The subject portrays an extraordinary story and a fascinating itinerary of survival through unusual episodes in the progress of culture. When, at the turn of the eighteenth century, the Roman clergyman, Fortunato Santini, played by Italian actor Renato Scarpa, discovers at the age of twenty his fervent passion for music, he decides to dedicate the rest of his life to collecting the manuscript scores of the great composers, either autographs in their own hand or scores written out by professional copyists. These manuscripts kept and preserved the heritage of musical works until their reproduction and publication as printed scores. Over the course of fifty years his music collection swelled to 20,000 titles in 4,500 manuscripts and 1,200 printed copies, making it the most comprehensive collection of its kind anywhere. Santini's secret in preserving all these important works from the history of European music is the elaborate network of friends and acquaintances that he builds. Beginning in the libraries and among the ''cognoscenti'' of Italy, its reach extends throughout Europe, stretching from Rome to Vienna, from Paris to London, from Berlin to Moscow. Through his networking skills during his lifetime Santini became an international celebrity in the world of music Compositions of the first importance in music history, otherwise at risk of disappearing into oblivion, were rescued and preserved through his unremitting efforts.

The film deals not only with the inception and growth of Santini's precious collection, but also with its conservation after his death. In 1862 the collection was purchased and transported from Italy to the city of Münster in Germany and lay there forgotten for 40 years. Then in 1902 this trove was rediscovered and brought to the attention of the public through by the work of Edward Dent, the distinguished British musicologist. Subsequently, the collection was saved from firebombs during World War II , and though partially damaged after the war by a devastating flood, the irreplaceable musical opus of Santini has survived.

'''Opening quote:''' "History is the nightmare from which I am trying to awake."

In Leipzig, Monroe's uncle Felix Dietrich (Rick Overton) is asked by Andrea Stroh to appraise books from the estate of Joseph Nebojsa. Two Anubis Wesen from Black Claw kill Andrea, and Felix flees to Portland with one of the books – written by and for Grimms – to show Nick (David Giuntoli), asking $100,000 for the collection. Nick is desperate to replace the books lost when Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) burnt his Aunt Marie's trailer, but doesn't have the money. The two Anubis Wesen arrive in Portland and kill Felix in his hotel room, where Nick and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) find a shipping slip which they follow to the killers; in a fit of rage, Monroe tears out their throats. Nick and Monroe find Felix's trunk and take it to the spice shop. In addition to detailed catalogs of Wesen, the books contain Grimm family trees, including Nick's ancestry. Monroe finds a secret compartment and, using his watchmaker skills, unlocks it. It contains three keys, and using these with the two keys Nick already had, they stamp together the five pieces of the Map of the Seven Knights, ancestors of the Grimm. It leads to a spot in the Schwarzwald (The Black Forest, Germany).

'''Opening quote:''' "And glory like the phoenix midst her fires, Exhales her odours, blazes, and expires."

Two young employees stay late at Harrison's Outfitters, when Damien Barso (Gideon Emery) uses a key to enter the building. He generates fire from his body and sets fire to the building. The two employees are trapped in the office and when they discover the fire, it is too late to escape.

Nick, Hank and Wu are called in to investigate the deaths of the young folk. They meet John Harrison (John Murray), the owner of the store, and his son Andy (Hank Harris), whom John is grooming to take over the business, which has been in the family for three generations.

Lt. Willis (Jessica Caesar), the arson investigator, draws their attention to the weird nature of the fire. It seemed to start with the breaker box, but instead of following the ventilation system, seemed to walk through the building, turning corners. The only time it behaved like a normal fire was when the young employees broke the window of the office in an attempt to escape, providing oxygen to the flames, which crisped them.

Suspecting wesen involvement, Nick tasks Wu with looking for similar cases. He finds several and learns that they were being investigated by Bauerschwein arson investigator Lt. Peter Orson (Daniel Roebuck), whom Nick had put behind bars for murder in Season 1's fifth episode (The Three Bad Wolves). Visiting Orson in prison, Nick and Hank learn that Orson had actually seen the arsonist, but did not know his name. Orson convinces them to let him out (with tracking ankle bracelet) to help them.

Adalind (Claire Coffee) is keen to visit Nick and Juliette to get her daughter back, but Prince Viktor (Alexis Denisof) counsels diplomacy. To illustrate his point, he introduces Adalind to Sam Damerov (Kenajuan Bentley), with whom Sean Reynard (Sasha Roiz) has entrusted the information that he has on Kelly Burkhardt's (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) whereabouts. Damerov reports the information to Viktor.

Learning that the Harrison's business was facing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Nick and Hank visit Charles Laney (Allen Galli), the Harrison's lawyer. After they have gone, Laney alerts Barso, telling him that the deaths of the young people has elevated the intensity of the investigation. He and Barso meet in Laney's car. Laney advises Barso to kill his client so that he cannot be identified. Barso responds by setting fire to Laney and steps out of the car, which explodes soon after.

They learn that he is an excandesco through the trailer library, but the Grimm who wrote of an excandesco's role in the burning of Rome during Nero's reign was unsuccessful in his attempt to kill the excandesco responsible due to the extreme heat.

Nick, Hank and Orson visit Rosalee (Bree Turner) and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) in the spice shop in the hope of finding a way to stop Barson. Monroe is enraged by their bringing Orson with them, as Orson had killed his friend. Rosalee gets Monroe to settle down, and he ultimately agrees to help. They decide that an ointment might be a way of stopping Barson. Rosalee and Monroe set about making it in sufficient quantity.

With Orson's help, Nick and Hank identify Barson and set about tracking him. In the meantime, we learn that Barso's last client was Andy Harrison, who does not want to take over a failing business from his father. Barso lures John Harrison to the burned store, pretending to be an arson investigator with news. When John Harrison turns up, he captures him and uses him as bait to get Andy to the store.

Nick, Hank and Orson, on finding Laney's body, have decided that Barso is killing the people who can identify him. Rosalee and Monroe have settled on large water guns as a means of delivering the ointment.

Nick and Hank go to the Harrison house, thinking that John Harrison hired Barso and is therefore at risk, but they find Andy Harrison leaving to go to the store. He confesses that it was he, not his father, who engaged Barso and that it is he whom Barso wants to kill.

Nick, Hank, Orson, Monroe and Rosalee, with Andy Harrison, converge on the store with the ointment-filled water guns. Orson volunteers to be bait to draw Barso away from John Harrison, whom Nick and Hank free. Then Barso, chasing Orson, exits the store to find himself surrounded. Unaware of the efficacy of their water guns, he woges to kill them, and they squirt the ointment over him, sealing him inside his own fire. He explodes.

While this is happening, Adalind turns up at Nick and Juliette's house, and confronts Juliette. Juliette tells her to leave, but Adalind woges into her hexenbiest form. Juliette responds in kind, and the ensuing battle severely damages the furniture. Fearing for her life, Adalind flees and breaks down in her car. Nick comes home to find the mess and Juliette finally has the courage to show him that she is now a hexenbiest.

'''Opening quote:''' "No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man."

After Nick (David Giuntoli) finds out that Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) has become a Hexenbiest, he visits Henrietta (Garcelle Beauvais), who says there is no cure and that Nick must either kill Juliette or accept her new status. He cannot cope with the change though, leading Juliette to leave. Meanwhile, Nick, Hank (Russell Hornsby), and Wu (Reggie Lee) investigate the murder of a teenager named Peter whose foot was cut off by Leporem Venator as Vulpesmyrca (Black Fox like Wesen). They discover the victim was a Willahara (rabbit like wesen), whose foot was cut off as he woged so it could be used by a couple to improve their fertility. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) go undercover to a Wesen fertility clinic to find the killer. Adalind (Claire Coffee) meets Renard (Sasha Roiz), who says he knows of Juliette's change and that he sent her to Henrietta to learn more. Adalind pays Henrietta a visit to understand the extent of Juliette's powers, but instead learns that she is pregnant with Nick's child.

'''Opening quote:''' "One could have called that shape a woman or a boy: for it seemed neither and seemed both."

Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate a crime scene in the middle of a bizarre love triangle involved a flatworm like wesen called huntha lami muuaji. Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) seeks Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee's (Bree Turner) help to stop phantom bleeding when he was shot by Weston Steward. Adalind (Claire Coffee) asks for a favor that could change the course of Juliette's (Bitsie Tulloch) relationship with Nick. Juliette faces a tough decision about her future with Nick.

'''Opening quote:''' "How the silly frog does talk! He can be no companion to any human being!"

Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate the homicide of a cyclist named Zack found dead by a seemingly severe allergic reaction; they then meet an acquaintance of his, a 'Folterseele' (a golden/poison dart frog like wesen) named Bella Turner (Leah Renee) (inspired by the tale of The Frog Prince). According to Rosalee, Folterseele are a classically tragic - "always beautiful, always deadly" - type wesen, which are thankfully very rare as their skin secretes a highly poisonous deadly toxin poisonous touch which can kill, through no fault or intention of their own, with merely a single touch. They're also difficult to detect as they woge like no other Wesen, precipitated rather by sexual tension than emotion, usually via unwanted sexual advances. So, with help/advice from Rosalee & Monroe, Nick & Hank attempt to find a better solution rather than merely just locking her up.

When a new member of the Royal family shows up in Portland, Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) and Adalind (Claire Coffee) realize the Royal family have stepped up their efforts to find Diana. This new Royal, Kenneth, is certainly not one to be trifled with. When Adalind attempts to pass off her second pregnancy as of royal conception, soon realises Kenneth is not one so easily fooled. Renard's undercover double-agent Sam, on passing on unsatisfactory info, is also quickly thwarted and killed.

A volatile Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch), conflicted by her new Hexenbiest state, threatens Renard that he best find a solution as she wants her life back. When she finally returns home, regardless of Nick's pleading to the contrary, she informs him she's moving out; seemingly still holding Nick partly responsible for her unwanted predicament. Later she ponders whether to embrace her new self or attempt to get rid of it.

Bella Turner is attacked at her work place by another man from the cycling group. He also dies from her poison. She goes to her mother's house and hides in the barn. Her mother finds her and tries to comfort her. Inside the house her grandmother is heating up a branding iron. The mother and grandmother fight over the branding iron. The grandmother knocks the mother out. Nick and Hank arrive just in time to save Bella from having her face burned by her grandmother. They take Bella to the spice shop and offer her their cure for her toxin warning her that they don't know if it will work or what side effects it will have. She says it is better than never being able to touch someone who loves you, and drinks the potion.

When Renard finally meets Kenneth he finds he's more than met his match. He forcefully informs Renard he's been tasked with finding his daughter, then threatens Renard that if he doesn't join forces he'll end up like his late friend Damerov - and the King minus another son.

The episode ends "''3 weeks later… at a nice restaurant somewhere in The Pearl.''" At a table, two people we can't really see are on their first date. The man talks about how nervous he is. The camera pans up to reveal Bella with green bumpy skin. She asks if he's sure he isn't bothered by the way she looks. Then we see that her date has facial tattoos and piercings, he replies: "I think you're a knockout!"...

'''Opening quote:''' "He had killed man, the noblest game of all, and he had killed in the face of the law of club and fang."

Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate a homicide and they learn it's connected to an age-old Wesen rite of passage. Meanwhile, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) meets a surprising ally. Captain Sean Renard (Sasha Roiz) battles the darkness within and Nick finds hope for Juliette in the last person he expected: Adalind (Claire Coffee).

'''Opening quote:''' "Catch me when you can..."

A string of homicides has the press asking Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) if a Jack the Ripper copycat has arrived in Portland. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) traces the mode of operation of the homicides to the Luxembourg Peasants' Revolt. While dealing with the investigation, Nick (David Giuntoli), Hank (Russell Hornsby), Monroe and Wu (Reggie Lee) deal with a situation they never expected. Meanwhile, Adalind (Claire Coffee) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) must work together on a last-ditch attempt to fix Juliette's (Bitsie Tulloch) condition. Elsewhere, Juliette decides to help her new ally even if it means hurting those around her.

'''Opening quote:''' "Stronger than lover's love is lover's hate. Incurable, in each the wounds they make."

Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate a grisly murder get closer to uncover the identity of the vicious serial killer while Wu's (Reggie Lee) life is in grave danger. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) try to help Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) to heal him from his visions and bleeding. Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) solidifies a new alliance as she works to get revenge which gets Nick's mother killed. Elsewhere, Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) is back in Portland from Philadelphia to surprise them.

'''Opening quote:''' "O, from this time forth, my thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth."

Nick (David Giuntoli) is still in shock after discovering his mother's head in a box. Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) realize that there are many Wesen surrounding the house and they escape the house when Kenneth (Nico Evers-Swindell) and Rispoli (Philip Anthony-Rodriguez) send Verrat agents.

Renard (Sasha Roiz) is given a drink by Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) to heal himself after his possession. Nick, Hank and Trubel arrive at Bud's (Danny Bruno) house for Adalind (Claire Coffee) to get information about the Royals. They have her act as if she found the head of the Hundjäger Trubel killed earlier in her hotel room, so they can send-out an APB on those names. Using the information, Nick finds that his mother received an e-mail from his computer and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) was the only other person to know about it. The police eventually arrest Kenneth for Kelly Burkhardt's murder.

Wu (Reggie Lee) takes Kenneth to an abandoned warehouse and drives away. Kenneth gets up off the floor and looks around into a vast empty space until Nick slowly emerges from the shadows and confronts him. They fight until Kenneth confesses that Juliette is with the Royals and that the King has kidnapped Diana. In the end, Nick kills Kenneth.

Wu manages to find Juliette's secret address and Nick goes after her, telling everyone that in case of finding her, they need to kill her. Nick, Hank, Monroe, Wu and Trubel go to the compound to stop the King and Juliette from leaving Portland with Diana. They kill many Hundjäger guards. Rispoli dies falling from the third floor of the spiral staircase. Nick sees Juliette and the King bolt with Diana toward a waiting helicopter. Later, Meisner (Damien Puckler) is revealed to be the helicopter co-pilot when he throws the King out to his death. Diana remembers Meisner attending her birth and they smile at one another.

Hank and Renard arrived at the warehouse. We see them manipulating the scene at Kenneth's body to make it look like he was Jack the Ripper.

Nick arrives home to find Juliette. Enraged and wounded by the role she played in his mother's murder, he chokes her as she demands: "do it, kill me" but he relents. They then fight fiercely, until Nick is defeated by Juliette, who is ready to kill him. An instant before she does, however, Trubel bursts in and shoots Juliette with a crossbow, piercing her heart and killing her. Nick weeps, holding Juliette in his arms.

Meanwhile, outside the house, cars begin to appear and agents begin to surround the house. Chavez (Elizabeth Rodriguez) is revealed to be the leader of the group, telling them to "Get her."

'''Opening quote:''' "Ah! It was colder than ice; it penetrated to his very heart."

Nick (David Giuntoli), Hank (Russell Hornsby), and Wu (Reggie Lee) are called to investigate a rare Wesen that leaves its victims dead from extreme hypothermia, frozen solid within just a matter of minutes. According to Rosalee they're called Varme Tyv (Norwegian for 'Heat Thief') - a Blue Racer (Coluber constrictor foxii) snake-like Wesen, which if/when away from their hibernacula during winter, can't survive without taking body heat from someone else. Since they lack the ability to create their own body heat, they too would freeze to death otherwise. Other sources of heat (such as fire or somesuch) would be useless for survival since their physiology can only process human body heat. If safely overwintered in their hibernacula, where they usually huddle for heat with their own kind, they're otherwise harmless, especially during summer or warm weather. Nick & co', after consequently finding further victims (three in all), they attempt to ascertain if they're after just one or more culprits. When they finally run down the main suspect to his hibernaculum, on attempting to disentangle him from the others, they inadvertently wake up the whole cluster of Varma Tyv, who had all been hibernating in a tangled, huddled heap in the centre of the heated underground cellar room. Startled out of hibernation, they defend themselves by attacking the intruding trio. Massively outnumbered, the trio attempt to flee back up and out. Just as they're about to be overpowered by the charging hoard, the now exposed and therefore increasingly incapacitated by the cold bunch, thankfully start to freeze before they can inflict much harm. Nick is however overcome with guilt, since according to their investigation only one of them was ever guilty of murder, Nick's unable to let the rest die when innocent of any crime. Nick decides they need to carry them all back inside, back into cozy hibernation, before they freeze to death. The guilty murderous one, however, is left to suffer the same fate he'd previously meted out to his victims.

Meanwhile, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) starts to feel that she is losing her humanity and attempts to seek help from Rosalee & Monroe. Angered by the fact that Nick had already disclosed her 'secret-Hexenbiest-state' to Hank, she fiercely woges, shocking them all, then leaves in a huff. Instead now intent on seeking revenge against Adalind (Claire Coffee). She pursuits Adalind when she's out shopping and overcome with vengeful emotions, telekinetically attempts to dislodge a large stone gargoyle off the side of a building onto her head, in the hopes she's crushed beneath. Adalind's alert 'bodyguard/jailer' saves her just in the nick of time, but not before Adalind is able to get a glimpse of Juliette reflected in the window before her. Now aware Juliette means to kill her and fearing for her life, she later begs new Royal Kenneth to avenge her before Juliette is able to strike again. Kenneth refuses, insisting they can instead use the situation to their advantage. Elsewhere, Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) continues to suffer from mysterious bleeding and disturbing visions - where large disembodied black-taloned, red daemon-like claws, clutch at him; leaving him shaken and confused as he collapses. While elsewhere, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) works toward coming to grips with the Wesenrein incident which still invades his mind and left him with somewhat PTSD-like symptoms and hand tremors which are foiling his much loved clock restoring endeavours. Ever sensitive Rosalee, first probes then comforts him, ensuring him their "clocks have been reset", so not to fear as they've yet much time left to continue enjoying their lives.

As Nick returns to a dark and now empty-without-Juliette home, sad and lost in thought, he's suddenly overcome with visions of his aunt. He recalls words once told him that now seem far more prophetically charged : "''The misfortune of our family is already passing on to you. I know you love Juliette, but you must end it and never see Juliette again.''" ...

'''Opening quote:''' "The Spirit you seek in the water is only a reflection of yourself."

Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) newest investigation is on a homicide in the dark and mysterious path of a local Native American "vision quest" involved mishipeshu (underwater Panther). Juliette's (Bitsie Tulloch) errant behavior lands her in trouble with the wrong side of the law. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) are on mission with Captain Renard's (Sasha Roiz) assistance. Hank falls prey to a Native American's spirit with yellow eyes.

'''Opening quote:''' "It is not down in any map; true places never are."

Nick (David Giuntoli) , Hank (Russell Hornsby), Wu (Reggie Lee), Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), Rosalee (Bree Turner), and Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) continue to search for clues in the Map of the Seven Knights. Nick has a flashback of his mother, Kelly, telling him about the legendary seven keys belonging to seven knights, ancestors to all Grimm. The knights fought for seven royal families in the Fourth Crusade. The seven keys together made a map showing where the knights hid the wealth they took from Constantinople when it was sacked and burnt. Nick believes the treasure could be found. Trubel thinks they may have buried it in seven churches. Nick and Monroe travel to Germany on counterfeit passports, using Frederick Calvert (Rosalee's late brother) and Felix Dietrich as aliases, to avoid detection from the Black Claw. They travel to the church locations marked on the map, but find little that is old enough to be a possible location, and local Wesen become suspicious of their questions. Nick and Monroe travel at night to a spot in the forest near the site of the German Peasants' War, where they believe an ancient church may have stood. They discover chisel marks on old stones and end up falling into an old cavern.

'''Opening quote:''' "Give a man a mask and he will show his true face."

Benito (Danny Mora) is a Wesen called Vibora Dorada (a version of Xipe Totec adapted by Santeria priests) who owns Benito's Masks; some of his masks are endowed with special powers. Goyo (Joseph Julian Soria), an ambitious professional wrestler, asks for a mask to help him win. Benito tries to dissuade Goyo, but Goyo convinces him he can handle it. Benito heads out that night and attacks a Wesen called Balam, biting the victim's neck which paralyzes the Balam so he stays woged. Benito then surgically removes the skin of the Wesen's face to make this special ''luchador'' mask. Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate when the body is discovered. Benito warns Goyo to only wear the mask in the ring, but Goyo cannot resist the power and wears it in his apartment and on the street. He encounters one of his opponents in an alley and, unable to control himself, kills him.

Nick and Hank visit the scene of the killing and gain leads indicating Goyo and Benito's involvement. Meanwhile, Goyo seeks Benito's help to get the now-unremoveable mask off. Nick, Hank, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), and Rosalee (Bree Turner) enter Benito's Masks to find Benito dead and Goyo dying. Rosalee, chanting in Spanish, performs the ''ceremonia de desgracias'' (misfortune ceremony).

Wu wakes up and can't remember what happened at first, he then remembers that he went to confront Theo Delano and that Theo attacked him. Nick tells him Theo is dead and they all go back to the crime scene. They investigate the truck Theo had been in and find a piece of paper with Wu's address on. Nick takes Wu to the spice shop while Hank gets a call from Zuri, who is then revealed to be working with Black Claw. At the spice shop Rosalee makes a drink that will help Wu remember what happened after Theo attacked him, and as he is recounting what happened he transforms again. Rosalee figures out that it might have been caused by the scratch he received when fighting the lycanthrope in a previous episode and that because he's not wesen it's affecting him differently. Wu wakes up and Rosalee explains this to him and that it's triggered by a fight or flight response and that he needs to try and stay calm while they look into it.

