As described in a film magazine, finding married life irksome, Adrienne Landreth (Griffith) asks her husband Geoffrey (King) for permission to return to the stage. When he refuses to give it, she decides to take up her career anyway and sends for her unmarried twin sister Drina (Griffith) to take her place in the household. Geoffrey spends but a few hours with Drina before he must depart for the West on a business trip, but during that time he notices a difference in his supposed wife, a difference he hopes will result in patching the troubles in their marriage.

During his absence the stage production is whipped into shape for its New York City opening. Geoffrey returns from his trip on the day of the show's opening and Drina acting as his wife, still repulsing him but acting more tender then ever. He suggests they dine out and take in a theater show. They arrive at the theater where Adrienne is performing under the name Ruth Raye, arriving late and in the middle of one of her solo numbers. Geoffrey is bewildered by the sight of his wife on stage when she is supposedly sitting next to him. He is still in a daze when Adrienne spies him and collapses down a flight of stairs to the stage and is then carried to her dressing room. The curtain is wrung down and Geoffrey and Drina rush to the dressing room where Adrienne, the "Broadway Bubble," passes away. With her passing the electric lighted letters on the marque spelling out Ruth Raye go out one by one, and Geoffrey is left with Drina.

Glenn Quagmire holds his Quagfest to celebrate his 1,000th sexual conquest, which turns out to be with a largemouth bass. After Peter learns that Irish actor Liam Neeson is making a film about a vengeance-seeking Albert Einstein in Waterbury, Connecticut, his repeated drunken boasts about how he can beat Neeson in a fight exhaust the patience of Quagmire, Joe, and Cleveland, who decide to arrange for Peter to prove himself in a battle against Neeson. Peter tries various ways to meet Neeson. His first attempt was to dress as Mrs. Potato Head to lure him out – only to attract Colin Farrell. Then he sets up a fake confession booth, which draws Neeson, who confesses to killing hundreds of wolves and stealing items from 7-Eleven. When Peter states his reason for being there to security, he is arrested. While his friends work to raise his bail money, he is bailed out by Neeson, who is appalled by Peter boasting he can beat him up. Peter hits Neeson with a metal food tray, only to have the tray dented and Neeson uninjured. Before Neeson can take a punch at him, a flinching Peter offers him his services, to which Neeson agrees.

Meanwhile, Lois volunteers to be a class mother at Stewie's preschool, much to his chagrin, and becomes jealous when she pays attention to another infant, Landon. He tries various ways to get the better of Landon, such as making him swallow a whole grape and seducing his mother, which both fail. Stewie eventually reaches his breaking point and breaks down, confessing his envy to Lois, who tells him he shall always be her little baby, to which Stewie is relieved to hear and rubs it in Landon's face.

The tasks Neeson has Peter do are eccentric and humiliating, such as pretending to be him on jury duty to get out of a case against the Kraken from ''Clash of the Titans'', asking showering people to urinate in his hands, and updating Neeson's Twitter account. When Peter returns to his friends, he claims he did defeat Neeson. When Neeson texts him for another favor, he returns to Connecticut, and before Peter can do the favor, his friends arrive and Peter admits his lie. When Neeson once again asks Peter for the hand urination favor, Peter finally rebels - causing Neeson to smack him; they brawl and Neeson wins easily. Despite losing, Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe are amazed that Peter went through with the battle and impressed he wasn't killed. Peter then cheerfully says that the lesson of this entire saga was that "Oskar Schindler wasn't real, and neither was anything else in that movie", though Quagmire looks uncomfortable and says he doesn't think that was the lesson.

This story unfolds by introducing the audience to the fireman working at Engine House No.8. One fireman is veteran Frank ‘Dad’ Morton, played by Jean Hersholt. ‘Dad’ Morton is a widower. Though alone, he has assumed the responsibility of raising his two motherless children – a girl and her younger brother Jimmy. The children love hanging around the engine house with their dad.

On August 16, 2038, the International Peacekeeping Force (IPKF) headquarters receives a distress signal from undercover agent Franco Fukazawa in the Byflos Group's South Pole observation base, where it is under control by a scientist known as Dr. Kim. The IPKF's White Lightning team, led by captain Matt Coda, is sent to investigate. Minutes before arrival, the White Lightning's Lyger assault helicopter is shot down by surface-to-air missiles, separating Coda and lieutenant Carlos Potrero in the process. Coda emerges from the crash, and penetrates the South Base. Carlos also survives the attack, and makes radio contact with Coda throughout the game.

Over the course of the game, Coda and Carlos learns from Dr. Kim's sound recordings found in the South Base that a creature named "Kileak" is the first lifeform to have appeared on Earth, and the progenitor of all life on the planet. Kim found Kileak's DNA from an unknown pyramidal structure in the excavation pit, and used it to genetically engineer a race of mutant creatures. In other recordings, Byflos confronted Dr. Kim over his use of Kileak's DNA, and hid an "erosion gun" in his office for anyone who can stop Kim.

As Dr. Kim plans to use an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) to spread the mutant DNA all over the planet, Coda descends to one of the base's lower levels and stops an ICBM from launching. Advancing deeper into the South Base's excavation pit, Coda faces Kim, who turns himself into an alien-like monster. Coda manages to kill the creature, and escapes from the South Base. The voice of Kileak reveals to Coda that the human race began long after the creature's civilization was destroyed by a comet. The South Base collapses, and a space station containing Kileak ascends into space.

Tina is up for a promotion in her hall monitoring duties to its highest rank. Regular Size Rudy, a low ranking hall monitor, admires Tina for her stringent adherence to the rules, even writing up Gene and Louise for horsing around. Mr. Frond tasks Tina with delivering Zeke to the principal's office for his immediate suspension after breaking into the Coach Blevin's office. Rudy wants to join, but Tina tells him she will do it alone and tells him to finish his duties. Zeke begs her to let him go and tells her he did it for his grandmother, but Tina refuses to listen. He then asks if he can at least go to the bathroom and she allows him to. After some time passes, she realizes that Zeke has escaped out the bathroom window. She searches for him, unaware that Rudy has seen everything. Realizing that finding Zeke will be almost impossible when lunchtime rolls around, Tina turns to Gene and Louise for help in finding Zeke, offering them "permanent hall passes" in exchange for help in finding him. After getting help from Gene and Louise, Tina questions Jimmy Jr. about Zeke's whereabouts, who says that although he doesn't know for sure, he knows a hiding place he goes to sometimes.

Tina manages to find Zeke, escorting him to the principal's office again. On the way, Rudy confronts her, claiming that she was his hero, but has broken the rules and "gone dirty". He demands to take Zeke to the principal's office himself to expose her. As students flood the halls, Tina uses the distraction to lead Zeke through another path to the principal's office, hoping to get there before Rudy. On the way, Zeke pleads with Tina once again to let him go. He reveals that his grandmother is fond of mascots and scheduled for surgery and that he wanted to take the mascot from Coach Blevin's office and wear it for her at the retirement home to cheer her up. Tina is sympathetic, but says he should have asked permission. Zeke says that he did seek permission from Coach Blevins, who still said no. After barely evading Ms. LaBonz, Tina makes her way back inside the school through another entrance. Upon entering school however, they are intercepted by Rudy, who alerts Mr. Frond, who cancels Tina's promotion and takes Zeke to the principal's office.

Disgraced, Tina goes to the administrative office and overhears a phone conversation from Zeke's grandmother asking if he will visit her at the retirement home. Realizing that Zeke was telling the truth, she steals the mascot suit. She apologizes to Gene and Louise, and they help her bust Zeke out of the principal's office. She gives him the mascot suit and tells him to go. Mr. Frond confronts her and she protests that the law is too stringent and that people and their situations are complicated, and that ultimately, she believes Zeke. Frond insists that Zeke is a liar and that the story and phone call are a ruse Zeke concocted. He wagers her that if Zeke's story turns out to be fake, Tina will be punished with one month's detention and stripped of her hall monitor privileges. Tina states that if she wins, she only wants that Zeke's suspension be overturned, though Frond also sarcastically adds that he will also buy everyone ice cream. They, including Rudy, arrive at the retirement home and find Zeke's grandmother, but no sign of Zeke. Rudy sympathizes with Tina while Mr. Frond gloats and taunts her until Zeke comes out dancing in the mascot suit. Frond loses the wager and begrudgingly leaves to buy everyone ice cream.

The dog has earned Joe's trust that it will help protect his hens from danger, so he decided to keep the dog.

The film mostly follows Tommy, Ralph and Sophia, a group of children living on the same block. A demon begins to stalk them in the form of a talking, black, red-eyed dog named Labby. The dog-like demon takes them on a hellish ride through dimensions and time periods.

Chapter I: ''Tainted Milk''

On his way to school, a boy named Tommy encounters Labby, who tells him that his unborn brother is the Antichrist and that Tommy must kill him. Labby claims that his mother's breast milk will become tainted after having her second child.

Guided by Labby, Tommy is unable to kill his mother. Labby pulls her baby out from the womb, and bites off his father's penis. Tommy passes out and has visions where a fetus is trapped in a bubble, and his parents have mutated into anthropomorphic dogs.

He ponders his situation at a well, where a spirit named Monk asks him for his greatest wish. Tommy wishes his parents were still alive, and Labby says his wish will be granted if he gives him his virginity. Tommy has sex with Labby on top of his parents' corpses. When Labby leaves, Tommy clutches onto his unborn brother, and then proceeds to bury his parents and his brother.

Chapter II: ''Liquid Memories''

The serial killer/drug addict, introduced in the film as "The Man" at the well, routinely kills his victims in a church and extracts a memory gland that he uses to alter his own memories.

A prostitute offers sexual favors to a paraplegic veteran man in an alley. The man has a flashback and confuses the prostitute for the enemy. He pulls out her eye, leading her to kill him by stabbing him in the neck with a bottle. She arrives at the church where The Man promptly kills her. He injects himself with her memories, and experiences them, which includes imagery of shadow beings, demonic entities and faceless people. The Man fashions a gun and shoots himself.

Chapter III: ''The Mask That the Monsters Wear''

Young Ralph wears a mask to conceal his Siamese twin brother, and is routinely abused by his family. He has a crush on a classmate, a girl named Sophia, so he goes to her house and talks with her father, who gives him a VHS tape of Sophia being molested. Ralph dislikes that she is crying in the video, but her father responds by telling him to watch it again.

Ralph, at the well, is pushed in by Labby. He has a dream where Sophia asks him to take off his mask, he does so and she is not disgusted. He arrives at Sophia's house, where her father tells him to have sex with Sophia while he films.

Ralph comes home to find his father watching the new tape; he says he's proud of Ralph, and admits to raping Sophia. Ralph murders him with a baseball bat and shoots his mother. He arrives at Sophia's house and kills her father, along with one of two men filming another video. Labby tells Ralph to kill his twin, so he cuts off his twin's face.

Epilogue

Ralph returns to find the spirit, Tommy and Sophia at the well. The film ends with a view of the three children (Tommy, Sophia and Ralph) alongside the spirit (Monk), the prostitute and The Man, who is nailed to a cross.

John Channing (Milton Parsons) is an insane-asylum escapee. In her efforts to protect her brother from the authorities, John's sister Lorinda (Cecil Cunningham) opens the door for a series of grisly murders. Peter Thorne (Craig Stevens) and Mary Winfield (Elizabeth Fraser) try to stop John before he kills again.

As described in a film magazine, the Tigress (Guinan), who is famous for her quick draw and straight shooting, finds herself softened by love when she meets the Gent (McDonald) and his whisperings of a home for two, which make the Tigress believe in him. She entrusts her savings to his care so that he can prepare a home for them. When she learns that she has been betrayed, she kills the Gent. She buries her love so that when the Bostonian (Brady), a detective who had been on the trail of the Gent, offers her his name, she refuses it.

On arrival in Paris, Paco, an international terrorist, is arrested, while his mistress Laura joins his accomplices. They all belong to terrorist and anarchist splinter group, Ravachol-Kropotkin, led by Paco. Meanwhile, Louie (Loulou) Dupin learns that his grandmother is dead and he is the sole heir of her Paris apartment. He also goes to Paris.

Upon his arrival, he is pleasantly surprised to find two young women in his apartment: Valérie and Laura. Although he originally intended to make them leave, Laura charms him and changes his mind. She and her partners (including Valérie and her boyfriend who specializes in explosives) wish to keep their homes which are also hiding places for weapons and ammunition, and key points for their next attack. His seduction Loulou is not difficult; his accomplices are also trying to have him assassinated, which for lack of luck is more complicated. When he began to search all the rooms in search of gold louis purchased and hidden by her grandmother, Laura is forced to sleep with him to distract him. However, the treasure is found quickly, and they can concentrate on their plan.

The conspirators kidnap Alix Lefebure, the son of a prominent banker and industrialist, in order to exchange him for Paco. The evening of the exchange, Louie and Laura spend the night at the hotel. Laura leaves him a small gift of explosives before joining the others. One of Louie's friend Alvaro's pet monkey saves him by taking the package to a meeting of emirs. On returning home, Louie finds the apartment empty, with only a few weapons left behind. He understands that he has been deceived when he sees Laura, Paco and the rest of the group on TV, running away by plane.

Having found fake passports hidden behind a mirror, he moves to Mexico, where Laura had said she had met Paco. The monkey and his owner are wanted for the bomb that exploded at the hotel, and also travel with him. Loulou, wanted for the abduction of Lefebure, intends to lay hands on Laura, to the chagrin of Alvaro. After a long discussion, Loulou finally resolves to return to France. That is when they encounter one of the terrorists, and follow him to their new hideout. Loulou helps the others to load a mysterious box in a truck to the Yucatán. Back at the hideout, he discovers that Valérie's boyfriend has died. He is arrested shortly after.

Together with the French police, who believes them to be accomplices of Paco, the Mexican police stage the escape of Loulou and Alvaro helped by guerrillas. They hope to follow them to Paco. Loulou and Alvaro escape their surveillance, and are found in Cancun during the (real-life) North–South Summit on the Third World. They see terrorists fly an extra pillar to the Aztec pyramid near the meeting place during the night. While inspecting the curious addition, they are captured by Paco and Laura. Taken in a Jeep driven by Valérie, they escape thanks to Alvaro monkey. They then neutralize other terrorists, and reveal to Valérie the death of his boyfriend, killed on the orders of Paco. The latter then decides to help Loulou and Alvaro remove the pillar by helicopter. It actually contains a nuclear missile. It falls into the sea, and explodes. Laura, brought along by Loulou is finally seduced by him. They are to have a child.

The film follows protagonist José Real (Boris Ferdinandov) in his journey from prison to the real world. Real was imprisoned for life for trying to unionize a South American oilfield, and attempting a strike. After serving 10 years of his sentence, he is allowed one day to see his family, an honor from which he will not return. Unbeknownst to him, he is being followed by an agent with orders to assassinate him.

After hopping onto a train to meet his family, Real accidentally falls asleep, and misses his stop. Realizing this, he jumps from the train to try and get back to his stop. Enjoying his newfound freedom, Real once again falls asleep, this time on a boulder, before resuming his journey to his wife and child. He finally finds his house, which is empty of his wife. His father and son are there, however, and tell him of a new strike going on at the local Hillside Inn.

Real arrives at the strike, as does the agent trailing him and the police. Real is ordered to return to the prison. He declines, and declares he will not return. A firefight thus breaks out between the police, and the workers. The film ends as Real rushes home to brandish a gun to fight the police. As several workers are arrested and put in prison, they hear of Real leading the new strike.

The movie begins with Peter Snowden, a man in his late 30s, recording a video of his confession to murdering his mother. He explains that she was unwilling to allow him, an equal contributor to their household expenses, to have the house to himself for the purpose of entertaining an old military buddy. He goes on to explain that he feels no guilt for the crime but does regret the amount of blood. Peter appears to be a type of vlogger, as he admonishes himself that he can not upload this video and shuts the camera off.

The next day, Peter sits at the kitchen table singing happily and enjoying a bowl of what appears to be Froot Loops. And as he heads off to work, he seems to forget for a moment that the previous night he murdered his mother, because he calls to her closed bedroom door to let her know he's leaving. His face registers the new reality.

Peter returns from work venting about his day, but reassures himself that no one will ruin his good mood because he is about to prepare a great meal because he deserves it. For the second time in the film, the viewing audience notice that Peter sings songs to himself that are more suited to the 1960s or '70s and are no longer current hits. And later his wardrobe will validate that he is stuck in another time period. Peter sits down to enjoy his meal but appears to be lonely as he sits at the dinner table. The next scene is Peter sitting in front of the television, attempting to watch something but realizing he needs his glasses. As he checks his pockets and the cushions on the couch, his facial expression lets us know he remembers where they are and that he dreads going to retrieve them. He quickly goes into his mother's room and comes out with glasses covered in his mother's blood.

The next scene introduces us to Edward. Peter practices calling Edward several times, inviting him over for the dinner he was asking his mother to allow him, which led to her murder. After getting the courage to dial the number, he reaches Edward's wife, Gloria. He makes small talk asking about the children and then asks to speak with Edward. After being told he was unavailable, he leaves a message and begins recording for his online audience, letting them know he has no expectation that she will give Edward the message. He decides that Edward will come to dinner on Friday, even though they have not spoken. He even begins contemplating a menu.

The next day, the doorbell wakes Peter and a package is left at the door. It is a makeup mirror his mother obviously ordered before she died. The mirror seems to represent her throughout the remainder of the movie. It resides on the kitchen table where his mother may have sat during their morning meals; he speaks to it often as if it were she. He receives a call from his sister, Vickie, and thus begin conversations with the outside world where he lies and deceives others about the whereabouts of his mother. He tells Vickie that their mother is out and complains about the purchase of the mirror.

Peter, drinking and smoking, relishing in the good fortune of having the house to himself for the very first time, begins a barrage of phone calls to Edward's answering machine. He shares how much he misses him and goes from pleading for a return call to cursing Gloria for standing in the way of his friendship with Edward.

The next morning, the scent of rotting flesh coming from underneath his mother's door begins to become unbearable and Peter stuffs a towel in the crack. He goes off to work and returns with an iPhone and a bluetooth headset. That evening, he retrieves the mail and notices a letter to his mother. After preparing a cup of tea and telling the mirror/mother to hold on, he opens the letter and reads it. It's from an old friend, Charlene Carruthers, from Mobile, AL telling Lillian, his mother, about the goings on in Mobile and expresses concerns she and her husband have about the last letter from Lillian. They pray Peter will meet a Christian woman to marry, and that Lillian should not love Peter more than God and thus allow him to do anything against God's will. The letter is so upsetting to Peter that he types a response from his mother to Charlene. The letter states what a good son he is, that he takes excellent care of her and that he had his friend Edward over for a wonderful dinner for the three of them.

Peter decides to use his new iPhone to make another attempt to reach Edward and is finally successful. His joy is palpable when he turns his face to the wall and tells Edward how badly he's missed him. He explains that he's called for days and that Gloria has been preventing his calls from being received. He shares the news that his mother has "moved away" and that he wants him to come to dinner to celebrate. Miraculously, Edward is available the very day he told his online viewers, Friday.

Now Peter has to prepare the house for his dinner guest and, first things first, mother must be removed from the house. He wraps her in his grandmother's quilt, caresses her hand for the last time, and drags her from the room. As he leaves, we see a lock on the door as if Lillian had been afraid of Peter and locked her door to keep him out. He puts her in the trunk of the car, along with a shovel, and drives away, presumably to bury her. The next day he calls Vickie on his new phone and, after explaining to her that their mother knows about the phone and that they are not paupers who cannot afford it, he shares the good news that he and mother are redecorating the house. We learn that their father left them 30 years ago and that Peter is not concerned about the costs of the work, as it will just be billed to his MasterCard. Peter vents to mother via the mirror about his frustration with all the work he will have to do on the house and that this could have been done 10 years ago with the money from the settlement. A call from Mrs. Carruthers from Mobile interrupts his lunch; again he lies about his mother's whereabouts.

