "Moon Men". 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.
The life of Paul Marvan (Haas), a world-famous concert pianist, is ruined after his marriage to beautiful femme fatale Margo (Moore). Margo is hardly a femme fatale. She's one of many blondes in Hugo Haas' films who is trying to do her best with men coming at her every second. She's actually sensitive, smart and compassionate. If you actually listen to the dialogue of this movie it's quite grown up, especially the final conversation between Margo and Marvan's patron, Diana Fowler. The level of honesty in this film is as powerful as it is unexpected.
It has also been noted, especially by Czech scholar Milan Hain, that the plot also recalls Hugo Haas' brother Pavel (1899-1944) who died in the camps. Not only does the main character take on the career of a musician, but his brother's name as well.
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 his 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. Radisson reads a letter from his late mother and is moved to reconcile with Mina. Amy confronts the Newsboys in their dressing room but asks them to help guide her in converting to Christianity. 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 mocks her for her faith; 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. At the concert, the Newsboys show a video clip of Willie Robertson congratulating Josh on standing up to Radisson and encourages the audience to text "God's Not Dead" as a message to others. The Newsboys begin to play their song "God's Not Dead", dedicating it to Josh.
The novel is divided into four parts, and each part is divided into four chapters. Each chapter tells its own coherent narrative, but the years, settings, and points of view of the chapters jump around.
Background information is provided on Rose Zimmer. A Polish Jew, she immigrated with other members of her family, the Angrushes, to the United States at a young age, and became an ardent Communist. She met the German Jewish immigrant Albert Zimmer, fellow Communist. They married in 1936, and had a daughter Miriam in 1940. The Party exiled Albert to East Germany in 1947 (for his uselessness in America), and then in 1955 expelled Rose, for having an affair with Douglas Lookins, a black police officer. But Rose gets the last laugh, because Khrushchev's secret denouncements of Stalin are revealed in 1956, leaving the American Communist Party in utter disarray.
In 1957, 17-year-old Miriam is out with several acquaintances. At some point, she secretly decides she wants to lose her virginity with one of them, a Columbia University student, and the two of them end up in her bedroom. Her attempt at seduction proves incompetent—the student is reluctant and they are both clueless—but their night is ruined by Rose making a scene.
In 2012, Miriam's son Sergius Gogan visits Cumbow, Maine, a small college town where Cicero Lookins, Douglas's son, is on the faculty, for information regarding his parents, of whom he has no memory, they having spent most of their time dedicated to their causes, including their fatal support for the Sandinistas, and also of his cousin Lenin "Lenny" Angrush, who died in a mob hit. Cicero is mostly uncooperative, resentful at the surfacing of strong negative memories of Rose as the Lookins' secret homewrecker and his harsh mother substitute during his adolescence.
In 1969, Miriam took 13-year-old Cicero to show off his supposed chess talents to Lenny. Cicero does so badly that he swears off chess forever. Miriam then takes him to get his horoscope, which is so bland she then takes him to have his fortune told by a chicken, which turns out to be "wear your love like heaven," a message Cicero interprets as approval of his incipient gay orientation.
In the summer of 1960, Lenny tries to exploit his in with Bill Shea, bringing a Tommy Gogan tape of a proposed anthem for the forthcoming New York City Continental League team, to be known as the Sunnyside Pros (short for "Proletariats"). His mission ends in abject failure when Shea breaks the news to Lenny that Major League Baseball has capitulated, and agreed to expansion teams after all, including the National League team that will be named the New York Mets. Lenny takes this as a betrayal.
In 1969, Miriam is a contestant on a popular quiz show. She sabotages her own chances by showing up slightly high, and during the show privately fumes over the non-activist trivia, musing over the categories she is really an expert in.
In 1940, Albert Zimmer gives a rousing, inspirational speech to a beginning Jewish commune in New Jersey, supposedly where he and Rose may themselves move to. Rose realizes belatedly her husband is simply following orders, and is furious that she had been excluded from any information. That, and the fact she does not want anything to do with farm life, leads to her insisting they stay in the city, and soon they move to Sunnyside Gardens.
Tommy Gogan's early life story is told, culminating in him joining his older brother's Peter and Rye to form "The Gogan Brothers", a mildly successful Irish singing trio. In 1960, he meets Miriam, falls in love, and she pushes him to fully develop his activist leanings. But his first album is savaged in the underground press, and his talent peters out.
Cicero invites Sergius to attend his morning seminar on "Disgust and Proximity". In trying to break down his students' resistance, he tells some of the horrors of his parents in his life. Afterwards, Sergius introduces Cicero to Lydia, who was visiting "Occupy Cumbow" as part of an "Occupy New England" tour. Sergius had met her the night before, amazed that Lydia was playing his father's music, which she explains was a forerunner for the Occupy movement. They leave Cumbow together.