Trubel calls and tells them that Theo worked for Black Claw. While she's calling Nick, Eve walks in and says she needs to speak to him. Eve tells him that something's happening with Adalind and they need to go find her straight away. Nick returns to the loft and finds a note from Adalind saying that she's gone, and that she loves him.

'''Opening quote:''' "What's past is prologue."

Nick (David Giuntoli) and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) fall into the catacombs of an ancient church in the Black Forest in Germany, where they find a small brass chest. As they emerge from the catacombs, they are discovered by the local Wesen and narrowly escape, though Monroe is bitten. Meanwhile, Portland mayoral candidate Andrew Dixon is killed by Marwan, a Black Claw assassin. While visiting the spice shop Adalind (Claire Coffee) is threatened by Rosalee's (Bree Turner) ex, Tony, causing her Hexenbiest powers to return. Tipped by Black Claw to the whereabouts of the Marwan, Renard (Sasha Roiz) tracks him and kills him during a fight. Unbeknownst to Renard, this foils the Hadrian's Wall plan to use the Marwan for information. Later, Renard is confronted with a Black Claw plan to become the new mayoral candidate, and is tempted by this position of power.

Nick and Monroe arrive at the spice shop and open the chest with Rosalee, Hank (Russell Hornsby), and Wu (Reggie Lee) present, finding an old shard of wood wrapped in a cloth. While debating its nature, Monroe begins to get sicker from the now-infected wound on his arm. Still holding the shard, Nick tries to help a stumbling Monroe, and the group is astonished when the wound on Monroe's arm fades; they deduce that the shard has healing powers.

'''Opening quote:''' "The world is full of obvious things which nobody by chance ever observes."

On the first night of the full moon, a young successful entrepreneur is driving on a deserted woodland road to go and visit his mother. His tire blows out and causes him to lose complete control of his car, and the car ends up ramming into a tree. He abandons his car and notices the sun is setting and he begins to run the last three miles. The next day, Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby), respond to a call about an injured man up on the road. As soon as they meet the man, Nick and Hank sense something is wrong, so they decide to get help from Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) (and his extraordinary Blutbad sense of smell). Upon returning to the scene with Monroe, they find two hikers who have been brutally attacked by what looks like a Blutbad. In the course of their investigation, Monroe and Rosalee (Bree Turner) mention a disease, Lycanthropia, that turns a Blutbad into an uncontrollable beast every full moon.

Nick, Hank and Wu (Reggie Lee) suspect the young entrepreneur had something to do with it, and hold him at the station to see whether he woges or not. But it quickly becomes clear, however, that the Lycanthrope happens to be his mother, not him. They race up to her house and confront her, and try to sedate her in her Wesen form. She is accidentally killed, but not before she scratches Wu on his left leg. Meanwhile, Adalind (Claire Coffee) is offered an opportunity to reunite with her daughter, Diana. Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) discovers that Black Claw is actively trying to recruit Renard (Sasha Roiz).

'''Opening quote:''' "Foretold our fate; but, by the god's decree, all heard, and none believed the prophecy."

Renard (Sasha Roiz) is shocked to find Meisner (Damien Puckler) in his house and touches him in order to find if he's real. He's called by Grossante (Chris McKenna), who's angry for the incident at the conference. When he hangs up, he finds Meisner gone. Back in the spice shop, Adalind (Claire Coffee) tells Diana (Hannah R. Lloyd) that they will move with Nick (David Giuntoli) for a while. Diana then checks on Rosalee (Bree Turner) and discovers that she's pregnant with more than one baby.

Nick and Adalind return to loft and Adalind tells him they need to keep Diana safe because her powers are still unknown. Nick tells Adalind that he was going crazy without her, not knowing Juliette was eavesdropping in the tunnels and overhears them. Juliette nearly wogues but then remembers the place where Nick had hidden the magic stick. She puts it back but now sees her hand is marked by one of the symbols she saw during her death grip.

After being reinstated, and watching the Captain fight his own imagination of Meisner's ghost in his office, Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby), investigate the kidnapping of a baby boy, the mother describes monster as taking their baby. Juliette finds the magic stick but it repels her and she has flashbacks of the night when Nick used the stick to heal her.

Nick, Roaslee and Monroe discover the Wesen responsible for kidnapping the child, it turns out to be a Cuegle type. It claims he has visions of the babies' futures, and only eats those who will grow up to do truly terrible things. The Cuegle is eventually shot after he escapes from the precinct and tries to kidnap the baby again, saying he saw the boy kill his parents in the future. Rosalee and Monroe discuss the possibility of leaving Portland to raise their babies due to the fact that it hasn't been the safest place for them.

Renard spends time with Diana asking how Bonaparte was killed, she tells him that he killed Bonaparte. Renard ask Diana what she would do if Nick ever hurt Adalind and Diana replied saying Nick would be very sorry.

'''Opening quote:''' "When something itches my dear sir, the natural tendency is to scratch."

A murder and the discovery of a body in a park lead Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) to an insect Wesen that emerges from the Earth every seven years for 24 hours. During that time, he has to capture a victim to drag underground to eat for the next seven years. Back in the loft, Adalind (Claire Coffee), thanks to Diana (Hannah R. Lloyd), finds an injured Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) in the tunnels, where she has painted the wooden shard's cloth symbols in the walls during a trance. She also apologizes for how Adalind hurt Juliette. Meanwhile, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) learn they're expecting triplets and Renard (Sasha Roiz) tries to discover if Meisner (Damien Puckler) is a ghost or an hallucination.

'''Opening quote:''' "Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would be to have never been born at all."

A violent murder puts Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) on the tail of an alp, a Wesen that eats dreams and seems to be using a cheap hotel as hunting ground. Meanwhile, Eve (Bitsie Tulloch), Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) try to decipher the symbols on the cloth that covered the wooden shard, discovering it is an astronomical map that points to a future date; some of the symbols suggest the seven stars of a cluster of stars known as Pleiades.

Meisner's (Damien Puckler) ghost warns Renard (Sasha Roiz) of an ambush by the Black Claw and Renard dispatches them.

'''Opening quote:''' "Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind."

Rosalee (Bree Turner) surprises Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) with a getaway for his birthday and invites most of the gang to join them. Things take a shocking turn when a hotel employee targets Nick (David Giuntoli) in an effort to avenge his father. Using some body fluids, he makes all of them, except Rosalee due to her pregnancy, fall in love randomly with each other, so they will fight each other to death. The spell breaks when he's killed. Meanwhile, Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) gets a visit from a dark force that she has seen before. Elsewhere, Capt. Renard (Sasha Roiz) spends the weekend with Diana (Hannah R. Lloyd) when a former ally, Lt. Grossante (Chris L. McKenna), decides to get even by kidnapping her. But he's unaware of her powers, and she gives him a painful lesson.

'''Opening quote:''' "No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness."

Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) decides to stay at the spice shop, but she's once again attacked from the other side of a mirror, and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) find her unconscious in the morning. While Nick (David Giuntoli) sits at her bedside in the hospital, Hank (Russell Hornsby) and Wu (Reggie Lee) investigate the killings of several scientists, that leads them to uncover a Frankenstein-type experiment involving Wesen body parts to revive a scientist's son. Meanwhile, Renard (Sasha Roiz) tries to decipher the tunnel symbols that Diana drew, and his contact tells him part of it is some kind of prophecy.

'''Opening quote:''' "In the morning, glad I see my foe outstretched beneath the tree."

After learning about Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) and Nick's (David Giuntoli) experiences with the mirror, all the group decides to use a buddy system when looking into a mirror, to prevent anyone from being taken. Nick, Hank (Russell Hornsby) and Wu (Reggie Lee) investigate the case of a poacher who claims that his friend was killed by a tree-like monster, and they soon find more unexplained disappearances in the same forest. When they find a tree with human faces, they deduce it's the joint work of two creatures, a kenoshimobi and a jubokko. With Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee's (Bree Turner) help, they set up a trap, and are apparently successful in stopping them.

'''Opening quote:''' "Hell is empty and all the devils are here."

Nick (David Giuntoli) arrives at the loft and talks with Adalind (Claire Coffee) about Renard's (Sasha Roiz) knowledge of Diana's (Hannah R. Loyd) danger. Adalind tells him that Diana is responsible for possessing Renard and killing Bonaparte and Rachel and they need to tell Renard about the tunnels.

Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) return home and find the Hexenbiest book, marks on the mirror and Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) gone. They call Nick to help them find Eve, deducing she crossed the mirror and just then, the book magically locks itself and only Adalind can open it. Meanwhile, Eve wakes up in the other place which is a snowy land with no return to the mirror but discovers the same symbols. She wanders around and finds a man being chased by three Wesen, who kill him but two of them kill the other Wesen. Nick and Adalind arrive at Monroe's house with Diana and decide to use the stick as a way to enter. Nick enters using the stick but the stick remains behind as "it doesn't belong there".

Nick enters the mirror to find that the land is a resemblance to the Schwarzwald (Black Forest). He is attacked by a Blutbad who he kills him with his gun. He finds Eve and then run from a group of Blutbaden. They finally reach a fort of humans, who eventually let them inside when they kill the Wesen but one of them flees. Nick and Eve show them the drawing of the skull creature, which the humans identity as "Zerstörer". The fleeing Blutbad is then confronted by Zerstörer. Meanwhile, Renard is called to help in finding more about the symbols in the cloth. He contacts Dasha (Alla Korot), who explains that the real world and the other place are different dimensions and that the place could be the afterlife. She then talks privately with Renard to explain that Diana may be the "Shaphat", and Zerstörer could also be known as the Devil. There have been prophecies of the arrival of Zerstörer and will make the Shaphat his bride and have a hundred children with her.

After leaving the humans, Nick and Eve return to the stone pillars where they find the symbols carved into the pillar and the sky. They inspect the pillars and find that they may be in Zerstörer's temple. The Blutbad returns and attacks Eve until Nick kills him. While discussing how to beat it, Zerstörer appears and uses his staff to attack Nick and Eve. Nick uses the remaining bullets he has on him, with no success. Zerstörer shows knowledge of Nick's Grimm powers and has his staff shine as Eve woges into her Hexenbiest form.

'''Opening quote:''' "You shall break them with a rod."

Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) and Nick (David Giuntoli) are in the other place, after forcing to be wogue by Zerstörer ("Destroyer" in German) they try to fight him together. Wu (Reggie Lee), Hank (Russell Hornsby), and Rosalee (Bree Turner) translate that the Zerstorer needs Nick in order to travel to present day Earth. Diana (Hannah R. Loyd) opens the portal to bring Nick back not knowing it would bring back the Zerstorer as well.

Diana hides with Kelly in the cabin in the woods from "Pilot" under Adalind (Claire Coffee) and Renard's (Sasha Roiz) protection since the whole gang believes Zerstorer is after Diana. Diana has a vision and knows that Zerstorer wants her and her brother Kelly too. Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) arrives, having finished dismantling the criminal Wesen organization Black Claw for good. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), Rosalee, and Eve figure out the stick they found in the Black forest is actually a long-hidden shard of wood from Zerstörer's powerful staff. Zerstörer attacks the precinct, to get the stick back from Nick, killing several officers including impaling Hank through the throat and stabbing Wu in the stomach.

'''Opening quote:''' "Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."

Nick (David Giuntoli) regains consciousness and finds Zerstörer gone. He tries to revive Hank (Russell Hornsby) and Wu (Reggie Lee) with the stick but it doesn't work. Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) arrives and finds the precinct filled with dead officers. Deducing that bullets cannot work, they decide they have to cut his head in order to kill him permanently. He warns Adalind (Claire Coffee) and Renard (Sasha Roiz) about it but they tell him that Zerstörer not only wants Diana (Hannah R. Loyd), he also wants Kelly. Nick leaves but sends Trubel to the cabin to protect them.

Meanwhile, in the spice shop, Eve (Bitsie Tulloch), Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) do research to find a way to kill Zerstörer. They find that "one's blood" may be enough to kill him and Rosalee begins developing a potion named "Force Du Sang", requiring the blood of three opposed forces: a Grimm, a Wesen and a Hexenbiest. Nick arrives at the spice shop to inform them of Hank's and Wu's deaths. After Monroe and Rosalee leave for the cabin, Nick and Eve are attacked by Zerstörer (Wil Traval), who uses his staff to make Eve stab herself, killing her. Zerstörer disappears before Nick suffers a breakdown. Nick eventually arrives at the cabin where he, Adalind and Monroe put their blood in a bowl for the potion. Diana appears and announces that Zerstörer will arrive as Nick's stick reveals his location, intending to retrieve it.

Zerstörer arrives and Diana willingly goes with him. Renard attacks him but he's no match for Zerstörer, who stabs him in the heart with the staff, killing him. Monroe throws the potion on Zerstörer, making him suffer a breakdown but the effects soon disappear, finding that there's nothing that can kill it. Adalind tries to kill him with an ax but he takes it and kills her with a slash to the chest. He then has his staff shift into a snake that bites Rosalee and Monroe, killing them too. Zerstörer leaves, leaving Nick to cope with his losses. He uses his staff to strangle Trubel before Nick arrives. Zerstörer states that he only needs the stick and in exchange for the stick, he will bring back those who died, proving it by resurrecting Trubel.

Nick decides to give him the stick but Trubel takes it and runs into the woods. Nick intercepts her and they get into a fight until Nick beats her and takes the stick. He is then haunted by voices inside his head until his mother Kelly (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) and Aunt Marie (Kate Burton) appear. Against his wishes, both of them stop Nick from going and inform him that what he needs is his ancestors' strength to battle Zerstörer. Nick, Kelly, Trubel and Marie then join and attack Zerstörer, managing to cut one of his arms. Nick then takes the staff, which unites itself with the stick and stabs Zerstörer in the chest, effectively killing him. Kelly and Marie explain that they are all descendants from the First Grimm and disappear (confirming that this was all in Nick's head). However, Diana appears and reveals that she managed to see Kelly and Marie.

Just then, Zerstörer's body disintegrates and his remains create a portal and begins to suck the staff within. Nick refuses to let go of the staff and is sucked into the portal. Nick is hurled into the scene where he and Eve returned from the Other Place in Monroe's house with everybody alive. Diana then tells Nick that Zerstörer is dead and as such, they are all safe. After greeting everyone, they discover that the staff also passed through the portal.

A narration reveals that Nick did not know what to say and Zerstörer never entered the world. 20 years later, in a modernized trailer, a person narrates how Nick managed to defeat him with his blood, and the ones from Kelly, Marie and Trubel, who is also revealed to be his third cousin on his mother's side. He concludes by saying, "Some will say it's just a myth, legend or fairy tale but I know it's true because my father told me so", revealing to be a grown-up Kelly Burkhardt (Kevin Joy). He is then joined by a grown-up Diana (Nicole Steinwedell), who grabs the Zerstörer's staff and tells him to get ready to hunt Wesen with their parents as well as Monroe's and Rosalee's triplets. While Kelly leaves, Diana stares for a minute on the Grimm diaries before showing her purple eyes. This causes the book to close with its cover showing a big "G". The series ends with the words, "The End" followed by "Thank You" translated in many languages.

Seventeen-year-old Erica Vandross gives a police officer oral in his patrol car, after which two of her friends sneak up and record them. They extort $400 from the cop as Erica is underage. Erica and her friends are vigilantes who frequently entrap pedophiles. Erica is saving up to bail her father out of prison, where he is awaiting trial for trying to rob a casino.

Erica's mother Laurie is not bothered by Erica's promiscuity, but Laurie is disappointed that Erica does not like Laurie's new boyfriend Bob. Bob has an obese son named Luke, an emotionally disturbed 18-year-old who gets out of rehab and comes to live with them. Erica offers Luke oral sex, which he refuses, but they soon develop an unlikely friendship.

At a bowling alley, Luke has a panic attack when he sees his middle school teacher, Will Jordan, whom he accused of sexual assault. Will was never charged due to inconsistencies in Luke's story. Later that night, Erica interrupts Luke's suicide attempt.

Erica and her posse decide to make Will their next target, and Luke reluctantly agrees to participate. At a grocery store, Erica flirts with Will, and later she approaches him at the bowling alley. Although Will is aware that Erica is underage, they make out in his car in the parking lot. Before things can go any further, she abruptly stops it. Her friends accuse her of sabotaging the plan because she likes Will.

The gang forms a new plan. Erica blows a drug dealer in exchange for roofies and they lace a beer with it. Erica visits Will's house with a six pack, apologizes for the previous night, and they go inside his house to hang out. She asks about a model of the Eiffel Tower on his coffee table, and this prompts him to tell the story of being fired and divorced after he was falsely accused of molestation. Erica slaps the beer out of his hand, but as he feels the strong effect of the roofies, he grabs her arm and she screams. Luke runs in and knocks Will onto the glass coffee table, smashing it. The four of them pick Will up and prop him up on the couch while two of the girls strip down to their underwear and take pictures with him to use as blackmail. Luke worries that Will's breathing is too slow, but they leave, shaken by the encounter. On the way out, Erica sees that the other girls have spray-painted the word "pedophile" on the garage door.

The next morning, police show up at the Vandross house and accuse Erica and Luke of vandalism. They mention that they have not been able to contact Will yet, so Erica and Luke go back to his house to make sure he is okay. They find Will sitting on the couch exactly where they left him and try to shake him awake, but he is dead. He falls over, revealing blood and the Eiffel Tower model impaled in his back. Luke convinces Erica they have to run away to Mexico.

While on the run, Erica looks for reassurance from Luke that Will deserved what happened to him. Luke reveals that he was never molested by Will; he walked in on Will molesting his classmate, but she was afraid to tell anyone, so Luke lied to keep it from happening to anyone else. Luke surprises Erica by driving her to her father's prison and giving her bail money. However, she is heartbroken to find out that he was bailed out a few days ago and did not contact her.

Erica decides she does not want to live life as a fugitive; she wants them to go home and turn themselves in. Luke agrees, but on their way back, a police car tries to pull them over. Erica tells Luke that they cannot get caught before turning themselves in, so they try to lose the police on a dirt road. During the chase, Luke confesses his love for Erica. They give up on the chase, stop the car, and have sex on the ground, where the police find them. One month later, Erica visits Luke in prison shortly before her house arrest begins. Despite their circumstances, they are happy and in love.

On Peter Quill's 13th birthday, his mother Meredith gifts him the Element Guns, rare Spartoi weapons left behind by his father. That same day, Chitauri warriors attack the Quill household, kidnapping Peter and killing Meredith. Many years later, Peter becomes a mercenary named Star-Lord and leads the Guardians of the Galaxy. In order to make money, the Guardians head into the forbidden Quarantine Zone, established by the Nova Corps to store debris from the war, so they can capture a rare monster for their patron, Lady Hellbender. However, they are forced to flee the Quarantine Zone when Peter picks up a yellow gem he finds and accidentally releases an unidentified alien entity. The Guardians flee but are intercepted by the Nova Corps patrol ship ''Hala's Hope'', captained by Centurion Ko-Rel, Peter's former lover. Ko-Rel detains the Guardians alongside Grand Unifier Raker of the Universal Church of Truth, who was also caught trespassing in the Quarantine Zone to search for his church's "golden god". While being processed, Peter also meets a young Nova Corps cadet named Nikki Gold, who happens to be Ko-Rel's daughter, leading Peter to suspect that he might be Nikki's father. Ko-Rel agrees to give the Guardians three cycles to pay their hefty fine.

Being completely broke, the Guardians decide to scam Lady Hellbender by selling one of their own. The plan goes awry however and the Guardians are forced to flee, though not before obtaining the money necessary to cover their fine. Enraged, Lady Hellbender swears revenge and hires the Lethal Legion to pursue them. The Guardians then travel to "The Rock", a Nova Corps outpost where ''Hala's Hope'' is docked, but find that several Nova Corps officers stationed there, claiming that they must spread the "Promise", have mutinied. The ''Hala's Hope'' leaves the station and the Guardians decide to flee to Knowhere, where Quill plans to ask Cosmo the Spacedog for help. Cosmo arrests the Guardians after they get into a fight with the Blood Brothers, but Peter makes a deal with Cosmo to investigate the ''Hala's Hope'', which is now transmitting a mysterious signal, if Cosmo agrees to get the charges against them dropped.

The Guardians board the ''Hala's Hope'', and find a massive cannon siphoning "Faith Energy" from the planet below. They are then captured by Raker, who takes them to meet the "Matriarch" of his Church; to Peter's horror, the Matriarch is Nikki. Nikki is in possession of the yellow gem, which allows her to brainwash thousands of alien followers with the "Promise", trapping them in illusions crafted from their deepest desires, and harnessing their devotion as Faith Energy to power the Church's fleet of ships and machines. Nikki tries to tempt the Guardians with the Promise, but they each manage to resist and break free before escaping the Church, although Drax is still shaken by what he witnessed in his Promise, and Peter learns that Ko-Rel was killed by the mysterious entity he previously released.

The Guardians are attacked by a fleet of Lethal Legion warships, but manage to defeat them. They attempt to enlist the help of the Xandarian Worldmind, but it concludes that the Church's victory is inevitable and flees the galaxy with the remaining Nova Corps. Drax then succumbs to the Promise, and imprisons the team. With help from Mantis, the Guardians enter Drax's mind and force him to accept that the Promise is not real. They also encounter Adam Warlock, the Church's original "golden god" who faked his death and went into hiding on Mantis' planet. Warlock reveals that the alien entity controlling Nikki is in fact his dark side, Magus, whom he sealed in the yellow gem–the Soul Stone–to keep contained. Magus is manipulating Raker and the Church to gather Faith Energy on which he can feed.