Peter tells his online viewers about his exciting dinner plans, possible menu items, and thanks them for their comments. Then he introduces them in a later video to the tropical fish he bought for Edward to make his home a sanctuary for him. Adam and Eve are the fishes' names; Adam the fish has just left his wife. Peter goes through the house the next day looking for the espresso machine. He explains to his viewers that he and Edward love an after dinner espresso and explodes over his mother having hidden it from him out of spite. He unsuccessfully tries to purchase a new one over the phone, but he has charged his MasterCard to the limit and cannot get approved for an increase. He finally locates the machine in the attic.

Sitting outside on the patio, Peter finally shares with his viewers the story of meeting Edward. We find out that he was in the military with Edward. He explains that the military was too difficult for him, which seems to mean he was discharged. That, coupled with the murder and his medications, implies mental health issues that may have contributed to his leaving the military. Peter eludes to a misunderstanding he and Edward had that they need to resolve.

The next day, Peter is painting the dining room and explaining to Vickie why their mother does not want to talk to her anymore. He attempts to convince her to send him money for an airline ticket so they can send their mother to Mobile to visit Mrs. Carruthers. Later that day, Mrs Beasley from church calls to check on Lillian because she missed bridge at church. Peter explains she has been ill and rushes off the phone when the eggs he's cooking begin burning on the stove. Peter ends his night with prayer.

The next day, the BIG DAY, we see Peter with a new look. His hair is texturized, similar to styles in the 1960s and '70s, reinforcing that he is out of date with his look. He begins singing around the house as he cooks, cleans, and works out. He has another discussion with Vickie reaffirming that their mother wants nothing to do with her. He makes some final touches around the house and then begins getting ready. We see from his wardrobe that he hasn't been shopping in decades; he finally decides on what looks like a suit he wore to prom. He walks down the hall looking cleanly dressed and quite dapper in a burgundy suit with white shirt and matching tie. He waits for his guest.

After waiting 45 minutes and updating his online viewers that he may have given Edward the wrong directions, he calls Edward to check on him. Gloria answers the phone, so he pretends to be a Mr. Jones calling for business reasons. When she refuses to allow him to speak with Edward, he begins to unravel, threatening her that he will not allow her to ruin what he has sacrificed so much for. And we see what may have happened when he murdered his mother. He takes a baseball bat and trashes the dining room, bashing a blue female statue to pieces. Broken and emotionally drained, he explains to Eve the fish that he now knows what must be done. He and Edward will be together, either in this world or the next.

Peter is awakened the next morning by Vickie's call; she tells him that a murder has been reported on the news. He turns the TV on and hears that an African American female's body has been found and it is being considered a homicide. He tells her he must call her back and washes his face. His day is filled with multiple calls from Mrs. Carruthers, Mrs. Beasley, and Pastor Barrons asking about Lillian's whereabouts. He provides each with a different story or lie, reassuring them that she is fine and visiting friends in Mobile AL. He later calls Gloria to apologize for his erratic behavior and violent threats the night before and announces he will be moving. He gets a suitcase and begins packing for a trip. He shares with his viewers that he and Edward are going on a trip west. They will live alone in a house in the country, going to town for groceries in cowboy hats and boots. He is interrupted by a call from Edward.

He excitedly shares his plans for the two of them to run off together and finally be a couple. Edward tells him something that devastates Peter. He attempts to call Edward back but it goes straight to voicemail. Greatly disappointed, Peter retrieves his packed suitcase from the trunk of his car and puts his clothes and toiletries away then cleans up the mess from his tantrum the night before. He sits to type a letter of apology and suicide to Edward. Peter retrieves a shoe box filled with letters written to Edward by Peter, returned unopened. He gets all the medications from the bathroom and swallows them, then goes out to the car, where he has taped a hose to the tailpipe, and waits for the car to fill with fumes. Unable to keep the pills down, he throws up, then turns the engine off.

The next morning, Robert Beasley from church comes by the house, or does he? Peter looks out the peephole of the door, but there's no one there. There appears to be the shadow of a shoulder and it looks as if someone tries to break into the back door of the house but when Peter looks out the window to the front of the house there is still no one there and no vehicle in the driveway. Leaving the viewer to question if there was anyone at the door at all. Peter then sits at the table to eat his breakfast, but after seeing himself in the mirror, the mirror that also appears to be Lillian, he closes it and returns it to her bedroom. He returns to his viewers, now bald, and tells them about his brother Bobby's death. The camera pans to a memorial plaque dating Bobby's life from '62 to '81. Since Peter was only 6 in '81 it dawns on the viewer that the clothes Peter wears throughout the film must be those of his brother Bobby. He's been wearing Bobby's clothes throughout the film. Peter met Edward 18 years ago and knew that he and his mother would be great friends; now he reconciles himself to the fact that he has lost them both.

Peter receives one last call from Vickie where he seems to confess that their mother is dead. He tells Vickie that their mother loved her and gives her permission to contact the police now. He dresses, then gets a shotgun from the cabinet outside. He makes his final recording to his viewers and announces that the police are inside the house and coming down the hall. He thanks his viewers for their comments and offers words of wisdom and advice to hug your children. He seems to resign himself to being killed by the police for appearing to be armed and dangerous, despite the gun's being unloaded. Then quotes a verse from Revelations: "He who testifies to the things says yes I am coming soon. Amen." To prevent his viewers from watching his death, he then shuts the camera off and waits for the police to enter the bedroom.

Joselito is a boy whose mother left town when he was just a newborn. He lives with the grandfather, the village bell ringer, and his best friend is the sacristan. A fan of singing, he has not given up hope of ever meeting his mother.

The film tells the story of Burro, a boy from Romagna who works in the small cinema of his country. He falls in love with a big screen actress he sees in every woman he meets. With her he will have three "meetings". In the last, the woman will be a gypsy who points out to him the dead father in a dog.

Elizabeth is the star of a successful cooking show and author of several cookbooks. Alexander, her manager, sees a heroic forest ranger named Jefferson on the television news, saying he has lost his cabin in a fire and wishes he could get a home-cooked Christmas dinner. Alexander arranges for Elizabeth to do a special live show on Christmas, where she will cook a Christmas dinner for Jefferson. In reality, Elizabeth can't cook and trying to keep Jefferson and the viewing public from finding out may be a little difficult, especially on a live show.

The film begins with a baby, Sebastian, being born. After Sebastian viciously murders the doctors who delivered him, his mother (Sara Malakul Lane) realizes that there is something seriously wrong with the child. Over the course of the movie, Sebastian brutally murders many people and tragedy strikes many others. Mahari (Jesus Guevara) attempts to steal the baby from Sebastian's birth parents many times and eventually does. He steals Sebastian in order to embrace his evil calling. Police officers attempt to kill Mahari but Mahari and his companions use Sebastian to murder them. The movie ends with all the main characters dead, and their deaths were associated in some way to Sebastian.

Despite the end of his marriage and the promise to his new girlfriend Lauretta to close the racetracks, Bruno Fioretti known as "Mandrake" has not lost the habit of playing horses. In fact, he continues undeterred to bet together with his new partners: "Big cat", an unemployed 40-year-old who still lives with his parents from whom he steals money for bets, and the "Engineer", an out-of-course law student. The three, after an excellent start due to the computer skills of the engineer, systematically start losing again, until one day, during a race, Mandrake notices that a horse that always comes last, named "Come va va", is aesthetically identical to Pokémon, a multi-winning horse owned by Count De Blasi. At that point he conceives a scam of his own: bought cheaply "How's it going", he secretly swaps the two horses in order to raise Pokémon's prices, making the jerk run and lose in his place. Aurelia, a former flame of Mandrake, and the accountant Antonio Faiella, a Neapolitan cheated by Mandrake, are also involved in the scam.

Once the exchange has been made, Mandrake and associates must obtain the money for the bet. To help Mandrake comes his former partner Armando, known as "Er Pomata", who everyone believed dead and instead had fled to Australia to escape creditors. With his help, Mandrake and his associates set up a scam against the butcher's son "Manzotin", but they manage to take away only a thousand euros.

To obtain an adequate sum of money, Cozzaro Nero is then cheated, thanks to the double game of Aurelia who reveals to the loan shark the scam engineered by Mandrake and convinces him to bet 25,000 euros on Pokémon at the next race, and then divides the proceeds to the 50%. But in reality the others have made a fake exchange of the horses, so the horse is still running, which of course loses. With a stratagem, the 25,000 euros of the bet end up in the hands of Mandrake, who has, in the meantime, registered the horse in another race in Montecatini.

Obviously by running Pokémon in its place, the race is easily won by Mandrake's horse, but Count De Blasi, using a private investigator, has in the meantime discovered everything, so Mandrake and associates avoid the complaint, but find themselves without even the money to return to Rome. Forced to get off the train at the first station, Mandrake and Pomata find themselves in front of a booth with the game of three cards: the two end up playing each other, losing it, the last thing left: the gold watch of the First Communion that Aurelia had given shortly before in Mandrake.

The pledges are taken to an off-campus site in the woods, where they are told they either need to drink large quantities of beer, or if they fail they need to sodomize and then kill a goat. They pass the test, and are told the hazing is over. During the crossing ceremony, Brad becomes upset that his brother did not attend and confronts him. Their argument becomes heated and they almost fight each other. Brett says Brad does not belong in the fraternity after seeing how bad the hazing process was.

Events culminate when Will, Brad's pledge brother, dies of a heart attack while exercising on the track field and his body was shown to be covered in bruises from hazing.

When the heat wave eventually causes a total blackout that shuts down the brokerage firm where Frank works, he and Laura decide to relocate to a mountain cabin in a remote small town—which is also affected by the heat, blackout, and water shortage.

On the way to the cabin, the Taylors' car is taken from them; and they are forced to walk eight miles to the town. When the Taylors reach the town, they go to see Dr. Grayson, who appears to be Laura's old family physician. Dr. Grayson advises Laura that it is important for her to rest given the stress she has been under in the hot, dry conditions.

After Laura has seen the doctor, the Taylors go to the cabin and find two young hikers have taken shelter there. After being briefly angry, the Taylors decide to allow the hikers to stay.

Laura rests in the cabin. However, she still gives birth prematurely.

After the baby is born, Dr. Grayson states the baby cannot survive without being in an incubator, particularly because of the extreme conditions. Dr. Grayson also states that he not only has no incubator but that he would be unable to run one as he has no fuel for his generator. (He is out, and the pumps fuel stations use are powered by electricity). However, with the assistance of the hikers and two town residents, Frank is able to build and power a makeshift incubator.

When the baby has been placed in the incubator, the characters hear that it is raining, which—in the movie—indicates the heat wave has broken and the water shortage will end.

In Naples in 1821, Alphonse de Lamartine, a young poet belonging to a noble French family, ventures on a lampara with local fishermen. A storm hits them; luckily they manage to get to the shores of Procida, where the young man is welcomed into the family of Andrea, one of the fishermen. Here he meets Graziella, a young and beautiful girl with whom a good friendship is born immediately, and he wins the sympathy of the whole family by buying back the boat that was destroyed. One evening he reads some passages from the novel Paolo e Virginia. The story particularly strikes Graziella, who already seems to have experienced her fate. The following morning, Alphonse, pressed by the French consul to return to Paris, promises Graziella that he will return soon. During her absence, she Graziella prepares a coral depicting the hermit's hut, a place on the island where they had spent time, to give to Alphonse. She begs Andrea to take him to the French consulate and hand him over to the young man, who has already left. Afflicted by her prolonged absence, Graziella accepts with consternation her engagement to her cousin Cecco. On the eve of the ceremony, the grandparents go to Naples to buy clothes and there they meet Alphonse, who has just arrived, who is returning with the two elders to Procida. Here is the disconcerting news: Graziella has run away from home. Attempts to find it fail until Alphonse sees the coral on which the hut is depicted. He goes to the place and finds her. There they exchange love for each other, promising to spend a happy life together. A new intervention by the consul forces Alphonse to return to his parents again in France, who dissuade him from marrying a girl not of the same social rank and promising him that his poems will be published by a well-known publisher. Graziella, waiting for her made more and more lasting, slowly wears out. No doctor can identify the disease that both mentally and physically afflicts the girl. At the end of her strength, Graziella writes a farewell letter to Alphonse, arguing that "dying can't be worse than living without him". Having received the letter, he hurriedly rushes to Italy. When he arrives in Procida an unusual silence welcomes him, broken only by the touch of the church bells. The angel who is accompanied to heaven by the procession is the beloved Graziella.

Set in 1982, Molly is a teenage girl living in Michigan with her widowed mother Jean, and younger brother, Michael. When Jean marries Dave, a writer and widower, the new family moves to an isolated rural church, converted into a house, outside the small town of Detroit. On the way, they stop at a psychiatric hospital to pick up Dave’s preadolescence daughter, Heather, who has lived there for three years, suffering the trauma of seeing her mother die in a house fire.

While exploring, Heather is attracted by a blue butterfly, following it deeper into the woods. Later, when exploring the graveyard adjoining the churchyard; cared for by kindly old Mr. Simmons; they find a memorial plaque (not a grave) for a six-year-old girl with the initials H.E.H., the same initials as Heather. Molly and Michael follow up with Mrs. Williams, the local librarian, who finds records and photos explaining that the plaque commemorates Helen Harper, who died with her parents in a fire in 1886, none of whose remains were found.

Heather makes friends with the ghost of Helen. Helen leads her to the ruins of her former house beside a river, and the two play there regularly. Besides Heather, Molly is the only one who can see Helen– a gift that Molly shares with her dead father, who had been considered mentally unstable for his visions. When Molly tries to tell the rest of the family about Helen, they think she's crazy. Only Mr. Simmons believes her, as his departed wife Rose shared the same gift when she was alive. He also warns Molly to be careful, as a number of young girls have gone missing over the years after befriending Helen’s ghost (a girl is seen walking into the river during the opening credits).

Molly, trying to foster a relationship with Heather, keeps an eye on her to make sure she stays safe. When Heather runs away to Helen's house, Molly’s father appears to her in a dream to warn her. Molly wakes and runs after Heather to make sure nothing happens. When she gets there, she sees a vision of how Helen accidentally closed a trap door, which she wasn't able to unlock when her parents were in the basement. She inadvertently knocks a candle over but stays too long in the ensuing fire as she attempts to open the trap door. The locked basement eventually kills her parents, and a burning Helen ran into the river, where she drowned. Heather tries to join Helen in the river and starts to drown. Molly runs in to save her, bringing the unconscious Heather to shore and resuscitating her. Heather reveals that she accidentally killed her mother when trying to cook for her, starting a house fire. She believes that she and Helen, whose story is similar, truly understand each other.

Molly finds the trap door to the basement in the ruins and, with Helen's help, gets it open. Inside, they find the corpses of Helen's parents, whose spirits had been trapped. The blue butterfly, the nickname that Helen's parents called her by, lands on the corpses. Michael arrives in time to join Molly and Heather as they all watch the spirits of Helen's parents, finally freed, depart to the heavens with Helen.

Consisting of a variety of short stories tied together by a larger plot, each segment introduces an issue that the characters deal with. All scenes take place in one location and the audiences view is of the park bench and its immediate area. However, there are some exceptions such as the scene where the thief runs through the city, eventually arriving in the park. There are breaks between days, simulating that nothing interesting happens on some days. The days are titled on screen to indicate a passage of time. Without this, the scenes would appear to occur on the same day because the weather and time of day don't appear to change. However, for scenes that occur right after the previous one, the title is omitted as for scenes for Day 11 - Sisters and Day 13 - Closure.

Day 1 - Coffee

Josh meets Lita in the park. She appears to be troubled by something so he offers her a cup of coffee to help ease her stress. They engage in a humorous conversation but a paging signal on Lita's phone ruins the atmosphere and the two head off immediately to the destination mentioned in the page.

Day 3 - Moving On

June is on a train holding a red rose but she becomes distressed when its leaves fall apart. She arrives in the park to meet her husband, Michael. They talk about their children, June's sister's relationships and eventually their own. Michael urges June to move on with her life and put his tragic death behind her. They embrace and have a passionate kiss. Before June leaves, Michael gives her a rose then fades away. As presented, one could speculate that the scene could play out in an infinite loop since June had a rose in the beginning and at the end, in a way representing her failing to break the cycle and move on with her life.

Day 5 - Family

Trix joins Carmidy for lunch. They enjoy some conversation before Carmidy reveals her desire to have children with her former boyfriend. Trix, all too eager for Carmidy to move forward, agrees then they leave to return to work.

Day 7 - Choice

Lita and Josh appear again, this time next to a river in the city. After some humorous discussion about pets, Josh reveals that he submitted a request for transfer to a team that specializes in investigating strange and unusual events. Lita becomes visibly and verbally distraught before the paging signal on Josh's phone interrupts and the two go to the scene.

Day 9 - Siblings

Hope meets brother Destin in the park for an annual family get together. Their brother, Moff, arrives a few minutes later after Hope and Destin talk about his childish past. After being out of touch for a year, each has undergone significant changes. Moff and Destin express their happiness at Hope's slimmer figure, Destin says he's finishing up medical school and Moff is engaged. Moff has apparently become more mature with his childish antics behind him. However, after Destin talks about how proud he was of Moff defending him when others taunted him about being adopted, Hope reveals that after doing some research, she discovered that she was also adopted.

Day 11 - The Hidden

Zenia, an Obsidian from The Magnate civilization, is held captive in a dark room interrogated by an unknown and unseen being. Only its deep ominous voice is heard. What appears to be a spotlight is directed at Zenia's face. However, the light isn't completely stationary so perhaps it is illuminated from the interrogator. Zenia is questioned about her mission on Earth. She explains that she and Essix were sent to "pacify" the terrorist threat by killing them and destroying their arsenal of weapons. In doing so, they discovered residual energy from weapons made by their enemy, The Quaazen, but don't know how humans acquired alien technology originating from a distant galaxy. Recovering from injuries from her fight with the terrorists, Zenia quickly materializes away from her captors.

Day 11 - Sisters

Some time later, another Obsidian is in the park where Zenia and Essex were captured. Her superior, The Overseer, materializes and confirms Zenia and Essix's safe return but is concerned why she is still on Earth. The Obsidian explains she is investigating how the humans may have gotten Quaazen weapons and expresses her longing to return home. The Overseer acknowledges how The Obsidian's personality is like their mother's and The Obsidian acknowledges how The Overseer's personality is like their father's. This leads to concern of a greater threat than the Quaazen, The Reapers, trans-dimensional beings whose only goal is to harvest all forms of energy.

Day 13 - Thief

A man cautiously runs through the city streets constantly looking around if he is being followed. He stops in a secluded area of the park and begins to look through a bag he has just stolen. Finding cash, a wallet and a cellphone, he plays a voicemail on the phone. The voicemail is by a man to his wife apologizing for his short temper and explains what he is doing to solve his problem. At the conclusion of the voicemail, the thief becomes conflicted with guilt, pushes the bag and its contents to the side then walks aways without taking anything. Throughout the scene, the thief is never seen speaking. The only voice is from the voicemail coming from the cellphone's speaker. The viewer is left wondering if the voice on the phone was probably the thief's conscience all along.

Day 13 - Closure

Lita and Josh traced the stolen bag to the park where the thief left it. It seems when the thief retrieved the voicemail, it triggered something which could be traced. Lita tries to explain this but Josh disagrees. Lita returns playful remarks then suddenly embraces Josh and gives him a passionate kiss. Lita says "YES" but Josh is confused. Lita reminds him of the dream he told her many times about proposing on the Spanish Steps in Italy, but didn't when they actually were on vacation there. This was enough for Josh to pull out the engagement ring from his pocket and confesses waiting for the right moment and puts it on Lita's finger. Both relieved, they hug and kiss then Lita's phone rings. Instead of another call to investigate another crime, it's a text from Lita's mother saying her phone was on and she heard the whole proposal. Josh picks up his phone reading a message that Lita's parents called his parents about the news. Thinking that all surprises have been revealed, Lita briefly mentions a baby shower in a comment peaking Josh's curiosity. The viewer is left wondering if Lita was distressed in the beginning because she was pregnant but not married to Josh or maybe she was just hinting at wanting to be.