Letters from Albert Zimmer to Miriam tell the story of his life in Dresden, East Germany. He has become a revisionist historian, specializing in the firebombing of Dresden and the implications of how evil capitalism is.
In 1978, Lenny sold the IRA some fake Krugerrands: identical gold content, but free of the taint of apartheid. The IRA gives chase, and after a few days, kill him.
After the killings of Miriam and Tommy in Nicaragua in 1979, Rose discovers ''All in the Family'', and falls in love with Archie Bunker, and projects herself into various scenes with Archie, symptomatic of her growing cynicism regarding politics.
Sergius' story from earliest memories to being raised by Quakers after the death of his parents is told. He becomes a pacifist, and learns to play the guitar. He meets Rose once, in the nursing home where she is an advanced state of mental decline. In her only full utterance, she calls him "Cicero", the first Sergius learns of his existence.
In March 1979, sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee, Miriam and Tommy visit Nicaragua. Before leaving the Sandanista-leaning León, Miriam writes a letter to a friend, saying that if she does not live, make sure Rose does not get custody of Sergius. They cross over into Somoza-controlled territory, and soon their hosts split up and separate the two. The chapter ends with the implication that Miriam is about to be raped and murdered.
In the early 1980s, Rose is committed to a nursing home after being found wandering and highly confused. Cicero pays her regular visits, and she recovers to the point of becoming the terror of the nurses. (Cicero's other motive for visiting New York is anonymous sex away from Princeton.) Cicero accepts a position on the West Coast, and in the year he is away, she deteriorates, and dies soon after Cicero's visit back.
Sergius and Lydia drive to the Portland airport. They stay at the airport, have sex in a bathroom stall, she leaves to hitchhike back to the city. Sergius, in trying to board, is treated as highly suspicious by security: he took more than an hour from entering the airport to finally checking in. He is detained, and security radios to have someone pick up Lydia. The book ends with Sergius realizing he is a "cell of one".
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. Miles tells Vanessa that he used to be a drug dealer, but now wants to change his life. At first she is reluctant, but accepts it, assuming that he will start having faith in God. However, unknown to Miles, a few DEA agents are watching him and his friends and plan on taking them down.
Miles' mother dies from an illness, and he proposes to Vanessa on an airplane. After a car accident, Vanessa enters a coma. As he waits in the hospital, Miles starts to restore his faith in God, praying to him to make Vanessa wake up and saying that she shouldn't have to pay for his sins. Vanessa recovers and the two marry. He writes to his friends, who are now in jail, and tells them that he misses them. He also sends them Bibles and tells them that they better stay out of trouble since they're going to be uncles.
The film ends with a look at three years later, showing Vanessa, her family, Miles' dad and their daughter in church, where Miles is now the pastor.
As Barbie (Mike Vogel) hides in the woods, Big Jim (Dean Norris) gives a speech to the townspeople convincing them to continuously search for Barbie, with Linda (Natalie Martinez) enforcing rules of security. Dodee (Jolene Purdy) later reveals to Big Jim, after hearing radio transmissions from the military, that Barbie is being searched for from outside the dome. During the radio transmissions, Dodee remembers what happened to her days ago when she touched the mini-dome. She takes Big Jim to the radio station and tells him about the egg in the mini-dome. She then leaves the room for a moment, where Big Jim hears the people on the transmission discuss past events that occurred in the dome, including Reverend Coggins's (Ned Bellamy) murder. Dodee overhears the transmission, realizing that Big Jim was responsible for his death and other past crimes in the town. Big Jim tells her he did it to protect the town, and also wants to make sure the dome does not come down. Dodee then says she hopes for his eventual death, which pushes Big Jim to kill her and burn the station, blaming Barbie for arson.
Joe (Colin Ford), Angie (Britt Robertson), and Norrie (Mackenzie Lintz) grow confused over the vision they witnessed earlier, with the three of them and Junior (Alexander Koch) killing Big Jim. Norrie's mother Carolyn (Aisha Hinds) then discovers the mini-dome, and promises to keep it secret from the town and Big Jim.

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. Girls cover her gym locker with sanitary pads, and someone writes crude remarks on her school books. At home, Richie frequently screams at Eleanor's mother while drunk. One night, Eleanor hears gunshots and calls 911, but the police believe Richie's lies over her report. Eleanor tries to conceal her living situation from Park, but gets frustrated when he takes some things for granted, like a telephone, batteries, or safety.

Park sends Eleanor letters, but she does not respond. Park tries to forget her, but can't. Soon, Eleanor's siblings and mother disappear from Richie's house, leaving Richie alone once again. Park passes by Eleanor's former house frequently, longing for her. Park encounters Richie one day as he is coming back from one of his drinking binges.

Now she despairs that they are growing older and will never marry.