With no other options, the Guardians turn to Lady Hellbender for help. They subdue and gift the legendary monster Fin Fang Foom for her, and she agrees to aid in an assault on the Church's flagship, the ''Sacrosanct''. During their assault, Raker traps the Guardians in an energy field, but Peter is able to enter Nikki's Promise. With the help of Ko-Rel's spirit–who reveals Nikki is an adopted war orphan and not Peter's daughter–Peter convinces Nikki to accept Ko-Rel's death, freeing her from her Promise and Magus' control, while also unlocking her hidden powers. The Guardians kill Raker while Warlock absorbs Magus back into his body, ending the threat of the Church. As the galaxy celebrates being freed from the Church's brainwashing, the Guardians take their leave, with Nikki becoming their newest member.

Magus proves to be too much for Warlock to contain, however, and takes over his body. Guided by Mantis, Peter risks his own life by physically wielding the Soul Stone to imprison Magus once again. Warlock thanks the Guardians for their help and takes custody of the Soul Stone, promising to come to them for help should he need it. Peter contemplates how to take care of Nikki as the Guardians set off to handle their next assignment: printing new business cards. If, however, the Guardians never paid their Nova Corp fine, the ship is suddenly disabled by a Nova Corps tracker and the team is left stranded in space.

In 1760s London, women's opportunities for economic advancement are either through marriage or sex work. The city's brothels are run by canny and determined businesswomen, such as Margaret Wells and Lydia Quigley, but there is a new morality on the rise. Religious evangelists demand the closure of brothels, and police are happy to launch brutal raids.

The show revolves around Wells' determination to improve her life and the lives of those in her "family" by moving her brothel to Greek Street in Soho to serve a wealthier clientele in Georgian society. Her move to Greek Street puts her into direct conflict with a rival madame, Lydia Quigley, for whom she had previously worked. Quigley operates an elite brothel in Golden Square that serves rich, influential people.

Dennis Peterson is a man with a mental disability who has had nightmares all his life since he was a child, including one where he entered a carnival ride that seemed underwhelming. He is told that "the ride isn't over." As an adult, Dennis has a dream where a living demon, called the Cadaver, fastens a zipper onto his back and enters his body. Also, in his dream, he finds a hidden room in the cellar that holds a full-length mirror that Dennis believes the Cadaver came from. The very next day, his brother John presents him with an identical mirror as a gift. He begins speaking to his reflection, who seems to answer back to him.

Dennis' brother John has difficulties of his own. His girlfriend, Lydia, demands that they get married but is upset that he will not do anything about Dennis. He is visited by Mildy Torres, a woman from social services, who believes that Dennis needs to be taken away. This upsets John as he feels that Dennis is his responsibility. Dennis continues to have nightmares of the Cadaver, and his reflection informs him that in order to get rid of it, they need to start killing animals. He begins working in the secret cellar, which perplexes John, especially when he sees that Dennis has videos on taxidermy. Dennis says the videos are not his but were accidentally switched with another customer.

Once Dennis begins killing children, his reflection takes on a more competent demeanor and reveals that "he" was the one giving him the nightmares and that they still have more killing to do. Dennis meets with his crush Susan, an employee at his favorite ice cream place. He tries to ask her out, but the conversation gets awkward, and Susan turns him down, hurting him. The Cadaver sends Dennis back to kill Susan. Before he can reach her, she runs out into the street and gets killed by a moving vehicle. When John and Lydia take Dennis to his favorite restaurant, he supposedly kills a man in the bathroom without hesitation, scaring himself. Dennis attempts to destroy the mirror, but his reflection pushes him in and takes on the "real" Dennis instead.

After a night out, John and Lydia discover they do not recognize anyone at places they regularly visit, implying that Dennis has killed more people. Mildy Torres arrives at the house with two officers, and Dennis kills them all. While sitting at a favorite cafe, John reveals to Lydia his secret: Dennis was a child prodigy whose works had been published in the newspapers. One day while arguing, John punched Dennis, and he fell down the stairs. When he awoke, his mentality diminished greatly, and John has felt guilty ever since. Lydia sympathizes with John and accepts the idea that if she and John marry, Dennis will always live with them. She leaves to get Dennis so that they can share the happy news over dinner. John's friend Pete sits nearby and reveals that the taxidermy tapes are Dennis'. John instructs Pete to call the police, and he hails a taxi.

Lydia arrives at the house. Dennis stabs her and proceeds to remove her insides. John arrives and enters the cellar, where he sits in a chair with a spotlight on it. Dennis appears with a now-stuffed Lydia and puts on a ventriloquist act, and John realizes he is glued to the chair. The previous victims have all been stuffed and are used in an extravagant diorama revealing that John intentionally hit Dennis with a baseball bat while he slept. Afterward, he used the fabrication of Dennis falling downstairs to cover his violent act. As more stuffed bodies are revealed, it becomes unclear if John or Dennis sees what is actually happening. Overwhelmed, John takes a gun and shoots himself. Dennis is slammed down by a Cadaver-Spider hybrid, only to reveal that he is actually being restrained by police officers who drag him away.

The final scene shows Dennis in a padded room. It is revealed that the reflection Dennis is still in control while the real Dennis is trapped deep in his subconscious. All Dennis can do now is wait to have the dream where he can finally get off the carnival ride.

Cherry Skye competes in the sport of roller derby in Australia and ends up falling in love with Brad, which gets the attention of Brad's ex-girlfriend Hell Gazer, who happens to be her derby opponent. This heated love triangle arouses a demon-spirit who wants Skye's soul!

Events take place in Yoshiwara, a pleasure district of present-day Tokyo. Agemaki is a courtesan who is frequented by Sukeroku (who turns out to be Soga Gorō). Sukeroku is continually looking for fights. An old samurai called Ikyū arrives and tries to coax Agemaki away from Sukeroku. Sukeroku does not succeed in provoking Ikyū to draw his sword. A saké-seller named Shimbei shows up, and Sukeroku picks a fight with him, but Shimbei reveals himself to be Soga Jyūrō (Sukeroku's elder brother) in disguise. Sukeroku explains to his brother (and later his mother) that he tries to provoke people into drawing their sword. If the sword turns out to be Tomokirimaru (their fathers sword), the person who holds the sword is probably the killer of their father and revenge can be exacted.

Ikyū tries to convince the brothers to join him. To demonstrate his power he hacks a leg of an incense burner. Thus revealing that his sword is in fact Tomokirimaru and he is Iga Heinaizaemon, an enemy of the family, and their father's killer. Quite often the play ends here, although there are versions where Sukeroku kills Ikyū.

At New Scotland Yard Inspector Duggan returns to duty, still suffering from memory loss after having a wall toppled on him in the American sector of post-war Berlin many years previously whilst trailing a jewel thief. He is assigned to the 'Flannelfoot' jewel-thief case, which bears many similarities to the thief in Berlin. Offering information on 'Flannelfoot' to the police, the ex-con informer 'Ginger' Watkins is turned away and instead takes it to Mitchell, a newspaper crime writer specialising in 'Flannelfoot', who advises him to take a job with Dr. Milligan, the owner of the car Watkins had seen 'Flannelfoot' driving. There Watkins tells Milligan about prison rumours of "Yank Peterson", the thief who had toppled the wall on Duggan, rumoured to be an American deserter with a talent for accents.

Mitchell's employer Lord Wexford seeks advice from crime novelist Tyrone Fraser, father of Andy and Kathleen. Watkins informs both Mitchell and the police of a meeting Milligan has planned, but both their surveillance operations fail, with Milligan tipped off and Watkins murdered by 'Flannelfoot'. Wexford invites alcoholic Bill Neilson and his wife Angela to a house-party, asking him to bring his jewel collection as bait for 'Flannelfoot'. Wexford's daughter Renee reprimands her boyfriend Andy for getting too close to Angela - he excuses it as an attempt to get Angela's business for his car firm, but in fact he hopes to uncover evidence of the Neilsons being involved in the 'Flannelfoot' affair. 'Flannelfoot' steals jewels from the Wexford residence and murders a servant during his escape, hiding the body in Andy's car, where is found when Andy is pulled over by the police for speeding. Duggan arrests Andy, hoping this will cause the real 'Flannelfoot' to break cover.

'Flannelfoot' meets Milligan to fence Kathleen's jewels and recognises 'Miss Armitage', in fact Kathleen working undercover as Milligan's personal assistant. That night, Fraser disguises himself as 'Flannelfoot', steals some of Neilson's jewels and plants one beside Kathleen's car before hiding in it. Renee and Wexford discover the planted jewel and call in Duggan and his DS Fitzgerald, thinking the real 'Flannelfoot' has struck again and intends to murder Kathleen. Fraser reveals the ruse and the police arrest Milligan, who mentions that 'Flannelfoot' had an American accent. Among the jewels Milligan was planning to fence for 'Flannelfoot' Duggan sees one stolen in Berlin, restoring his memory of 'Yank Peterson'. The Neilsons plan to flee to France, but 'Flannelfoot' arrives and kills Bill, who had been employing him in Berlin and England to expand his collection of jewels and was the only man who could give him away. The police arrive and Fitzgerald manages to push 'Flannelfoot' from the roof, fatally injuring him and revealing him as Mitchell.

In late March 2096, Tatsuya Shiba and his little sister Miyuki enjoy their spring vacation along with Erika Chiba, Leonhard Saijo, Mizuki Shibata, Mikihiko Yoshida, and Honoka Mitsui in a villa owned by Shizuku Kitayama's family at Bonin Islands when Tatsuya receives an order from the military to destroy an asteroid on course to collide with Earth. After spending their time in a shopping district at Minamitate Island, Miyuki's friends find a young girl hiding in their plane as they return to the villa. They learn her name as Kokoa and her involvement in an experiment with her other eight identical modified magicians, known as the Watatsumi series, who are being used in a huge CAD machine to activate a large-scale magic sequence. Kokoa pleads for their help to rescue the others in a research facility at Minamitate, where she is helped by Dr. Morinaga to escape and meet her former student's sister Mayumi Saegusa.

With the help of Miyuki, Erika, Leon, and Mikihiko, Tatsuya infiltrates the research facility and rescues the imprisoned Morinaga, who reveals the experiment to create a Strategic-class Magic called "Meteorite Fall" is capable of causing an astronomical object to fall on Earth and set to be used as a weapon to match Material Burst that is used during the Scorched Halloween. Meanwhile, magicians from the military organization Stars of the United States of North American Continent (USNA), led by Angelina Kudou Shields, begin their operation to destroy the research facility to prevent the creation of another Strategic-class Magic. After rescuing the Watatsumi girls, Tatsuya learns that the Meteorite Fall causes the USNA-owned space station Seventh Plague carrying uranium bombs to begin descending toward Earth.

As they assist the Watatsumi girls for safety, Erika and Leon encounter Stars magicians Ralph Algol and Ralph Hardy Mirphak attacking the facility. Katsuto Jyumonji arrives to assist Erika and Leon in their fight. After destroying the huge CAD machine to prevent a repeat of the experiment, Tatsuya contacts Angelina for assistance in dealing with the space station by sending him into the space where he can destroy it before entering the atmosphere. The destruction of the space station causes an aurora to appear in the night sky. Accompanied by Honoka, Shizuku, Mayumi, and Mari Watanabe, Kokoa is reunited with the other Watatsumi girls at the Kanto branch of the Magic Association.

A boy named Alex Cole and his friends have fun participating in pretend medieval battles at a "castle" built from a shed. After one such battle, the kids gather around a round table and Alex tells his friends about the legend of King Arthur. A group of bullies led by James "Scar" Scarsdale arrives and intimidates Alex's friends into fleeing. Alex fights back by throwing a water balloon at Scar. The bullies chase Alex into the woods, but Alex loses them and encounters a sword lodged in a stone. He pulls the sword from the stone, at which point the wizard Merlin appears and brings Alex to his dwelling in a tree where he begins teaching Alex how to use the sword, which he reveals to be Excalibur.

Alex befriends a new kid at school named Luke, whom he invites to visit the castle. When they arrive, they find that Scar and his bullies are harassing Alex's friends. Alex calls upon the power of Excalibur, allowing him to easily defeat Scar in a fistfight. Alex, Luke, and the other kids manage to intimidate the bullies into retreating. To reward Luke for helping them, Alex accepts him as one of the "knights". Afterwards, Alex visits Merlin, who advises Alex that he should never misuse Excalibur's power, since doing so would lead to him losing Excalibur.

Scar's father Butch tells his associates Gil and Stu that he plans to commit a crime and then to flee town. Alex finds out that his friend Jenny, whom he has a crush on, is attracted to Luke. This makes Alex depressed and he avoids visiting Merlin that day. Merlin, however, visits Alex at night and advises him that young love can lead to pain. The next day, Alex's jealousy causes him to attack Luke. Luke initially overpowers Alex and tries to talk sense into him, but Alex draws power from Excalibur and punches Luke to the ground. Jenny tells Alex that she now hates him for what he did and that he is worse than Scar. Rejected by his friends, Alex goes to Merlin's tree but Merlin is not there. He goes home to check on Excalibur, but the sword is gone. Alex returns to the tree, where he hears Merlin's voice tell him that he has misused Excalibur's power and that he hopes Alex will learn from his mistake.

Alex talks with his father, who advises him to apologize to his friends. Butch, Gil, and Stu rob the local bank. Jenny is having a party at her house with several other kids, including Luke. Meanwhile, her father, Sheriff Rick Ferguson, hears about the robbery and goes out to deal with it. After Ferguson leaves, Butch and his henchmen go to the house and hold Jenny, her mother, and the party guests hostage. Butch, who has a grudge against Ferguson, plans to wait until Ferguson returns and use him as a hostage to get them past police roadblocks during their getaway.

Alex arrives at Jenny's house and discovers what is happening. He sabotages the crooks' getaway car by flattening its tires. Alex lures Gil and Stu to a nearby barn, where he outsmarts and traps them. Alex sneaks into the house and calls the police to inform them of the situation. Butch captures Alex and takes him to the getaway car, abandoning his henchmen and the hostages. Despite the car's flat tires, Butch drives off with Alex. When the car gets stuck in a ditch, Butch tries to flee on foot with Alex, but Alex escapes and the other kids arrive and pelt Butch with apples. Alex disarms Butch and incapacitates him by throwing an apple at his groin. Sheriff Ferguson and the police arrive and arrest Butch. Alex apologizes to Jenny and Luke for attacking Luke and for being jealous.

Later, Alex goes into the woods. He encounters Scar and his friends, who make peace with Alex. He goes to Merlin's tree, where Merlin appears and reveals to Alex that he never really lost Excalibur because Excalibur is the good in him. Alex asks if he is King Arthur, and Merlin tells him that he can be Arthur if he wants to be, i.e. aspire to be everything Arthur represented, though he is not Arthur reincarnated. Merlin then vanishes.

The film closes with a scene in Los Angeles, where another child encounters a sword in a stone.

In Los Angeles, Jill LaBeau is a friend and personal assistant to movie star Heather Anderson. Heather has decided to drop out of an upcoming film, upsetting numerous people, as the movie will not go forward without her in it. Late one night, at Heather's request, Jill walks into a diner to break the news of Heather's decision to Greg, the director. After he leaves, Heather enters, joins Jill, and is then joined by Sierra, an awkward fan. Sierra asks to take a picture with Heather, and she reluctantly agrees. Sierra posts the photo on social media.

As they leave the diner, paparazzi ask questions and take photos of Heather. One of them, Stan, asks Heather about Devin, her ex-boyfriend, and Tracy, her rumored new love interest. The two women go to Jill's apartment. Heather asks Jill to lend her gun to her, a .22 snub nose. Jill is hesitant, but Heather says she does not feel safe with so many people angry at her. Jill loads the gun with bullets and gives it to her. They then go out to a nightclub where they meet up with Tracy. Before they leave, Tracy tells Heather she will be at the cabin the next day. Tracy and Heather kiss before parting ways.

Jill and Heather drive to Heather's mansion, where Jill ends up spending the night. Before they go to sleep, Heather notices a motion light turn on outside, but Jill dismisses it, saying it is probably just a coyote. Jill wakes up the next morning and takes the gun out of Heather's purse. It accidentally goes off, shattering a nearby coin case. Jill confesses to a startled Heather that she thought about taking the gun away, but she leaves it with Heather. After running some errands that morning, Jill returns to the mansion where she is shocked to discover Heather lying dead on the floor from gunshot wounds, with Jill's gun nearby. The coin collection is also gone. Police arrive at the mansion, and Detective Ahn makes Jill some tea as he interviews her. Jill later goes to the beach and tries calling Tracy, but she is only able to leave a message.

After meeting with Heather's agent, Jill returns to her apartment, but sees several police officers in the complex. As she tries to get away without being noticed, she is caught by Detective Ahn, who takes her to a nearby diner. He informs her that all the evidence points to her so far: her fingerprints are on the gun and shell casings, and her hands tested positive for gun powder residue. They both notice that someone next to them is recording their conversation—Stan. While Ahn is briefly distracted by Stan, Jill slips away.

Jill gets her hair dyed blonde and goes to talk with Greg. While he packs his bags for a trip to Scotland, the two discuss who might have killed Heather. Police knock on the door, and Greg answers while Jill slips out the back. Jill then tracks down Devin to a bar. She talks to him and tries to find out where he was the night before and that morning, but Devin avoids the question and asks Jill about Heather's relationship with Tracy. Devin leaves without giving any answers, but leaves his hotel key at the bar. Jill takes it and searches his hotel room while Devin and his girlfriend are at the desk getting another key. In Devin's belongings, she finds a rare coin similar to the ones that were at Heather's house. When Devin and his girlfriend come back, Jill hides in the closet and overhears Devin asking his girlfriend to provide him with an alibi for Heather's murder. Though he maintains his innocence, he claims an alibi will make everything easier.

After sneaking out of Devin's room, Jill calls Tracy for help. She arrives and takes Jill to her house. Jill shows Tracy the rare coin she found in Devin's belongings, thinking it could be one of the ones that was taken from Heather's house. Tracy thinks it is just another one that Devin already owns.

Late that night, Jill overhears Tracy talking to someone on the phone; she hears her say "I can get her to come up to the cabin", "she's asleep now", and "I just really think I should bring her up there before something happens." While exploring the other rooms in the house, Jill finds the coins taken from Heather's mansion. She decides to sneak out of the house.

Jill rides a motorcycle away from Tracy's house and manages to lose a police car that is tailing her. She stops at a laundromat and listens to a message from Detective Ahn. She then sees a breaking news report that the police have retracted their ID of Heather as the murder victim. Jill then looks at social media accounts and sees that not only does Sierra, the fan they met at the diner, look like Heather, she even has the same Gemini tattoo on the back of her neck.

Early the next morning, Jill rides the motorcycle up to the cabin. Inside, she finds Heather, alive and well. The dead girl is Sierra; Heather shot Sierra when she broke into the house the morning before, but was too scared to go to the police. Jill is furious and Heather apologizes. For all that she has been through, Heather lets Jill punch her in the face.

Sometime later, Jill is helping Heather prepare for a TV interview about the incident. Detective Ahn stops by to watch.

The story begins with Chanie describing his experiences of abuse from residential school teachers, who he and his friends (two brothers) call "Fish Bellies" or "Sucker Bellies" for their pale skin. On an October afternoon, Chanie and the two brothers decide to run away. Because of a lung infection, Chanie struggles to keep up with his friends. Eventually the three boys reach a river, where they run into the two brothers' uncle. They are given a meager meal of freshly-caught fish in the cabin where the uncle, his wife, and his daughter are staying. That night, Chanie sleeps on the floor by the wood stove.

In the morning, the uncle tells his wife to send Chanie away, while he takes his two nephews to the trapline to look for food. When Chanie gets up to join them, the uncle tells him that it would be dangerous to have four people in his canoe. The mother sends Chanie on his way with dried moose meat and tells him to turn right at the tracks to head back to the school. The girl gives him a glass jar that holds seven matches. Chanie leaves the cabin, resolved to find his two friends and their uncle. However, when he reunites with them, the uncle tells him he cannot stay and that he must return to the school. He tells Chanie he can beat the impending bad weather if he travels quickly.

At the railroad tracks, Chanie turns in the direction away from the school and toward where he thinks his home will be. When it is dark, he decides to sleep next to a beaver pond, lighting a small fire with the matches given to him by the girl. However, the fire gives him little to no protection against the extremely cold temperatures that night. He ends up dreaming about the sexual abuse he experienced at the hands of one of his teachers. Back on the tracks, Chanie continues to slowly make his way on his journey, weakened from exhaustion and exposure. He falls a number of times before finally succumbing to the cold. After his death, a mother lynx lifts Chanie's spirit and carries him into the forest, away from the tracks. In the morning an engineer comes across Chanie's frozen body by the tracks and notifies the authorities. The story ends with Chanie, warm and happy, dancing in the forest with all of the animals featured throughout the novel.

Eloise tells her two granddaughters a version of ''The Little Mermaid'' in which a mermaid princess is tricked by a wizard who steals her soul, and forced to live a life away from her ocean home enslaved to the wizard for eternity. When the girls say they do not believe the story is real, their grandmother begins a tale of a girl she knew who met a mermaid.

Cam, a young reporter, writes a letter while his niece, Elle, plays outside. Elle has an undiagnosed condition with no cure. She starts coughing and Cam carries her inside before going to work. His boss assigns him to investigate a man in a circus, Locke, who claims to have mermaid healing water. Cam hopes this water can cure Elle.