Day 14 - Scouts

Two alien scouts from a race formally a part of The Magnate civilization, materialize in the park. The leader, Onyx, after observing human relationships over the past 14 days, expresses disappointment that humans are perhaps weak by constantly engaging in trivial conflicts. Saph, on the other hand, believes their good qualities is actually a strength that is worth considering. Onyx describes The Reaper threat in detail. The scene ends from the opposite view for the first time showing Onyx and Saph in the foreground and the cityscape in the background.

Bonus Scene - Subversive

On February 28, 2016, a 12-minute film titled, Subversive, screened at the Anthology Film Festival in New York City. Not a part of the "Day" scenes, Subversive blurs the line between reality and fiction and can be viewed without ever having seen 14 Days. A talk show host interviews the director of 14 Days, portrayed by a woman, while the real-life director, Joseph Villapaz, makes a cameo appearance as an on-set producer. This starts off "normally" but suddenly turns darker with an edgy sci-fi and horror tone. The film has since been added to 14 Days, however, it has also been submitted to film festivals as a separate short film and selected to the ''Prelude2Cinema Presents Film Festival'', ''Women's Only Entertainment Film Festival'' and ''Los Angeles CineFest''.

On June 12, 2016, Subversive will be screening at the International Horror Hotel Film Festival. It has also been awarded an Honorable Mention.

'''Opening Introduction''' (narrated by Ray Liotta, who narrated the entire series):

From the chaos of the New York City streets, rises a legion of visionary gangsters. Vicious killers and criminal geniuses determined to create their own version of the American Dream. Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, Vito Genovese and Frank Costello form alliances and revolutionize the underworld. Over a 50-year period, these ambitious, young immigrants come together to form the American mafia. Making millions, killing thousands, and changing the face of crime forever. Their authority stretches across two continents, impacting global wars and creating empires.

The series chronicles the lives of a close-knit, Irish-American Chicago Catholic family whose matriarch takes their reputation in the community very seriously. In the pilot episode, their perfect image is shattered when each family member has a secret revealed to the community: middle child Kenny is gay, oldest child Jimmy is anorexic, youngest child Shannon is running a money scam and might be atheist, and parents Eileen and Pat are no longer in love and wish to divorce. Subsequent episodes explore the new family dynamic as Pat and Eileen separate and everyone reconciles Kenny's sexuality with their faith.

The film is a vaudevillian story about a solid, venerable, jealous husband (Oleg Tabakov) searching for his frivolous wife (Marina Shimanskaya) winds up in someone else's apartment and finds himself under the bed of an unknown woman (Marina Neyolova) together with an unknown man (Stanislav Sadalsky) who is also there by accident.

Sayaka Kudo is a 'gyaru' who wears miniskirts and dyes her hair blonde. Although she is a second year senior high school student, she is on par academically to 4th grade elementary school students. She frequently transferred schools because she was unable to make friends. Eventually she attends a private all-girls high school where she plays and enjoys her extra-scholarly activities while skipping study altogether- here, she is caught and suspended for carrying cigarettes.

To prepare her for her university entrance examination, her mother sends her to Seiho Cram School. When her tutor, Yoshitaka Tsubota, hears about Sayaka's academic problems, he makes it his personal goal to help her enter the university of her choice — Keio University (considered one of the most prestigious and difficult to enter universities in Japan) — and to get back at her father.

Her father (who aims to get her brother Ryuta into pro baseball despite the latter's reluctance) labels her as an "air-head" and says she and her mother are being scammed by the cram school. Likewise, she is repeatedly belittled by her high school teacher, who believes that she is destined for failure. Sayaka becomes determined to study hard to prove them wrong. Over the course of the summer holidays of her second year, through to the exams at the end of her third year in high school, Sayaka works diligently, going without sleep to the extent that she nods off in her classes, forgoing dates with her friends, and dying her hair back to black and cutting it, to show her resolve. Her results progressively improve on practice tests and her academic deviation value increases tremendously from 30 to 70 in this short span of time. Despite facing numerous hardships along the way and nearly giving up, Sayaka, now with her whole family's support, is admitted to Keio University. The film concludes with a comedic montage of the various characters as they sing or dance to the ending song.

Kate and Meg are childhood friends and roommates in Seattle experiencing stressful times. Kate is a high school English teacher who is being pressured by Principal Moss to resign, while Meg is a struggling cosmetics saleswoman. After a night of drinking, Meg suggests they go on vacation together to escape their stressful lives. Kate is reluctant, but ultimately acquiesces as Meg had already booked non-refundable tickets to Fort Lauderdale using Kate's frequent flyer miles.

On the plane, Kate and Meg are seated next to Ryan, a handsome firefighter on his way to a wedding. Both women are immediately attracted to him and begin to shamelessly flirt with him. A few hours into the flight, the plane is diverted to St. Louis due to a hurricane warning. The women are taken to the local Sheraton and run into Ryan, who invites them to drinks at the hotel club. Before going to bed, Kate tells Meg that she will fight her for Ryan's affections.

When it is learned the hurricane will move away from Florida, Ryan manages to get a ride from Craig, a jewelry salesman who had taken a liking to Meg but had been continually rebuffed by her, and the women ask to tag along. Kate shows embarrassing childhood photos of Meg to the men for their amusement and in response, Meg locks Kate in a gas station bathroom, forcing Kate to escape through a high window covered in feces. Back in the car, Kate fakes an injury to get a massage from Ryan, prompting Meg to place sleeping pills into a bottle of wine to give to Kate. When Kate declines to drink, Craig, who is driving, takes it instead, much to Meg's horror. After a few hours, Craig eventually passes out and crashes the car, forcing the four to spend the night at a motel.

When Kate sees the pills in the bottle, she asks for a hotel room for herself. Meg says that she can have Ryan, but Kate proclaims she never wanted Ryan and merely did not want Meg to have him. Meg decides to go to a local bar where Craig joins her. When Craig fails to impress Meg, he suggests to her that she should be open to the qualities of other men. Back at the hotel, Ryan makes a pass at Kate, who gives in and has rigorous sex with him. In the morning at breakfast, Meg tells Kate they should not jeopardize their friendship over a man, but when Meg lets slip that Ryan has a misshaped penis, something Kate had seen from having sex with him, Kate realizes Meg had sex with Ryan as well and the two get into a physical fight, making a mess of the motel lobby in the process. Their fight ends when the motel manager calls the police on them.

Craig reveals to the police that Ryan had taken his car to reach the wedding on time. When he looks up Ryan's Google Plus profile, he sees that Ryan is the one getting married, revealing this to the women. Appalled, they beg to be released to stop the wedding, and are let go after paying for the damage to the lobby. The two arrive at the hotel in Fort Lauderdale where the wedding is taking place, but it is too late to stop it. The women confront Ryan, who calls them out on throwing themselves at him. The women still claim it was wrong for him to sleep with both of them the night before his wedding and not tell them he was the one being married. Ryan admits he had been with his now-wife Genevieve since freshman year of college and has not been able to get with anyone else. When the women meet Genevieve, they see that she is controlling and demanding of Ryan, and decide not to tell her about his actions, feeling Ryan will suffer enough in his marriage. With a few hours before their flight back to Seattle, Meg tracks down Craig at his jewelry shop to apologize for brushing him off, kissing him before she leaves. At the airport, Meg tells Kate that they should not live together anymore, to which Kate tearfully agrees, as they have been too dependent on each other.

Kate returns to her job with renewed vigor, and she requests of Principal Moss that her students be allowed to indulge their creativity more instead of just following the standard curriculum. Moss reveals to Kate that he had no intention of firing her; he actually wants to offer her the assistant volleyball coach position. Meg starts taking classes and is in a long-distance relationship with Craig. Meanwhile, Meg has moved into an apartment only a few doors down from Kate so the two can still be close.

As the show is designed, the series revolves around a single bachelor (deemed eligible) who starts with a pool of romantic interests (typically 25) from whom the bachelor is expected to select a wife. During the course of the season, the bachelor eliminates candidates, with the bachelor either electing to start a relationship with or proposing to his final choice. The participants travel to romantic and exotic locations for their adventures, and the conflicts in the series, both internal and external, stem from the elimination-style structure of the show.

To give a better future to his son, traveller Chad Cutler tries to get out of the criminal business which his family has run for generations. However, his own father Colby considers doing so a betrayal, making the task of leaving a well-rooted criminal system an uneasy one.

The Cutler family lives in Gloucestershire, England. They stage a police chase in honour of their brother Bryan, who is in prison. Chad is approached by his father Colby in relation to a Sunday night robbery which he opposes due to the unnecessary risk involved. Chad's wife Kelly wants him to stand up to his aggressive father.

When the Colby family approach the police for help, PC Lovage informs Colby's wife that if she informs on her husband and tells them where her husband really was the night of the robbery, they may be able to help.

Chad calls Colby to bring his son to the old oak tree. Chad and Tyson climb the tree, where Chad gives his son the puppy, and together they hold off the police. After giving Tyson some fatherly advice, Chad surrenders with words of love to his wife.

A story where despite obstacles and betrayals, love succeeds, if not in the present, at least in the future and its generations. This is a heartbreaking story where power, envy, selfishness and the desire for possession tragically mark the deep love between Paulina (Camila Sodi) and Adrián (Osvaldo Benavides), who nevertheless manage to perpetuate their love and pass it on to their daughter Valentina (Camila Sodi) and Paulina's adopted son, their beloved Mauricio (Ignacio Casano). This melodrama is divided in two stages; in each one of them are the obstacles where love, first of Paulina and Adrian and later of Valentina and Mauricio, triumphs.

First stage

It is the story of Paulina and Adrián, a couple who love each other despite their families' dark past. Paulina is the daughter of Gonzalo Murat, a wealthy hotel entrepreneur who does not accept the relationship of his daughter with Adrián, with the reason that he does not have the same status as them. On the other hand, Julieta, Adrián's sister, is obsessed with him and blames Gonzalo for the death of her father; a situation that makes her feel a hatred for the entire Murat family. Julieta is right, Gonzalo is not the perfect man his wife, Inés, and his daughters Nuria and Paulina believe, since he is a man without a heart and double standards, because for more than ten years he has been having a relationship with Mónica, his former secretary with whom he also has two sons: René and Alan.

Nuria, sister of Paulina, join forces with Julieta to separate Paulina from Adrián. The multiple disagreements and misunderstandings caused by their rivals and enemies, cause Paulina and Adrián to be separated, not knowing that Paulina is pregnant.

Being away from Adrián, Camilo, an ex-boyfriend of Paulina, offers to take care and give his surname to the child. At the same time, Paulina decides to take charge of Mauricio, a deaf-mute child who adores Paulina and lives in the cover of the Murat family.

However, Adrián will return to the life of Paulina with the intention to win her love back. After they reconcile, they both decide to get married. On the joyous occasion, Julieta shows up, in order to murder Paulina, but instead shoots Adrián and Paulina. Sadly they both die in each other's arms, promising eternal love for one another.

Second stage

It has been 17 years since the tragedy that changed the life of Mauricio and Valentina, who have grown apart all this time, but communicating continuously. Valentina, who strongly resembles her mother physically, lives in Los Angeles along with Fernanda, her close friend, and Mauricio lives in Cancún, along with his grandmother Raquel.

Mauricio has been in love with Valentina since a child, and he will do everything possible to protect and care for her despite his disability and the obstacles that may arise.

Love is present in this story, as it was in the past, but the evil Nuria, who remains resentful and full of frustration, will do whatever in her power to get the fortune of her father. As well as the crazy Julieta, who is determined to repeat history and put an end to the life of Valentina and Mauricio, as she did in the past with Paulina and Adrián.

Set in 1952, George Adams is a man at the end of his rope. He is a steam engine fitter working for the railroad at a way station in his hometown of Cushing, Oklahoma. However, he finds himself working at a time when the railroads are converting from steam engines to diesel-electrics. Just like the engines he works on, he knows his time of usefulness for the railroad is running out. To make ends meet, he has taken a second job as the town's night watchman. This has created George's greatest frustration. The schedule he is on has him sleeping each night in the attic, waking at mid-day to his wife, Norma, making lunch for his two boys. Between the two jobs he works and his wife's schedule with the family, there is almost no time for George to be alone with Norma. This strikes him as a particularly cruel blow, and in frustration he questions her interest. She assures him she would welcome a visit, but finds the schedule is working against them.

As Peggy Carter is resisting interrogation at the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR), Edwin Jarvis appears with a fake signed confession from Howard Stark, promising surrender if Carter is released. Carter sees Ivchenko communicating in Morse code with Dottie Underwood, and reveals the truth about her own investigation to her colleagues to gain their trust. Ivchenko hypnotizes SSR Chief Roger Dooley and has him steal one of Stark's weapons from the SSR's labs: a gas cylinder that Underwood and Ivchenko activate in a crowded cinema before leaving and locking the door behind them. The agents find Dooley wearing a Stark experimental vest given to him by Ivchenko, which Jarvis explains will explode with no way to deactivate it. Dooley jumps out a window moments before the device detonates, killing him but saving the others. The gas in the cinema makes the audience become maniacal and attack each other violently, and when an usher arrives soon after, the entire audience is dead.

The SSR discovers the gas cylinder in the cinema and realize that Ivchenko possibly plans to turn all of New York on itself. Howard Stark returns and explains that he had developed the gas, named Midnight Oil, to give American soldiers extra stamina during war, but it caused psychosis and led to them killing each other. During World War II, the American military stole Midnight Oil and used it on the Soviets at Finow. Stark believes that Ivchenko – real name Johann Fennhoff – blames Stark for the ensuing massacre, and allows the SSR to use himself as bait to draw Leviathan out. This plan goes awry when Underwood distracts the agents while Fennhoff kidnaps Stark, and uses hypnosis to convince him to drop the gas on Times Square. At Stark's secret plane hangar, Sousa apprehends Fennhoff while Carter defeats Underwood (who escapes) and convinces Stark not to drop the gas on the city. Carter later discards Rogers' blood in the East River, finally moving on with her life, while Fennhoff is imprisoned with the scheming Arnim Zola.

On the next day, Zak awakes in his bed in his apartment and deems the events as an intense dream. When he notices a bump on his head, he realises that it actually happened. Since he cannot remember why he was on board, he goes on to discover what led him there.

Amy Mitchell is married, 32, living in the Chicago suburbs with her kids, Jane and Dylan, overworked and overcommitted. She is a sales rep for a coffee company, prepares healthful lunches for her children, does their homework, goes to all of their extracurricular activities, and is active in the PTA, run by the domineering Gwendolyn James and her cronies, Stacy and Vicky.

When Amy catches her husband Mike cheating on her with a camgirl, she kicks him out and attempts to keep everything together. However, after a particularly stressful day, Amy publicly quits the PTA due to Gwendolyn's overzealous bake sale. At a nearby bar, she meets Carla a laid-back, sexually active single mom, and Kiki a stay-at-home mom of four who admires Amy's dissent. Amy and Carla are irritated to see that Kiki's husband is domineering, expecting her to take care of all the kids and the house without help, while Amy and Kiki are taken aback by Carla's very hands-off approach to parenting.

The trio embark on an all-night bender, inspiring Amy to loosen up with her kids: she takes them for rides in Mike's sportscar, gets them lunch from Arby's, forces Dylan to fend for himself to prevent him from being lazy and entitled, and takes the overachieving and constantly stressed Jane for a spa day. Amy herself wants to start dating but is inexperienced as she had a shotgun marriage at 20. She ultimately strikes up a conversation with Jessie a handsome widower at the school who's had a crush on her, leading to them kissing. The next morning she receives a text from him showing interest.

When Amy brings store-bought donut holes to the bake sale, she draws the ire of Gwendolyn, who uses her PTA authority to get Jane benched from the soccer team. Angered, Amy decides to run for PTA president against her. A meet-and-greet at Amy's draws only one visitor, who tells them Gwendolyn has launched a rival party at her own house, catered by Martha Stewart. In spite of this, the other moms, and Martha, swiftly abandon Gwendolyn's party when it becomes clear that she intends to lecture them all evening, leading to a successful party at Amy's house. Afterwards it is revealed that Carla had “booty texted” Jessie from Amy’s phone. After explaining she hadn't sent it, he asks Amy if she wants him to leave, which she doesn't, prompting them to sleep together.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn responds to Amy’s antics by putting joints in Jane's locker, framing her and getting her kicked out of all extracurricular activities. Not only do Jane and Dylan both go to stay with Mike (who has agreed to an amicable divorce), but Amy loses her job because she's taken much time off. Unable to cope with her sadness, she becomes reclusive and depressed.

A despondent Amy stays home during the PTA election but is fired up by Carla and Kiki (who finally stands up to her husband, ordering him to deal with everything alone until after the election). At the event, Amy gives an inspiring speech about how overworked moms need to take time off, do fewer and less stressful events, and most importantly, allow themselves to make mistakes. She wins by a landslide and winds up comforting a devastated Gwendolyn, who reveals she's going through a divorce as well and bossing around the PTA was her outlet for venting her anger.

Weeks later, Amy's approach has led to positive changes: Jane has been reinstated to the soccer team and is stressing out less, Dylan is applying himself, Kiki makes her husband help out with the kids, Carla is more responsible and hands-on, Gwendolyn is kinder with everyone, and all of the other moms, including Stacy and Vicky, are feeling more energized. Amy herself has gotten her job back with much better compensation after her boss sees how much he had taken her for granted, and she continues to see Jessie. Gwendolyn invites Amy, Carla, and Kiki for a day of fun on her husband's private jet.

When Ogai's colleague hears that the black cat has returned to Shunso's painting following the incident, he asks Mei to find a pocket watch that was stolen by a crow spirit. Kyōka refuses to help her, preoccupied with containing Shirayuki, a dragon spirit materialized in real life from his writings. Left to search alone, Mei is approached by Charlie, who reports that she will be able to return to her own time period during the next full moon. Charlie gives her the pocket watch, and when she attempts to return it to Ogai's colleague, his guard mistakes her for a thief and she is arrested. After Kyōka takes her home from jail, Mei, troubled by Charlie's revelation, confesses to him that she is from the future. Kyōka immediately accepts it, and the two become closer.

Kate "Katie" Kassell is the daughter of Lee Kassell, the founder and CEO of Kassell Fashion. She is a fashion major and when she graduates, her estranged father asks her to come work for him. She reluctantly accepts when no one else will hire her. However, Kate's stepmother, Elise, and her two stepsisters, Simone and Tannis, conspire to keep her from rising in the company and ruining their plans. Instead of letting her design, they put her to work cleaning and sorting a large storage room filled with years of untouched buttons.

Working next door to the button room is shoe designer, Daniel. They talk and instantly take a liking to each other. He encourages Kate to keep working hard, and she will eventually make it. Inspired, she draws a design to improve on Kassell's boring attire, but Simone and Tannis steal the design and take credit for it, impressing Lee.

Elise and her daughters eventually succeed in running Kate out of the company by framing her for leaking designs to Kassell's sniveling rival, Frost. With the help of her godparents, Bella and Richard, she disguises herself as a man named Nate and re-enters the company, this time as a designer. "Nate" quickly impresses Lee with more vintage designs, similar to those of Kate's late mother, which Kassell had built its foundation on. He quickly becomes Lee's star apprentice and buddies with Daniel and design assistant, Maurice.

Faced with the dilemma of Nate being invited to the fashion ball by Lee to present the fall line-up and Kate being invited by Daniel, she decides to go as both. While changing disguises in a storage room, she overhears Elise and Frost conspiring to steal the designs and framing it on Nate. Nate runs up to tell Lee, but Elise has already convinced Lee that it was his doing, and he is fired. Upset, she runs out of the ball and leaves, but not before Daniel realizes Nate is really Kate.

Feeling his company is ruined, Lee prepares to sell Kassell to Frost, but Daniel and Maurice come to Kate with a plan. Simone and Tannis follow them and discover her secret, but she tricks them into modeling the fall line-up at the press conference. Nate shows up at the conference just before Lee announces the deal, and with the help of Daniel and Maurice shows him that it was really Elise and her daughters that were stealing designs and conspiring with Frost to overthrow the company. They reveal the file of the fall line-up that they had stolen was a fake, as proven when Simone and Tannis walk in modeling ridiculous clothing. Kate reveals herself to her father, who makes up with her and fires Elise and her daughters.