Eldest son Jin-poong is nearing his 40th birthday. He's a pharmacist whose store is in the same neighborhood as his home. His personality is shy and awkward around women, although he's a gentle and caring person. He's never quite gotten over his first love Kim Hye-rim, and feels conflicted when she moves back to her childhood home across the street from the pharmacy, along with her husband Brutus and their two children. Then Jin-poong meets Brutus's younger sister Lee Soo-jin, a smart, tough lawyer.

The ''Typhon Pact'' Series follows the events of the ''Destiny'' (2008) trilogy by David Mack, along with the stand-alone novel ''A Singular Destiny'' (2009) by Keith DeCandido, and features crossovers between several series of ''Star Trek'' novels. The plot describes the formation of the "Typhon Pact"—an alliance of several alien civilizations against the Federation following the defeat of the Borg in 2381. These races include the Romulans, Breen, Tholians, Gorn, Tzenkethi, and the Kinshaya.
In response to these developments, the United Federation of Planets, Klingon Empire, Cardassian Union, and Ferengi Alliance form a new collective security organization, similar to NATO, later referred to as the Khitomer Accords Alliance. With the two power blocs now opposed to one another, a cold war descends upon the galaxy as events and incidents described in the novels illustrate the actions taken on both sides of the conflict. Characters from the Star Trek Universe are seen conducting secret actions ranging from intelligence gathering, to covert operations and sabotage.
While the first few books of the series act as stand alone novels, the final three act as a trilogy entitled ''The Khitomer Accords Saga''. The novels feature the ''Enterprise''-E under Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the ''Titan'' under Captain William T. Riker and the ''Aventine'' under Captain Ezri Dax.
At the General Store, Boyd Hoyland (Kyal Marsh) and Sky Mangel (Stephanie McIntosh) discuss his new role as a father to Kayla Thomas's (Virginia Ryan) daughter. They are interrupted when Sky's father, Joe (Mark Little), suddenly arrives to see Sky. Joe explains that he had to come to town when he heard about Annalise Hartman's (Kimberley Davies) Ramsay Street documentary and he asks Sky all about Boyd and Kayla. Joe is also reunited with his former father-in-law, Harold Bishop (Ian Smith). At Karl Kennedy's (Alan Fletcher) flat, Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney), Lance Wilkinson (Andrew Bibby), Annalise, Doug Willis (Terence Donovan) and Philip Martin (Ian Rawlings) gather to reminisce and film more scenes for Annalise's documentary. The following morning, all of the locals gather in Ramsay Street for a party and the screening of the documentary. Joe reminisces about his time on the street, while Max (Stephen Lovatt) and Stephanie Hoyland (Carla Bonner) learn that they are no longer allowed to adopt Kayla's daughter or any other child. At the hospital, where Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) is recovering from having his leg amputated, his sister, Lucy (Melissa Bell), visits and tries to encourage him to wear his false leg.
Paul and Lucy eventually turn up to Ramsay Street and Paul tells his aunt, Rosemary (Joy Chambers), that he is not selling his business to her. He then announces that he is staying in Erinsborough and is moving into Number 22 Ramsay Street. Annalise worries that the sun is too bright to show the documentary outside and insists on a change of venue. The group gather in the Scarlet Bar for the screening instead. Connor O'Neill (Patrick Harvey) turns up at the last minute and greets Toadie, which makes Lance jealous. Annalise thanks everyone for coming and for the use of their home videos, before explaining that the film is currently an untitled rough cut. The documentary begins with Annalise standing in Ramsay Street, talking about what it meant to her. It then cuts to various past residents, who talk about their time on the street. As the documentary ends, Harold stands up to announce that the documentary should be called ''Neighbours'' and the audience make a toast.
The show is a compilation of security camera footage, phone calls to prisoners known to cheat in Vegas, and talks with Nevada Gaming members. As casino employees have noticed, if there's money involved, there are unscrupulous people out there willing to grab it. Real security camera footage probably unseen anywhere else allows viewers to have a look at the daily cheaters' main job. Many forms of cheating are included, such as point shaving, rigging slot machines, and manipulating the game of craps.
Not addressed is the matter of casinos cheating patrons, although the Nevada Gaming Control Board certainly has such cases in its files.
''Mighty No. 9'' stars an android named Beck (Yuri Lowenthal), the ninth unit in a set of combat robots called the Mighty Numbers. At some point a form of computer virus attacks his fellow units, as well as machines around the world. The player, as Beck, must fight the rogue robots and discover the villain who threatens the fate of the planet. Alongside Beck is his partner, Call (Julie Nathanson).
There are three scientists involved in the story, each with a specific part to play: Dr. William White (Jason Spisak), the robotics designer who created Beck and the rest of the Mighty Numbers; Dr. Benedict Blackwell (Bob Joles), the inventor of "Xel" technology that provides the basis for the Mighty Number and all robots in the game; and Dr. Soichiro Sanda (Dave Wittenberg), who also works in "Xel" technology and created Call.