Cam and Elle visit the circus in Mississippi, where they meet a mermaid trapped in a glass tank. The next day, Cam questions several people who have taken Locke's mermaid water; none of them have actually been cured of their ailments. After determining conclusively that the healing water is a fraud meant to dupe the gullible, Cam assumes the mermaid is likewise a hoax.

Cam and Elle take a walk in the woods, where they meet the mermaid again. She introduces herself as Elizabeth and explains that she has legs when it is low tide. Back at the circus, Locke holds the vial which contains Elizabeth's soul and Elizabeth abruptly leaves Cam and Elle. Cam sneaks back into the circus and overhears a conversation between Locke and his henchman, Sid. He follows the sound of Elizabeth's singing to her tent before he's found by Locke and Sid and forced to leave.

Thora, a fortune teller, and Ulysses, a circus performer, help Cam and Elle take Elizabeth's soul and release her from her tank. They escape to the ocean, defeating Locke in the process. Elizabeth regains her soul and heals Elle, telling her that all she needs is a swim when she is feeling sick. Cam and Elizabeth share a farewell kiss before Elizabeth swims away.

Cam files the story, revealing that the mermaid is real, as well as details of Locke's scams and cruelty, skeptical that anyone will believe him, despite this, he is determined to tell the truth.

Eloise finishes this story and begins coughing. She announces it is time for a swim and goes outside, her surprised granddaughters following behind.

'''Opening quote:''' "You will face yourself again in a moment of terror..."

Nick (David Giuntoli), Hank (Russell Hornsby), Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), Eve (Bitsie Tulloch), Wu (Reggie Lee) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) discuss their next move against Renard (Sasha Roiz), who is also demanding Hank's and Wu's resignations. The next day, Hank and Wu present their resignation letters to Renard, although Wu nearly loses control of his form. Nick decides to stop Renard from his inauguration as mayor by asking Eve to get him the witch's hat so he can transform into Renard.

Renard is visited by Jeremiah (M. Ben Newman), who is angry after discovering that he had an affair with Rachel and is also a suspect in her murder and gives him 24 hours to give him money to not reveal the information. Renard then has a Löwen, Lt. Grossante (Chris McKenna), kill Jeremiah but the killing reminds him of him murdering Meisner (Damien Puckler). Renard then has Grossante promoted as captain. Adalind (Claire Coffee) retrieves hair from Renard's clothes and gives it to Monroe, who barely escapes the house when Renard arrives early. In the spice shop, Nick begins to inhale from the potion and after a painful progress, he becomes Renard.

Adalind distracts Renard from attending his inauguration speech and Renard watches as Nick impersonating him, announces his resignation from the mayor office and states that Nick was part of an undercover investigation to bring "the real killer" to justice, planning to resume his career as police captain. After the speech, Nick (still as Renard) and Hank arrive at the precinct to retrieve items from him. Nick is confronted by Grossante, who is angry that he broke his deal and he will pay for it. The real Renard arrives and briefly confronts Nick before he leaves. Renard then arranges a meeting with Nick on his loft.

The gang is confused as to why Nick is still Renard and find that due to his Grimm powers, he may be Renard forever. Adalind arrives with Diana (Hannah R. Lloyd) and Kelly and works on another potion to reverse the shift. Nick and Renard fight in the roof but as they have the same powers, none can beat the other. Nick proposes to frame Bonaparte for the attack in the North station and that his involvement was the cause of his resignation. Renard accepts and gives Nick, Hank and Wu their old jobs. He also adds that he will raise Diana and threatens that something will happen if he dies and if he finds another shiftier like him, the deal will end. Nick returns to the spice shop but finds that no potion has been discovered. Diana arrives and after seeing that he isn't her dad, she uses her powers to push him away, making him go back to his normal body. Renard returns to his house and discovers someone sitting on the couch, waiting for him. He stares in shock when he finds Meisner (Damien Puckler) there, telling him that "he chose the wrong side".

It is a bet that sets the action in motion. In the Central Theatre's corduroy wardrobe, an extremely lively discussion arises one evening between the beautiful and energetic Mette Madsen and her comrades. The girls have, as usual, discussed the problem with men, and Oda, a beautiful girl, full of sex appeal, claims that Mette, who by the way is an excellent chairman of the Kordamers' organization, is completely devoid of "oomph" and does not exercise any attraction to men. The bet is made and the three "victims", who must of course be unmarried, are chosen from the phone book.

A veteran worker at the Jericho Works strongly resists when he has retirement forced upon him by his employers. He says he will retire when he is 90. All he has to show is a small clock as a retirement present which he places on the family mantelpiece.

Mick-Mack lives with his son and his wife, and their young son Barnaby ("Barny").

Mick-Mack takes a job as night watchman at the Jericho Works. Meanwhile his son is fired for being late to work. The works decide that only Mick-Mack can resolve the troubles they are having in the electroplating section.

Mick-Mack discovers it is drops of honey (from bees in the roof) which are ruining the process.

A Buddhist monk on a spiritual quest. A Student trying to test his limits. An organ dealer growing his business. A surgeon who heals by day and rapes women at night. The film interweaves various stories, on the threshold of pain, between life and death.

A green meteorite lands in a quiet town and turns many local dogs into vicious killers.

The novel has four parts: "De zaaidhede" ("the sowing"), "De wiedsters" ("the weed removers"), "Bloei" ("flowering"), and "De slijting" (the manual pulling of the flax without removal of the roots). It is situated on a prosperous farm of flax growers. The main focus is the conflict between the old farmer Vermeulen and his son and successor Louis, culminating in a row where the farmer badly beats his son, eventually resulting in his death.

A man's car breaks down and he seeks shelter in a remote shack in the woods, where he is held at gunpoint by a deranged mountain man.

Super-efficient secretary Elizabeth Foster effectively runs a diamond merchant firm. Her boss David Walsh (who inherited the firm from his grandfather, but knows nothing about diamonds) buys a diamond ring from a street vendor, planning to propose to her, but she tells him the diamond is actually paste, and far from worth the £25 he paid. His embarrassment over this causes him to forgo proposing. She tells him of her plan to rescue the firm from its dire financial position, by purchasing the family jewels of a duke David went to school with for £70,000, though they only have to pay £7000 on account; she has a prospective buyer already, who may be willing to pay £90,000. However, he is unwilling to accept how she intends to raise the sum (which includes mortgaging his willing mother's house), so she quits.

She walks out of her office and straight into the midst a smash and grab robbery. Accidentally blocking the back door of the gang's getaway car, she is forced inside by Joe and driven away. She helps the three crooks evade the pursuing police car after being promised her release, but Johnny, their leader, reneges and she is taken to their hideout in rural Sussex, a mansion looked after the uncle of Basher, another of the thieves. There she meets Arthur, the fourth member of the gang. She tips the farm worker who gives them a ride on his hay wagon to the mansion, but the message she wrote on the pound note is only noticed when he tries to spend it in the pub.

Elizabeth, a prisoner until the gang pull off another planned robbery in a few days, sets to improve their living conditions and also proves to know far more about their jewel haul than they do themselves. All her predictions as to how their future smash and grab plan will fail prove to be correct.

The gang, with the exception of Johnny, look up to Elizabeth and treat her very well. She persuades the gang to follow a plan devised by Arthur. To her horror, they rob the wrong place, her former employer, and steal the jewellery David bought from the duke. Worse still, displaying his usual ineptitude, Walsh has neglected to have it insured. Nevertheless, after getting Elizabeth's message, he rescues her and the jewellery.

Several years later, they are happily married and prosperous, having purchased the mansion in which she was imprisoned, with the gang now gainfully employed as their servants.

The previous book's adventure in Herefordshire left the protagonist Peter Grant deeply involved in a relationship with Beverley Brook, the resourceful young woman who had saved him from captivity by the Faerie Queen. Beverley happens to be the tutelary goddess of Beverley Brook, a small river in South London, and can often be found swimming through its waters; when Peter comes to the bank and calls her name, she might jump naked out of the water, like a salmon, directly into his arms. Peter now spends much of his time – especially his nights – in Beverley's comfortable and spacious house on the riverbank. It is there that he gets the phone call catapulting him into the whirlwind of a new adventure.

A bunch of teenagers breaking into a luxurious apartment and holding there a wild party of sex and drugs, ending with one of them dead of an overdose, is a matter for the police – but normally, not for Grant, whose very special police specialty are the cases involving magic. However, one of the teenagers involved was the daughter of a very magical creature – Cecilia Tyburn Thames aka Lady Ty, who is the goddess of the River Tyburn and the older and far stricter sister of Peter's girlfriend. Peter owes Lady Ty a favour for having once saved his life, and she wants her daughter Olivia kept out of trouble with the law – which is not easy for Peter to deliver. Peter's involvement soon grows deeper when an autopsy by pathologists who know about magic reveals that the dead girl, Christina Chorley, had died not only of a drug overdose but also of a wild and excessive use of magic – which can cause a careless practitioner's brain to undergo ''hyperthaumaturgical degradation'', with often fatal results.

Peter plunges into the investigation, in partnership with the Muslim policewoman Sahra Guleed – who has no training in magic but makes up for it in her courage and dedication. It is far from easy, since it is needed to interview various very rich and influential people, who resent the police digging into their affairs and who use their connections in the Metropolitan Police's command structure to obstruct the investigation. To further confuse the issue, there come up traces of a long-lost manuscript by Isaac Newton, who secretly founded modern magic. This lost ''Third Principia'', stolen by the 18th-century master criminal Jonathan Wild, supposedly deals with alchemy, the philosopher's stone and possibly even with how to attain eternal life.

Various magically-inclined individuals and groups are involved in the hunt for this treasure:

• Viscountess Helena Linden-Limmer, heiress to a long line of witches and sorceresses who disdain male-dominated magic, and her daughter Caroline who aspires to learn how to fly magically without wings or mechanical aids
• A bunch of American wizards known as the "Virginia Gentlemen", with links to the US intelligence community – who bungled badly when using magic at Falluja during the Iraq War, but are now intensively active in London
• The various not-quite-human beings known collectively as "The Demi-monde", identifying themselves as fae and strongly objecting to being called goblins. Their favourite gathering place is the sinister ''Chestnut Tree Pub'', built around the still-existent Tyburn Tree, on which London criminals used to be hanged (the ''Hanging Tree'' of the title)
• In particular, a specific denizen of this ''demi-monde'' known as Reynard Fossman (Reynard the Fox), a highly enterprising and competent criminal rumoured to be in possession of the secret Newton manuscript
• Sir William Tyburn – an earlier deity of the River Tyburn. Considered to have been killed by the river's industrial pollution in the 19th century, he suddenly re-appears – using a 14th-century broadsword to kill a 21st-century underworld hired killer. On another occasion, he is seen at night running across the parks of modern London, painted blue with woad and stalking mysterious prey with spears

All of these and more are constantly running into each other, ruining each other's plans but sometimes inadvertently saving each other's lives. Gradually, however, other issues become side-lined as Peter Grant and his mentor, the veteran wizard Nightingale, find themselves heading for an explosive showdown with their arch-enemy – the very powerful and utterly ruthless wizard known as The Faceless Man. Also involved is the renegade policewoman Leslie May – once Peter Grant's valued colleague with whom he was deeply in love, now The Faceless Man's cunning and highly resourceful accomplice.

The titanic magical battle thoroughly wreaks the luxurious apartment building where everything began. "He almost got me, you know," Nightingale recounts afterwards. "He's prepared a number of booby traps and tried to lure me into the killing zone." However, though the Faceless Man is clever and ruthless, he lacks combat experience, while Nightingale is a veteran of deadly battles against Nazi German wizards in the Second World War – enabling him to survive all traps and relentlessly pursue his foe. Meanwhile, Peter and Leslie engage in intensive magical duels of their own – but remember enough of their past to still make an effort not to kill each other.

In the event, no one is killed. The Faceless Man and Leslie make good their escape, to fight again another day. However, he is The Faceless Man no longer. His true name and antecedents had been revealed, and a wealth of information gained on his background and motivations: an upper-class English Nationalist, a racist who romanticises the Dark Ages and admires Alfred the Great and dreams of the English once again ruling the world.

In the aftermath, Newton's famed ''Third Principia'' had fallen into the hands of Lady Helena Linden-Limmer – and Nightingale is content to leave her the task of deciphering its obscure Latin. Peter goes back to his idyllic relationship with the delightful Beverly, doing some needed work on improving her eponymous Beverley Brook. However, Lady Ty invites him to a stern talk, to warn of the dangers and dilemmas inherent in a mortal man loving an immortal goddess (and vice versa).

He fights with Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) and Thor and manages to steal one of Iron Man's armors to give Alves enough time to escape. After he's beaten down by several Avengers, Castle is made to surrender by Steve Rogers (Captain America) who urges him to stand down like the military man he is after the battle is over and he knows he is beaten. Castle, unwilling to refuse an order from Rogers, whom he respects, gives up and is placed in prison.

''The Dragon Crown'' is a scenario that was used as the 1978 Pacific Encounters ''D&D'' tournament dungeon. The heroes are captured by a red dragon, but are offered their freedom if they will retrieve the Dragon Crown from some thieving kobolds.

There is also another miniscenario. Both adventures are also suitable for use with ''AD&D''.

''Modron'' is a scenario describing the village of Modron and a nearby underwater adventure, each with a large map. It includes both village and underwater encounters.

Modron is a water goddess whose city was somehow preserved in a battle between her worshippers and the worshippers of her rival god, Proteus.

He wanders through the changed city, eventually ending up in the ruins of the Palace of Versailles. Mercier's hero notes everything that catches his fancy in this futuristic Paris. Public space and the justice system have been reorganized. Citizens' garb is comfortable and practical. Hospitals are effective and science-based. There are no monks, priests, prostitutes, beggars, dancing masters (i.e., dance teachers), pastry chefs, standing armies, slavery, arbitrary arrest, taxes, guilds, foreign trade, coffee, tea, or tobacco: such occupations, institutions, and products have been adjudged to be useless and immoral – as has much previously written literature, which has been willingly destroyed by the future librarians, who proudly display their library, reduced to a single room of only the most valuable works.

Written only 18 years before the French Revolution of 1789, the book describes a future secular, pacifist France that has been established through a peaceful revolution led by a "philosopher-king" who has set up a system resembling a parliamentary monarchy. The future utopian, egalitarian France is portrayed as having no religion and no military.

;Chapter One - The Hero Narrator Samuel L. Jackson first introduces the hero of the story, Henry, as he is talking to his therapist, Dr. Cait Morris (Annette Bening). Unimpressed with Henry, he focuses on Cait. As she is crossing the street, Will Dempsey (Oscar Isaac) tells her he is a big fan and she is then hit by a bus. Sam breaks the narration, appears physically, and suggests that Cait will be fine because she is the hero. When he sees that she is dead, he leaves.

It is then revealed that this scene is part of a script that Will is writing, and another narrator (Lorenza Izzo) takes over, telling the actual story. Cait is actually Will's therapist, and he has been seeing her since he was discharged from a psychiatric hospital. Flashbacks show Will and his wife Abby's (Olivia Wilde) married life. She is a Dylan fan, and is very pregnant.

Will tells Cait about Abby. Her parents died in a car accident, while she sat in the backseat. She had to live with her only family member: her Uncle Joe (Bryant Carroll), who sexually abused her until her teens, when she threatened to shoot him dead if he touched her again.

Abby and Will meet, become friends in college, he asks her out and less than a year later, proposes. She meets his parents Irwin (Mandy Patinkin) and Linda (Jean Smart). On another occasion, Abby excitedly talks to Will about her thesis on the unreliable narrator: that life is the ultimate unreliable narrator as it is so tricky and surprising.

In the present day, Will wonders what happened. Cait tells Will that he was institutionalized following Abby leaving, pushing him to remember the details of "that day". Walking down the street after having lunch with his parents, Abby announced they were having a girl and wanted to name her Dylan. Distracted, Abby was struck by a bus, while a little boy watched from inside. She died and the baby survived. Will, blaming himself, shoots himself in front of Cait.

;Chapter Two - Dylan Dempsey Will and Abby's daughter Dylan, born of death and tragedy, seems to have a dark cloud following her. Raised by her grandparents, Linda passes away when Dylan is 6.

Inviting his worker, Javier Gonzalez (Sergio Peris-Mencheta), into the house for a drink, he tells him how his Italian father impregnated his Spanish mother and then shunned them both. Saccione inherited his wealth and land as his father left no will. He offers Javier the position of foreman, which includes living in the house.

Javier visits his beloved girlfriend Isabel Diaz (Laia Costa), telling her about his promotion. They build a life together, getting married and becoming parents to Rodrigo. Saccione often visits mother and son while Javier is out working. After Saccione gifts him a globe, Rodrigo becomes interested in seeing NYC. Saccione tells Isabel he feels it is too late for him to find the happiness Javier has, apologizing for intruding. Isabel assures Saccione that Rodrigo enjoys his visits. However, Javier disapproves and returns the globe.

Javier takes Isabel and Rodrigo to see NYC. Rodrigo is having a great time, until they find themselves on the bus. Distracting the bus driver causes him to hit Abby, and he becomes traumatized.

Back home, Javier and Isabel struggle to take care of sleepless Rodrigo, straining the marriage. They ask Saccione to help Rodrigo, making Javier jealous. Feeling that his wife and son love Saccione more than him, he confronts Saccione, asking if he loves them both. When he guiltily says yes, Javier leaves, although Isabel insists she loves her life with him. She stays with Saccione, but makes it clear she will not love him like she loves Javier.

;Chapter Four - Rodrigo Gonzalez Rodrigo (Alex Monner) grows up and goes to college in NYC. He starts a relationship with Shari, a fellow student from a Long Island family. He returns home when Isabel contracts cancer. Rodrigo wants to stay with her, but she tells him goodbye.

The most important day in Rodrigo's life starts with Shari telling him she is pregnant. When later she says it was just an April Fool's prank, Rodrigo breaks up with her feeling flabbergasted and culturally out of sync. In Spain, Isabel has little time left and Javier arrives for the first time in years. Apparently, Saccione had kept him updated on his wife and son, so he spends one final moment with Isabel. Getting the news his mom had died, distraught, Rodrigo goes for a run through the city. Coming across Dylan crying on the bench, he asks her if she is okay.

;Chapter Five - Elena Dempsey-Gonzalez The narrator is Elena (Lorenza Izzo), Dylan and Rodrigo's daughter. Reading from her book, "Life Itself", the story of everything that led to her parents' meeting, she repeats what Isabel told Rodrigo: even if life brings us to our knees, if we look hard enough, we will find love. She concludes her story saying that one moment shaped her entire life, and that she sees both of her grandmothers (Abby and Isabel) in herself.

The last scene is a brief clip of Will admiring a pregnant Abby.

During their second attempt, the same entity attacks Martin and sticks tentacles down his throat, using him to communicate to Nicole and Jason. Nicole and Jason lose consciousness as they attempt to flee. After regaining consciousness, they see Martin unharmed. Martin informs them they are trapped in a different time dilation due to the experiment, and that the area may have different flows of time, keeping them trapped there in a time dilation where the outside world seems frozen and they are invisible to others, just like the entities usually are. Martin thinks he can reverse the time dilation. Just as he is about to do so, Jason attempts to grab his high-speed camera and things go from bad to worse.

''The Bride from Vegas'' opens with what seems a completely different film. It looks like a low-budget Chinese action film. This turns out to be a film set, and the star of the non-existent film, Allison (Charlene Rose) gets fired.

Mike (Mikael Sharafyan) is a young man living a simple life in rural Armenia with his parents. When his street-wise cousin shows him a photo of Las Vegas showgirls, Mike falls in love with one of them and decides to travel to America, find the girl in the photo and marry her. To raise the money he needs, he sells his pet cow. This is only after a decidedly one-sided conversation with the cow.

Note – as long as Mike is in Armenia, all actors speak Armenian and English subtitles are shown.

His flight to Las Vegas is interrupted through a mishap, and he lands in Los Angeles. His travel across the desert is mostly filled with random characters, each building his idea of America.

Once in Las Vegas, Mike runs into Allison and the search for the showgirl begins. At this point the romance truly starts and the film follows a standard "rom-com" structure.

The story of ''Raiden V'' follows the previous games. ''Raiden V'' is the first game in the series to have a detailed story. Named characters engage in fully voiced dialogue, along with narration during the story screens. The story fleshes out several narrative elements that had gone unexplained in previous games, such as the origin of the Fighting Thunder project and the Crystals' motives. Depending on the stage route taken by the player, the story changes slightly while not affecting gameplay, as the characters become more aware of each other's true motives the higher the rank of a given stage is.

The game's story takes place 17 years after humanity's war with the Crystals began. The Vanquish Crystal Defense, or VCD, awaits an attack order to launch Fighting Thunder to assist the North American army, who have been decimated by attacks by the Crystals. Aboard the VCD flagship, the ''Bellwether'', commanding officer Richard "Max" Maxwell (voiced by Xander Mobus in English) and communications officer Eshiria Portman (Rina Hoshino) lament that the VCD and the Fighting Thunders are being held back during what they consider a Crystal contamination far bigger than in the past.

After receiving the long-awaited attack order, Fighting Thunder assists the North American army, defeating a battleship that was taken over by the Crystals. Max and Eshiria receive word from VCD's Middle East branch that there is major Crystal activity in the region. Eshiria notes that the energy signatures are the same as what they detected in North America. They then discover a cave full of Crystals. Max has a shipment of the Crystals from the cave sent to a French shipping port en route to the Large Hadron Collider, under the suspicion that the Crystals may have signs of intelligence. With this suspicion, Max orders an SOS call to the French shipping port, even under the doubts of his superior, international peace councilor Helga Lindenbaum (Laura Post). Max's suspicions were proven right, with the Crystals attacking the port. After fending off the port attack, Max realized that the Crystals can upgrade any machinery they contaminate.