Six months later, Kate is dating Daniel and is now a head designer at Kassell, which has become a thriving business again. Elise, Simone and Tannis are forced to work for Frost, who puts them to work sorting years worth of untouched buttons.

Lena, a biology professor and army veteran, lost her husband Kane after he deployed on a special forces mission. She believes Kane accepted a suicide mission because she cheated on him.

Kane suddenly reappears at home, then starts convulsing. Lena calls an ambulance but government forces divert it to a secret facility. A psychologist named Dr. Ventress tells her a mysterious zone called the "Shimmer" has been expanding from a fallen meteorite for three years. Kane's team explored the Shimmer, but only he returned, and he is now comatose. She wants Lena to join a new expedition to the lighthouse where the meteorite landed. Lena joins to find answers for Kane's coma. Ventress also recruits the physicist Josie Radek, the geomorphologist Cassie "Cass" Sheppard, and the paramedic Anya Thorensen.

After entering the Shimmer, the group wakes up and realizes they already travelled several days but have no memory of the journey. All wildlife in the Shimmer has mutated. An alligator with shark teeth attacks Josie but the group saves her.

The group reaches a military base. They find a video of Kane cutting open a soldier to reveal moving intestines, and later find the soldier’s corpse overgrown by alien fungi. At night, a mutant bear kills Cass.

The survivors discover plants shaped like humans, leading Josie to theorize the Shimmer distorts information like a prism refracts light, intermixing the wildlife's DNA. Anya realizes they are also mutating and ties up the others in a panic. Anya then hears Cass's voice and runs to it, only to be devoured by the mutant bear. Josie frees herself and shoots the bear. Ventress reveals she has cancer and leaves hurriedly for the lighthouse so she can study it before she dies or mutates. Josie realizes the Shimmer mixed pieces of the dying Cass into the bear, and willfully mutates into a plant to avoid a similar fate.

Lena arrives at the lighthouse and discovers a video camera next to a burnt corpse. The footage shows Kane telling the cameraperson to find Lena, then killing himself with a phosphorus grenade. The footage then shows that the cameraman shares Kane's face. Lena descends into the meteor crater and finds Ventress, who explains the Shimmer will eventually swallow everything. She disintegrates into a pulsing Mandelbulb that absorbs blood from Lena, creating a humanoid that mimics Lena’s motions. Unable to escape the creature, Lena tricks it into accepting a phosphorus grenade as it transforms into her doppelgänger. Lena flees, but her doppelgänger calmly allows the grenade to burn it along with the lighthouse. The Shimmer collapses.

Back at the facility, Lena tells an interrogator that the Shimmer did not seek to destroy, but to renew. She asks Kane, who is now awake, if he is really Kane; he replies, "I don't think so". He asks if she is really Lena, but she does not answer. They embrace and their irises shimmer.

In 1995 Sarajevo a team of U.S. Navy SEALs disguised as journalists capture and extract Serb general Milić who is responsible for numerous atrocities. However, their covert operation is compromised and the team is forced to escape the pursuing Serbs in a tank, causing extensive damage through the city. Back in the base, the team is reprimanded for their actions and put on a three-day leave. A member of the team, Stanton Baker, has a romance with a local waitress Lara and goes to her place. Soon after that, some thugs led by Lara's brother Milenko enter and demand something from her. Luckily, team leader Matt Barnes arrives to fight off the thugs and Lara then decides to reveal that the thugs were after the gold ingot she is keeping, worth about $150,000.

She explains that her grandfather was the only one who survived the massacre of civilians in Grahovo, stole a gold ingot and buried it before he was found by the Partisans who blew up the dam and flooded the town as the revenge for the German massacre. She reveals that there were at least 2,000 gold ingots, worth at least $300 million which would greatly benefit the local people in a war-torn country.

The team decides to retrieve the gold from the vault, now well below the water. By using their connection inside the base, they get the necessary equipment and transport it to the lake which lies deep in the enemy territory. Meanwhile, the thugs, led by Lara's brother, search her flat, find the gold, and show it to the local commander of the Serbian forces who decides to stop the SEAL team. The SEAL team establishes the air pocket inside a church and manages to break into the vault only to discover that it contains only ten gold ingots instead of 2,000 as stated by Lara. However, they find a covered opening in a wall where the rest of the gold is hidden. They then transport the gold to the surface by using an air-filled cargo parachute. The helicopter arrives just in time to fend off the enemy forces and the gold is then safely flown into the base. Half of the gold is then returned to France while the other half is sold and money distributed to the team, with Lara receiving majority of the sum. However, the team members decide to give their shares to Lara and then head to the bar.

Brothers Mike and Dave Stangle are liquor salesmen whose antics ruin their family's gatherings. With their younger sister Jeanie's wedding in Hawaii approaching, their parents tell them they must bring dates to the wedding to keep them out of trouble. Mike and Dave put out an ad for dates on Craigslist. The ad goes viral and the brothers go on ''The Wendy Williams Show'' to advertise themselves.

Meanwhile, Tatiana and Alice are slacker party girls who have just been fired from their waitressing jobs. After seeing the brothers' appearance on television, Tatiana decides that this free trip is just the vacation they need, and they clean themselves up. While the brothers are at a bar, Tatiana—to get their attention—throws herself in front of a moving car outside the bar. After the girls let the brothers think Mike saved Tatiana's life, they all go on a date. Tatiana, posing as a school teacher, flirts with Mike but has no intention of having sex with him. Alice, who is pretending to be a hedge fund manager, thinks sleeping with Dave is just what she needs to get over her ex-fiancé, who left her at the altar. Thinking their family will like the girls, the brothers invite them to Hawaii.

In Hawaii, Tatiana and Alice charm the Stangle family. Dave finds himself falling for Alice, while Mike and his bisexual female cousin, Terry, begin competing for Tatiana's attention. The girls convince Jeanie and her fiancé, Eric, to take an ATV tour through the mountains. Alice and Tatiana show off and perform tricks on their ATVs; Mike attempts the same trick but ends up crashing into Jeanie, which severely bruises her face. Feeling bad for Jeanie, Alice bribes a masseur to give Jeanie a massage with a tantric style "happy ending" to help her relax.

Tatiana goes into a sauna and runs into Terry, who offers her backstage passes to Rihanna if Tatiana fingers her. Meanwhile, Mike walks in on Jeanie having an orgasm during the massage. Upon finding Tatiana and Terry together, Mike and Terry fight, and Tatiana accidentally admits the girls are only interested in the free vacation. Dave and Alice connect on a walk, where she tells him she was left at the altar. When Mike tells Dave the truth about the girls, they disagree over how to handle the situation.

At the rehearsal dinner, Jeanie opens up to Alice over her fears about getting married and Eric being boring. To help calm her nerves, Alice gives her ecstasy. Mike drags Dave backstage and demands he practice their speech instead of spending more time with Alice. They get into an argument, and Mike reveals what happened in the massage parlor—unaware that they are being broadcast over the speaker system. The argument gets physical in front of the entire wedding party, ruining the rehearsal dinner.

High on ecstasy, Jeanie and Alice get naked and release a stable of horses, while Tatiana apologizes to Mike; they relate over how similar they are. After yelling at Alice, Dave gets them both back to the resort, where Eric, mad about the massage, calls off the wedding. The next day, the brothers make up and agree to work together to get the wedding back on track. At the same time, Tatiana and Alice feel guilty and also agree to fix the wedding. All four of them go to Jeanie and Eric's room to apologize, which ends in an argument over who is more at fault. Eric silences and berates all of them, and gives Jeanie an early honeymoon present: tickets for a hot air balloon ride, which Jeanie wanted for their honeymoon even though Eric is afraid of heights. With the wedding back on, the four scramble to get a venue and food for the reception.

Jeanie and Eric end up getting married outside the stables. After the wedding, Tatiana and Mike decide to get into business together. Alice deletes her wedding video before making out with Dave. The brothers perform a heartfelt duet to celebrate Jeanie's marriage; Alice and Tatiana then join them for a raunchy dance number.

After being dumped by his girlfriend Eva, who was tired of his unrelentingly negative and sexist attitude, Gene decides to take revenge by killing her with a mamba, a venomous snake, into which he also injected hormones to increase its aggressiveness.

An honest soldier (Lito Lapid) is assigned to a unit comprising several men who, unknown to him, are under the charge of his rival (Emilio Garcia). Despite his protests, the group plans a heist. They ambush a robbery gang that had just themselves done a bank robbery, and as assurance, they killed the pursuing police officers. They mauled the soldier and threw him out of the vehicle so that he will be framed, and he was indeed captured and imprisoned.

The group's leader had been lusting after the soldier's wife, and so raids her house, not only raping and killing the wife, but also brutally raping and killing the soldier's younger sister. Luckily his daughter escaped the fracas and was hidden by her grandfather.

When the wrongly imprisoned soldier received the bad news, he escaped prison. Just in time, because while his father was killed by the group, the soldier saved his daughter, but was grievously wounded. They found shelter in the hut of a woman and her mother's, where he planned his revenge.

He eliminated his former group mates, firstly, the group who mauled him and then his own partner (Efren Reyes, Jr.) who betrayed him. The leader caught wind of his track and fights him on the river, leading to his death.

Caterina recognizes the murderer, a Liverpool taxi driver, but she prefers to remain silent as to track down the man in his hometown and take her revenge.

Young Remington (Andre Salazar) has a habit of spotting gay men and loudly calling them "Bakla!" (a Filipino term for "gay"). Everything changes during a trip to the cemetery, however, where he briefly encounters a grieving drag queen named Pops (Roderick Paulate) and taunts him for his sexuality. Infuriated, Pops swears that Remington would grow up to become gay on his 21st birthday, scaring the young boy.

Many years later, an epidemic of murders of gay men erupts in the little town of Lucban, which Remington's mother Fe (Janice de Belen), a policewoman, and her co-policewoman Mimi (Angelica Kanapi) are unable to solve. Twenty-year old Remington (Martin Escudero) takes a peek at one such crime scene along with curious passersby in the nearest field when he chances upon a young woman named Hannah Montano (Lauren Young), who recently returned to her hometown, and tries getting to know her, only for her to shun his advances after learning who he is through his best friend Jigs (Kerbie Zamora).

During a street basketball game with their friends, Remington notices a mysterious flying aura in the shape of a pink scarf (a manifestation of the curse) taunting his surroundings, which briefly distracted him until a basketball hits him. In an attempt to court Hannah further, Remington volunteers himself and Jigs to help paint her newly furnished house, only for her to spurn him further after revealing that he was the same little boy who once mocked her late father for being gay, earning him the ire of her grieving mother, Mrs. Montano (Eugene Domingo).

That very same night, Remington dreamt of himself and Jigs taking a bath outside their home, only to be attacked by a buffed man wielding a razor, with a butterfly tattoo on his chest. He wakes up with cuts on his legs, having lost all his body hair. His father, Ed (John Regala) notices his new look during a drinking session with his homophobic friends Suarez (Daniel Fernando) and Serge (Leandro Baldemor) and proudly declares his son as a "real man" who is off to court women.

Meanwhile, as the murders in the barrio continue to persist, Remington tells his mother about his dream and tries helping her by identifying available suspects. Concerned, his mother asks if he might be closet gay, to which Remington adamantly denies. His mother berates him for not wanting to go to Manila for college and asks what he truly wants in his life, to which he doesn't reply.

Later that night, as another gay man gets murdered inside a beauty parlor, Remington dreamt of mistakenly boarding a tricycle thought to be Jigs', only to discover that the driver was the same strange man who attacked him in his first dream. He is instead brought to a secluded spot in the middle of the forest, where he is paddled by the same man and has his tongue pulled out. Eventually, Remington "wakes up" from this dream, only to discover that he can now speak "gay" and realizes that the curse from his childhood is starting to come true. Despite trying his best to hide his sexuality, however, his newfound behavior has changed Hannah and her mother's perception of him, and Hannah eventually falls for the new Remington.

As the curse continues to strengthen, Remington learns that his mannerisms are starting to become more feminine and his wardrobe preferences start to change. At the same time, he starts falling for his best friend Jigs, who eventually tries to seduce him but refuses to continue after learning that most of the gay men he had affairs with were murdered. Remington realizes how he is starting to lose himself and starts consulting his gay helper Georgia (Nar Cabico) on what to do.

After briefly consulting an albularyo (Marian Rivera), Remington, Hannah and Jigs track down Pops, the mysterious drag queen who cursed him during his youth and discover his mansion. The aged Pops initially denied putting a curse on Remington and attempted to have his pager boy shoo the trio away until Remington sees a portrait of the gay man in his house and starts calling Pops "Bakla!" to make him remember. Furious, Pops calls him out and confirms he did put the curse on him, but unfortunately has no idea how to undo the curse. He, however, helps conduct a seance with the trio in order to communicate with the mysterious men who haunt Remington's dreams. The mysterious men manifest before them and reveal a clear solution: the only way for him to remove the curse is to find a purely heterosexual man who will choose to become gay in his place.

Just as the trio, Pops and his pager boy set off to town and find possible replacements, they find themselves being blocked by the culprit of the murders: Remington's godfather, Suarez, whose "gaydar" gun led him to them and kills Pops. As the trio runs away from the scene, the distraught pager boy brings back his beloved master back from the dead, along with the souls of other drag queens who have been murdered to exact justice, in the form of zombies, which flock to town and promptly start attacking citizens.

With the time ticking, Remington, Hannah and Jigs make it to the former's birthday party, where they ask the rest of their friends if they are willing to take the curse in his place. None of them agree, in which Remington reluctantly agrees on staying that way, until Hannah snaps him out of it and retorts that real gay men continue to fight oppression due to the stigma, and that she knows he is not like this, so he doesn't have to give up being who he originally was.

As the rest of the town is being attacked by gay zombies (aptly called “zombadings”, or “gay zombies”), Remington eventually meets his father, who protects him by stepping between him and Suarez. Just as Suarez is about to fire his gun, the gaydar fails, with Remington's father proudly declaring that his son is not gay, contrary to what Suarez thinks. During the ruckus, however, Serge gets attacked by zombies and dies from his injuries, prompting Suarez to cradle his cohort's body as he mourns his death. Having sensed Suarez's brief moment of affection, the gesture reactivates the gaydar gun and fired at Suarez, ending his life.

Minutes before the curse takes over, Remington desperately explains to his skeptical father about the curse and his current predicament. The latter asks what his son needs to undo it and reluctantly but willingly agrees to become gay in his son's place, turning his son back to normal right before midnight.

Life returns to normal in Lucban. Remington is set on leaving the town to continue his studies in Manila. Hannah, however, has finally set up the dorm she dreamt of putting up as her business. Serge and Suarez are buried under the same gravesite, while Pops and the rest of the "zombadings" set up a hat shop in an undisclosed park. Remington's father, however, lives a normal but pleasant life, now as an openly gay father, who also settles on eyeing passing men with his wife, one of the men has the husband and wife agreed in sync.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Lucban, another tricycle stops in the middle of the street and unloads a gay man. A passing boy loudly tells his mother that he sees a gay man, which initially offends the latter, only for the kid to add that the gay man is beautiful as they part and the film zooms out of Lucban.

In the closing credits, a Bollywood-style production number in the street ensues with Remington's now-gay father (John Regala) as star attraction.

The person she wants killed is Dr. Haggis, a psychiatrist who believes Diana to be dangerously disturbed and wants her institutionalized. Jerry doesn't take Diana seriously until she runs down Mike with a golf cart, then beats him to death with one of Jerry's clubs.

Threatening to give the murder weapon to the police, Diana insists that Jerry now get rid of the doctor. He doesn't know what to do, consulting estranged wife Lee while looking for a way out. The longer he delays doing Diana's murder, the angrier she gets, eventually attacking Lee.

Stephen is a troubled teen from Maine who is being sent to boarding school. While his father, Richard Portman, is driving him there, they get into a bad argument, and the car swerves into oncoming traffic, killing Richard and putting Stephen into a vegetative state.

Six months later, Richard's second wife and Stephen's stepmother, Mary, is taking care of his every need. Mary is a psychologist who works from home with children and teenagers. She is upset to learn that one of her patients, a mute child named Tom, is to be transferred to a school in Boston. Later, Mary discusses Stephen with her therapist, Dr. Wilson. While she feels guilty, she has decided to put Stephen in a home to be cared for because he is no longer there and is just a body.

She finds Tom asleep in her car. She brings him inside and makes a call, but Tom vanishes. The police conduct a fruitless search. Over the following nights, Mary wakes up to sounds in the house and even wakes up to see Tom in the darkness one night. She discusses these events with Dr. Wilson, who attributes it to parasomnia. Dr. Wilson wants to prescribe her some medication and orders some blood tests. Doug Hart, the father of one of her patients, asks her out, but Mary declines, implying that it would be unprofessional.

Mary reconsiders and has dinner with Doug. Later, Stephen is missing from his bed. While looking for him, Mary finds that a small door to a crawlspace is slightly ajar. As she examines it, she is grabbed from inside by two small hands. The next morning, she wakes up on the floor. Stephen is back in his bed but has scratches on his face.

Mary declines two invitations to leave her isolated house before an impending ice storm, one from her assistant Lucy, and another from Doug. Dr. Wilson contacts her via Skype with her blood test results. He admonishes her because her stepson's medication is showing up in her blood. Mary denies taking any medication and walks away without ending the call. Dr. Wilson sees Stephen's empty wheelchair, then sees Stephen walk across the living room. The lights go out in the house and the computer connection drops.

Mary is in the basement when the lights go out. Mary sees Tom, and just then, Stephen appears and knocks her out. Mary regains consciousness—bound, gagged, and naked in the bathtub, with Stephen bathing her. He reveals to Mary how he woke up in the hospital after the accident with her there. He didn't move or speak so that he could relish her attention. He believes that for six months they were happy together, but then Tom arrived.

It is revealed that Tom has been living in the crawlspace, rather than having been transferred to Boston. When Tom saw Stephen moving around, Stephen blocked him in the crawlspace, hoping he would starve to death. Stephen has been keeping Mary disoriented by slipping her his medicine, which not only allows him to walk around at night, but also confuses Mary when she sees Tom. Stephen forces Mary to swallow another pill, then goes to deal with Tom. Alone in the tub, Mary uses a bottle of shampoo to both slip her bonds and induce vomiting to expel the pill. Dr. Wilson rushes to Mary's house, but wrecks his car on the way. His attempt to call the police is unsuccessful due to the ice storm. Mary finds Stephen and Tom in the basement where Stephen is planning to murder Tom, and learns that Stephen killed his father on purpose. Mary and Tom escape the basement and hide in a closet.

Dr. Wilson arrives to warn Mary, only to be attacked and stabbed by Stephen. Mary tries to leave and discovers Doug's body blocking the door. Dr. Wilson, with his dying breath, advises Mary to play along with Stephen's delusion. Stephen has nailed all of the doors and windows shut to prevent them from escaping, Mary breaks a skylight and pulls Tom up to climb out. Mary plays along with Stephen's delusions until she is able to escape. Mary and Tom run to the lake, where Stephen attempts to drown Tom in the freezing water. Mary grabs the hammer Stephen dropped and hits him in the head, killing him. Days later, Mary and Tom are seen arriving at the Child and Adoption center.

During the festival, Diana appears wearing the lion headdress of Hercules, then runs off while the others chase after her. Diana travels to the shore, where she finds a man who falls to the ground.

In the present time, Hippolyta calls Althea forward to testify.

Diana reveals she took the ray to heal the man, Steve Trevor. She later challenged the champion Mala to a battle. Diana wins, and claims Mala's swan plane. Later, Hippolyta scolds Diana for her actions. She smells a familiar fragrance on Diana, then realizes it must be a man. After Diana leaves, she orders the Amazons to search out Paradise Island and find him.