The story begins with a sudden massive countrywide robot uprising. Mighty No. 9, Beck, is one of the few robots unaffected, and is tasked by Dr. White to bring down his 8 other Mighty No. siblings. Beck possesses a unique ability that allows him to assimilate the "Xels" of other robots when they have sustained sufficient damage. By assimilating the Xels of his robotic siblings, Beck is able to restore their original personalities. Assimilation also allows Beck to send data to Dr. White, who tries to find the cause of the robots' violent behavior. Beck, with the assistance of the cowardly Dr. Sanda and his unaffected creation Call, moves out to retrieve and save his siblings. Gregory Graham (Scott Whyte), president of Cherry Dynamics (the world's largest supplier of robots, also called "CherryDyn"), publicly denies responsibility for the current disaster and blames Dr. Blackwell, despite the latter being in a maximum security prison.
As Beck saves more of his siblings, White begins to find among the affected Xels traces of code from his abandoned projected Trinity, a robot that can learn and grow infinitely by assimilating other robots. As Trinity was a project originally funded by CherryDyn, White decides to pay Graham a visit while Call and Sanda go to Blackwell for a direct explanation. During their infiltration of the prison, Call questions why White would make Beck a battle robot while also giving Beck a pacifist personality. Upon meeting Blackwell, Call and Sanda learn from Blackwell that the real cause of the countrywide uprising is due to Graham activating Trinity in hopes of selling her technology for military applications. Trinity can reprogram, rewrite, and assimilate other robots effortlessly; thus, she posed an incalculable danger to all of humanity, and Blackwell had her shut down during the initial project phase. However, Blackwell's actions would be seen as terrorism, framed by Graham, and he was subsequently locked up. Meanwhile, White confronts Graham about the latter's money-driven decision to activate Trinity, for which he again tries to deny responsibility. White mulls over how, despite Trinity being his greatest failure, he had taken what he had learned from her creation to create Beck, a robot with the same ability as Trinity, but would not pose a threat to humanity, implying that Beck's aversion to combat is the only difference separating his fate from Trinity's. Graham then recognizes White as Blackwell's son Bill.
Just as Beck foils Trinity's plot to launch a massive war against humanity, Trinity grows to the point where she even begins to assimilate non-robotic objects, and Beck, being the only one immune to her rewrite ability (though not immune to her assimilation), moves out alone to stop her. Beck successfully assimilates Trinity like he does with his siblings, and eliminates her influence on all other robots. With the help of the other Mighty Numbers, Beck and Trinity (returned to her ''true form'') escape the collapsing Colosseum.
Photos shown before the credits give an epilogue to the game, with Trinity befriending the other Mighty Numbers, White completing Trinity and giving her a proper body, and Beck competing in a fighting tournament.
In a post-credits scene, White visits Blackwell in his cell to report him about Trinity's change of heart and pitches the idea of a new symphonic heart routine that will help robots grow more responsibly. However, Blackwell scoffs that he got lucky and remains unconvinced (calling White "Bill" in the process); White, feeling unappreciated, vows to prove Blackwell and everyone who doubted him wrong. As the screen fades to black, Blackwell states that only time will tell if Beck is a blessing or a curse.

The movie plot is as follows:
Two strangers take refuge in a small cabin during a blizzard and, despite their many differences, discover that fate has brought them together. It's Thanksgiving Day and both Dr. Catherine Howard and Robert Woodward wind up at the same medical facility—one still missing a loved one, the other visiting a dying spouse.
Although they have lived within miles of each other for years, they have never met. Outside, snow has begun to fall and, despite a brusque first encounter, Catherine offers Robert a ride home when she learns that he is stranded. The pair gets off to a rocky start as Catherine tries to maneuver the car through what is now a blizzard and Robert barks directions.
Suddenly, the car careens off the road into a snow bank. They trudge through the blizzard and discover an empty cabin. They wait out the storm and begin to break through each other's shells.
First thing the following morning they are discovered by one of his daughters and her husband. They give Catherine a drive back to her home and they agree to meet the following Sunday.
On the following Sunday Catherine gets dressed and then gets in her truck and drives to Murray's. It is a restaurant they both know and frequent. She orders his suggested Chocolate Chip pancakes and waits for him. He too gets ready to go and meet her that Sunday morning. When he gets to the front of Murray's his cellphone rings. His wife has had another heart attack. The next scene is when Robert is hosting the wake for his wife, who passed on that Sunday. Both of his daughters are at the wake and the pregnant daughter Lori (Stacy Grant) sits on the floor in the kitchen and cries. Her sister Jaclyn comes over and comforts her. Lori is eight months pregnant and going through a divorce. The next scenes show that time has moved on a bit and now we are past the funeral. The next thing we see is that Dr. Howard is receiving a telephone call to let her know that a young lady is going into a troubled labor. She drives to the hospital only to find that Robert is the one who called her. She is asked if it was okay. She then stands to head to the daughter and Robert asks if she went to the diner that Sunday. She replied that she did not go, that she had been too busy. She asked if he went. He says that he did go but was called away while he was there. Then she discovers that Robert's wife died that day. He says that he would like to show her something. They go out to where his truck is parked. He pulls out a box. She opens it and there is a necklace. It is exactly like the one thought she lost the night they went off the road. She thinks that, and says that, as she asks where he bought it. He explains that it is the necklace she lost and then shows her the neck scarf she placed on the tree near where she lost it.