Max orders a mission to the Large Hadron Collider facility, expecting a massive Crystal presence there. His suspicions are again proven right, as the Crystals have laid siege to the facility in an orderly military fashion. Max hypothesized that the Crystals have a command structure. After clearing out the Crystal contamination at the Large Hadron Collider facility, a surveillance drone detected on the ''Bellwether'''s deck steals the Crystals and delivers them to a pirate mercenary, Valbarossa Hawkeye (Sarah Anne Williams), who plans to transport them to an unknown facility.

Max orders Fighting Thunder to pursue Valbarossa Hawkeye and retake the Crystals. Valbarossa Hawkeye detects Fighting Thunder and orders their flagship to attack. As the Valbarossa's ship is being disabled by Fighting Thunder, the stolen Crystals suddenly started to contaminate the ship's command bridge, upgrading it with an energy beam cannon to use against Fighting Thunder. After defeating the contaminated ship, Valbarossa Hawkeye, who reveals herself to be a woman, joins Max and Eshiria and boards the ''Bellwether''.

Valbarossa Hawkeye reveals her client to be Lieutenant Walter Erick Campbell (Erik Scott Kimerer), head of VCD's weapons development division and a researcher for the SHIFT organization. With the Valbarossa's help, VCD locates the SHIFT facility and orders Fighting Thunder to raid the facility. Earlier, Campbell reminded to Max that it was the efforts of SHIFT researching and utilizing Crystal technology that the Fighting Thunder project and the ''Bellwether'' exist, and that the entire war effort is dependent on him. During the SHIFT raid, Campbell reiterated his stance on SHIFT's continued research, denouncing the Montevideo Agreement that bans research on Crystal technology. However, Max says in response that he, being on the front lines, and the rest of the world know how dangerous the Crystals are, since they contaminated Valbarossa Hawkeye's flagship. Max and Campbell eventually fall out, and Fighting Thunder is ordered to destroy the SHIFT facility. After destroying the facility, Fighting Thunder attempts to escape, but Campbell spites Max and Fighting Thunder, sending out mobile weapons to attack them.

Following the attack on the SHIFT facility, Campbell was placed under custody of the VCD. Helga Lindenbaum confirmed all of Max and Eshiria's hypotheses of the Crystals, culminating with the conclusion that one of them is able to relay information to all other Crystals and the machines they contaminated, comparing it to Carl Jung's concept of the collective unconscious. Helga then orders Max and Eshiria to leave Earth's atmosphere and launch a counteroffensive against the Crystals on their homeworld.

Upon arriving to the Crystals' home planet, Max and Eshiria notice that there are no signs of life and is completely overrun with Crystals. Detecting large energy signatures underground, they order Fighting Thunder to penetrate the interior of the planet. Eshiria discovers that the atmospheric composition of the planet is exactly like Mars. The data that Fighting Thunder relayed to the ''Bellwether'' reveals that the large Crystals detected within the planet are made up of the same composition as water. Max, Eshiria, and Valbarossa Hawkeye realized that the Crystals' attacks over the past 17 years were not a normal alien invasion. Their true motives were to reset the planet Earth by annihilating all life on the planet through pollution and contaminating their weapons and machinery before cleaning up the pollution and making the planet habitable again.

The Crystals are intending to terraform Earth to make it like their home world, and it is likely they've done this to other worlds too, essentially spreading from one planet to the next by transforming them into copies of their original home world.

The game features multiple endings depending on how the player performed during gameplay. One ending has VCD return to the Solar System after the offensive against the Crystal homeworld to see what looks to be Mars, only to find out it was the Earth reduced to a lifeless red rock by the Crystals. Another ending has the ''Bellwether'' unable to return to Earth due to damage sustained during the final battle, but with the Earth celebrating the Fighting Thunder victory over the Crystals in their homeworld, Helga sends a rescue ship that will come for them in a month, and Max cautions everyone to stay vigilant in case of another attack in the future.

The series follows the chairman of the ruling political party in Poland (Mr Chairman). The narrative takes place primarily in his office where, joined by his assistant Mariusz, he hosts numerous visitors, including government officials and other public office holders. While Mr Chairman does not hold any elected office himself, it is clear that key political decisions are made in this office, and not in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (who herself frequents the office). The plot is deeply rooted in contemporary Polish politics, with each character having a real-life counterpart, with whom they share first names (their surnames are never revealed). The titular character of Mr Chairman is based on Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of the governing Law and Justice party.

''The Chairman's Ear'' is a continuation of a series of cabaret scenes named ''Government meeting'' (Polish: ''Posiedzenie rządu'') in which Robert Górski and other cabaret artists impersonated the members of the Civic Platform and the Polish People's Party.

In London, in 2032, society and public order have largely collapsed and there is a shortage of food and supplies. After the death of his wife Bea, chaplain Peter Leigh is contacted by USIC executive Vivian Hades and shown a video call by David Morgan, USIC co-owner and founder of the colony on the desert-like exoplanet, begging Peter to come to the colony. Peter travels to the colony and is initially received with scepticism by the crew as nobody had expected a chaplain to arrive, and there are doubts how a chaplain could be useful. Peter learns that there have been several lethal accidents that are believed to have been caused by hallucinations the colony members are experiencing, and that David Morgan has not returned from an exploration tour into the desert and is missing for several days. While Sara Keller goes jogging in the desert on one of the following mornings, she has a vision of her daughter (who actually is staying back on Earth) calling out for her mother in the dunes. Following this vision, Sara discovers the rover that had been used by David Morgan on his excursion, half sunk in the sand, with blood-stained wind shield. In the colony, Paul Halloran tells Peter about his racing horse that came to death on Halloran's wrongdoing, which he deeply regrets. Sara Keller insists that a search party should be formed to seek David Morgan, but Danesh, the colony's boss, refuses. The next day, while drilling for underground water, Paul Halloran experiences a vision of his dead horse, and attempting to reach for it, he steps into the operating drilling gear and is fatally wounded. The colony's crew and their leader, Danesh, conclude that the visions are not randomly caused by the environmental conditions but are some form of attack on the crew. Danesh invokes a state of alert and, with David Morgan missing, assumes the controlling position of the colony. Peter discovers a secret message in David Morgan's room and location coordinates. He takes a rover to go into the desert to the coordinate spot. He is stopped by Sara Keller, but she decides, apparently against Danesh's orders, to let Peter go and find out what happened to David Morgan. Peter ends up in a cave where he experiences an appearance of his deceased wife Bea.

Part One

Starlight is helping Twilight and Spike in the Castle of Friendship, when she receives an invitation back to her old village for the Sunset Festival they are holding, but fearful of being in a leadership role there again after what happened the last time when she was under the belief that cutie marks were evil, Starlight is hesitant to go. After being given advice by Princess Luna in her dream, Starlight explains her fears to the Mane Six, and at Twilight's suggestion, Starlight takes Trixie with her for support as she leaves to visit her old village.

However, once there, Starlight is swarmed by Double Diamond, Party Favor, Sugar Belle, Night Glider, and the other villagers, and overcome with fear, she panics, forcing Trixie to use one of her improved smoke bombs to allow her and Starlight to escape and return to Ponyville. However, once back in Ponyville, Starlight notices the Mane Six acting strangely, from not recognizing her name, to not knowing where she went, talking behind her back in disrespect, and even Twilight suggesting that she ''not'' return to her old village and cut her losses regarding friendship with them, when Twilight had encouraged Starlight to make friends previously. During another dream she has that night, Starlight discovers the truth as Princess Luna warns her that Queen Chrysalis and the changelings have returned before being captured by them herself, having mentioned they've taken her big sister, Princess Celestia, as well. Waking Trixie and making sure she's not a changeling, the two friends sneak back into the castle, and discover that the Mane Six and Spike have been replaced as well, meaning Chrysalis now has control of both Ponyville and Canterlot. Worse, Thorax arrives with more bad news from the Crystal Empire: Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart have been taken and replaced as well, meaning Chrysalis now has control of the Crystal Empire, and has the entire Royal Family and Mane Six as her prisoners.

As everyone laments who could help them now, Discord arrives, and after proving he's not a changeling fake as well, quickly joins the team when he learns that Fluttershy was kidnapped with everyone else, infuriating him. With a snap of his fingers, he transports the group of four to the edge of the Changeling Kingdom, where at the center, sits Chrysalis' hive, where she's holding the Royal Family and Mane Six prisoner. As everyone looks to Starlight for guidance and leadership, Starlight finds herself facing a difficult situation: If she can't lead her group into the hive and save the Mane Six and Royal Family, Equestria is doomed...

Part Two

With knowing their only option to stop Chrysalis' second attempt to conquer Equestria is to enter Queen Chrysalis' hive and save their friends, Starlight's team faces one final obstacle: Thorax explains that Chrysalis had anticipated that someone would come to save the Mane Six and Royal Family, as her throne is made from a dark stone that renders all non-changeling magic useless, including Discord's chaos magic alongside Starlight and Trixie's unicorn magic.

Left with only their wits and the equipment that they are carrying, Starlight's team enters the hive, using Thorax to lead them through the labyrinth of passageways to find Chrysalis' throne room, knowing that destroying the throne would give the Mane Six and Royal Family the chance to escape on their own once their magic was restored. However, when Thorax gets them lost, Discord alerts the hive to their presence, leading to where Discord draws off several of the guards, but is captured when several changelings impersonate Fluttershy, trying to convince him that one of them could be the real one, and another changeling that takes Discord's place forces Trixie to sacrifice herself to fall into an ambush while Starlight and Thorax split up to reach the throne room. Starlight gets there first, finding the throne, and hanging over it on the ceiling above, the cocoons containing the Mane Six, Spike, the Royal Family, and now Discord and Trixie as well, all trophies of Chrysalis and her Swarm. However, Chrysalis had been hiding among the cocoons, and ambushes Starlight with the rest of the hive, capturing her. However, it is soon revealed that the Starlight that Chrysalis had captured was actually Thorax, having disguised himself perfectly as her to try and draw Chrysalis off so Starlight could destroy the throne, which fails. Desperate, Starlight tries to reason with Chrysalis, using her own past to try and convince Chrysalis from doing the same thing, and then bringing up Thorax and how he was not as hungry as he originally was due to the friendships he made in the Crystal Empire. While Starlight's words draw interest from the changelings, Chrysalis refuses to listen to advice from a "mewling grub", and prepares to drain Thorax of the love energy inside him before punishing him for his treason. However, at Starlight's urging, Thorax does not let Chrysalis take the love energy from him by force, and instead gives it to her willingly, which results in Thorax undergoing a metamorphosis that transforms him into a more vibrant, colorful form.

At Starlight's encouragement, the rest of the changelings follow suit, and the resulting release of love energy destroys Chrysalis' throne and throne room, freeing the Mane Six, Royal Family, Discord, and Trixie from their cocoon prisons, and causes the changelings to assume similar forms to Thorax, ending their never-ending hunger. Chrysalis survives her throne's destruction, but outnumbered by her former followers and her former hostages, all seething mad at her for what she's put them through, she refuses Starlight's offer of redemption, swears revenge on Starlight for taking everything away from her, and escapes into the desert to parts unknown. With Chrysalis gone, Thorax is made the new Changeling King to begin rebuilding relationships between the changelings and ponies with Princess Celestia, and at Starlight's suggestion, the Mane Six, Royal Family, Discord, and Trixie, go with Starlight back to her old village to take part in the Sunset Festival, with Starlight happily accepting a leadership role there thanks to her experience with her recent adventure that helped her fit back into it.

The year was 1970. The senior men's Soviet Union national basketball team had changed its head coach. The team's new head coach, Vladimir Garanzhin (Vladimir Kondrashin), who was also the head coach of the Leningrad based BC Spartak basketball club, of the USSR Premier League; said at a press conference that at the Munich Summer Olympic Games, the Soviet Union was going to beat the U.S. men's national basketball team. The statements of the coach frightened Soviet sports officials, for whom their main goal was to perform strongly at the world's biggest sporting stage, in the year of the 50th anniversary of the Soviet Union, and keep their posts.

Vladimir Garanzhin completely changed the composition of the Soviet team, and it was no longer dominated by CSKA Moscow players, but instead the players from several different clubs of the country. Garanzhin also began training the team with new coaching techniques; he needed to inspire the team, and convince the players that they could beat the American team.

Up to the decisive game, both teams were unbeaten. And the outcome of the dramatic final match was decided in the last three seconds of the game...

Taking full advantage of his second chance at life, Touya befriends many different people, mainly women and high-ranking people in the new world. He begins to travel from country to country, solving political disputes, minor quests, and nonchalantly enjoying himself with his newfound allies.

The title character, Mr Carraway Pim, arrives at the Marden house to deliver a letter of introduction for George and is received first by Anne, then by Dinah, who tells Mr Pim about her life (including her engagement the night before) and the lives of her uncle George and aunt Olivia. Brian enters and converses with Dinah about his attempts to tell her uncle about their engagement. Olivia enters, having overheard part of the conversation, and is delighted to learn of the engagement. She offers to help break the news to her husband.

George enters, seeking out Mr Pim, who has since left; Olivia pushes the young couple to tell George of their engagement. While Olivia is optimistic about their future, George is heavily set against it, citing Brian's young, slow career as a "futuristic" artist as evidence that he and Dinah will be unable to support each other. George and Brian continue to clash on Brian's career, and George's views on marriage and politics before Olivia sends Brian and Dinah out for a walk. While they are out, Olivia tries to convince George of his hypocrisy and pessimism by questioning him on the motives behind ''their'' marriage, as well as their financial well-being. George stumbles and struggles to find answers for her questions while still justifying his decision regarding Brian and Dinah, while also becoming more and more impatient and uncomfortable with the black-and-orange curtains Olivia is sewing and planning to hang up. Olivia reminds George of the first man she fell in love with, and how her father had arranged for her to marry someone else, which resulted in a miserable marriage until her husband died.

After George leaves, Brian and Dinah come back. Olivia tells them that she thinks George will be fine with their marriage, though George hasn't made much progress in accepting them. Olivia also reminds them that Lady Marden is coming for lunch, after which Mr Pim returns. George returns to receive him. While talking to George and Olivia, Mr Pim tells them that he had just returned from a trip to Australia, and while on his way back, he had seen a man whom he had thought dead. He tells them the man's name was Telworthy, which was the name of Olivia's first husband, who had also lived (and was presumed to have died) in Australia. Before George and Olivia can consider the implications of this, Lady Marden arrives.

Act II

Olivia, Lady Marden, Dinah, George, and Brian prepare to have lunch on their terrace, as Anne follows with their coffee. Brian and Dinah retreat back indoors, where they again speak of their concerns about their marriage and George. Not long after, Olivia, George, and Lady Marden return inside. Olivia asks Dinah to show Lady Marden "the pigs" (which George keeps as pets) and they are joined by Brian. Alone at last, Olivia and George begin to tentatively discuss the news Mr Pim had brought them in Act I.

At first, George is in denial about the entire revelation, but Olivia reminds him that her late husband was the only Telworthy in Australia, so it must have been true. George then laments over having married Olivia while she was still another's wife, and expresses his desire to get their marriage annulled for the sake of the law and their publicity. Olivia reacts to this with some sadness and disbelief. She reminds him that they were happy together, and that she was happy to be away from her first husband. When George holds his position on the annulment, she begins to talk about going back to live with her first husband, which begins to make George angry and jealous. He tells her he doesn't ''want'' to send her away, but that he still feels as if he ''should'' because it is the right thing to do. They eventually decide to send for Mr Pim again, and consult Lady Marden.

Dinah returns for a brief moment before being sent by George to fetch Lady Marden and Brian, who are still outside. Before they all return, George is conflicted about whether to tell Dinah and Brian about Olivia's situation, but Olivia tells him that they should know. Upon hearing the news, Lady Marden is shocked, and refers to Olivia as a "bigamist," while Brian argues that George should fight for Olivia and prevent her from going back to her miserable marriage. Despite this, Lady Marden agrees that the marriage should be annulled, to the disgust of Brian, which causes him to land in another argument with George over morals and marriage before being sent out for another walk with Dinah. George again laments over his confusion; he understands that Olivia does not want to go back to her first husband, but he wants to do the right thing in the eyes of the law and public opinion. Olivia laments over George, the man she "didn't quite marry" in a last-chance-attempt to get him to fight for her. Mr Pim is then announced by Anne.

Mr Pim joins Lady Marden, George, and Olivia, who question him about Mr Telworthy again. After confirming it was him whom Mr Pim spoke of, they tell him of the situation regarding George's and Olivia's marriage, and ask Mr Pim where Mr Telworthy might be. Mr Pim tells them that after seeing him a few days before, Mr Telworthy had died in Marseille by choking on a fish-bone. Olivia jumps up in surprise and joy.

Act III

Olivia and George marvel over this new revelation, while Mr Pim regrets having delivered shocking news to the same family twice in one day. George hastily shows a still apologetic Mr Pim out, after which he expresses his relief and joy over Olivia's first husband still having died. Olivia puts a damper on the celebration when she reminds George that she was still technically married to her first husband up until a few days ago, when he was said to have perished by Mr Pim. George, however, has changed his attitude of anxiousness to one of optimism, remarking to Olivia that they can just remarry quietly at the registry office in London the following day.

Olivia, deciding to have a bit of fun, suggests that George ought to propose to her again if he wishes to marry her again. The two approach each other and become engaged while putting on the shy, cheeky demeanour of a new young couple. Olivia further taunts George by inquiring whether he can afford to support a wife, and whether he is thinking about their future, as "love may seem to be all that matters" with a new engagement. George grows impatient, realising that Olivia is using the situation to change his mind about Brian and Dinah's engagement. After arguing about whether Olivia will accept George's proposal, or whether she would stay in his house should she refuse it, George storms off in anger. Mr Pim uses this opportunity to return – this time, by the window – hoping to leave before George returns. He tells Olivia that he got the name wrong since the beginning – the man whom he had known from Australia, whom he had met on his way back, and whom had died from choking on a fish-bone was named Pelwittle, not Telworthy as he had led everyone to believe. He explains to Olivia how Dinah that told him of Olivia and her previous marriage to Telworthy and her residence in Australia with him, which had led to his mixing up the two names.

Olivia confirms that Mr Telworthy had indeed died before she'd married George, and while she thanks Mr Pim – who is apologising yet again for the mix-up – Dinah and Brian come in. They are delighted to see Mr Pim again, and are oblivious to the conversation which had just taken place. Olivia sends them to see Mr Pim out. Brian stays behind momentarily to tell Olivia that he is "on her side" about the annulment situation, after which Olivia reveals to him her conversation with Mr Pim. Before he can say anything more, she sends him off when she hears George returning. George enters humming, appearing to have calmed down a bit. He observes the room and its decor, as well as the curtains Olivia is working on, which he had detested at the beginning of the play. To Olivia's surprise, George (who is established to be very old-fashioned) remarks that they should perhaps consider redecorating the room, to brighten it up a bit, and commends Olivia's curtains. It is evident that he wishes to take Olivia to London to be married again from his suggesting that they buy new carpet and furnishings to match the curtains.

Olivia tells George that she told Brian and Dinah that Mr Pim had made a mistake with the name (without telling George that the mistake actually happened) so that Brian and Dinah think that Olivia and George had been truly married the whole time. George, not realizing that the mistake was real, asked Olivia if she was actually considering marrying him again, quietly. Coyly, Olivia tells him yes, which greatly pleases George; he proceeds to shower Olivia with affection and offers to buy her whatever new furnishings she should want in London the following day. They embrace, during which Brian and Dinah re-enter and remark on Mr Pim's big mistake. George, still believing that the "mistake" was a lie, plays along with them, to the enjoyment of Olivia.

George invites Brian to look at the pigs, while Olivia and Dinah converse about Olivia's trip to London with George; Dinah thinks they are going strictly for shopping. Olivia attempts to hang up her curtains, but realises she needs George's help. Dinah calls for him, and he returns with Brian, who happily tells Dinah that George has agreed to their marriage after all. As they share in celebration, George steps back to regard Olivia's new curtains, now seeming to have adopted a new appreciation for them. As the four of them sit in the room, Mr Pim again returns, this time to tell them that he got the first name of the Pelwittle man wrong – though he originally told them it was ''Henry'' Pelwittle, his name was actually ''Ernest'' Pelwittle.

Twenty-eight years have passed since the events of ''Babylon's Ashes'' and Earth is back on its feet after the attack that crippled the planet in ''Nemesis Games''. The crew of the aging gunship ''Rocinante'' are still together, working contracts for the Transport Union, who have control of the Ring station and the 1,300 worlds the gates lead to. No one has heard from Admiral Duarte and his rogue fleet in the thirty years since they broke away from the Martian Congressional Republic Navy, until now.

The film centres around a young woman named Amy Tyler, who books a surprise holiday to Europe with her boyfriend Josh Merit. However, the two separate before they are able to go onto the trip; therefore, she advertises her tickets online in search for another man with an identical name to her ex-boyfriend to go on the tour instead. The story, although written in 2012, bore similarities to a 2014 case of a 28-year-old Toronto man named Jordan Axani, who offered up free tickets to on Reddit a girl named Elizabeth Gallagher, when he broke up with his girlfriend of the same name. Although his ticket had a strict no-transfer policy, as passport information was not required when booking, the ticket could be used by anyone with the same name.