In the present day, Diana aka Wonder Woman has become an icon. But a secret Council inside the Pentagon, with information taken from the Nazis on Paradise Island, plot to conquer the island and harness their technology. They bring in Dr. Leon Zeiko to do the job.

Just then, General Darnell asks for Diana's help. In the Middle East, terrorists attack a negotiator and plot to traffic captured women when Diana shows up and defeats them. She meets the negotiator, who is Zeiko in disguise. Having a drink, Diana comments on his work on ''Weaponized Communication'', when Zeiko turns the conversation into Diana's work, criticizing her gospel of submitting to loving authority in relationships, how her lasso is more mind control, and finally Diana herself as someone perfect who cannot fathom to inspire those who aren't like her by any means. Diana can do nothing but defend her work as ending endless war and bridging their worlds together. When she leaves, Zeiko concludes Diana is like any manipulative woman. General Darnell meets with his superior about lying to Diana about the "mission", as the Pentagon plans to destroy Wonder Woman and attack her island they hate and fear.

Diana meets with Zeiko, and upon kissing her, Zeiko asks her to use the lasso on him. Using it, Zeiko reveals the Government believe Diana to be a scout from a technologically advance force planning an invasion, and that he was hired to help them, and claims Darnell and Steve are part of it. Diana doesn't believe him at first, but then asks what she could do, and Zeiko asks for himself to use the lasso on her, to see if her mission is true. She grants him, just as Zeiko uses his post-hypnotic submission on Diana to lose her powers and will. Steve comes over and Zeiko controls Diana to attack him, and she obeys. Along with revealing that the terrorist attack was a fake, Zeiko tells Diana that the Pentagon needs her to be provocative, and gets her ready for her big day. Back at Paradise Island, Paula murders Hippolyta, grabs her girdle, and escapes the island.

Zeiko reveals himself and tells Diana that her mother is dead just as Paula arrives and the two women fight. Diana and Paula's fight reaches the White House, where Diana demands Paula reveal why she killed her mother, and Paula reveals she was controlled to do so, but she also did it because she loved Diana and wanted to rule with her over "man's world". The Amazons arrive and take Diana, Paula, and Zeiko back to Paradise Island.

With the A.R.E.S. battle suits prepared for battle, Diana believes Ares the God of War is behind the conflicts of "man's world", and assumes her place as the new Queen of the Amazons.

With the gang's help and support, Alex is finally ready to take on Ivan. At the final Nobody challenge at the Blue Factory, Emma and Ray perform 'So Far Yet So Close'. Alex and Ivan perform 'I Am Nobody', both dressed as Nobody and matching each other in dancing skills. Alex's voice modulator was sabotaged, so he sings without his mask. On the other hand, Ivan can't sing without his mask, which Linda had told Ivan was his biggest mistake in challenging Alex. This proves that Ivan is the impostor. Having reclaimed Nobody, Alex officially retires the persona, planning to only perform as Alex Leoni from then on. Nicole returns, entering the theatre as Alex is performing 'The Magic of Love'.

Part One

In the near future, an unknown agent causes the Moon to shatter. As the pieces begin to collide with one another, astronomer and science popularizer "Doc" Dubois Harris calculates that Moon fragments will begin entering Earth's atmosphere, forming a white sky and blanketing the Earth within two years with what he calls a "Hard Rain" of bolides, causing the atmosphere to heat to incandescence and the oceans to boil away, rendering Earth uninhabitable for thousands of years.

The world's leaders evacuate as many people and resources as possible to a swarm of "arklet" habitats called a "Cloud Ark" in orbit with the International Space Station (ISS), bolted onto an iron Arjuna asteroid called Amalthea, which provides some protection against Moon debris.

By the time the Hard Rain begins 701 days after the destruction of the Moon, approximately 1,500 people have been launched into orbit.

Part Two

Human civilization, as well as nearly all life on Earth, is obliterated. US President Julia Bliss Flaherty manages to get herself up to the Cloud Ark despite provisions that members of government would not be launched into space. Flaherty persuades the majority of the Arklets to abandon the ISS and to move to higher orbit in a decentralized swarm, in the process causing ISS to be struck by a bolide and suffer catastrophic damage that kills 300.

Meanwhile, leader Markus Leuker and robotics engineer Dinah MacQuarie take a small crew to an ice comet fragment that billionaire Sean Probst has gotten into Earth's orbit for the purpose of providing propellant for the space station. Probst's crew has died of radiation sickness caused by nuclear fallout from his ship's nuclear reactor. They bring the ice to the Cloud Ark, though MacQuarie is the only survivor of this mission.

Using the ice comet, the remaining third of the Cloud Ark and the ISS (now dubbed ''Endurance'') take three years to reach the Cleft, a Grand Canyon–sized crevasse on the now-exposed iron core of the Moon. By this time, Flaherty's Swarm has been decimated, resorting to cannibalism to survive, while fallout from Probst's ship has killed most of ''Endurance'' s crew. The 11 survivors, led by a woman named Aïda, negotiate reuniting the Swarm with ''Endurance''. However, fearing ostracism by the crew, Aïda starts a battle for control of the ship that ultimately fails, but reduces the population even further.

When ''Endurance'' reaches the safety of the Cleft, there are only eight female survivors, only seven of whom (Dinah, Ivy, Aïda, Tekla, Camila, Moira, and Julia) are able to bear children. Moira can still use her genetics laboratory to rebuild the human race by automictic parthenogenesis. They agree that each of the seven "Eves" gets to choose how her offspring will be genetically modified or enhanced.

Part Three

Five thousand years later, there are three billion people living in a giant ring of different "habitats" circling the Earth. The population is divided into seven races, each of which descends from and is named after one of the seven Eves and carries distinct racial characteristics that harken back to the personalities and characteristics of the original Eves. Most of the iron core of the Moon has been used to build the habitats, while Cleft itself has been turned into the Cradle, an exclusive piece of real estate attached to a tether that occasionally "docks" with Earth along the equator. This ring is divided into two states, Red and Blue, which are engaged in a cold war. Efforts to terraform Earth for the past several hundred years have proven fruitful; although the process is incomplete, some have resettled the planet in violation of treaty agreements.

"Doc" Hu Noah forms a "Seven" with one member from each race to investigate mysterious people who have been sighted on Earth. They discover that some humans ("Diggers") have survived the Hard Rain on the planet by living in deep mines, and others survived in ocean trenches using submarines ("Pingers"); the latter group descends from a separate, secret underwater ark that had been created concurrently with the Cloud Ark.

The episode begins with Homer and a 6-year-old Bart in early 2012, lying down on the grass, as Bart asks things about nature to his father, only for Homer to ask him why he left his toy car on the stairs, resulting in a terrible fall (the reason he is lying on the grass in the first place). The family decides to take Bart to Grampa's house to spend time away from Homer. As Bart asks Grampa to play with toy cars, he remembers about an old car he had bought brand new in 1954 and had forgotten all about. Bart asks if he can sit in it, but Grampa reveals that Bart can actually drive it.

The episode fast-forwards almost 2 years into the future in late 2013, with Bart still driving Grampa's car, late for his reading class. Professor Frink tries to teach him without much success, and discovers that Lisa, who is 2 years younger, can read almost perfectly. Later, Lisa paints a boat on the sea, which Marge decides to display over the couch (it is seen in the background of the couch gags). Bart reveals that he made a painting on the entire kitchen. While Homer is painting the walls and furniture its original color, Bart tries to impress Lisa by driving Homer's car, only to crash it through the kitchen wall, almost hitting his father. Homer and Marge decide to go to a psychologist to see why their son is such a troublemaker. She says that it is because of Homer's lack of attention for him and that they should go camping together. But instead of taking the boy camping, Homer takes him to an inn to watch ice hockey, making Bart sad. Back at home, he discovers that Lisa is the student of the month at Springfield Elementary, even though she has only been there for a month, while Bart has been there for two years and has not achieved anything. Homer tries to reconcile with him by saying he loves both of them the same amount: 40%. Bart makes a bumper sticker for Homer's car, but he ignores it because there is no more room for new bumper stickers.

The episode fast-forwards to Bart's 12th birthday in 2017, where Lisa gets the news that she is student of the month at Springfield Elementary for 48 consecutive months. Bart gets angry because his sister can overshadow him - even at his own birthday party, so he decides to go skateboarding with Milhouse. They decide to break street lamps, but Milhouse gets arrested and is taken to juvenile detention while Bart hides at the retirement home, where Grampa gives him a BMX.

Three years later in 2020, Bart, now 15, is good at doing stunts on his bicycle. Marge and Lisa go to a camp together, leaving Homer and Bart alone. Marge mentions that this could be Homer's last chance to have a close relationship with Bart, only for them to talk a few seconds, with Homer leaving him home alone once again. Bart throws a party at their home only to find Homer high on marijuana, where he reveals that he was exactly like Bart, but when he was born, this meant he was not a child anymore. They hug each other, but their moment is ruined when Homer mentions that he will not go anywhere or do anything.

Bart goes to Grampa's grave, where he gets the idea of going to a BMX competition, where he would never be overshadowed by Lisa. At one of his stunts, however, he gets distracted by Lisa's shadow, hits the ground too hard and blacks out, only to be revived by Lisa, who is then proclaimed as a hero, making him angry. In 2024, Bart makes caricatures at the port, where he is invited to Milhouse's graduation party. He is reluctant to go because his sister is graduating the same year as them, but he decides to go anyway. At the party, Milhouse's parents fight in front of him, so Lisa tries to make him happy by saying he is "cuter than ever", resulting in Milhouse replying that she is the best thing at that party. Bart gets irate that he is always the second-best Simpson in everything, but Lisa confronts him by saying she is tired of him blaming her for every setback in his life, and that he is a good artist, even though he never does anything with his talent. Bart decides to take his sister's rage as advice.

Two years later in 2026, Bart opens a bicycle modification shop, where he is surprised by Nelson, who wants to give all the lunch money he stole at school back, giving Bart $5,000. He is also surprised to see that Lisa and Nelson are dating (again). He shows them a giant painting on a wall, showing various moments through his life. Lisa realizes that she is not on any part of the painting, so Bart lowers one of the shop's doors to show her a giant painting made in her homage as one of his favorite sisters. Nelson discovers that El Barto is actually Bart.

Back on the lawn sometime later, Homer finally answers adult Bart's questions in detail (among other things, the grass they are lying on is green because it is artificial) and finishes by advising his son to pretend to be on the phone if anyone tries to ask him for something; which he immediately puts into practice as Bart tries to ask another question during the credits.

Upon the tenth anniversary of the death of fictional film star Saverio Crispo, his four daughters get together in the family manor in Apulia, Southern Italy. As Saverio used to be at the top of his game as an internationally known film star, he had liaisons with different women across the world, thus having several love children. His children include his Italian daughter, Susanna, who is secretly engaged to Walter, the former editor of Saverio's latest movies, his French daughter, Stéphanie, a mother of three sons from different men, his Spanish daughter, Segunda, the only one being married, and his youngest daughter, Solveig, from Sweden, who had little to no contact with her late father. None of the four women got to really know their late father, but each of them has fabricated an idealized and very personal memory of him.

Saverio's two widows, the Italian-born Rita and the Spanish-born Ramona, are also present at the family reunion. The meeting happens as Saverio's hometown celebrates the late actor's life and achievements, but apparently many secrets are yet to be unveiled about his life and his family.

''Bloodstained'' takes place in 19th century England during the Industrial Revolution. Fearing the loss of their influence over their wealthy patrons, the Alchemy Guild researched methods to summon demons and created Shardbinders, humans forcibly fused with demonically charged crystals that attuned them to their powers. These Shardbinders were sacrificed by the Guild to summon demons from Hell in what was meant to be a scare tactic but instead brought uncontrollable destruction that wiped out the Guild and much of England until the Church was able to banish them. Of the sacrificed Shardbinders, only one named Gebel survived. Another Shardbinder, the main protagonist Miriam, is spared due to falling into an unnatural slumber before she can be sacrificed.

Ten years later in the game's present-day, Miriam has awakened from her slumber and has learned that Gebel has summoned the demons to destroy England as he seeks revenge on the surviving alchemists for what they did to him. Accompanied by Johannes, a former member of the Alchemy Guild, they sail across the ocean to Arvantville, a destroyed village on the outskirts of Gebel's castle, the Hellhold. They meet with Johannes's friend Dominique, an exorcist who helped Johannes care for Miriam during her slumber and has been sent by the Church to help them stop Gebel.

As Miriam begins her journey into the Hellhold, she confronts Alfred, a surviving member of the Alchemy Guild and the former mentor to Johannes. Alfred seeks to recover an ancient book used in the demon summoning by Gebel, the Liber Logaeth, and threatens to kill Miriam if she does not leave. As his former student, Johannes deeply distrusts Alfred's motives and fears he may be making another mistake, partially feeling responsible for the actions that Alfred and the other alchemists took in harming Gebel, Miriam, and the other Shardbinders. She also crosses paths multiple times with Zangetsu, a demon hunter from Japan who initially distrusts Miriam due to her Shardbinder powers having ties to demons, but over time begins to respect her strength. Zangetsu explains that he is seeking a demon named Gremory, who is continuously eluding him for fear of his power. He gives Miriam his katana thinking that Gremory will not expect her to be wielding it and drop her guard.

Miriam confronts Gebel in the Hellhold's throne room, and she attempts to reason with him by reminding him that during the trauma of her transformation into a Shardbinder, he was the one who taught her to never give up on her humanity. Though he briefly seems moved by her words, Gebel remains defiant and the two Shardbinders fight. Should Gebel be killed, he will thank Miriam for stopping him, but the game will immediately end as Miriam wonders if she made the right choice. Using Zangetsu's katana, Miriam instead exposes Gremory's hiding place in the throne room and she escapes. Freed from the demon's control, Gebel is only able to give Miriam his final apologies before the crystals in his body consume him completely. Alfred then arrives to steal the Liber Logaeth from them and flees.

Miriam chases Gremory and Alfred through a dimensional portal into another part of the castle. Inside, she finds Alfred mortally wounded and the Liber Logaeth gone. As he dies, he explains that he was trying to use the Liber Logaeth as part of a spell he had cast throughout the Hellhold to destroy it. He also reveals that he was the one who put Miriam in her slumber ten years ago to sabotage the Guild's summoning, knowing her power as a Shardbinder was so immense that it would have brought even worse destruction than what was summoned had she been sacrificed.

Reuniting with Zangetsu, Miriam tracks down Gremory. Zangetsu uses his power to bind the demon in place, but he is seemingly killed in the process and so Miriam defeats Gremory alone. She then locates the Liber Logaeth and the one who stole it: Dominique. Craving the power to defy and destroy God for letting everybody die during the demon summoning ten years ago, Dominique reveals that she has turned herself into a Shardbinder through extensive study of Miriam and Gebel and uses the Liber Logaeth to summon Bael, the king of demons. Miriam banishes Dominique and Bael, and Johannes uses the Liber Logaeth to complete Alfred's spell and destroy the Hellhold.

As peace returns to the land, Miriam mourns the sacrifices made for her victory and wonders if the world will ever truly be free of the demons. Johannes consoles Miriam by revealing that with the Liber Logaeth, he may have the means to permanently stop the crystals from consuming her body. Miriam and Johannes leave Arvantville while an unseen person's shadow steps into view, revealed to be Zangetsu, who survived the events of the story after managing to escape Hell. He retrieves his sword, Zangetsuto, after watching the pair walk away.

After the tragic death of her father, who had been ambushed and killed years ago, Rosario returns to the ranch that had belonged to him. Rosario arrives with the desire to meet "''El Siete Machos''" ("The Seven Macho Men"), an outlaw who in the style of Robin Hood distributes the loot of his robberies among the poor, called like that because "he possesses the courage of seven macho men". Along the way, Rosario meets Margarito, a naive but rogueish ranch hand who looks identical to El Siete Machos.

The Caribbean Sea, somewhere on the coast of Mexico. The local authorities receive reports about an approaching cyclone and issue a general alert, but a small passenger plane, a tour boat and a fishing trawler fail to receive - or heed - the warning and are caught in the storm. The fishing vessel springs a leak and sinks, forcing the fishermen to abandon it; the airplane crashes into the sea, killing most of the passengers and forcing the rest to evacuate; the tour boat's motor is damaged, and one of the tourists is swept overboard and drowns. After the storm has abated, sharks are lured to the area by the dead inside the plane wreck, and subsequently kill one of the drifting survivors.

Once the cyclone is gone, the Mexican coast guard starts a fruitless search for the missing, and after three days they abandon hope of finding any survivors. The plane passengers are picked up by the fishermen, and later they are taken in by the drifting tour boat, for a total of twenty-seven people trying to survive. As food and water run out, the fishermen kill a dog belonging to one of the tourists for them to eat. When one of the fishermen dies, he is used to bait a shark, but the shark manages to snatch the corpse away. When one of the tourists perishes, his body is cut up and his flesh cured and salted for food. In addition, one of the female tourists gives birth to a baby. As the days wear on and the situation becomes more and more desperate, it is decided that several of the passengers and Pitorro, the trawler's captain, use the lifeboat to go for help. The drifters are eventually picked up by a passing American yacht, and rescue efforts are initiated.

As the night passes, a female passenger dies and is cast overboard by her grieving husband. The next day, when Taylor, a selfish passenger from the plane, tries to appropriate some of the sparse water supply for himself, a fight breaks out, in which course the glass bottom of the boat is shattered. The boat sinks, forcing the occupants into the water. As they float in the sea, sharks are attracted to the scene and devour almost half of the shipwrecked, including Taylor, before two seaplanes arrive and rescue the remaining survivors.

Anna suffers from severe agoraphobia and has not left her childhood home in the ten years since her father died. She takes care of her brother, Conrad, who is dying of pancreatic cancer, and receives daily food deliveries from Dan, with whom she is friends. Her brother tries to encourage her to move on and leave the house. After Conrad dies, Anna and Dan commiserate over how they both feel trapped in their current situations. Anna offers Dan a large sum of money as a chance to escape his circumstances but he declines.

The day of Conrad's funeral, three men (Perry, Vance, and his brother J.P.) break into Anna's house looking for the money. When they discover Anna, one of them puts her on the couch and duct tapes her ankles together but they are surprised to find she cannot leave the house, even after being untied and the door being right in front of her. Trying to draw her out of hiding, Perry kills her pet bird but she refuses to reveal the location of the money. Dan arrives, looking for Anna since she was not at her brother's funeral.

As Anna nears death, Perry's wound catches up to him and he dies before he can kill her. Dan attempts to escape and finds Perry dead, as well as a body in the freezer. Conrad's lawyer arrives to check on Anna. Anna acts normal but when Dan begins yelling for help and banging on the door, the lawyer hears him. Anna passes it off as an old radiator that Dan is downstairs working on. After the lawyer buys this and leaves, Anna traps Dan and J.P. in one room.

As Anna watches from the cameras, J.P. deduces the truth of their situation: Conrad was a serial killer who lured his victims into the basement and killed them while Anna watched, thus explaining the various contraptions around the house. Anna confirms this but clarifies that all of their victims were child molesters, as was Anna and Conrad's father. She recalls the story of her father's abuse and her brother killing him. She promises to release Dan if he kills J.P. and reveals a gun with a single bullet but Dan refuses. J.P. grabs the gun and Anna tries to convince him to kill himself for causing his younger brother's death. He laughs at this and points the gun at Dan. Anna, who does not want Dan to die, unlocks the door, and J.P. and Dan escape.

He attacks Anna, trying to choke her to death with a pillow, and alludes to raping her after she passes out. Dan arrives when she is again near death and distracts J.P. enough for her to grab the gun from J.P.'s pants and shoot him. Dan and Anna share a long look and he leaves without a word. Anna listens to him drive away. She then stands and takes one step out the door. On her way out, she sparks the blaze, burning the house and its secrets.

In 2015, the Helix player, now an Assassin Initiate, is again contacted by Bishop (Kate Todd) to help the Brotherhood find a Piece of Eden in London. While Rebecca Crane and Shaun Hastings infiltrate Abstergo's facility in London, the Initiate relives the memories of Jacob and Evie Frye, twin Assassins from the Victorian era.