Robert asks her if she has a few moments. Catherine says that it is Christmas Day so her schedule is free. They both got into his truck and drove through the icy roads. Sure enough, His truck gets stuck right near where they broke down the year before. She looks to the roof of the cabin and smoke is coming from the chimney. They both walk to the front door. She knocks, and when nobody answers, He walks around and breaks another window. He comes to the front door and opens it. She is curious about why they are here again. Then he explains that the previous owners of the cabin actually did sell the cabin to Robert this past year. Now he had a place to go into whenever he is stuck on this road. The last scene is Catherine and Robert standing inside the living room area of the log cabin and kissing.
Among the latest batch of wounded brought to the 4077th is a pilot, Captain Arnold Chandler (Alan Fudge), who believes himself to be Jesus Christ. Majors Burns and Houlihan believe he is faking battle fatigue to earn a medical discharge, and set to prove this with the help of Army intelligence officer Colonel Flagg (Edward Winter). With Colonel Potter's approval, Hawkeye and B.J. call on Dr. Sidney Freedman (Allan Arbus) to evaluate Chandler.
Freedman concludes that Chandler's delusion is an internal response to his guilt over killing people who had never harmed or even met him. Freedman believes that while prolonged psychiatric therapy may restore Chandler's sense of self, he will never again be an effective member of the military.
Near the end of the episode, company clerk Radar O'Reilly asks Chandler to bless his teddy bear. Chandler blesses the bear and also blesses Radar, who reveals for the first time in the series that his first name is actually Walter.
Two people on dirt bikes are riding on the beach, but are then attacked by a predator in the sand. 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. It's later realized that they simply forgot Bo, as someone was forcing them to. Massimo has been giving Kenzi temporary powers to appear Fae. Bo finally awakens to find herself on a train, and later jumps off. A group of Fae called the "Una Mens" are introduced. When she arrives home, it is discovered that while Bo herself did not consciously choose a side, her blood has chosen Dark. Tamsin is found reborn, as a little girl, and grows up with Kenzi as her pseudo-mom. Massimo steals from Bo and Kenzi in an attempt to convince Kenzi to pay him, and Bo figures out that he is not Fae, but human. He also kidnaps Tamsin to acquire her Valkyrie hair, and after being defeated by Bo, chases after the hair into a pit of lava, where at that point he is presumed to be dead. Many of Trick's secrets and past actions are revealed, including a tie to a past life of Tamsin's, and the fact that he used his blood to "erase" someone from existence. Tamsin discovers that by not taking the soul of a man named Rainer to Valhalla, she is part of the reason "The Wanderer" was created. Bo is able to get back on the train, where she finally meets Rainer, and brings him back to the Dal. Hale and Kenzi admit their feelings for each other. Lauren, who has been working with the Dark, somehow turns the Morrigan human. Kenzi's mother is introduced, and Hale attempts to propose. Massimo returns, and protecting Kenzi, Hale is killed. Kenzi tries to get revenge, but is stopped by Vex, who mentions that he is Massimo's guardian. Evony is revealed to be Massimo's mother, and gave him to Vex years ago when he was a boy. Bo learns that not only is her father coming, but that to close the portal, she will need to give her heart. That is revealed to be Kenzi, who sacrifices herself. It ends with Bo visiting Kenzi's grave.
Valentín Bravo had always been a rather fearful child, afraid of everything from heights to spiders. 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 girl 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.
The second season centers on former FBI agent Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) and his niece, NYPD detective Max Hardy (Jessica Stroup) and their attempts to find serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) following Joe's faked death. After a new group, led by Lily Gray (Connie Nielsen) and her sons Mark and Luke (Sam Underwood), begins to develop and make public statements to lure Joe out of his hiding, Mike Weston (Shawn Ashmore) is re-recruited in order to find the new potential cult and teams with Ryan and Max to track down Joe and Lily. Meanwhile, Joe is back to his old ways as he, along with his right-hand Emma (Valorie Curry), begin to draw plans to turn a new group of followers to his will. Things take a turn when Joe's ex-wife and the woman Ryan had an affair with, Claire Matthews (Natalie Zea), again enters the picture after Ryan and Joe believed her to be dead.
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!"