When a BuzzFeed article about the story became popular, the script was given "new life". Brendan Bradley said that "I wrote this script five years ago", Bradley said, "and everyone told me ... 'This would never happen! This is too unrealistic!' And the project didn’t get any traction because everyone thought the premise was too crazy. And then it happened in real life."

Set in the Venezuelan countryside, the story begins with a pact of love between 2 children: Orquídea and Radamés who swear eternal love for each other to the Virgin Mary. As they grow older, their love becomes stronger. But their destinies change forever when Orquídea's powerful step-father Don Teófilo Córdoba plans to marry her off to Vladimir Arévalo, a rich, older businessman with a son from a previous marriage. Orquídea is disgusted with the idea and plans to run off with Radamés, a humble worker at her step-father's hacienda. However, they are caught, and as a means of breaking up their relationship forever, the cruel Teófilo forces Radamés to become a witness at Orquídea's wedding, leading her to believe that he betrayed her. After the wedding celebration, Orquídea plans to run away but is locked up by Bernardo, Teófilo's trusted servant, and her new husband abuses her. Filled with rage, Orquídea swears revenge. One night, by bribing Bernardo, she locates her step-father at his lover's hut and sets fire to it, and Teófilo dies from smoke inhalation. Next, Orquídea proceeds to get revenge on Radamés by having him captured and using an ax, cuts off the hand he used to sign her marriage certificate as a witness.

With Rosalinda expecting a child, Héctor informs Vladimir about his plans to marry her. But just before the birth of his daughter and after discovering that Orquídea planned the death of his father, he dies in a car accident. Distressed, Rosalinda goes to the hacienda and meets Orquídea who realises that her child will be the sole heir of the whole property, thereby impending her plans. She cruelly chases Rosalinda out of the hacienda and orders her goons to go after her in the forest to kill her and her child. Luckily, Rosalinda meets a Dominican priest who helps her give birth to a girl whom he baptises María de los Ángeles.

She becomes infuriated when she discovers Radamés, the only man she has ever loved, is married to Rosalinda, and decides to make her and her daughter suffer. After framing her for a crime she did't commit and having her sold as a sex slave, María is presumed to be dead. However, she appears years later, transformed and powerful, to punish her cruel Aunt Orquídea and claim her rightful fortune.

The movie shows scenes of Foley's life and career, interspersed between two of Foley's friends being interviewed on the radio and his final performance and recording.

This mystery, family drama revolves around Victor Buenavidez (Albert Martinez), a good father to his sons, Enzo (Jerome Ponce) and Calvin (Nash Aguas), carrying a secret: another son, Joseph Reyes (later changed to Buenavidez) (Joshua Garcia). Joseph and his half brother Obet (McCoy de Leon) grow up fatherless, each from a different father. Victor returns to Joseph's life and things are starting to get better for their family, but Victor dies suddenly in Joseph's home. The two families collide, shocking their two sons and devastating Olivia Buenavidez (Eula Valdez), Victor's widow. Olivia turns her anger on Raquel (Mylene Dizon), Joseph's mother, and blames her for her husband's untimely death.

The autopsy reveals poison in Victor's system, his death turns into a homicide investigation. Olivia quickly points the blame on the Reyes family. Victor's Will further complicates matters when Joseph and Raquel are named co-heirs with the first family, with Joseph receiving equal shares as his two other brothers, Enzo and Calvin. The will stipulates Joseph must complete his education in the same private school as his brothers, and upon graduating university, share in the management of the company with Enzo. Aside from a lump sum bequest, Raquel is also given a seat in the board.

The investigation intensifies as suspicions shift from Joseph and Raquel to Calvin and Olivia. While the siblings try to deal with the new family dynamics, Olivia continues to cast aspersions on the Reyes family, specifically Raquel and Joseph. Joseph pursues his own investigation and discovers leads which he provides the police, further angering Olivia.

As clashes between both families escalate in the school campus and the boardroom, the investigation leads to Dado Castillo (Jeric Raval), the Buenavidez family driver. Dado and Olivia grew up together despite the fact that Dado's father was their servant. As children, Olivia leaned on Dado as her protector against her father's harsh disciplinary upbringing. He falls in love with her but she marries Victor. In one moment of weakness, when Victor and Olivia's marriage is under a lot of strain, Olivia and Dado spend the night together and Calvin is conceived. Victor learns the truth when Dado secretly leaks the DNA result on his desk bureau for him to find, information that sparked his and Olivia's separation.

The discovery of their mother's affair and Calvin's paternity devastate the boys, while the lies and coverups intensifies. The coverup attempts lead to Chief investigator SPO1 Colminares’ murder by Dado, creating an enormous impact on Calvin's mental state and he further regresses into Psychosis.

As Joseph's investigation leads him closer to the truth, Olivia pressures Dado to kill Joseph. When Dado is captured, he confesses to the assault and attempted murder of the Reyeses, the murder of SP01 Colmenares (Michael Rivero) and admits to poisoning Victor. The police are skeptical because they have concrete evidence that Dado had an accomplice who Colmenares struggled with before he died. Their suspicions come from hair samples obtained from Colmenares’ hands when he died. DNA tests conclude the hair strands are not Dado's, but its DNA has an 89.7% chance that the hair belongs to his relative. Hazel (Loisa Andalio) is eliminated because she is adopted. While all these are happening, Olivia attempts to flee to America with her sons to start a new life. A departure hold is placed against her and they are detained just before they board. She is arrested for trying to abscond with company funds and Estafa charges are filed against her by BDG (“Buenavidez de Guzman Group”).

The departure hold affects Calvin the hardest as his mental state deteriorates even further and his schizophrenic personalities begin to emerge. He hears voices in his head, warnings that the truth will destroy him. Enzo's concern for Calvin increases and promises to be there for his brother but he is conflicted when he discovers more lies from his mother, her embezzlement of BDG funds. He wants to reach out to Hazel but is torn between covering up his family's secrets, or doing the right thing and get help for his brother. Calvin's psychiatrist strongly recommends confinement in a psych facilities for his psychotic episodes.

At Olivia's Estafa trial, the court hears testimony from Randy Villamanca, BDG's former head of finance, attesting that he has been diverting company funds to Olivia's offshore accounts under her specific instructions. But his testimony is questioned when the funds are missing from her secret offshore account. Just when it looks like Olivia's careful lies unravel, the unthinkable happens when the court grants her a not guilty verdict for lack of evidence. Olivia's lawyers point out there is no evidence that proves Olivia received the funds. While Olivia dodges a bullet, Anthony (John Estrada) and Ernesto (Art Acuña) appeal the verdict. Strangely, Anthony instructs Villamanca to hide.

Despite Olivia's courtroom triumphs, Calvin's mental health quickly deteriorates, his paranoia pushes him to break into Anthony's home. Anthony and Joseph catch him and after a violent altercation with Joseph, turn him over to authorities. This time, police focus on Calvin's alibi, Justine (Alexa Ilacad), threatening her with possible charges of obstruction of justice. Not wanting to drag her into all this, Calvin admits the truth about the evening Colmenares was murdered. He is jailed overnight as an accomplice for murder and obstruction of justice but released on bail the next day.

Calvin breaks down at his pre-hearing, prompting a motion for a court appointed psychiatrist to determine if Calvin is competent to stand trial. Olivia finally admits to Enzo that Calvin poisoned his father to stop him from leaving their family. The next day, Calvin confesses the same truth to the court appointed psychiatrist. The explosive information sends the entire extended family reeling. Olivia looks to Dado and Arthur to fix her problems - two persons personally invested in Olivia's triumph. Dado tells Olivia that he would testify that he stopped Calvin from serving the poison when he purposely spilled the contents of the glass. Meanwhile, Arthur, who has his own score to settle with Anthony, accepts Olivia's payment to find the stolen company funds from Anthony and bring down his rival.

Later, Anthony becomes the new person of interest. Olivia tracks Villamanca hiding in a safe house arranged by Anthony Buenavidez, but escapes. Police investigators review CCTV footage and learn that Anthony and Victor had an argument in their office the evening of his death, after the birthday dinner and before Victor headed for the Reyes. Unfortunately, Anthony and Villamanca are missing. Joseph and Raquel struggle to comprehend the latest developments regarding Anthony and find it hard to believe that he killed Victor. But soon after Anthony is officially named a suspect in his brother's murder, the police investigation goes into a tailspin when Anthony is found dead. Solving Victor's death is far from over as twist after twist occur and persons or interest are murdered. A new lead investigator is brought in to bring a third eye into the investigation. Meanwhile, Dado attempts to take matters in his own hands and kidnaps Calvin, a situation that forces Olivia to join him in a remote rural island in the province outside Manila where they live as a family. Their disappearance alarms Matilda (Olivia's mother) who subsequently has a stroke. There are no sightings of the trio, but Calvin calls Justine from time to time and tells her he is happy and peaceful in his new surroundings. Olivia's unwillingness to seek help from the authorities raises suspicions with Enzo and Joseph.

While authorities continue to search for them, BDG struggles financially as stockholders try to pull out. Nonetheless, Raquel convinces them to give her franchise concept a chance to work. In two months, the company is back on its feet. The franchise model takes off, saving BDG from bankruptcy, once again gaining the confidence from its stockholders. Ernesto successfully sells the idle agricultural land that had weighed heavily on the company's neck, selling it profitably under a rezoned commercial property, further adding financial value to the company. In just two months, BDG's financial hemorrhage caused by Olivia's siphoning stopped under Raquel's and Ernesto's able guardianship. BDG is back on its feet, emerging even richer than before. But just as the company recovers, another tragedy strikes while the company celebrates a thanksgiving dinner with their clients and employees.

Back at the Island, Olivia and Calvin escape from Dado, immediately contacting Enzo. Entangled in her web of lies, she refuses to go to the police, a covert maneuver to impede exposure. Instead, they rush into the company thanksgiving party, where Dado, who had been following them, unleashes his fury at the crowd, shooting innocent guests. Raquel attempts to bring Calvin to safety, ending up at the rooftop of the building. Both Enzo and Joseph try to disarm Dado but he overcomes the two brothers. As Raquel and Olivia run to help their sons, Dado pushes Raquel over the edge of the building. Joseph tries to hold on to Raquel but her hand slips and she falls to her death. Dado escapes with Calvin.

When the authorities pursue both Dado and Calvin at the ferry boat, a furious Arthur catches up and shoots him. Dado falls into the ocean, his body is never retrieved and Calvin wanders away. Always the chronic liar, Olivia uses her self-inflicted wounds to describe abuse under the hands of Dado, a story the authorities and Enzo don't believe. Enzo suspects his mother knows the truth about his father's murder, and that Dado holds that secret over her head. Joseph has similar suspicions and reports it to the police: all of them at the rooftop heard Dado threaten to expose the truth about Olivia if she and Calvin didn't go with him.

Raquel's death places a tremendous strain on Joseph and Obet's psyche. Consumed with guilt over his failure to save her, Joseph's anger clouds his good heart. Obet is filled with rage at the Buenavidezes, towards his brother and is led further astray by his father, fueling their desire for revenge. Enzo recognizes his mother's lies as the root of it all, and asks her how any resolution could occur if she can't face the truth. He wonders if protecting his family is the right thing to do.

Finale

Raquel's death triggers a series of events that further pit the families against each other. Without Raquel's moral compass, particularly for her wayward son, Obet, the two boys are consumed with anger, cast adrift in an ocean of revenge, its currents controlled by a mentally ill Olivia. Grandfather Matias is helpless and his efforts to guide them is in vain. Joseph has an ugly physical confrontation with Olivia when she expresses her intention to return to BDG. Likewise, Obet continues on his trajectory towards his father's criminal path. Aside from purchasing a hand gun, Obet violently assaults Olivia outside her home. Things all come to a head when he threatens to push Matilda from the top of the hospital exit stairwell, leading to his arrest. Although the fiscal throws out the case for lack of probable cause, Arthur decides he has nothing to lose by revealing to the authorities his own bombshell: he colluded with Olivia to interfere with the investigation, that Olivia engaged his services not once but twice: first time was to lie about Raquel and implicate her in Victor's death which he refused, and the second time was to obtain evidence that she could use against Anthony in which he got paid. A pathological liar, Olivia admits to the meetings but quickly asserts that Arthur was extorting her.

Meanwhile, the Reyeses and the Buenavidezes receive threatening anonymous notes and suspect it is coming from Dado. Panicked over what Dado can divulge to all, Olivia searches for him. Still missing and without his medication, Calvin begins to lose touch with reality, his mind going back to the trauma of his father's death. He speaks of being wrongfully blamed for the poisoning, where in fact he claims there were two people who worked together to kill his father.

Tired of his mother's lies and the never ending hate, Enzo decides he will fight for the only thing he has: his father's legacy. Embarking on his own investigation, he starts in Anthony's home searching for any paper trail that would lead him to his uncle's last steps and shed light on what really happened to him, and why. Finding the truth and exposing it could permanently destroy his family or heal it.

Joseph, on the other hand, is close to unmasking the perpetrators. His idea to send anonymous notes to Olivia works. Panicked and fearful of exposure by Dado, she is followed by Joseph and leads him to Calvin. Calvin has a moment of clarity and discovers his dad's real killer. He contacts Justine to tell her he will warn his father of the killers’ plans. Justine alerts Enzo who rushes to Calvin's location (“at our dad’s safe place”) accompanied by Olivia but Calvin is fearful of them and runs away. Joseph, following Olivia, arrives to help but another altercation between Enzo and Joseph allows Calvin to slip away once more.

Joseph eventually finds Calvin and brings him into sanctuary in a convent. Determined to unnerve Olivia, he sends her another anonymous note claiming he has Calvin, further rattling Olivia who thinks it is Dado. Meanwhile, Olivia finds Villamanca and roughs him up who eventually gives her access to the funds which Anthony had instructed to transfer back to Victor's company for his three sons to inherit. Olivia prepares to retrieve the missing funds!

Believing she is at the home stretch, Olivia arranges to leave the country with her sons and mother as soon as she finds Calvin. Elsewhere at the ocean, fishermen find Dado's corpse, dead from gunshot wounds sustained from Arthur's attack.

Now suspecting that Joseph is sending the notes, Enzo and Obet follows him to the convent and a violent confrontation ensues culminating with a near tragic ending. Joseph saves Obet and Enzo from plunging to their deaths and the near death shakes them. The siblings realize their mistakes and iron out their differences, as they discover the awful truth about Olivia: in a recorded conversation between Olivia and Dado, the brothers hear her admitting she poisoned Victor and planned to hide behind Calvin's illness. Realizing that Olivia manipulated everything in her twisted and mentally ill mind, they decide to flush out their mother. Used to her expert manipulation to get away with murder, Enzo turns himself in as bait, an act that shakes Olivia's core, but does not admit anything. Despite Enzo's false confession to the authorities and risk to his future, Olivia continues to use legal due process while she surreptitiously arranges for new identification documents for her family to leave the country, which she plans to do as soon as she finds Calvin. Enzo has an intense conversation with his mother when he shows her the audio recording and begs her to make things right, but Olivia vehemently denies everything. Joseph decides to file charges against Enzo, both hoping Olivia will break when she sees her son in jail.

At prison, Arthur continues to urge Obet to seek revenge on the Buenavidezes but Obet is no longer under his father's bad influence. Enzo later visits his grandmother Matilda and tells her the reason why he confessed a lie, he thought his mother couldn't bear her son taking the rap for her crime and would owe up to the truth, but she didn't. Horrified at the turn of events, that her grandsons are suffering the most cruel punishment for their mother's sins, proves cathartic for Matilda who admits her hand in Olivia's abusive childhood, and her husband Enrico's cruelty towards their daughter created a selfish and mentally ill individual who sought to be loved manipulates and lies to survive. She asks Enzo to forgive her.

Meanwhile, Olivia is determined to escape with her mother and two sons. She abducts Enzo by drugging him but he manages to call Joseph who brings the authorities. After a brief hostage situation where Olivia finally admits killing Victor, she escapes and Enzo is taken in. Calvin returns to the mental facility to recover from his mental illness.

For a few weeks, a brief period of calm follows as authorities pursue Olivia, now a fugitive. Enzo is released and reunites with Joseph. Calvin comes to terms with his fears and begins to heal. Obet realizes the error of his envy and reconciles with Joseph. Unknown to them, Olivia is nearby planning her final revenge. She hires an assassin to poison Joseph during his birthday party.

The finale episode depicts the parallel lives of Victor and Joseph's birthdays. Joseph's birthday begins with his first waking moments, full of hope and optimism about his family. He enjoys a traditional breakfast with his brother and grandfather, his first birthday without his mother, but joyous nonetheless over their renewed lives and second chances, climaxing to his birthday party, a toast and subsequent collapse from the poisoned drink.

Victor's last birthday also begins with his first waking moments: he is decisive on the changes he was about to make for his family; he spends breakfast with Olivia and his children, and the rest of the day was executing his legalization of Joseph, and executing documents to make things right for his three sons and Raquel. Flashback scenes intersperse with present day, revealing Olivia's anger at discovering his plan, her slipping the poison into Victor's champagne, and her toast to him before he leaves their home, and it climaxes to his collapse and death.

The authorities are closing in on Olivia, who won't leave without her sons. An anonymous caller tips the police on her whereabouts and after a brief chase, she crashes into a tree as her car bursts into flames engulfing her. In her hospital death bed, she apologizes to her sons for her crimes and the sufferings they went through because of her revenge. Joseph survives the poison attempt and visits her to tell her he forgives her. Olivia asks for Joseph's forgiveness as well, and she dies shortly.

The last scenes are a time skip to two important events in the lives of Enzo and Joseph Buenavidez. The mystery of Anthony's motives before he was killed is revealed when the two are advised by Anthony's lawyer that the money Anthony hid from Olivia was to protect the three boys until they solved Victor's murder case. With Olivia's confession, the money was released for the three boys to inherit. Victor and Anthony's will also provides for Calvin whom Victor never stopped regarding as his son. The second event was the two boys’ graduation from Brizard College. At the grad ceremonies, all their friends and loved ones are in attendance. Obet reunites with Sabina, as Hazel with Joseph. The closing scene shows the four boys in front of the grave of Victor, sealing their relationship, with Obet as their , Calvin fully healed and all four ready to embark on their new lives as siblings.

This novel begins with Gin and her roommate, Gloria, in their apartment. Readers learn that Gin makes her money from taxi driving and that she works at a garage under a Russian man named Alex who is constantly sexually harassing her. However, this does not seem to faze Gin, because this is what happened at the other garage where she worked under the dispatcher Kenny.

Several days later, Gin picks up a passenger named Clyde. Clyde and Gin sleep together and Gin is interested in him, but the relationship is broken off when Gloria sleeps with him. Gin is so distraught that she contemplates suicide, but then destroys all of Gloria's paintings in the apartment. Because she no longer has a place to live, she moves in with Talibe, her husband from Mali. He and Gin do not get along very well because their different cultural upbringings clash. The only reason Gin married him was so that she could get a green card.

Another day Gin is hanging out with a couple of other taxi drivers at a bar. One of these taxi drivers, Geoffrey, tells her that the only way for a taxi driver to make money is to cheat the customers by messing with the meter and using a book with fake prices. Ginny refuses because she does not want to get fined. Geoffrey and his friend, Sengane, talk about the times they have murdered some aggressive passenger while they were driving.

While she is living with Talibe he asks her to marry his cousin, Ouagadougou, because Ouagadougou needs a green card. Gin initially refuses because she does not want to get in trouble with the authorities and risk deportation herself. However, she gives in because Talibe threatens to divorce her and marry someone else who will agree to marry as many of his family members as he needs. The day after her wedding with Ouagadougou, one of Talibe's friends calls Gin telling her that Talibe was shot while taxi driving.

While Talibe is recovering in the hospital, he is distressed because he had a blood transfusion. In Mali culture, blood is very important, and Talibe is disgusted that the blood inside him is not his. He is also confused because he was shot while wearing his protective amulet, and he does not understand why the magic does not protect him. While Talibe could have gotten better, he died because his whole belief system crumbled.

Once Talibe dies, Gin wants to find another place to live because she does not want to go back to their apartment. She goes to her old boss, Kenny, and asks if she can stay with him for a while, but he refuses because, unbeknownst to her, he has a wife and kids. Gin then returns to Gloria to ask to stay at her place, but when she returns to her old apartment and sees Gloria, she realizes that she is still not over the betrayal and runs back to Talibe's apartment. When she arrives at her apartment Ouagadougou is waiting for her. Because she is his wife, he argues, they should live together. Gin gives in, and Ouagadougou moves into the apartment with her.

After Talibe's death Gin takes a couple of weeks off taxi-driving. When she returns to Alex's garage he has a brand-new fleet of taxis. She also visits Kenny, and he gives her a knife to protect herself while taxi driving. However, Gin feels less safe with the knife in her bag.

One night when she was picking up customers, a passenger gets into her taxicab who gives Gin a bad vibe. He is not clear in his directions, but eventually they end up underneath Macombs Dam Bridge next to an abandoned part of Jackie Robinson Park. The passenger pulls a gun on her and starts telling her how he is going to kill her like he killed other people in that spot. While listening to his description of his last kill, Gin realizes that this is the man who killed her husband. When the man asks for her money, she hands it to him through the partition and cuts him with the knife that Kenny gave her. The man pulls his hand back and his gun flies into the front seat. Gin gets out of the car and starts running, but Stanley, the robber, tackles her. When she is falling, she flips the knife behind her and it sinks into Stanley's heart; killing him instantly.