In 1868, Evie infiltrates a lab run by David Brewster and Templar occultist Lucy Thorne, and finds them experimenting on an Apple of Eden. Evie assassinates Brewster, learning that the Templars seek another artifact in London, and escapes from the lab after the Apple explodes. The Frye twins head to London to stop the Templars from finding this Piece of Eden, and meet fellow Assassin Henry Green. Henry informs them that the London Brotherhood has fallen, and the city is controlled by the Templars, led by Crawford Starrick, a powerful figure in the city's industry and criminal underworld. Although Evie wishes to search for the Piece of Eden, Jacob convinces her to help liberate London's boroughs from Templar-run gangs. In the process, they build up their own gang, the Rooks, and make allies such as Frederick Abberline, Alexander Graham Bell, Charles Darwin, Ned Wynert, and Edward Hodson Bayley.

During this time, Jacob, seeking to undermine Starrick's control over London society, assassinates Starrick's allies, including Dr. John Elliotson, who oversaw the production of an addictive tonic; Malcolm Milner, the owner of Starrick's omnibus company; Pearl Attaway, Starrick's cousin and main competitor; Philip Twopenny, the Governor of the Bank of England who was secretly robbing it; James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan, who planned to assassinate Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli; and gang leader Maxwell Roth, who initially supports Jacob, but later reveals himself to be a dangerous sadist.

Meanwhile, Evie looks for the Piece of Eden with Henry's help. Following clues underneath Edward Kenway's mansion, they find the key to the Shroud's vault, but Thorne steals it and heads to the Tower of London. Evie infiltrates the Tower and kills Thorne, who reveals the Shroud is not there. Henry believes the vault is hidden in Buckingham Palace, and enlists Maharajah Duleep Singh's help to obtain the building's schematics; however, the Templars seize them first. Evie also corrects consequences of Jacob's assassinations, such as medicine shortages and currency inflation.

With his lieutenants dead, Starrick moves to retrieve the Shroud. Jacob and Evie argue over his recklessness and her inaction, but agree to work together to stop Starrick. They infiltrate a ball held at Buckingham Palace, but Starrick beats them to the vault and obtains the Shroud. With Henry's help, the Frye twins kill Starrick, before reconciling and returning the Shroud to the vault. For their deeds, Queen Victoria knights the Frye twins and Henry.

In the present, Rebecca and Shaun spy on a meeting between senior Templars Isabelle Ardant and Álvaro Gramática, who are also searching for the Shroud. They attempt to capture Ardant, but are forced to flee after being attacked by Otso Berg and Violet da Costa. After the Initiate locates the Shroud, Shaun, Rebecca and Assassin Galina Voronina head to the vault, but discover that Ardant, Berg, and da Costa beat them to it. A fight ensues, in which Ardant is killed and da Costa escapes with the Shroud. Hacking Ardant's computer, the Assassins learn the Templars plan to use the Shroud to construct a living Precursor. They also discover that Juno is manipulating employees within Abstergo to sabotage the company, and has her own plans for the Shroud.

''Time Anomaly''

While exploring Jacob and Evie's memories, the Initiate encounters a "time anomaly" in the Animus, which causes them to relive the memories of Jacob's granddaughter, Lydia Frye. In 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, the Brotherhood removes Jacob and Evie to the countryside while Lydia's husband, a fellow Assassin, is enrolled in the British Army, leaving Lydia to defend London from German spies. In 1916, at the behest of Winston Churchill, Lydia eliminates a German spy facility in Tower Bridge. In the process, she discovers the Templars have infiltrated the Germans' spy network, and hunts them down. In exchange for her services, Churchill promises Lydia that he will ensure the enfranchisement of women after the War. Lydia eventually conquers every Templar-infested area in London, and flushes out the leader of the Templars, revealed to be a Sage, the reincarnation of Juno's husband Aita.

For every objective completed, Juno, the one causing the anomaly, appears and tells the Initiate of her past and rise to power. After Lydia kills the Sage, Juno thanks the Initiate for discovering his fate, and suggests that she and the Assassins could work together in the future.

Corporal Park Dong-hyuk is a newly enlisted sailor in the Republic of Korea Navy assigned to the patrol vessel ''PKM 357''. In the midst of the 2002 FIFA World Cup taking place in South Korea, North Korea deploys fishing trawlers with spies to cross the Northern Limit Line (the demarcation line at sea).

Michael York plays James Durie, the Master of Ballantrae (i.e. the eldest son who will inherit the state and also the title of Lord Durrisdeer). His younger brother, Henry Durie, is played by Richard Thomas, remembered largely because of his role as John Boy on "The Waltons". Their father, Lord Durrisdeer, is played by veteran action Sir John Gielgud, who earned an Emmy as Best Supporting Actor for the role. Ian Richardson (who starred as the evil Francis Urquhart in the TV series House of Cards) plays the faithful Mr MacKellar, who manages the estate and becomes Henry Durie's friend and confidant; Finola Hughes plays Alison Graeme; and a youthful Timothy Dalton, later James Bond, stars as Colonel (or Captain) Francis Burke, an Irish adventurer who befriends the Master.

The action starts in 1745, when Bonnie Prince Charlie lands in Scotland and the last Jacobite rebellion breaks out. James, the Master of Ballantrae, is a brave but foolish and hot-headed young man. He decides to join the uprising, against the advice of his father and younger brother. Eventually it is decided that one brother must join the Jacobites, but the other must remain loyal to the government so that, no matters who wins, the family's future will be safe. There is historical truth here, as many Irish and Scottish families did exactly this during the Jacobite years. In fact, exiled Jacobites living in France often received money from their relatives and friends in the United Kingdom.

For the sake of the family, it would be best that James, the Master of Ballantrae, as the eldest son, stays loyal to the government; and his younger brother joins the rebels. But The Master will not have it, as he craves adventure. He insists in tossing and coin and he wins ... that is, he wins the right to join the losing side. The Jacobites, as we know, are defeated in the Battle of Culloden, and James is reported dead. In fact, he survives the battle and flees to England, where he teams up with another survivor, Irishman Francis Burke. They make it to the coast, where they are captured by pirates ... but James' charm and cunning soon allow him to get the upper hand and he becomes their co-leader, alongside their skipper, Captain Teach (not to be confused with the real Blackbeard of that name).

Back home, brother Henry is held in contempt by his tenants and by James' sweetheart, their cousin Alison Graeme, who feel he should have joined the Jacobites. The family is covered in debt, but Alison would bring a dowry, and it is agreed that she should now marry Henry. She still loves James, but he has been reported dead, but Henry has always hopelessly loved her. She marries out of love for the family; he out of love for her. It is a "marriage of convenience" and Alison is distressed when she learns that James is alive.

Saying more would spoil the film. Suffice it to say that the Master or Ballantrae and Colonel Burke leave the pirate ship and end up first in North America, then in Paris and then in India. It has always been clear that James Durie is a scoundrel, but he has good looks and charm, and Michael York certainly fits the role. The Master seduces everyone he encounters, including those who watch the film, but as the action progresses the character becomes darker and increasingly evil. In the end, James Durie/Michael York reminds that the Devil is, after all, a gentleman.

The younger brother does his best to run the estate, but he is too dull to charm anyone, and only Mr MacKellar appreciates his qualities. James, the Master of Ballantrae, hates his brother for having taken his place, although it was his own (James') choice to join the Jacobites. The Master is always demanding money from poor Henry, not only because of the money, but because he wishes to exact revenge. Henry, initially kind and good, also becomes a darker person as the plot continues, because his brother drives him to despair.

A father travels to Mexico to claim the body of his son who has just committed suicide under mysterious circumstances.

Billionaire Charles Deaver (Richard Fitzpatrick), who has been heavily disfigured by an automobile accident, seeks to save his life by investing in the work of Dr. Nathaniel Leech (James Binkley). Leech is a scientist developing a serum to regenerate dead cells, which he hopes to use to save his wife Miranda, who is dying of leukemia. When he presents the serum to Deaver, Leech explains that as the serum works, the patient will develop a ravenous hunger that must be treated with a special formula to avoid side effects. Deaver has his henchmen, including his top deputy Krendal (Wendy Anderson), brutally beat Leech; after Krendal shoots the doctor several times, Deaver orders his men to inject Leech with the serum and lock him in a tunnel system overnight, to see if the serum indeed works and regenerates him. As he does not have access to the accompanying formula, Leech's hunger quickly drives him to eat a rat and later a dog. He begins to mutate into a hybrid creature shortly thereafter.

A group of salvage workers led by Vince Stoker (Tom Sizemore) arrive at an abandoned hospital, hoping to find old equipment they can sell for quick cash. Stoker's niece, Sam (Amber Cull), is with the team for the first time. As they explore the hospital, they reach the tunnels beneath the building, which are coincidentally where Leech is trapped. Having now fully mutated into a giant, rat-like monster, Leech begins stalking and killing the workers. As their numbers dwindle, they too become trapped in the maze of tunnels and are forced to not only deal with the monster, but Deaver's men and Krendal, who Deaver has sent into the tunnels. Krendal is later revealed to be a double agent working for the government, whose mission is to acquire Leech's serum so it can be weaponized by the military.

When Stoker's remaining group encounters Krendal, she initially tries to capture and dispose of them, but she is forced to work together with them to survive when the monster attacks again. Stoker's friend, Otis (Martin Roach), manages to find equipment to use to fight the creature. Meanwhile, the monster manages to reach Deaver in his limousine and, remembering Deaver's betrayal of Leech, exacts revenge by decapitating Deaver. Down in the tunnels, Stoker, Sam and Krendal set timed explosives, intending to destroy the area to kill the creature. In order to buy Stoker and Sam time to escape, Krendal confronts the monster and is killed when it tears her jaw off. Otis returns with a large saw, and the group manage to finally kill the monster by cutting into its chest. Just as they finally kill the creature, however, the timers run out and the explosives detonate, killing Otis while Stoker and Sam barely survive.

Some time later, Stoker awakens in an unfamiliar hospital, where he learns from the doctor of Sam's survival. It quickly becomes apparent, however, that the reason why they survived is that they too have become infected with Leech's serum, due to the monster's blood splashing into their wounds as they killed it. The doctor, who is actually part of the government's operation, tells Stoker that he will be useful for the country as he connects a packet of the nutrient formula to Stoker's intravenous drip. He then leaves the room, leaving Stoker to cry out in pain from his overwhelming hunger.

He lures Kathleen to a lonely spot in the woods and leaves her. After being deserted by her husband, she is set upon by ruffians, and rescued only by the timely arrival of Terence, who kills one of her assailants.

The action of the play takes place on St Patrick's day. The farcical Irish hero Lieutenant O'Connor is in love with Lauretta, daughter of Justice Credulous. The lieutenant and his men are billeted on the town where the Justice's family lives, and although the lovers are thus continually in close proximity, Lauretta's jealous father prevents them from often meeting. O'Connor's men complain that ''"ever since your honour differed with justice Credulous, our inn-keepers use us most scurvily ... so we humbly petition that your honour would make an end of the matter at once, by running away with the justice's daughter".'' Their complaints are of no serious turn however, one soldier grieving that he is not allowed a ''"light to go to bed by"'' at his inn, whereas the provocation they give includes occasionally ''"fling[ing] a cartridge into the kitchen fire"'', or ''"drum[ming] up and down stairs"'' during the night.

Dr Rosy, a man of sentimental character who is obsessively mourning the recent loss of his beloved wife Dolly, is a friend of the Lieutenant's. He now helps him to formulate a plot to elope with Lauretta, by first insinuating himself into the Judge's confidence in disguise. Lauretta, meanwhile, secretly favours the Lieutenant's advances. She tells this to her mother, Mrs. Bridget Credulous, who warns her of what might come of marrying a soldier - ''"Oh, barbarous! to want a husband that may wed you to-day, and be sent the Lord knows where before night; then in a twelvemonth perhaps to have him come like a Colossus, with one leg at New York, and the other at Chelsea Hospital".'' She softens, however, when Lauretta says she ''"heard him say you were the best natured and best looking woman in the world"''. The Justice comes in to tell then that he has hired a new servant to help protect his daughter from the Lieutenant's importunities, and the audience witnesses a highly edifying conversation between the three parties, exemplary of the usual domestic turmoil in the Justice's house.

Attired as a common rustic, O'Connor is introduced by Dr Rosy as "Honest Humphrey Hum", of a naive and bashful temperament. He is soon entrusted with Lauretta, to mind her while she walks in the garden, with especial instructions to keep her safe from the soldiers. As soon as they are alone, O'Connor tells her who he is, and the Justice returns a few minutes later to kind him kissing her. Discovering his true identity in his anger, he dismisses him angrily and threatens to shoot him should he return. Returning to Dr Rosy in despair, he soon comes up with another plan and, disguised as a German quack, sends a missive to the Judge informing him that he has been poisoned. In terror Credulous sends for Dr Rosy, who affirms that he has been poisoned, ''"how came these black spots on your nose?...alack, how you are swelled".'' He tells him that the only hope lies in consulting the German, and O'Connor is accordingly sent for. When he arrives, he informs Justice Credulous that he has an antidote, but that he will give it to him only on the payment of three thousand pounds, and permission to marry his daughter if he can get her consent. Trusting that Lauretta will never give the latter, Credulous agrees, only to find too late that he has been at last outwitted. The play ends happily, with Justice Credulous withdrawing his objection :''"I give my daughter to you, who are the most impudent dog I ever saw in my life"'', and that the affair will provide he and his wife ''"a good subject for [them] to quarrel about the rest of [their] lives"''.

;Series One ''Cordon'' begins with the arrival of an illegal Afghan immigrant in a container, in Antwerp, Belgium. Shortly afterward, he visits the fictional National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID) in the city to get inoculated against local infections. Police Commissioner Lex Faes is informed by higher authorities that he must arrest the immigrant at his relatives' home. Faes sends his best friend, Inspector Jokke Deelen, to pick up the suspect and take him to NIIDA. However, after the immigrant is in custody, Faes is told the man might have a viral infection, so Jokke is ordered to remain at the center.

Subsequently, the city neighborhood around the center is sealed off from the outside world to contain the virus. Shipping containers are placed across the entrance to all road junctions. Three gates (sluices) control access through which medical supplies and food are sent. Faes is placed in control of the southern section of the cordon. However, adding to his problems is the knowledge that his girlfriend is trapped at her place of work within the cordon.

As people start to become seriously ill with the virus and start dying, public order begins to break down within the containment area. Murder, violence, and theft take hold. Criminals seize control of the food distribution centers while others break into properties or rob from the weak. Meanwhile, a jaded journalist takes the persona The Horsemen, blogging about the unfolding disaster. He soon discovers that the official line coming from Sabine Lommers, the Minister for Health, is not the whole truth. With the help of Faes, he discovers that the virus was not brought into Antwerp by the Afghan immigrant; its origin was more likely NIID, itself.

The series reaches its climax when Faes realises he is being set up by the state's secret service, because his investigations are getting too close to the source of the outbreak. The journalist, whom Faes thought was helping him, admits he's been "gotten to" and has joined the official cover-up of the cause of the virus. Meanwhile, Jokke, who has become disillusioned after seeing so many people he cared for die, rescues a young boy from criminals who are selling his bodily fluids (urine, blood) as a cure because he seems immune. He takes the boy to NIID, where Dr. Cannaerts, the center's professor, says that the boy's natural antibodies are stopping the virus, meaning there might be a cure. However, he tells Jokke, the boy was still infected, meaning the policeman is, too.

As Jokke is dying, Cannaerts confesses. The viral outbreak was caused by one of his trainees, who carelessly opened a package of man-made mutated avian flu from Brazil. Cannaerts admits he should have followed protocols for such a dangerous disease, but it was the pathogen he needed to complete his research (before he took a senior position at the United Nations), so he had it delivered secretly by courier. His work and knowledge of the virus helped the authorities put measures in place to quarantine the area around NIID. Angered by these revelations, and the fact that the doctor has no intentions of admitting his culpability, Jokke attacks Cannaerts, deliberately infecting him.

Faes also discovers that his team has been compromised by a mole who has been feeding information to the criminals inside the cordon. When he finds that the rosters have been changed so part of the cordon has been left unguarded, he joins some soldiers to investigate the district's sewers. Within these tunnels he finds his girlfriend Jana, who is trying to escape. However, he also finds the insider: his own deputy Nald. When the corrupt cop goes for his gun, Faes shoots him down. He then reconciles with Jana. Accepting their fate, they return to the rubbish-strewn streets of the decaying cordon together.

The novel is told in the first person, from the perspective of an American photographer named Charles Castle. Castle is currently held in a prison cell in England. He is to be executed the next day for the crime of murder. He recounts the events, which began four months earlier, that led to his imprisonment and death sentence.

Working as a photographer in London, Castle was visited by a constable named Michael Walsmear. Walsmear showed Castle two photographs, each of a different young girl, and asked Castle's professional opinion as two whether the photographs are genuine. Walsmear went on to point out several tiny spots in the photographs, and he insisted these spots are not dust or imperfections of the film, but instead ''fairies''. Castle enlarged the negatives and looked at the splotches of light, which indeed resembled fairies. Walsmear only wished to confirm that the fairies were real, but Castle was strongly intrigued by the possibility of the existence of fairies. Castle then took copies of the photographs to Arthur Conan Doyle, who possessed a different set of "fairy" photographs. Doyle was not convinced by Walsmear's photographs with the splotches of light, but he wanted all copies of Walsmear's photographs destroyed so that Doyle's own "fairy" photographs would have less competition.

Given some money by Doyle, Castle traveled by train to Burkinwell, a fictitious town in England. On the train he met a woman named Linda Drain, and the two of them were robbed by a pair of thieves named Paolo and Shorty. In Burkinwell, Castle met the two girls from the photographs, Clara and Anna Templeton, as well their father, Brian Templeton, who is allegedly syphilitic. Linda Drain turned out to be the wife of Thomas Drain, the local minister, who allowed Castle to set up a darkroom in the cellar of the church. Castle then traveled into the woods, seeking out a Gypsy camp where he would find Walsmear and ask his assistance in procuring more photographs of the fairies in the Templeton garden. Castle located Walsmear, but the constable was hesitant to help because Walsmear was partially responsible for the death of Mrs. Templeton, the mother of Anna and Clara. Castle then got drunk at the Gypsy camp and was attacked violently by Paolo and Shorty, the same thieves from the train.

Castle woke up in a bed in the Templeton house. As he recovered from his injuries, the girls Anna and Clara showed him the fairies in their garden, though Castle could not see anything. Later, one night, Castle saw Thomas Drain enter the Templeton garden, alone and completely naked. Drain made orgiastic movements as if being fondled by someone, though no one was there. A few nights later, Castle saw Anna and Clara sneak out of their house, eat special flowers from the garden, and socialize with the fairies. Castle tried eating the same type of flower and saw a mysterious mist appear, followed by visions of fairies and tiny men (called "elves" in Castle's narration). The following day Castle tried to locate more of the special flowers – described as having "short, purplish red, spiky" petals, a "single yellow tuft that protruded above them," and "sharply serrated leaf edges" - but Mr. Templeton took the only remaining flower of its kind and refused to give Castle access to it. Years ago Walsmear had mistakenly run over Mrs. Templeton with his car (Walsmear also once had an affair with her), and Walsmear believed Mrs. Templeton had run blindly into the road because she had been chasing fairies, under the influence of the mysterious flower. Walsmear's only reason for proving to himself that the fairies were real, was to assuage his conscience – to convince himself that she died as a result of seeing fairies, as opposed to her committing suicide from guilt as a result of her having an affair with Walsmear.

Castle's interest in the fairies, by this time, was purely self-serving; he fancied he had made an amazing discovery in the garden and prepared to take some photographs of the garden at night, using special lighting techniques. On his way to the garden the next night, however, Castle once again ran into Paolo and Shorty, whom Walsmear hired to steal the photographs from the Templeton house. They were then joined by Thomas Drain, naked and about to have another orgy with the fairies. Paolo and Shorty mistakenly killed Drain and left Castle for dead. Castle was later found and arrested.