The famous detective Shiro Tachi, who aims to be the world's number one detective, is in town and comes to Mackenzie to challenge her. Penelope turns up during their meeting and claims that her bananas have been stolen, and Tachi declares that the one to solve the case first will win their challenge. Mackenize investigates and discovers that there are no bananas left in the town, but gets a lead that the culprit might be hiding deep in the forest. Tachi's pet, Goldie, collapses, unbeknown to Tachi. Mackenize hunts down a doctor, who tells Mackenize that Goldie has a cold, something which is potentially fatal for an animal like her. Mackenize tries telling Tachi about Goldie's condition, but he doesn't pay it any mind until he is told that could kill her. Tachi entrusts the case's resolution to Mackenzie to be by Goldie's side. Mackenize and Inspector Daria discover the Cornstalker's hideout in the forest, where he is planning to use the stolen bananas to make a sentient "Banana Man". He is being aided by a scientist, who is the brother of the doctor. Mackenzie is able swap some of the bananas with spoiled ones, which causes Banana Man to be born improperly, thus stopping the cornstalker's plot.
Mackenize receives a request letter request supposedly from gnomes, asking her to save their town from being destroyed by a giant “Mecha Funghi”. As she asks around, she discovers that there have been sightings among townsfolk of garbage moving by itself. The trail eventually leads to gnomes who are living near the garbage dump in the forest. The gnome chief displays a deep prejudice for humans, who explains that gnomes have been taught for generations that humans are horrific creatures. After proving herself by finding the keys that allows access to the village, Mackenzie is informed that the gnomes have been taking garbage to use as a barricade whenever Mecha Funghi attacks. Mackenize, Penelope, and Chloe, help build barricade for the gnomes, only to discover that Mecha Funghi is very small and non-threatening by human perspective. Chloe “defeats” it by kicking it. Having been saved by humans, the gnomes open up to their company, and Mackenize contemplates on still not knowing what “Mecha Funghi” actually was.
Post-episode content reveals that Mecha Funghi was actually an alarm clock that Tachi illegally dumped, which awakens someone by flashing a laser-esque flashlight.
Cromwell becomes so distressed by a string of invention failures that he forcefully requests Mackenize to fire him and find a replacement. Meanwhile, Mayor Tom is holding a “car eraser” competition, in which participants compete to push erasers modelled into cars the furthest with a pen. Cromwell invents a modified car eraser as his “final invention”. However Mackenzie's record time is trumped by the former prime minister when he arrives. After some tips from the prime minister, Cromwell updates the car eraser. However Mackenzie's new record is beaten with a seemingly impossible record of 10 meters by the mad scientist who is working for the Cornstalker. Suspecting something suspicious, Mackenzie discovers that the Cornstalker is attempting to get the competition prize, an OOPArt crystal, to create a perpetual motion machine. A new determined Cromwell modifies the car again (this time not following the official regulations); Mackenzie sets a record of thousands of meters, and is awarded the crystal. Cromwell is revealed to be the former PM's old master inventor. Mackenize gives the crystal to the PM for safe keeping, and a newly reinvigorated Cromwell stays as Mackenzie's butler.
Chloe is concerned that Penelope has been acting “weirdly normal” lately. Mackenzie finds out that Penelope is studying hard at a prep school to become a “respectable adult”. Concerned that she is acting so out of character, Mackenzie investigates the prep school. While she witnesses Penelope at prep school, Chloe and Cromwell also meet Penelope at the office. The three eventually conclude there must be two Penelopes. Mackenize tricks the Penelope they know to be real into wearing a bell on her left wrist, so they can tell her apart from the fake Penelope. Her and Chloe track the prep school teacher to a park, where they learn that the teacher is being aided by the mad scientist. They are attempting to use a sun ritual which make the real Penelope vanish, replaced by the fake “studious”. Cromwell invents a special elemental cloud generator which can block the anti-quantum ray. Mackenzie uses it, and interrupts the ritual. At the school, the real Penelope comes face to face with her fake. The scientist and teacher explains that the “fake Penelope” was born out of the “real Penelope” and her repressed, subconscious desire to be a respectable student. Despite the instance that this side of herself is real and what Penelope actually wants, Mackenize and Chloe tell them that “their Penelope” is the only Penelope they love. The “real Penelope” chases the “fake Penelope” until she is able to touch her, causing the two of them to merge back into the one true Penelope.