Once she has made sure that he is dead she cleans up the scene as best she can and drives away. For the next couple of months, she is paranoid that the police are going to find out who killed this man and arrest her, but nothing happens. She continues to work, and she discovers that Alex's new fleet of taxis are stolen police cars. However, because she has killed someone she does not see how breaking the law is such a big deal anymore. She also starts making more money by cheating her passengers using the tricks that Geoffrey and Kenny taught her. The book ends with Gin driving out of New York in her yellow taxi with an unknown lover to see the rest of the United States.

Justice Scalia is entering a new term of the Supreme Court and reviewing applications for law clerks to serve in his office during the coming year. One of the applications he receives is from Cat, a recent woman graduate from law school who wishes to be his law clerk and who also has firmly held liberal beliefs. Scalia is intrigued and invites her for an interview. The interview leads to heated exchanges in which the potential law clerk makes strong assertions about her liberal beliefs and claims that these convictions do not mean she is unqualified to be a clerk for a conservative Justice of the Court. When Scalia protests, Cat asserts herself as a practicing Roman Catholic who has an equal voice in representing her legal opinions concerning cases coming before the Court. After some further verbal sparring, Scalia agrees to take her on as his law clerk and as someone capable of making reasoned arguments on positions which do not necessarily align completely with his own.

Soon after she becomes his clerk, legal blogs begin reporting personal details of Scalia's new law clerk and details of her personal life. She feels compelled to present these to Scalia prior to them being made public in the press and causing possible embarrassment to Scalia in that way. She admits to being part of the LGBT movement and that she is involved in an LGBT relationship. Rather than becoming angry, Scalia indicates that he is better-informed than she may have thought and that he had received a preliminary report of this matter through his own review of some of the legal blogs. He accepts her statement and she continues as his legal clerk.

While clerking for Scalia she has further confrontations with both Scalia and his other highly conservative law clerk. At one point, Scalia requires her to join him at a shooting range, and he teaches her to shoot a rifle. Unexpectedly, the two are able to debate issues of the Court further in a manner suggesting that Scalia is more open-minded than often-stated opinions of him as an arch-conservative. Their mutual animosity and differences of opinion begin to shift considerably when Scalia appears to suffer from heart palpitations, and she quickly comes to his side to assist him as best she can. Later, when her own father appears to become mortally ill and on his death bed, Scalia offers his own sympathy for her imminent loss. The play ends with the two of them reconciling to that fact that both their differences and their similarities appear to signify more than the direct review of the cases coming before the Court in the particular year when she is one of his law clerks.

The story is all about four friends Romario, Riyas, Yudas and Athmaram. The story develops into a new turn when Romario's childhood friend Riya comes to their college to study. The four friends try hard to woo Riya. At that time, Riya and Romario leave to Goa and send his friends pictures which he actually faked, and it was to make them believe that they had sex in the hotel. At the same time, Riya's brother spots her there and takes her back home and informs her dad about the matter. Later, the situation turns out as if Riya is pregnant and Roamrio should marry her. Romario confesses to his friends that nothing of that sort has happened, but they do not believe him at first. Later it is revealed that it was Riya who fooled her father she is pregnant, for marrying Romario. At last it is revealed that it was Romario who brought her from Bangalore to Kerala in-order to marry her and become rich. Later they get married.

Act 1

''Harlem, 1928.'' Billie and Othello discuss his infidelity with an unnamed white woman.

''Harlem, Present.'' Billie lives in a walkup at the intersection of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Boulevard in Harlem, NY. She is emotionally and intellectually broken as her husband, Othello, has left her for a white colleague named Mona. Billie is supported by her landlady and by Amah, her sister-in-law (her brother Andrew's wife), while she writes and lives as a shut-in.

''Southern US, 1860.'' Othello, here a slave and blacksmith, woos Billie by gifting her his mother's handkerchief.

''Harlem, Present.'' Billie is experimenting with chemical tonics and warns Amah that they are deadly if ingested. She ignores the ringing phone, believing it to be Othello - Amah suggests it may be Billie's estranged father, Canada. Othello finally arrives with Mona (who is never seen on stage) to retrieve his things. He and Billie begin to divide their books and dive into a conversation on race relations and how cultural pressures impacted their marriage. Eventually, Othello kisses Billie and they make love. Afterwards, he brushes her off and lies to Mona in front of her.

''Southern US, 1860.'' Othello tells Billie that he will not flee to Canada with her because he has fallen in love with his white mistress, 'Miss Dessy'.

''Harlem, Present.'' Billie prepares to move out of the apartment she shared with Othello. He returns with her pot, and with news: he is reneging on his promise to pay for one of her graduate school courses, and he and Mona are engaged. He attempts to defend himself by saying that being with white women is easier.

''Harlem, 1928.'' Othello is dead on the floor, holding his handkerchief. Billie stands over him with a bloody straight razor.

''Harlem, Present.'' Billie concocts a potion and pours it over Othello's handkerchief, but before she can enact her plan, Magi interrupts with news of a visitor. It is Billie's long-absent father, Canada.

Act 2

''Harlem, Present.'' Billie takes tea with Canada, who is eager to reunite with her. He presents her with her mother's ring and tries to make plans to visit again, but she is uncertain. The next day, Othello is back and Billie tells him she wants to return his handkerchief (given to earlier Billie in 1860), but that she needs a few days to 'find' it.

''Southern US, 1860.'' Othello is lynched by hanging. Billie tells a story of a black man who wished to be white to his body.

''Harlem, Present.'' Billie prepares the poisoned handkerchief and places it in a red box for Othello. In the process, she stains her hands with the solution and panics. She becomes violently ill (or possibly high), and Canada and Magi have an awkward conversation as they wait for her to recover. She finally emerges, and reconciles with Canada as he holds her and apologizes for being absent for so long.

''Harlem, 1928.'' Othello and Billie sit in a dressing room as Billie shaves him. He claims he will never wear Blackface on stage, and says he is of Ira Aldridge stock, a great Black actor. Then he reveals that his White lover Mona is giving him the opportunity to play Pericles, Prince of Tyre. Billie cuts his throat with the razor.

''Harlem, Present''. Billie confesses to Magi that she plans to give Othello the poisoned handkerchief, but Magi argues that if African magic worked, the masters of slaves in the 1800s would have died a thousand times over. Billie is sick with anger and half-starved. She fantasizes (or remembers) seeing the apartment for the first time with Othello. They jump over a broom together, a traditional ceremony of marriage, and the memory dissipates. Magi takes Billie into the kitchen to feed her.

Later, Canada is cleaning the kitchen and encounters Othello, looking for the promised handkerchief. Othello sees the red box Billie prepared before her breakdown and takes it, telling Canada to say goodbye to Billie as she is absent.

''Harlem, 1928.'' Othello is alone in a dressing room, dressing in tails and a top hat. He practices Othello's speech to Desdemona's father while applying black greasepaint - by the end of the speech he is in full Blackface.

''Harlem, Present.'' Billie sings - she is in the psychiatric ward of Harlem Hospital where she is cared for by white doctors. Amah visits her. Canada enters and promises that he will not leave Billie alone again. Billie and Canada sing Aretha Franklin's version of Spanish Harlem together as the lights go down.

The film begins with a young Aoi Hinata sitting on a bench, upset about the broken record in her hands. A young Riku suddenly appears and claims he can fix the record. Immediately it's the present day and university student Aoi Hinata (Miwa) drops the book she's holding and jerks awake, disrupting the class. This is the summer before Aoi's study abroad to London. Apart from school, Aoi plays in a band with her friends, Naoya, Tetta and her childhood friend Riku (Kentaro Sakaguchi). Rina isn't in the band, but attends practices. Aoi and Riku appear to harbor some affection towards each other. Practice goes smoothly after that and Riku quickly announces that he has other things to do, to the confusion and bewilderment of his band members. The crew marvels if he's a perfect man and ask Aoi if Riku has any weaknesses. She can't think of a single one.

In preparation for their concert on Sunday, July 31, the crew put up flyers and paint signs. As Aoi and Rina paint, Aoi is dismayed by Riku's distantness, but maintains that she's content with staying friends with Riku throughout the summer. Riku nonchalantly pulls away the board they're painting, remarking it'll be dirty. Seconds later, a burst pipe showers water on all of the friends. Everyone except Riku are completely soaked. Once the band's all packed and ready, Naoya pulls Riku aside and tells him he plans to confess to Aoi at the shrines. While the crew is having sushi, Naoya's plan to confess to Aoi goes awry when he can't seem to invite her to the shrines, leading him to blurt out his confession in front of the crew. Aoi feels awkward because she has feelings for Riku and doesn't know what to say. Later on, she visits Riku's house to work on their song. While waiting for him, she explores his room and stumbles upon a record and record player in his closet. Riku appears suddenly and tells her not to touch the record, placing the record back carefully and hiding it from view, saying that some things shouldn't be seen. The pair work on their new song and become awkward with their feelings when comparing hands. Out of nowhere, Riku tells Aoi that if he ever disappear somewhere, she should be happy with Naoya. Aoi hurriedly gathers the pieces of their new song and tells him to forget it. The day of the concert arrives and Aoi still feels conflicted from yesterday's events. Unable to concentrate, the band performs terribly. Further upset by the concert, Aoi storms off. Crying and walking, she pulls out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, but lets a piece of the song lyrics fall out. As she chases the piece of paper into the street, she doesn't notice the truck hurdling towards her. The screen turns back.

Aoi wakes up in the same class as before, complete confused and disorientated. The day repeats like before, with brand practice and Riku one step ahead of everyone else. Aoi bursts out in frustration and tells her friends to stop pretending, to their confusion. Now knowing that Rina likes Naoya, Aoi fiercely affirms her friendship with Rina to the point of tears. Rina accepts her passion with confusion. When the same pipe bursts, Aoi darts over to Riku, who looks at her in shock and asks her why she moved. When she tells him that it's because the same thing happened a week ago, he laughs at her. Aoi thinks Riku is mocking her and storms off. Later on, the two sit in front of a sunset, where Riku reveals that he knows how Aoi died that day. He reveals his secret: he's been cheating with his record player of life, which gives him the ability to go back in time. Aoi doesn't believe him at first. He says he didn't either before guideing Aoi's hand to the needle and places it down on a groove and she wakes up once again in the same classroom as before, this time aware of the time rewind.

Aoi runs of out class to look for Riku, who tells her he told her so. She asks him what he means by cheating and he asks her if she remembers the first time he played guitar for her. On that day, it had been young Aoi's birthday. She had broken her late father's record and went to Riku's uncle's shop to ask if he could fix. When he says it's not possible, she leaves visibly deflated. Riku, eavesdropping the whole time, takes matters into his own hands and turns back time one day. From then on, he asks his uncle to teach guitar and keeps turning back time until he's able to play the song on the record for Aoi. After serenading her, he tells her not to cry and that he'll celebrate her birthday until she's 100. Another time, he time travels so that he has a month to prepare a chocolate record for Aoi with the song "Happy Birthday" on it. Aoi tells him that she always wondered why he was so calm and collected, but understands why now. Riku quietly remarks that it's because he wanted to look cool in front of her. Aoi asks if Riku likes her, but he avoids the question. Aoi hops on top of a bridge with Riku on the ground beside her. She reminds him that he had told her to be with Naoya and he jokes, asking if she was sure it wasn't a dream. After a moment of silence, Riku admits he's always liked Aoi from the moment they met. Aoi remarks that it's a waste they both confessed so late, seeing as she's studying abroad so soon. Riku helps Aoi down from the bridge and as the two hold each other, he asks if she wants to start over. The two run off and a montage begins of their relationship. The couple two go public with their newfound love in front of their friends at the annual summer festival, making fun new memories together as a couple.

The montage ends right around the holidays as Aoi is admiring the snow. Riku comes up behind her and surprises her with a necklace to celebrate their relationship. The happy couple embrace. Time fast forwards and Aoi is still on track to study abroad after summer. The day before the concert rolls around and Riku is visibly unsettled and concerned, while Aoi assumes he's upset about her leaving for London. At a concert, Aoi and Riku renew their commitment to each other and Aoi exclaims that they'll always be together. The day of the concert arrives and the band's performance is a smashing success. As the team banter, Riku quickly realizes that Aoi is gone. He frantically searches for her, until he sees the ambulance and her dead body. The screen cuts to black.

Aoi is sitting in class again, this time paying attention. Riku bursts in mid-lecture and hugs Aoi. Later, Riku skips band practice and is seen frantically asking a professor for help. Later that night, while the two are writing the new song, Aoi doesn't recognizes some of the lyrics and realizes that Riku has time skipped. She's hurt that Riku time travelled without her. After consistently skipping practice, Riku gets into a fight with the rest of the band members and walks away. Aoi is suspicious and pokes around his room. She goes to the professor she saw him talk to earlier and learns that he's been asking questions about time. When she opens his notebook, she realizes that he's relived the day of her death many, many times. Traumatized, Aoi takes a quiet walk back. Riku sits down with his uncle and reveals that no matter what he's done, he could never save Aoi. But, out of everything he's tried, only one thing seemed to change their fates: when he traded his life for hers. Aoi overhears their conversation and realizes the reason she could remember the one time she died was because Riku had sacrificed his life for hers. Riku's uncle remarks that on that day, Riku had died when he shouldn't have, which is why is time turned back. Rather than changing fate, Riku had simply dragged Aoi into the mess with him. Upset, Riku asks how he was so sure. His uncle replies that it's because he did exact same thing. Aoi can't focus the next day and runs out to the sea. Riku finds her and gently reminds her that they should finish their song.

As the two tiptoe around the issue, Aoi finally tells Riku that he can stop pretending now. She confronts him and asks how many times he's seen her die. Riku promises that she won't die and remarks that they have the ability to go back wherever they want, however many times they want. As Riku is about to time travel, Aoi remembers their vibrant summer together and takes the record of life and snaps it in half. Riku sees Aoi's decision as her giving up; Aoi doesn't want to see Riku suffer through her death over and over again. Even as Aoi emphasizes how she enjoyed their year together, Riku is resolute on fixing the record. While Aoi takes time to fully accept that her final day is approaching, Riku's uncle pauses by his door to tell his story: his wife had been diagnosed with cancer and had felt that her husband had been distant lately, fully unaware that he was time traveling. Riku's uncle reminds Riku that he cannot fix broken record and that time in the present is much more important. Moved, Riku apologizes to Naoya and Tetta for lashing out at them and begs them to learn Aoi's new song. He goes with Rina to beg the fireworks man for his help. Finally, he runs over to find Aoi. Aoi stands on top of a hill and muses her anxieties out loud. Riku draws her close and reassures that he will be there for her always and that he wants to spend his time living life with Aoi. With newfound determination, the couple run back to the festival and make it just in time. The band performs Aoi's new song and Riku finally sings a part of it. When the song ends, the fireworks that Aoi had mused about a long time ago go off and she admires how pretty they are. Tears brimming in her eyes, Aoi thanks Riku, saying that out of her 100 birthdays, this was the best one. The scene fades to black.

Facing the ocean, the crew, dress in all-black, stand along the edge, an empty space indicating that Aoi has passed away. When Riku returns to the record shop, his uncle plays Aoi's last message to Riku on a record player. Aoi's voice jolts Riku to attention. She comforts Riku and encourages him to be strong and move forward, to live a vibrant life. She exclaims that this is his 100th birthday present and plays her last song to him, thanking him for loving her and for their precious memories. At the sound of her voice, Riku bursts in tears and breaks down. As Aoi's song continues to play in the background, Riku begins to move on with his life. He reorganizes his room, goes to class with his friends, jokes around with them, runs the record shop, and plays in the band with his friends. Sitting on the bench, he remembers his good times with Aoi and leaves with a smile. The camera lingers on the empty bench facing the ocean and fades to black.

The story begins with two brothers Ashar, the elder, and Yasir, the younger. They are married to two sisters with Yasir being married to the elder, Ramsha, and Ashar being married to the younger, Samra. Samra is pregnant and the couple already has a daughter named Alishba. Ramsha and Yasir share a son, Waleed. Living with them is the head of the household known as 'Dadi' by everyone. Raffiq is the family's servant who takes care of everything and is treated like a member of the family. He is especially close to Alishba who won't eat from anyone else's hand. At the time of Samra's baby shower, Raffiq brings along his pregnant wife and son on the instructions of Dadi. When Dadi begins the traditions on Raffiq's wife, Samra comes in and throws a fit that it's ''her'' baby shower. She is disgusted that a mere servant took her place. Due to her fit, Ashar has an argument with her telling her that if she acts so high and mighty over the servants, someday she will crash to the ground. The next day, it is raining heavily and Samra faces contractions. She refuses to go to the hospital with anyone aside from Ashar. In his haste to get to her, Ashar crashes into Raffiq's pregnant wife and son, killing them. He leaves in panic and arrives at the hospital to find his unborn child has also died. The family is hit with tragedy. A few days later, unable to bear the guilt, Ashar tells Yasir of the crime he committed. Raffiq overhears and in an act of revenge, kidnaps Alishba and takes her to some unknown village. Due to the shock, Samra is paralyzed from the waist-down.

'''FIFTEEN YEARS LATER . . .'''

Raffiq has raised Alishba as his own daughter along with a woman (Hamda Kaki) he calls his "sister". Alishba is now known as Alina. Raffiq is severely ill and the doctors suggest for him to go to Karachi to which he eventually agrees. On the other side, the family is preparing for Waleed's return from the US and his engagement to Sana. The two are shown as workaholics. Sana is especially rude to all of Waleed's family members which eventually leads to Waleed distancing himself from her. To earn some money for her father's (Raffiq) operation, Alishba begins working at her old house without knowing that she is their long-lost daughter. Eventually, the truth comes out and Raffiq begs for forgiveness after which he passes away from throat cancer. Alishba is re-introduced into the family and Samra, who was previously depressed, learns to live again. Alishba takes a while to adjust to her new life. Sana's mother isn't happy with the marriage causing them to move it up from one year to twenty days. During this time, Waleed's childhood friend, Sheheryar, comes along. He's shown as the opposite of Waleed, being lively and funny. Alishba and him get along and eventually Sheheryar falls in love with her. Dadi figures it out and arranges for the two to get married on the same day as Sana and Waleed. Waleed is facing a difficult time with Sana who is rude and stubborn. In the twenty-day gap between his marriage, he realizes that he is also in love with Alishba, much to the joy of Samra who has held on to Ramsha's promise that their children would marry one day. Waleed confesses his love for Alishba in front of Sana, her mother, Alishba and her father. Sana is upset and leaves at that moment regardless of it being only a night before their marriage. Alishba is distraught that Waleed would do this to her when she is supposed to marry Sheheryar. She refuses to marry Waleed but Sheheryar, who is under the misunderstanding that the entire household wants Waleed and Alishba to marry, leaves that night.

In the morning, Samra convinces Alishba to marry Waleed and they do so. Ramsha is very angry throughout since she still does not believe that Alishba is actually Samra's daughter. Initially, Alishba is not happy with Waleed since he broke her marriage causing people to doubt her honor. Ramsha adds fuel to the fire in attempt to break the two up. However, Samra continuously tells Alishba that Waleed loves her endlessly and that it would be foolish of her to not see that. Alishba finally decides to forget Sheheryar and move on with Waleed. The two fall in love, with Alishba confessing it in front of their family.

At this point, Sana returns with the aid of Ramsha. She's gone insane for Waleed and will do anything to gain him, including framing Hamda Kaki for thievery. She attempts suicide when Waleed doesn't talk to her and in order to prevent her from doing so again, he agrees to talk to her at night only. When Alishba asks, he says he's talking to a 'Canadian client'. When Ashar and Yasir wonder who this client is, Alishba grows suspicious. Alishba discovers she's pregnant and the whole family is overjoyed. Waleed tells Sana to forget him since he now has his own family. Sana is about the leave when Ramsha stops her and tells her to wait for a few more days. She clearly has a trick up her sleeves. A man is constantly calling Waleed, asking for his wife named "Hina". Waleed denies knowing her and the man, Rehmat, claims that Alishba is actually Hina and that she only married Waleed for his wealth. The entire family grows suspicious of Alishba's true identity and a DNA test is demanded to which Alishba refuses. This causes Waleed to doubt his wife. Alishba calls Hamda Kaki to back her story that she truly is Alishba. During this time, she also goes to meet Rehmat to demand why he would play such a sick joke on her when she doesn't even know who he is. Waleed sees the two together and confronts Alishba, accusing her of being Hina and lying to him. Hamda Kaki comes along and confirms that Alishba is in fact, only Alishba and that this Hina story is a fraud. Alishba, seeing how the family has doubted her (everyone except Samra believes that she is Hina), leaves with Hamda Kaki. She wants a divorce from Waleed but when the time comes, she cannot go through with it.

On the other end, Waleed has been pressurized to believe that Alishba has lied to him all this time. In attempt to get over her, he accepts to marry Sana, much to her happiness and his mother's satisfaction. During the wedding preparations, Waleed and Sana go to the mall where Sana sees Rehmat along with a woman and son. She contacts the woman and finds out that she is Rehmat's wife. On the day of Sana's nikkah with Waleed, Sana calls the woman and has her speak the truth in front of everyone. Ashar and Yasir also drag Rehmat inside who admits that he was paid by Ramsha to pretend that Alishba was Hina. The marriage breaks off for a second time and Waleed is angry at himself for not believing Alishba. When the entire family encourages him to go get her back, including Sana, Ramsha threatens that she'll kill herself if he does. Waleed walks away and she shoots herself, damaging her brain and paralyzing herself. At that time, Alishba goes into labor and Hamda Kaki is informed that they need more money for the operation. She calls Waleed who rushes to help his wife. Alishba gives birth to a son. Waleed begs for her forgiveness and she agrees. The family is reunited. A few days later, they plan on naming the baby. Alishba says Ramsha has a right to do so and Ramsha chooses the name 'Waqas'.