Thus Castle is blamed for the murder of Thomas Drain, for several reasons: Paolo and Shorty vanished from the garden and were never seen again; it was discovered that Castle was having an affair with Linda Drain; and Castle cannot give any reasonable explanation as to why he came to the Templeton garden that night. Just the night before he is executed, Castle is visited one more time by the fairies in his prison cell.

Grace Blakely is a sixteen year old American who grew up between her native country and the fictional Mediterranean nation of Adria, located in the Balkan Peninsula, which she has roots in. Grace's mother Caroline was killed in what she believes was a murder, but is told by her family was a fire. Grace remembers the face of a man with a large scar who was on the scene of Caroline's death, and believes he was responsible for the murder.

Grace's father sends her to return to Adria to live in an American embassy with her grandfather, the ambassador. She immediately takes a disliking to the embassy and Ms Chancellor, a senior woman working there. Trying to escape the embassy, she briefly meets a German girl who scares her into staying inside. She also meets her brother Jamie's old friend, Alexei Volkov, who is the son of a senior Russian embassy worker. She initially does not recognise him but has a flashback of them playing together as young children. She eventually leaves the embassy, where she slips and, in doing so, accidentally punches the Russian ambassador. She is taken to the Russian embassy where she is heavily questioned but eventually let go.

In the night, a boy breaks into her bedroom. He introduces himself as Noah Estaban, a half Israeli and half Brazilian boy residing between the embassies of his two countries. Noah takes Grace to a secret party being held in a cliff owned by the Iranian embassy, which has since been abandoned. Here, she meets the German girl and finds out her name is Rosie, a former gymnast. They immediately become friends and Grace sticks up for Rosie when Noah's twin sister, Lila, bullies her and demands that she leaves. In a fit of anger, Rosie snatches Lila's scarf, but the wind blows it out of her hands and lands on the Iranian flagpole. Grace realises that the scarf bears a striking resemblance to the Israeli flag and Noah immediately calls off the party, scared to cause an international incident. Despite protests from her friends, later that night Grace breaks into the abandoned Iranian embassy to retrieve the scarf but overhears two men meeting in secret. When she sees one of them, she believes him to be the scarred man who murdered her mother.

She learns soon after that she is due to be attending a royal ball as her grandfather's date. She immediately refuses but becomes more open to the idea after Ms Chancellor gets Noah and her old friend Megan to help her prepare. On the night of the ball, Grace briefly talks to Alexei before he disappears up a staircase. Grace tries to follow him but runs into the Scarred Man and becomes too scared to continue searching for Alexei. Noah eventually makes Grace go home. When she arrives at Embassy Row, she sees Alexei and has a panic attack, forcing him to carry her to bed.

Several days later, Grace, Noah, Rosie and Megan break into the Scarred Man's house, where Megan documents the footage. They go to the Iranian embassy to watch it over. Whilst looking for the Scarred Man on her computer, Megan and Noah discover several scarred men, all of whom Grace has accused of killing her mother. Noah is furious and believes that she has been lying to him the entire time.

Grace sees her grandfather chatting to the Scarred Man and immediately confronts him. Her grandfather says that his name is Dominic Novak and that he is an agent for the Prime Minister, and that there is no way that he could have killed her mother. At the G20 summit, which is due to be held in Adria, she believes that someone is going to assassinate the Prime Minister, but learns instead that Dominic was actually a friend of her mother's. He takes her into the tunnels under the city, where they run into the Prime Minister. Dominic tries to persuade Grace to run away, but Ms Chancellor shoots the Prime Minister in the chest, sending him into a coma.

Ms Chancellor shows Grace a picture of Dominic with her mother taken three days before her death, noting that he does not have the scar. Grace realises that she herself is her mother's killer - she fired a gun at Dominic who she believed to be attempting to kill her mother but was actually staging her death by setting fire to the jewellery store she was in at the time. Caroline, trying to save her friend, took every bullet and died. She also learns that Alexei has been sent back to Moscow by his father.

The book ends with Ms Chancellor taking Grace into a different section of the tunnel run by a secret society of women that Grace's mother was a part of.

This results in Cynthia revoking Bob's plot and leaving with Logan. Bob pleads with her and he agrees to make Logan employee of the month in order to keep the plot. This causes Louise to quit, as Bob has effectively chosen Logan over her, his own daughter.

Louise stays up in the apartment while Logan is in the restaurant. She fires spitballs at Logan through the crawl space and taunts him. Bob tells Louise to stop, but while he berates her through the crawl space vent and tells her once again to support the "greater good", Louise takes Bob's hedge clippers and heads off to the garden to destroy Bob's plot. Bob chases her, but cannot crawl through the locked fence to stop her. While trying to talk Louise out of it, he refers to his plants as his babies in front of her and he realizes that he cared more for his plant "children" than his actual children. Louise spares Bob's plants and forgives him on the condition that she get to fire Logan herself. She does so and Cynthia again revokes Bob's plot, but Bob has already safely transported his plants to his home. The episode ends with Bob and Louise planting them in a window box, which falls to the ground under the weight of the plants and soil.

Leah Olivar (Nadine Lustre) grew up in a very poor, but happy family. When she was 12 years old, her mother, Rona (Isay Alvarez), goes to the United States to work towards a better future for their family. Life eventually becomes better for Leah, her sister, Tiffany (Bianca Manalo), and their father, Sol (Joel Torre). However, a tragedy changes their lives forever. For Leah, Rona's death creates a desire for her to go to the America and fulfill her mother's "American dream".

Ten years later, this dream comes true as Leah gets her visa to compete in a choir competition in San Francisco, California. After the contest, Leah extends her stay in San Francisco with the intention of visiting her mother's grave, and to find a way to legally work in the United States. However, to Leah's surprise, her mother's grave was nowhere to be found, and as her visa expires, finding a job that would allow her to remain in the United States also becomes elusive.

With the urging of Jack (Cherry Pie Picache), the mother of Leah's ex-boyfriend, Jigs (Albie Casiño), and out of desperation, Leah agrees to a marriage of convenience so that she could get her visa. But with Leah's limited resources, it will be hard for Jack to find her a partner. The only suitable person that would agree to the small amount that Leah is willing to pay is Jack's nephew, Clark (James Reid), who has been living in San Francisco for the past 11 years. His life has been full of heartbreaks as he went to the United States with his mother, Ofelia (Katya Santos), to be introduced to his American father, Kenneth. Soon after, Kenneth refuses to recognize Clark as his son, and Ofelia then suddenly dies. Clark gets placed into foster homes, where he was regularly abused. Later, because of his love for his siblings in the Philippines, Clark persevered and managed to survive life in the U.S. These misfortunes and responsibilities in life deprived Clark of romantic love.

Despite their disastrous first meeting, Leah and Clark spend time as a fake couple and learn about each other's past, quirks and habits, in order to pass the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) interview. As time passes, Leah and Clark discover a certain fondness for each other. They also realize that both have the same goals in life and that is to make a better life for their family.

They also start to sympathize with each other, as both reveal their deepest secrets. Soon, the sham marriage between Leah and Clark becomes real.

Background

In the distant past on the Moon, the Lunarian goddess Chang'e orders her husband Hou Yi to kill the son of her rival Junko. In a grief-stricken fit of rage, Junko murders Hou Yi and becomes consumed in her anger, becoming a pure identity-less divine spirit in the process that lives solely to enact revenge on Chang'e. In this time, Chang'e drinks the Hourai Elixir, a sinful potion that forever immortalises the user, and becomes imprisoned by the Lunarians for the eternal crime of ingesting it.

Some time after the events of ''Imperishable Night'', Junko invades the Moon with an army of fairies, with the help of her friend Hecatia Lapislazuli, a goddess of Hell, to search for Chang'e. As a result, Lunarian goddess Sagume Kishin orders the ruler of the Dream World, Doremy Sweet, to create a fake version of the moon's Lunar Capital within the Dream World, so that the citizens of the moon can temporarily live in peace while the empty Capital is ransacked without their knowledge. Realising that there is no real option of quelling Junko's anger and that Junko may well find their temporary home, Sagume starts to concoct the "Lunar Capital Transfer Plan", a plan to permanently relocate the Lunar Capital to Gensokyo by purifying the entire land.

Six months prior to the events of the game, the events of ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' occur, and one of the Occult Balls scattered in Gensokyo, the Lunar Capital ball, is intentionally planted by Sagume Kishin to start the plan.

In the present day, the Lunarian fugitive goddesses Kaguya Houraisan and Eirin Yagokoro discuss the potential Lunarian invasion in their home of Eientei, and Eirin conjures a special medicine, the Ultramarine Orb Elixir, which removes the impurity of death and allows the user to experience the immediate future. Eirin then asks Reisen Udongein Inaba, a fellow moon rabbit refugee who serves as the bodyguard of Eientei, to deliver the elixir to Reimu Hakurei, Sanae Kochiya, and Marisa Kirisame, also telling her to drink it for herself. Meanwhile, a metallic spider-like rover from the Moon crashes into Youkai Mountain and starts to roam around, purifying any land it passes by and leaving no signs of life. Reimu Hakurei and Sanae Kochiya both notice the rover's resemblance to NASA's Curiosity, and decide to investigate. Marisa Kirisame studies the Lunar Capital ball in her home, realising it is attracting the Lunarians, before Reisen enters and offers her the elixir, presumably before she also offers it to Reimu and Sanae. The chosen heroine then either drinks the elixir (Pointdevice Mode) or refuses it (Legacy Mode). ZUN has stated that the canon option is the heroine refusing the elixir, but not dying once.

Main

While flying at the foot of the Youkai Mountain, the heroine encounters the frontline moon rabbit troops of the Lunarian Earth Recon Unit sent to purify the Earth, and encounters the low ranking infiltrator Seiran, who lets slip that their forward base is present at the mountain's lake. The heroine then encounters Ringo, a laid-back but high ranking commander, who confesses that she doesn't care about the Lunarian army's plan, and directs the heroine to a hidden gate leading to the Dream World that the Lunarians use as a passage between Gensokyo and the fake Lunar Capital. In the Dream World, the heroine encounters Doremy, who tests the heroine's strength. She then directs them to the real Lunar Capital, against Sagume's instructions.

In the real Lunar Capital on the moon, the heroine encounters Sagume, who initially is quiet and does not respond to the heroine until she is defeated. Believing that the heroine can now solve her problem, Sagume then reveals the real purpose of the Lunarian invasion. Revealing that she can change the course of fate inversely with her words, her ability ensures the Lunar Capital Transfer Plan will not come to fruition as a result of her discussion. Sagume bets on the likelihood that the heroine will succeed, and directs them to the Sea of Tranquility.

At the Sea of Tranquility, the heroine encounters a barrage of hell fairies, who have overrun the moon. The leader of the hell fairies, Clownpiece, who has been given an order by Hecatia not to show visitors from the Lunar Capital mercy, then attacks the heroine. After she is defeated, she notes how pure Lunarians should not have been able to hurt her and her army, and reluctantly guides the heroine to Junko. Depending on the player's results, Junko either states that she has lost before the battle even begins or berates the player for being surrounded by the stench of death. After defeating Junko, either the events of the Extra stage happen or the Lunarians either start to inhabit Gensokyo against Eientei's wishes.

Extra Stage

After the hero defeats Junko, the invasion does not stop, and the residents of the fake Lunar Capital start to ponder if their reality is false. In a panic, Sagume descends to Gensokyo and asks the heroines to investigate in the Dream World once more. There, the heroine faces Doremy again, and comes face to face once more with Junko, now with Hecatia. Junko reveals that she sent Hecatia into the Dream World previously during her invasion to prevent the Lunarian citizens from escaping the Dream World as her failsafe. The heroine battles Junko and Hecatia simultaneously, and once both are defeated, they finally yield with their plan and ask to be escorted to Eientei to meet Eirin, to which the heroine accepts.

During businessman Matthews's party his industrial property was attacked and destroyed by terrorists of the megalomaniac, The Cobra. Meanwhile, there was a wrestling match in which famous wrestler, Goldface, participated and won. A German reporter trying to get an interview with him, has only found out that nobody knows the man under the mask. In reality, Goldface is Dr. Vilar, a scientist at the laboratory of millionaire Perera; and a womanizer.

The Cobra demands $2 million from Perera in exchange for protection of his factories. Company heads assign Dr. Vilar to deliver the money to the extortionists. He arrives at the meeting place, where Cobra's agent, Number 2, takes the suitcase with the money. After the deal, Dr. Vilar chases Cobra's men to a hotel. He changes to Goldface, attacks the terrorists, and recovers the money. The Cobra learns the money was returned to their owner and creates a new scheme.

The Cobra wants to kill Perera's daughter, Pamela. Pamela takes part in a motorcycle race. Cobra's assassin, though, sabotaged her motorcycle. However, Goldface saves the girl. A second attempt is made when Pamela and her friend, Olga, are at a beach. Assassins attack the girls during waterskiing. Goldface uses a borrowed radio-controlled toy plane with explosives and destroys the killers' boat. The Cobra is disgruntled by the failure of the assassins. Because of their failure, and because they've seen his face, Cobra kills the assassins. The Cobra is Matthews, and he plans to use the destruction of his property to obtain the insurance and rebuild.

Matthews and promoter arrange a wrestling match with an impostor Goldface in order to lure the real one. The Impostor loses the fight; and the real Goldface arrives. He and his assistant, Kotar, search for clues, and are unsuccessfully ambushed by Cobra's men. Goldface tells police Captain Claridge that he suspects Perera's administrator, Gunner, as being Cobra's inside man. The Wrestler intimidates Gunner and pursues him to Cobra's secret base.

The Cobra has Pamela kidnapped and demands $4 million ransom. Goldface and Kotar penetrate the base. Gunner is killed by Matthews. Goldface saves Pamela and signals the police to storm the base. Matthews kills Number 2 and escapes on a helicopter. Goldface chases him. The police shoot down Cobra's helicopter. And Goldface is back on a ring.

Darryl approaches Tina to be his fake girlfriend in exchange for tutoring her in her classes so she won't fail and be sent to remedial math. Tina is reluctant until Darryl explains that by being each other's fake partners, they can attract the attention of their unrequited love interests: Jimmy Jr. for Tina, and Rosa, an upperclassman whose skills in video games rival Darryl's own. Tina teams up with Darryl to win the Cupid's Couple contest at the school dance so that each of them will become popular enough to attract the attention of Jimmy Jr. and Rosa. The two publicly promote each other as perfect and desirable partners, and then stage a dramatic, public breakup.

The ploy is successful and Darryl begins dating a sympathetic Rosa while Tina has attracted the interest of Jimmy Jr. However, Tina finds that she has developed feelings for Darryl due to his exemplary staged acts of love, despite knowing they were fake. While they all go on a group date, Tina loses her composure watching Rosa and Darryl flirt and publicly exposes their ruse in an attempt to win Darryl back. Rosa is disgusted and breaks up with Darryl, and Tina immediately regrets what she has done. She speaks with Rosa and tells her that Darryl put on the ruse because he felt he was out of Rosa's league, but genuinely liked her. Rosa is unsure, but relents when she and Darryl bond over an arcade game. Dejected, and having failed math anyway, Tina arrives at remedial math class, but finds that Jimmy Jr. is also in the class and sits next to him.

The story starts in a wrecked building, where Chibi-Robo is stranded there with only six watts left. He looks around for an outlet and detects one far from him, only for the outlet to be blocked by a vent. Chibi-Robo sees another one, and heads toward it. When he gets to the outlet, it gets blocked by another vent. Then he realizes he has no watts left, collapses, and shuts off. He is then recharged and wakes up again, now finding himself in a Chibi-House with his robot manager Telly. Telly explains that they have been bought by Jenny Sanderson from the first game, who is now an adult with a child named Keith and a dog named Lucky. As Chibi-Robo and Telly leave the house, they greeted by the family, where Jenny explains that he was purchased to help clean up around the house, since she wasn’t able to keep up with housework because of her job, and it becomes apparent that the family has a lot of financial woes. During Chibi-Robo's time with Jenny's family, he takes part in a "Savings Tournament" to save up money and also meets toys that, like in the first game, come alive when humans aren't around. Some of them include completely new toys and a few returning faces. Later, Chibi-Robo discovers a casino run by ghosts in the attic controlled by mobster ghost Don De Niro. Chibi-Robo also encounters ghosts who, unlike the ghosts that work for Don, are hostile. During the fifth family meeting, Keith wishes to have his father Karl back. After this, Jenny locks herself in her room at night. Chibi-Robo and Telly sneak in through the drain, and Jenny tells them about Karl. It turns out Karl died in a mysterious accident. He and Jenny never got married, but Jenny gave birth to Keith prior to Karl's death. Keith's wish is unknowingly granted by the ghosts, resulting in Karl's ghost possessing the savings box. When he is in the moonlight, he grows to the size of a human. Chibi-Robo helps get Karl's spirit out of the savings box, but he is still the same size. Karl reveals that he cannot move on because he wishes to marry Jenny. Chibi-Robo goes to search for his and Jenny's wedding rings. He finds one in the closet, but Jenny claims it before he can. Remembering that there's another one in Don's casino, they go to get it, but Don challenges them to win the ring. Karl loses the challenge and is forced the work as a strip dancer. However, Don promises to release Karl in exchange for the "Phantom's Treasure", which his wife desires. After finding it, Karl is freed and Don hands over the ring. Keith later learns of his father's return and agrees to help prepare for his parents' wedding. Chibi-Robo attempts to get the savings box to buy a wedding dress, but Don steals it (wanting it as payment for a memo debt Chibi-Robo owed him earlier) and transports Chibi-Robo to the wrecked building in Chibi-Robo's dream. After Chibi-Robo defeats Don and reclaims the savings box, he and Karl set up the wedding in the backyard while Keith buys the wedding dress. After Chibi-Robo gets Jenny to put on the dress, he leads her to the backyard where she is shocked to see Karl, but believes she is dreaming. After the wedding, Karl is able to finally ascend to the afterlife. Jenny is saddened by his departure, but happily embraces Keith, who shows his eyes after he suggests that Jenny should start dating a worker that she met at her job, as Karl would want her to be happy.

In the beginning, Chibi-Robo appears in a ventilation system within a museum, with a semi-glowing red button in front of him. After pressing it, a trap door goes off in the floor, and Chibi-Robo falls through. He lands in the Curator's office, where he meets the Curator and a cell phone-like robot Telly, who is Chibi-Robo's manager. The Curator explains Chibi-Robo's purpose to collect photos called NostalJunk using silhouette film to help increase the museum's popularity. While performing this task, Chibi-Robo meets living toys and objects around the museum and helps them with their duties in exchange for silhouette film. In the end, the museum becomes a thrilling success, with the Curator giving Chibi-Robo credit for his efforts.

A poor man is imprisoned, but manages to flee just on the day of his daughter's wedding.

A group of six worn-out robots, colloquially called robums, has been squatting in an abandoned mansion in Coquina Beach, North Carolina. Having reached the point where humans no longer consider them worth repairing, they have been discarded, emancipated and left to shift as best they can. They self-identify by nicknames reflective of their personalities or talents taken from human history, legend or literature. Most run on liquid fuel, for which they must forage; their leader, Napoleon, is nuclear-powered, but confined to the rotting mansion by his great weight and an inoperative leg.

While the robums share the usual robotic inhibitions against hostility to human beings, this programming has been eroded by their decrepitude, and in the case of Napoleon completely broken down under the influence of hard radiation leaking from his atomic pile. He has conceived a grandiose scheme of making a human his puppet, through which he hopes to achieve political domination of mankind. The other robums readily fall in with the plan, dreaming it will grant them "all the kerosene we want and a good gasoline binge whenever we feel like it."

As we first encounter the robums, Napoleon's first attempt to realize his scheme has just miscarried. The kidnapped mendicant intended as his patsy has bolted in panic and been felled by his hench-robot, Hercules; under the heaviness of the latter's blow the victim has been "damaged beyond repair." An alternative plan is adopted, to secure a child they can rear and train. The robum Galahad observes that the absent Homer, another of their number, knows a child — "the Sanborn kid."