During the run-up to Tanabata, all the towns people have fallen into a sleep like trance. For some reason, Mackenzie and Daria are the only people unaffected. As they investigates the townspeople, they finds one other person, the sweet shop Granny, who is also unaffected, although the pair are unable to understand what links the three of them together. Mackenzie receives a warning letter from the Cornstalker, warning that he will steal the townsfolks "hopes and dreams". The Cornstalker appears and mentions an enormous source of energy. Mackenzie goes to the former PM's mansion, believing the Cornstalker's words to be in reference to the OOPArt crystal, but the Cornstalker manages to make off with it. Mackenize and Daria eventually deduce that the only people who are not affected by the trance are those who haven't written a tanzaku (wish paper) for Tanabata, and conclude that the Cornstalker's plan is to steal the hopes and dreams of the townsfolk via their tanzaku, Mackenzie and Daria track the Cornstalker and the evil scientist to the top of the town's giant bamboo tree, where they are trying to use the crystal's energy in a plan to steal the hopes and dreams of everyone in the world. The scientist reveals that his motivation comes from his past as a doctor, akin to his brother. Seeing so much suffering made him believe that hope and ambition causes despair, and thus, that hope and ambition shouldn't exist. Mackenzie stops their plan by destroying the crystal. Its explosion sends Mackenize falling from the tree, but she is saved by Tachi, who hadn't gotten his hope stolen either, since he never wrote a tanzaku, not being a resident of the town. Everyone recovers their wishes, and the townsfolk return to normal.

Former KGB officer Valeri Volodin becomes president of Russia. 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 US 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 Kyiv. 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 Kyiv.
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 Kyiv, 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 Kyiv 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. All the workers have "gone out for sushi" — that is, they have had themselves converted into forms resembling marine life (the narrator is an octopus) in order to better function in microgravity. However, this transformation has also made them into a political underclass relative to the normal humans.
Uzeda, a Sicilian family faithful to the Bourbon kings, with the Unification of Italy in 1861 and the rise to power of Giuseppe Garibaldi and Vittorio Emanuele II, begins to lose his power, although Sicily remains in the hands of Prince Giacomo (Giacomo Uzeda).
A team of steel erectors has been redeployed to a steel mill construction site in a small town. 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.
When the young ironworker is hospitalized after falling from a great height, Katya gives word to stop smoking and to start a new life.
Nicola Palmieri (Rocco Papaleo) is a high school math teacher with a passion for music. He is the frontman of a local music band he formed with a group of friends from Maratea. Guitarist Salvatore Chiarelli (Paolo Briguglia) is a medical student who has somehow forgotten to graduate and fall in love; double bass player Franco Cardillo (Max Gazzè) is a fisherman at whom love has taken away word and purpose in life; drummer Rocco Santamaria (Alessandro Gassman), Salvatore's cousin, is a TV personality whose popularity is declining and hasn't been able to find a showbiz job in the last two years.
During the Summer, the quartet decides to sign up for the national theater-song festival in Scanzano Jonico, renaming themselves "Le Pale Eoliche" (the windmill blades). To get from Maratea to Scanzano Jonico, they need to cross Basilicata from its coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea to the one on the Ionian Sea. Nothing peculiar about this, with a little over 100 km to drive through in about one hour. That's when Nicola suggests leaving 10 days earlier and on foot, trying to find a purpose in life which they've lost.
They set themselves on to a picaresque trip, followed by a local church TV crew along with bored local journalist Tropea Limongi (Giovanna Mezzogiorno), daughter of a renowned local politician. During their long trek, the group walks through little-known backroads, with only a small wagon pulled by a white horse to transport supplies, instruments and two tents. They also rehearse the songs they will be performing at the festival, with impromptu concerts in the small villages they walk by.
This journey will prove therapeutic for everybody: Salvatore finds the willpower to complete medical school; Rocco finds a normal job; Franco starts talking again, uncovering a deep feeling towards Tropea in the meantime; Nicola finally completes one of his projects, showing his wife that he can be an assertive man.
Anthropologist Max Scarry (John Bach) mysteriously vanishes following his voyage to the island of Fjordland as part of his study on the reclusive Kiwi tribe Huwera Maori.

Mira (Sarita Choudhury) returns from Mumbai, but she and Saul (Mandy Patinkin) sleep in separate bedrooms, and the status of their relationship remains unclear.
The attack on Langley left a crater, and the death toll is revealed to be 219. The Iranian mastermind of the attack, Majid Javadi ("The Magician"), hasn't been seen in public since 1994. Six other members of the network that planned and carried out the attack on Langley have been identified and located by the CIA. After weighing his options, Saul eventually orders their simultaneous assassination. Peter Quinn (Rupert Friend) is in Caracas, Venezuela, where he decides not to place a bomb on his target's car upon seeing a boy in the back seat. He is given the order to attempt to kill his target (codenamed "Tin Man") by infiltrating his compound. Quinn shoots and kills his target but accidentally kills the boy as well. Elsewhere in the world, the other five targets are also taken out.
Carrie meets a redhead man while buying alcohol at a convenience store, and she sleeps with him that night. The next day, she sees the newspaper headline that an unnamed CIA officer slept with Brody. Carrie confronts Saul and accuses him of leaking the story. Saul is later called before the Intelligence Committee and asked to comment on the article. Saul doesn't give a name but says that the agent is bipolar and concealed it from her employers. Carrie watches Saul's testimony on live television and is distraught.
80 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, a young ''Tarbosaurus'' named Speckles, for his unique birthmark, lives with his older brother, Quicks, twin sisters, and mother. Speckles is left alone when a rogue ''Tyrannosaurus'' named One-Eye causes a massive stampede to kill Speckles' siblings, and personally kills his mother, in order to usurp their territory.
Four years later, Speckles has scraped by on his own, scavenging and raiding nests. One day while attempting to steal food from One-Eye, Speckles encounters a female ''Tarbosaurus'' named "Blue-Eyes" and the pair team up to hunt and survive together. Over the years, Speckles and Blue-Eyes attempt to maintain a hunting territory away from One-Eye. Eventually, however, One-Eye discovers their hunting grounds and again attempts to usurp their territory. After Blue-Eyes is hurt by One-Eye, Speckles fights him, and eventually defeats and drives away his old nemesis.
After defeating One-Eye, Speckles and Blue-Eyes reclaim Speckles' old family nest and hunting grounds. Now a mature adult pair with three young offspring, the family is happy until forced to flee from their territory due to a volcanic eruption. During the disaster, one of the children is killed and Blue-Eyes is wounded. After this, Speckles becomes the de facto alpha of a large migratory herd of dinosaurs fleeing the natural disaster. Two weeks into the journey, Blue-Eyes collapses from exhaustion. Seeing this, a pack of ''Velociraptors'' attacks the family, and though Speckles tries to hold them off, Blue-Eyes dies from her injury, forcing Speckles to leave her body behind in order to save their children.
After a long journey, the herd arrives at a new, fertile area in which to settle. However, Speckles once again encounters One-Eye, who has been driven out by the same natural disaster. Just as he did before, One-Eye causes the herbivores to stampede in order to ambush Speckles and his two babies. One-Eye kills one of Speckle's remaining children whilst the last, Speckles Jr., is knocked off a cliff into the ocean during the ensuing fight. Speckles dives into the sea to save him, but pursued by One-Eye. After a long fight in the ocean, One-Eye is attacked and eaten by a pair of ''Tylosaurus''. Speckles eventually reaches Speckles Jr. and returns him safely to shore.
In the closing monologue, Speckles wishes a peaceful, happy life for his son.
The fabled city of Dzamm in Africa is rumoured to be a land of wealth. Looking to exploit its rich resources, Captain Rawlings (Ralph "Eddie" Dunn) dispatches two of his henchmen (Wally West and George DeNomand) to find the hidden trail to the city. After killing a few natives of Dzamm along the way, the inept servants of Rawlings are eaten alive by a large pride of wild lions.
Nearby, jungle roamer Jungle Jim (Weissmuller) receives Li Wanna (Verdugo), the daughter of Dzamm's chief religious official Zoron (Nelson Leigh). Li Wanna seeks Jungle Jim's help in fighting the mercenaries led by Rawlings. It is revealed that the rumour is indeed true—stashed in the temple of Dzamm are crates of precious stones. After hearing news of the murdered Dzamm natives, Jungle Jim and Li Wanna hurry to the scene, just to find the henchmen's corpses. Seeing the lions, the agile adventurer and Li Wanna climb up a tree to safety. An African elephant approaches, scaring the beastly cats away.
Jungle Jim and Li Wanna return to Zoron's residence, where they strategically discuss a peaceful resolution to get rid of Rawlings and his team. They come to the conclusion that giving Rawlings a few diamonds is the best idea. Meanwhile, Wanna's brother Chot (Paul Marion) is hypnotised by businessman Calhoun's (Vitale) niece Norina (Dell). Chot falls in love with Norina and unknowingly spills some secrets of Dzamm to her. Norina and Calhoun turn out to be under Rawling's payroll.
Jungle Jim befriends a gorilla (Ray Corrigan) after rescuing it and its offspring from a ferocious lion. He names it Zimba. After this, he prevents Calhoun from getting to know the trail to Dzamm but gets captured by Rawling's followers. An empathetic Norina is in the midst of setting him free when she gets killed by Calhoun. Luckily, Jim's pet fowl Caw Caw unties his ropes and with that, the voyager breaks loose and knocks out some of Rawlings' men. However, he is left with no choice but to tell Rawlings the way to Dzamm when Li Wanna, who was finding Jim, gets captured.
They make it to the temple of Dzamm. While the criminals are busy raiding the priceless relics and other treasures, Zimba and his fellow gorillas attack the temple robbers, most of whom are killed. Captain Rawlings and his accomplice Wilson (George J. Lewis) manage to escape, holding Jungle Jim captive, but are killed by Zimba. Chot, who has been shot and mortally wounded, asks for forgiveness before he dies. With Rawlings and his fellow looters dead for good, order in Dzamm is restored.
''The Little Traitor'' is set in 1947 Palestine, when the area still was ruled by the British, tells how 12-year-old Proffi (Ido Port) befriends the hated enemy, in the form of English Sgt. Dunlop (Alfred Molina), and sticks with him despite the suspicions of friends and family.