Homer, meanwhile, is beachcombing along the shore for shells he can sell for kerosene. As he passes the Sanborn home he is commissioned by the householder, Archie Sanborn, to buy him some gasoline for one of the antique cars he collects. Homer, replying as is his wont in poetry, agrees. Archie's young son Gordon wants to go with Homer but is denied permission. Back at the mansion, Napoleon sends out the robums to fetch a child. Two of them, Galahad and Confucius, meet Homer on his way back from the service station with Archie's gasoline. Learning what he carries, they cajole him to share it with them, and over time succeed. Soon all three robots are on a gasoline binge. While this is happening, Gordon runs away from home looking for Homer. He encounters Hercules, who promises to take the boy to his robot friend.

Back at the mansion Gordon is introduced to Napoleon, who attempts to recruit him to the cause. But Gordon only wants Homer, and his childish petulance quickly drives the robum boss to distraction. He calls for Hercules, only to find him drunk; Galahad, Confucius and Homer have returned with the gasoline, and Hercules has joined in the orgy. Homer is upset that the others have kidnapped Gordon. Then Sancho Panza, the robum on watch, reports the approach of policemen, no doubt in search of the child. Napoleon orders Gordon and the gasoline concealed. The robums feign cooperation with the search, and the police leave without finding anything.

Afterwards the gas is brought back out and the party continues apace. Homer, finding his poetry unappreciated, departs to join Napoleon in the library. After he leaves, a spontaneous gasoline explosion puts an end to the merriment, incapacitating Galahad, Confucius, Hercules and Sancho. Apprehending the danger, Napoleon orders Homer to get him out of the mansion, but Homer, remembering Gordon, abandons his boss and runs up to the attic to save the boy instead.

Shielding his friend from the blaze, Homer knocks out a window and leaps from the burning mansion. The blaze has attracted a crowd, including Gordon's parents, who take him from the robot's arms. Archie asks Homer what happened, but he, his vocal circuits damaged, can only spout a few lines of meaningless poetry before his remaining systems fail. The fire department has arrived, but realizing the mansion is a complete loss the firemen concentrate their attention on saving the neighboring residences.

Bennie and Claire, a down-on-their-luck couple, find a discarded Chitauri gun ("Item 47") left over from the attack on New York City in ''The Avengers''. The couple use it to rob a few banks, drawing the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D., which assigns agents Jasper Sitwell and Felix Blake to retrieve the weapon and "neutralize" the couple. Agent Sitwell tracks the couple down to a motel room that gets wrecked in the subsequent confrontation, and the stolen money gets destroyed. Instead of killing the couple, Sitwell invites them to join S.H.I.E.L.D., with Bennie assigned to the R&D 'think-tank' to reverse engineer the Chitauri technology, and Claire becoming Blake's assistant.

Colonel and Mrs. Blackwell hire Archer to investigate their prospective son-in-law, an artist named Burke Damis. Blackwell believes Damis is marrying their daughter Harriet only for her money. Archer takes the case, warning the Blackwells that they must be prepared to accept whatever information he uncovers, good or bad. Soon after beginning his investigation, he finds Blackwell threatening Damis with a gun. Damis and Harriet leave the house and vanish. From there, the search for the runaways takes Archer to San Francisco, Mexico, Nevada, and back to California, finding dead bodies linked to Damis along the way.

Archer repeatedly encounters a group of surfers driving around in a zebra striped hearse, which gives the book its title.

Conner Friel is a musical prodigy at an early age, and he forms a pop rap group dubbed "The Style Boyz" with his childhood friends Lawrence Dunn and Owen Bouchard. They almost instantly gain fame in the music industry and inspire many of today's musicians. However, after failing to receive credit for writing Conner's guest verse on the Poppy-winning single "Turn Up the Beef," Lawrence leaves.

After the Style Boyz disband, Conner becomes a solo act, taking on the name "Conner4Real", with Owen as his DJ. Lawrence begins farming in Colorado after a failed attempt at going solo. Conner's debut album ''Thriller, Also'' rockets to the top of the charts, and his fame increases. In 2015, Conner releases his sophomore album, ''Connquest'', which is heavily panned due to his writing every single song himself and using hundreds of different producers rather than Owen's original beats. With sales surprisingly low, Conner's manager Harry suggests having Aquaspin, a home appliance manufacturer, sponsor the tour. The company's appliances begin playing Conner's songs when in use, causing a nationwide power outage that generates a wave of backlash among Conner's fans.

Conner begins his album tour, but the shows do not sell as well as he had hoped. Harry suggests they hire hip-hop artist Hunter the Hungry as an opening act, and the ticket sales begin to rise. Conner adds new gimmicks to his act, including a robotic mask for Owen, publicizing his relationship with actress Ashley Wednesday, and a stage trick where he changes costumes in seconds behind a curtain, which only works when Conner hides his penis behind his legs. Still, the trick is seemingly botched in Nashville, when Conner is exposed naked (without his penis visible) mid-concert and becomes the subject of mockery.

Conner's publicist, Paula Klein, suggests he pull another publicity stunt to deflect attention from his humiliation. Conner decides to propose to Ashley on live TV, with a display including several trained wolves and a performance by Seal. Seal's vocals agitate the wolves, and they break loose, mauling the attendees. Seal fights off a wolf from experience, even saying his facial scar came from wolves. However, he, too, gets mauled seconds later. The backlash against Conner grows, and Ashley breaks up with him and starts dating Seal, who sues Conner for his injuries.

Worried about the declining quality of his friend's music, Owen sets up a meeting between himself, Conner, and Lawrence. The reunion ends poorly when Conner refuses to acknowledge that Lawrence wrote the track that launched his career. Despite Conner's poor reputation, ''The Tonight Show'' agrees to book him on an episode. Host Jimmy Fallon suddenly invites Conner to perform the Style Boyz's hit song "Donkey Roll" with Owen, which the crowd received well despite Conner's reluctance.

As the tour progresses, Hunter overshadows Conner, selling more records than him and dragging out his act before Conner's show. At a concert, Hunter announces that he will perform as long as possible, causing Conner to rush to the stage. A brawl ensues when Hunter quietly admits that he orchestrated Conner's wardrobe malfunction. Conner demands that Harry let Hunter go and fires Harry after discovering he has signed Hunter. ''Connquest'' is later knocked off the charts, and Aquaspin decides to pull their sponsorship. The remainder of the tour is canceled, and Owen decides to leave the team when Conner tests Owen and the entourage's loyalty by making them pancakes mixed with dog feces. After his beloved pet turtle Maximus dies, Conner sinks into a depression and moves back into his mother's house. He begins drinking heavily and starts selling crude horse drawings online.

Paula forces Conner to leave the house and takes him to a club featuring Owen. Owen's music and production are strong, though his singing is subpar. Conner and Owen reconcile and decide to finally make amends with Lawrence. Conner gives Lawrence his Poppy and apologizes, acknowledging Lawrence's contribution to his music. Conner and Owen discover that Lawrence owns a giant marijuana farm and a music studio in his farmhouse. As the three get high and collaborate in Lawrence's studio, Conner receives news from Paula that a six-minute slot has opened for Conner to perform at the Poppy Music Awards due to Taylor Swift being arrested for murder. With encouragement from his friends, he decides to reunite The Style Boyz.

At the Poppys, Hunter humiliates himself after arguing with Mariah Carey on stage, and Harry quits as Hunter's manager after being insulted by him. Conner reconciles with Harry and later finds out that the six-minute slot has been shortened to three, forcing him to perform either a Conner4Real song or a Style Boyz song. Conner decides to perform The Style Boyz's new song "Incredible Thoughts" featuring Michael Bolton. The film ends with Conner reflecting on his lessons and the value of holding onto relationships after reaching stardom. He introduces a new baby turtle named Maximus II before a wolf from Conner's disastrous proposal attacks him.

During the Cold War, a secret organization known as "Patriot" gathers a team of Soviet superheroes, altering and augmenting the DNA of many selected individuals to defend the motherland from superhuman threats. The team includes representatives of the different nationalities of the Soviet Union. Arseniy, codenamed Arsus, can change into a huge, incredibly strong bear-man. Temirkhan, codenamed Khan, has super speed and wields a pair of curved swords. Lernik, codenamed Ler, has the ability to control earth and stone. Finally, Xenia can become invisible underwater.

The program succeeds where a second program called Module-1 fails. This prompts Professor Avgust Kuratov (Stanislav Shirin), creator of Module-1, to flee to the remote wilderness, away from Soviet authorities, to continue working on his experiments. When the military is summoned to arrest him, he bombs the Patriot laboratory, surviving because he was covered with some chemicals. He rebuilds his damaged body, making himself into a cyborg. This gives him the power to generate electricity and control machines. He also created an army of clones of himself and sets out to prove to the world that he is a genius. After the explosion, Arsus, Ler, Khan, and Xenia go into hiding for years.

In the present day, several walking robots used in a training exercise turn against their supervising officials and kill them. This leads to the Ministry of Defence holding a meeting and deciding to revive the Patriot organization under the leadership of Major Elena Larina and to locate their missing super agents. She finds Ler spending his time meditating in Armenia; Khan living on the steppes of Kazakhstan; Arsus in a remote cabin in northern Siberia; and Xenia performing stunts in a circus in Moscow. Their first task is to raid Kuratov's laboratory within an old factory, but they are captured.

Kuratov offers the Guardians a chance to join him but they refuse. This angers him and he keeps three of them trapped within a magnetic force field and injures Ler. He later goes to a military facility at Noginsk to take control of the tanks and other vehicles stationed there. Using them, he launches an invasion of Moscow and makes preparations to use the Ostankino Tower and the Federation Tower for his Module-2 Project. He intends to transmit a signal through an old Soviet satellite, which will then be sent to every other satellite orbiting Earth, and use it to seize control of all technology in the world. He uses a force field to protect his beacon tower and destroy several jet fighters that are sent to stop him. When a collaborator within the Russian military, Major-General Nikolai Dolgov, asks Kuratov for a reward for his help, Kuratov strangles him to death.

Major Elena frees the other team members from Kuratov's laboratory. She sends Kuratov's former rival to study one of Kuratov's clones. Unfortunately, the real Kuratov releases poison gas to kill him. Arsus and the other Guardians are trained in the Patriots' facility and are given suits and weapons.

The Guardians go to Moscow: Xenia and Arsus advance through the streets, Ler defeats several soldiers patrolling an underground car park, and Khan uses an airplane to try to fly above Kuratov's force field. The three Guardians enter a shopping mall, and begin crossing an iron bar linking it to the tower-beacon, but are shot at by more of Kuratov's troops on another pipe. Khan jumps from the airplane swinging on a grapple line to slice the pipe, causing Kuratov's troops to fall.

While the other Guardians try to figure out a way to destroy the power source for Kuratov's beacon, Xenia grabs the power source to short circuit it. She is injured but manages to temporarily disable the beacon's transmissions, causing the force field to collapse. The Guardians battle Kuratov again on top of the tower but fail to defeat him. Khan uses his super-speed to tie all of the Guardians to a grappling rope and attach it to an airplane to escape. Kuratov interferes with the plane's controls, but Khan cuts the grappling rope, and they fall into a river before the plane crashes.

As they emerge from the river, they consider going back to Kuratov's beacon to destroy it and kill Kuratov, but Major Elena arrives and commands them not to. Telling them that as superhumans, they can pool their energy and release it as a blast, but doing so might be fatal. The Guardians touch each other and generate a blast of energy that destroys Kuratov's tower and the skyscrapers supporting it, causing Kuratov to fall to his death. Major Elena says that, while Kuratov boasted that he created the Guardians, they really created themselves.

The Guardians recover, rendezvousing with Major Elena in the rebuilt Moscow. Although they choose to go back to their normal lives, they also consider continuing their service to the Patriot organization. As they walk away, Elena tells them that "we found other Guardians." In a post-credits scene, Elena is seen attacking a soldier after his truck stops. When she questions the soldier, he tells her that "Ferrum" has sent him as part of an unspecified mission.

Set in modern Trinidad, ''Valmiki's Daughter'' is centered around the Krishnu family, which consists of Valmiki, Viveka, Vashti, and Devika. The husband, Valmiki, is a closeted gay doctor in an unaccepting environment. He learns about this part of his identity when, while attending school in England, he becomes involved in a relationship with an upper classmate named Tony. However, his guilt about his own sexuality persuades him to pursue a life of marrying Devika rather than staying with Tony whom he truly loves. However, despite his discomfort with his homosexuality, he still goes on hunting trips to liaise with his lover, Saul. After each trip, he brings birds back to his family as a gift. Throughout the book, Mootoo illustrates that Valmiki's relationship with his wife is much more platonic than his sexual relations with Saul. Valmiki is not willing to come out because he is a well-respected doctor amongst his peers, and it would be a humiliating experience that would cost him his reputation.

Valmiki's elder daughter, Viveka, is a closeted lesbian. She undergoes a similar high school experience as her dad, struggling with her own sexual orientation and identity. After seeing a fellow student named Merle Bedi was outcast from her family because of her sexuality, Viveka realizes how unaccepting the people around her are of her sexuality. In order to avoid ending up in a similar situation, Viveka deliberately makes decisions that will steer her in a different direction . This constant pressure prevents Viveka from ever becoming completely comfortable with her lesbian identity. Despite being homosexual himself, Valmiki is outwardly opposed to the idea of his daughters being lesbian. He feels very firmly that she should not have to go through the same struggle that he underwent as a child. This extreme caution leads him to deny her any participation in a women-only sports club for fear that she will develop lesbian tendencies. Both Valmiki and his wife Devika are more comfortable with the identity of their younger daughter Vashti. Unlike her older sister, Vashti conforms to most of the female gender stereotypes. Viveka sees her sister as an ongoing pressure to conform to cultural ideals.

In what seems to be a separate plot at the start, a French woman named Anick Prakash moves away from her parents in France to marry a Trinidadian man named Nayan. Her parents are quite unhappy with this decision due to their bias against Trinidadian culture and people. The disagreement causes tension in the family. After growing up in France, Anick has great difficulty adapting to the extreme cultural differences. The two plots then intertwine when Anick, while living in Trinidad, meets and quickly befriends Viveka. They bond over common experiences such tension with parents, and soon fall in love. Despite her affair with Viveka, Anick is still married to Nayan and becomes pregnant as a result. Feeling alienated and unable to adapt to Trinidadian culture, Anick proposes to Viveka that they run away together. To Anick's dismay, Viveka refuses because she cannot fully accept her identity as a lesbian. Falling into the same pattern as her father, Viveka succumbs to the social pressure and ends up marrying a man named Trevor. Much like Valmiki, she would rather lie about her sexual identity and marry a man, than have to come out as gay in front of a whole community simply to live with the woman she truly loves.

Due to each server's lack of an agreed canonical storyline, most if not all servers have individualized lores and backstories. Generally, ''Space Station 13'' takes place several centuries in the future on a research station owned by the megacorporation known as Nanotrasen. The station exists to research the mineral 'plasma' (or 'phoron' on some servers), which is very valuable, possibly due to its extreme flammability. Nanotrasen's influence and power have effectively made them a government entity, but is often left ambiguous as to whether they are good, evil or a neutral party (depending on the server).

Due to Nanotrasen's immense stature and massive monopoly on plasma, it is targeted by an array of third-party aggressors. This includes, but is not limited to: the Syndicate (a coalition of smaller companies and planetary governments), the Space Wizard Federation (a federal group of thaumaturgical aggressors), and Changelings (an extraterrestrial species with the ability to take on the form of any organic life-form they've absorbed, as seen in The Thing).

''The Jazz Man'' is the story of a nine-year-old boy named Zeke, who lives with his parents on the top floor of a brownstone in Harlem. The story begins with Zeke remembering an old home he used to live in down South. He later explains how the five flights of stairs he usually walked up to get home made his "legs ache beat hot and fast when he first came to live there." Over time, he got used to the stairs, but the stairs still troubled his mother. At night, when she returned from work, he would often hear her struggling to climb up the long flights of stairs.

One of Zeke's legs is shorter than the other, and "the kids downstairs stared at his lame foot and made him feel hot and different." Because of this, Zeke skipped school most of the time and remained in his apartment staring at windows across the courtyard. He becomes intrigued by an apartment with a window that is always closed. He watches this window for a while, contemplating who might be moving into the apartment. Eventually, a man with a piano moves in. Zeke calls him the Jazz Man. The Jazz Man plays all day and night.

Zeke enjoys the music with his family. The Jazz Man's music helps Zeke's mother forget her tiredness and her inability to pay the rent. It also helps Zeke's father forget about his unemployment. Zeke watches as the Jazz Man jams with his friends, who play the saxophone, drums, and trumpet.

As summer ends, Zeke's mother starts to get more and more irritated by the stairs. She argues with Zeke's father because of his recurrent unemployment. That night, Zeke's mother crys while reading him a bedtime story.

The next morning Zeke's mother leaves and doesn't return, forcing Zeke and his father to learn how to survive on their own. Soon, Zeke's father begins neglecting his duties at home and at times stays out for many days without leaving Zeke any food. Zeke becomes quieter and skinnier. He tells his neighbors that his mother left to visit her rich aunt, but everyone, including Zeke, knows that this is a lie.

After a while, Zeke realizes he hasn't heard from the Jazz Man for some time and looks across the courtyard, only to see that he has left the apartment. Zeke leaves his building one morning and walks across the street. He finds the Jazz Man playing with his friends at a large party. Confused, Zeke pinches himself and wakes up to his father's voice. Zeke is with his mother and father listening to the Jazz Man from their window. Zeke realizes that he has been dreaming the entire time.

The novel ''The Great Fire'' is about the great fire that happened in Chicago. The huge fire started in the O'Learys' barnyard and lasted for thirty hours. Daniel "Pegleg" Sullivan was the first to notice the fire and ran to save the cows in the barn and to tell the O'Learys that their property was on fire. William Lee, a neighbor of the O'Learys, hurried to the drugstore to turn in a fire alarm, but Bruno Goll, the owner of the drugstore, didn't allow him because all the fire trucks had left. Lee went back to his house to get his baby and wife out. Goll claimed that he turned in the alarm after Lee left the drugstore, but no alarm was recorded at the central alarm office.

The fire started to spread to other parts of the neighborhood and destroyed everything in its path. After several minutes, the fire trucks were sent to box 242, which was almost a mile away from the barn where the fire had started. After that, the fire trucks were sent again to the wrong location and the fire continued to spread. The fire advanced from the O'Learys' barn towards Jefferson Street before the firefighters finally showed up to the right location of the fire. They were exhausted from multiple fires over the past week and didn't have enough energy to stop the fire from spreading to other parts of the city. The residents of the area took whatever valuables they could from their houses and ran away from the fire.

Dorsey, a fireman, ran to the drugstore and pulled the lever to sound the fire alarm, but no one responded and the fire continued to grow with the power of the wind. It burned more houses and injured many firefighters. The fire was now headed towards north and east Chicago. The fire grew so big that the trucks weren't able to extinguish it. They had to leave the burned area in order to protect the other areas of the city. The people were all running away in different directions.

Claire, whose house was burned down, lost her family and ran into a dead end. She was trapped between the fire and the houses. She ran to the tallest house, jumped to the other side of the street, and kept running towards the south side of the city. To prevent the fire from moving towards the south side of the city, the firefighters blew up the houses and helped the residents of that area flee towards Lincoln Park, where they spent the night.

As the fire kept moving towards other parts of the city, it started to rain, which gave the people of the city hope. By morning the fire that devastated the city was no more. It had completely destroyed many parts of the city, caused 100,000 to become homeless, and killed about 300 people, with many reported missing.

After the fire, the people of Chicago began to rebuild the city and received aid from other states. The United States Army put up tents for the people that lost their houses.

Later, the residents of the city accused the O'Learys of starting the fire, which caused them to have to sell their property and leave Chicago because of fear that they might be killed by the angry citizens of Chicago.

Before the great fire that devastated it, Chicago was known as the Queen City of the West and the Gem of the Prairie. Now, it was nothing but dust.