There are of course no free rooms in hotels, but the good-natured physician does not lose heart and decides to go camping. At the station, Victor by chance gets acquainted with a pretty woman, Natasha Kostikova, who, along with her young son, Ilya, also came to vacation. Natasha rented a room for only one person, and to place her son there she decides to stage a performance. A "jealous husband" with the child should come to the resort and thus Natasha would be able to be lodged together with Ilya. The role of the "husband" Natasha offers to Victor, and he after a little persuading he agrees.

The money received from lodgers allows Albina Petrovna to buy a treasured car. But alas, the landlady suffers color blindness, and driving is forbidden to her. In a terrible frustration with the collapse of their grandiose plans, Albina Petrovna is ready to drive out all the guests, but resourceful Victor finds a way out of the predicament again.

Unexpectedly an unpleasant surprise happens: on the beach Victor loses his clothes and passport and is detained by the police.

Heath Braxton and Bianca Scott travel to the Northern Territory for a late honeymoon. They are followed by Trevor "Gunno" Gunson, who they presumed dead after Heath let him fall from a cliff. In Summer Bay, Irene is looking after Heath's teenage daughter Darcy. Darcy tells Martin "Ash" Ashford and Irene that she is worried about Bianca being alone with Heath following their recent marital problems. Heath and Bianca learn they have been booked on a helicopter flight and their pilot Barry takes them out to a gorge. Heath returns Bianca's wedding bracelet to her, after she removed it during their rough patch. They realise that Barry is late picking them up. While Heath goes to higher ground to find a phone signal, Bianca is kidnapped by Gunno. He dumps an unconscious Barry in the bush and drives Bianca to an abandoned town.

The Roman Emperor Diocletian wants members of his imperial court to marry three virgin sisters: Agape, Chionia, and Irena. He insists the sisters renounce their Christian faith and worship the Roman gods. When they refuse, the emperor orders them imprisoned and examined by Governor Dulcitius. Dulcitius sees how beautiful the sisters are and tells his soldiers to lock them in the kitchen so he "can visit them oftener".

That night Dulcitius embraces the pots and pans in the dark kitchen, thinking they are the women. He leaves covered in soot, and the soldiers think he is possessed. Not realizing he is covered in soot, Dulcitius goes to the palace to tell the imperial court he has been insulted. He is beaten and denied admittance to the palace because the ushers do not recognize him. In retaliation for his embarrassment, he commands that Agape, Chionia, and Irena be stripped in public. However, the soldiers are unable to remove the robes from the women's bodies.

Since Dulcitius is sleeping, the soldiers tell Diocletian what has happened. The enraged emperor orders Count Sisinnius to punish the sisters. Sisinnius believes that the younger Irena will change her views if she is no longer influenced by her older sisters. He orders Agape and Chionia burned alive when they refuse to sacrifice to the Roman gods. Their spirits leave their bodies, but their bodies and clothes miraculously are not burned.

Sisinnius threatens Irena with execution, but she refuses to renounce her faith. He orders the soldiers to take her to a brothel, but they quickly return and tell Sisinnius that Irena has escaped. Two men came to them and said Sisinnius wanted her taken to the top of a mountain. Sisinnius and the soldiers go to the mountain, but are unable to go up. As Irena stands at the top, Sisinnius orders one of the soldiers to shoot her with an arrow. She dies looking forward to heaven.

The behind the scenes story of the TV show ''Full House''.

In the near future, the parish church of the Kentish village of Valham is undergoing long-overdue restoration - restoration largely made possible by the fund-raising efforts of the able and radical young incumbent, Lewis Patterson. A walled-in chamber is discovered and within it is a coffin sealed with the crest of Becket.

''Princess Principal'' is set in a fictional analogue of Britain called Albion. During the early 20th century, the Kingdom of Albion monopolized a mysterious substance called "Cavorite" to construct a fleet of heavily armed airships that made Albion the dominant power in the world. However, the proletariat of Albion grew angry at their country's ruling class for largely ignoring their plight, sparking the "London Revolution" in which the lower classes attempted to overthrow the royal family. Eventually, the two sides reached a stalemate, and a great wall was erected through the middle of London, splitting Albion into two nations: the Commonwealth and the Kingdom.

Several years later, the Commonwealth launches "Operation Changeling", a plan to replace the Kingdom's Princess Charlotte with Ange, a girl who bears a strong resemblance to her, in order to have a highly placed agent within the royal family. However, the Princess turns the plan on the spies, offering to work with the Commonwealth if Ange and her friends will help her become the Queen of the Kingdom. So begins the story as five girls, including the Princess herself, serve as undercover spies in the Kingdom working for the Commonwealth, while enrolled as students at the prestigious Queen's Mayfair school.

Cheryl (Alexandra Paul) lives with her abusive husband Kurt (Michael Riley) in a small house at Canada. One night, Kurt returns after having accidentally murdered a man while out. Cheryl flees in a car with her baby daughter Emily (Annie Bovaird).

Ten years later, Cheryl is living with her new husband Gregory (Bruce Boxleitner). Emily does not know the existence or identity of her biological father. On her tenth birthday, she relapses into leukemia and is hospitalised. A small sample of body tissue is needed to save her from an otherwise certain death; however, Cheryl is found to be incompatible with the required transplant. After much hesitation, she decides to contact Kurt.

Cheryl locates Kurt's new house after some searching. She is greeted by his girlfriend, who mistakes her for an investor in Kurt's new bar across town. Kurt, she finds out, is now in serious debt from failed investments, and his bar is struggling to stay afloat. Kurt first refuses to help after the anger of meeting a belligerent and hostile Gregory.

Kurt later breaks into Cheryl's house, and admits that he is agreeing to help, in exchange for $600,000 from Cheryl. Additionally, she must not involve Gregory. He demands Cheryl's wedding ring as a "deposit". Afterwards, he is shown giving the ring to criminal loan shark Russo, in attempt to buy more time before the debt is due to be paid. Russo turns down the offer, saying "[his] wife already has enough diamonds".

Naturally, Gregory is furious when he realises he has been left out proceedings, and that his wife has been blackmailed. He has no choice but to cooperate, helping collect $300,000. They cannot make any more loans from the bank until they have paid off their current loans, meaning they cannot reach $600,000. Kurt is desperate, and even more so when Cheryl visits one day to find his girlfriend's bloodied corpse. Kurt flees to her home, explaining that Russo is close on his heels, and had killed his girlfriend as an urgent warning.

Cheryl visits her estranged Uncle Theo, a rich man, hoping to borrow the remaining $300,000. He scolds her for her foolishness in being blackmailed, and points out that because she ignored his advice when he first warned her about marrying Kurt, he has no obligation to pay her for her mistake. The dialogue which ensues reveals that Cheryl wants to save Kurt, as much as Emily.

Kurt, meantime, makes friends with Emily (who only knows him as a benefactor). He deceives Emily into believing that her mother has been involved in an accident. He kidnaps her under the guise of taking her to see her mother, and goes to their old, now abandoned house. Cheryl correctly guesses their whereabouts and confronts him. Gregory secretly rescues Emily through a window.

The confrontation between Cheryl and Kurt is disrupted when Russo and his henchman arrive. He comments on Kurt's changing relationships with women, and says that he no longer intends to wait for the debt to be paid. His henchman shoots at Cheryl, but Kurt leaps in the way and takes the bullet for her. Russo is taken aback. As his henchman reloads, Kurt pulls out a hidden gun and kills both of them.

At hospital, a dying Kurt calls for Cheryl and tells her that "[he] gave Emily what she needed", and returns her ring. An epilogue shows Cheryl and Gregory waving to Emily from their home, who has now fully recovered.

Werner and Julia, a childless middle-class couple in Berlin, face a crisis. Unable to conceive, Julia wants to reclaim a child she gave away at birth when she was single in her teens. The little boy is now six and lives happily in Essen with a childless working-class couple, a Polish immigrant called Radek and his wife. Despite Werner's efforts to dissuade her, she starts stalking the child. As there was no formal adoption, she feels she has a legal as well as a moral right to the boy and one day at the swimming pool she abducts him.

Tracing his beloved little boy to Berlin, Radek bursts into the flat and seizes him back. Werner gets Radek arrested at the railway station and regains possession of the lad. It rapidly becomes apparent that not only is Julia's mental balance precarious but she lacks parenting skills. Radek, inconsolable at his loss, climbs a factory chimney and says he will throw himself off if the child is not returned. The media take up the case, with most of the country on the side of the honest couple who raised the boy and against the selfish mother. Shortly before Radek's deadline, Werner persuades Julia to give the boy back, but it is doubtful what kind of marriage is left for the pair.

A body is found in the woods near a small town called Three Pines. Inspector Gamache and his homicide team are sent to investigate.

Now that he has returned at last, he plots to make himself into a real wizard by getting actual magic powers. When he finds out about the Wicked Witch's spirit being trapped in her crystal ball, he decides to help resurrect her in exchange for powers (not knowing that it takes years to get powers), but it backfired and Dorothy accidentally resurrects the Wicked Witch without her powers. Regardless on the outcome, this puts the Land of Oz in serious danger now.

Since the incident at Pleasant Hill, Captain America's memories were rewritten by the sentient Cosmic Cube Kobik, who was manipulated by the Red Skull's clone into making Steve think he had been a Hydra sleeper agent since World War II. As Chitauri forces launch a massive attack on Earth, Rogers is now head of S.H.I.E.L.D. where he is appointed head of Earth's defense forces during the assault. He dispatches Captain Marvel, the Ultimates (Blue Marvel, America Chavez, Spectrum), the Alpha Flight Space Program, the Guardians of the Galaxy (Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot), Hyperion, and Quasar to intercept the Chitauri outside Earth's atmosphere as Ironheart and her Tony Stark A.I. as Iron Man prepare an attempt to establish an indestructible forcefield around the planet. At the same time, the Defenders (Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage), Doctor Strange, Spider-Woman, and Cloak and Dagger oppose an assault by various members of Baron Zemo's Army of Evil. While Hyperion and Quasar are taken out of the battle by the Chitauri, Nitro explodes defeating the Defenders. The villains disappear upon the Avenger Unity Division's arrival. Just as the Planetary Defense Shield around the Earth is brought online, Rogers reveals his allegiance to Hydra as the Hydra Supreme by trapping Captain Marvel's forces outside of Earth's atmosphere. Meanwhile, all of Manhattan is imprisoned within the Darkforce Dimension after Baron Helmut Zemo uses the Darkhold to enhance Blackout's abilities. Iron Man sends a signal out to the other heroes to meet in Washington, D.C. as fast as they can.

Issue 1

Hydra's influence has spread to various facets of American society. Inhumans now must submit to registration as soon as their powers manifest or face arrest as seen when Hydra picks up a young man named Brian McAllister upon being outed by a kid who bullies his younger brother. A section of western California is rechristened "New Tian" for all mutants to reside. A hacker named Rayshaun Lucas is entrusted with key data by Rick Jones that Rick says will prove the truth about Captain America. Shaun successfully makes contact with the Champions (Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man, Viv Vision, and Hulk) accompanied by Ironheart and Falcon. The Champions lead him to a base in Las Vegas housing various heroes who make up an underground resistance to the HYDRA regime with the Resistance consisting of Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Black Widow, Giant-Man, Hercules, Quicksilver, Rescue, Stingray, Thing, Tigra, Wonder Man, and others. Manhattan remains trapped in the Darkforce Dimension and Carol's team remain trapped in space as she sends out a distress call, asking for the help of any alien races. Hydra Supreme leads Hydra's version of the Avengers consisting of Black Ant, Deadpool, Odinson, Superior Octopus, Scarlet Witch, Taskmaster, and Vision who ruthlessly deal with the monster Krigorrath. At a meeting with the Hydra Council, Hydra Supreme rejects the option to reaffirm control of the populace through mind control. Rick and Sharon Carter, who have both been captured, refuse to swear loyalty to Hydra. To make a statement, Hydra Supreme has Rick sentenced to death by firing squad and dispatches Hydra Helicarriers to raze the city of Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Hydra Supreme and Madame Hydra resume their search for the Cosmic Cube in order to undo the Allies' victory in World War II.

Issue 2

Having received and analyzed Rick's data, Tony determines that the Cosmic Cube used to alter Steve has been scattered around the world as shards, speculating that they can restore Rogers to himself if they can bring the fragments together. While Hawkeye agrees with this theory, assembling a strike force of Mockingbird, Ant-Man, Hercules, and Quicksilver to find the Cosmic Cube fragments, Black Widow sets off to kill Rogers herself reasoning that even if Rick's theory is true, the man Steve was would prefer to die than be used in this manner. She finds herself followed by the Champions as she establishes her version of the Red Room. In New York, Dagger fights to maintain light in the city, demons are running free, Claire Temple tends to the ill civilians, and the Kingpin uses his political clout to provide supplies to the locals after saving those in the church from the armed robbers that he killed trying to raid the church for medical supplies. Hydra Supreme grimly reflects on his recent actions where he revealed that he actually turned the final decision for Rick's execution and the assault on Vegas over to Madame Hydra. Zemo assures him of his value as a symbol. An unidentified woman is being pursued through an unknown forest by the Serpent Society members Bushmaster, Puff Adder, and Viper in the wilderness. They assault her until she is rescued by a haggard, bearded man in a torn World War II-era army uniform who introduces himself as Steve Rogers and states that he is trying to get home.

Issue 3

As this "new" Steve Rogers escorts the woman he rescued through the forest, she reveals she's been poisoned during the resulting battle and is dying. Steve reveals that his only memories are of what is implied to be his basic training days. Meanwhile, outside the safety of Earth's force field, Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot try to enlist representatives of the Skrulls, Kree, Brood, Shi'ar and Spartax empires that are on the Galactic Council in helping against the Chitauri hordes and to break down the Planetary Defense Shield and get rid of Hydra. Realizing they are now facing a galaxy without human interference, the Galactic Council refuses aid and attempt to kill the three Guardians as they flee. As Star-Lord tells Captain Marvel what happened amongst the Chitauri attacks, Quasar is still comatose. Back on Earth, Black Widow makes her way to a safehouse owned by Boomerang who is now a crime boss in Newark, New Jersey. Boomerang is hiding Maria Hill who is working with the criminal underworld to hide from the regime. Hill and Widow begin training the Champions, pushing them to learn how to kill. While the resistance seeks a Cosmic Cube shard, Hydra Supreme is called away from attending a Hydra science fair alongside a reluctant Sharon Carter by news from Kraken that another shard has been located in Atlantis. As Hydra's Avengers invade and destroy the Atlantean temple, they discover that the shard they've tracked down is a fake planted by Namor to keep them from discovering the real one. This is the second failed attempt to recover a shard after an ill-fated mission into Wakanda to retrieve another. Before Steve can take the failure out on Hydra's Avengers, he receives word that another shard has been located. Mockingbird leads the task force to find Sam Wilson. They come across the base of the Ultron/Hank Pym hybrid who decides to give his "family" a warm welcome. As the new Steve Rogers and the woman travel through the forest, the woman succumbs to her injuries and dies. But before she passes, she promises Steve he'll find his way home if he "stays true to himself." With a quick jump back to Newark, Boomerang awakens to discover a bomb in his safehouse. Though he survives the blast, a mysterious figure puts a gun in his face demanding knowledge of his criminal enterprises and of the resistance. Boomerang protests as it's revealed that the figure is the Punisher who is now apparently in the employ of Hydra.

Issue 4

Confronted by Batroc the Leaper, Living Laser, and Whirlwind, the tattered Steve is assisted by figures who appear to be Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, who suggest that they stick together. It has also been suggested the two characters coming to Steve's aid are the both recently deceased James Rhodes and Rick Jones. Meanwhile, Black Widow is training the young heroes in interrogation techniques. Even though the others argue that the victim is too low-level to know anything, Widow kills the Hydra Agent when he attempts to escape. Having tracked the next fragment of the Cosmic Cube, the Underground and Hydra Supreme alongside the Hydra Avengers confront each other, but are captured by the Ultron/Hank Pym hybrid, who forces both teams to sit at a dinner table. During "dinner," Ultron reveals information about the Hydra Avengers like Odinson working with Hydra to reclaim Mjolnir, Scarlet Witch being possessed by Chthon, and Vision being affected by an A.I. virus. Ultron argues that he is doing this because the Avengers have become less of a family over the years as so many of them jump to obey Captain America or Iron Man despite past experience confirming that this is not always a good idea, but Tony counters that the only reason the team failed as a family was because of Hank's abuse towards Wasp. Enraged, Ultron is about to kill everyone, but Ant-Man is able to calm him down by arguing that Hank remains his own inspiration. Ultron allows the Underground to leave with the fragment, arguing that neither side should have an advantage over the other. Back in America, Hydra Supreme has put Namor in a position where he will be forced to sign a peace treaty that gives Rogers access to the Cosmic Cube fragment in Atlantis, but Hydra Supreme muses that he is unconcerned about who will acquire the fragments as he has an inside man in the Underground.

Issue 5

While doing business with some men, Viper is told by a Hydra agent that they have apprehended Black Widow. This is part of a diversion so that the Champions can infiltrate a Hydra base. When Viper figures out that Widow is planning to kill Hydra Supreme, Viper tries to persuade Widow to join up with her enterprise. When the Champions find a comatose man much to their confusion, Widow assures them that he is the person they are looking for. Travelling together through the woods, "Bucky" and "Sam" are accompanying "Steve." While on the Underground's transport, Ant-Man sends Stinger the updates on the quests for the Cosmic Cube fragments. As Iron Man speaks with Black Panther, he tells Tony that he is remaining neutral as Stark states that Hydra will not rest until they have all the Cosmic Cube shards. When Black Panther states that he can have Tony give him the Cosmic Cube shards that he has, he declines and takes his leave. After recapping a fight with the High Evolutionary and breaking into vaults, Ant-Man arrives with the Underground in Madripoor where they are attacked by the Hand, who are working for Hive. As Iron Man defeats Hive, Gorgon is knocked down by Hercules who turns into stone afterwards due to Gorgon's stare. When Iron Man frees Hydra's prisoner Shang-Chi, he reveals to Tony that he doesn't have the Cosmic Cube fragment anymore. A flashback reveals that Emma Frost stole it from an unconscious Shang. Hydra Supreme meets with New Tian's ambassador Beast in the site where Mjolnir is. He demands that New Tian's leaders surrender the fragment to him. While on a helicopter, Madame Hydra tells Hydra Supreme that Chthon has become increasingly uncontrollable, the A.I. virus made by Arnim Zola is still keeping Vision under control, and Odinson is still praying to Odin about his troubles where it was mentioned that Jane Foster is trapped in an alternate dimension and that she and Doctor Faustus can't subvert him. Back at the Underground, Giant-Man, Shaun, and Tony reveal that they don't have a Cosmic Cube-tracking device. As Zola mentions that their attacks won't bring down their defenses, the former Captain America states that they will unleash their secret weapon. Back in the mysterious forest, "Steve," "Sam," and "Bucky" encounter the Red Skull who plans to take them "home." Back at the Hydra Helicarrier, Arnim Zola tells Hydra Supreme that their subject in the vault is awake but disoriented and that the procedure they did on him is temporary as his condition will degrade quickly. After brushing off Arnim Zola's concerns, Hydra Supreme Steve Rogers states that they need their subject for a short time to bring the Underground down. When the vault opens, it is revealed that the person that they are talking about is a temporarily-resurrected Bruce Banner.

Issue 6

As the other Steve Rogers is hanging from a rope tied to a tree, he finds himself next to a rambling man. As the Red Skull takes the stranger away, he tells Steve that his time will come soon. Back in a Darkforce-covered Manhattan, Claire Temple and Cloak are trying to get Dagger to light up. Doctor Strange arrives at a supernatural library in order to find a spell that would set the city free. When Daredevil attacks some men, Kingpin clears things up with him stating that the men were taking supplies to Mercy General Hospital. Back in the mysterious forest, Steve asks Skull where he is as Skull claims that they are in "Hell." He also states that they are nothing but ghosts that are fading remnants into death. The Red Skull then uses a barbed bat on Steve's chest stating that the only path to peace is death. At the Red Room's safehouse in Maryland, Nadia Pym, the new Wasp, is leaving upon expressing her indignation the Champions want to talk Black Widow out of killing Hydra Supreme. Miles Morales tells Widow to have hope. During the siege at the Mount, Hydra Supreme asks Bruce Banner for his help during the little time that he has left. Tony is sure that someone in the Underground has tipped off Hydra. Mockingbird claims that Quicksilver is working for Hydra in exchange for Scarlet Witch's return while Quicksilver claims that Mockingbird led them on a wild goose chase. Back on the Hydra Helicarrier, Banner rejects Hydra Supreme's offer only for Rogers to reveal that he was talking to Hulk. Ant-Man reveals that he is Hydra's mole and explains that Hydra is using his daughter as leverage just as Hulk penetrates the fortress. As Thing fights Hulk, Mockingbird snaps Hawkeye out of his guilt-induced daze in order for him to help evacuate the Mount. As Giant-Man unleashes a set of A.I.vengers to help in the fight, Hawkeye, Mockingbird, and the civilian members of the Resistance run into Odinson who allows them to board their jet. While Sam Wilson takes off, Mockingbird notices that Tony hasn't left the base. As Iron Man prepares to leave, he is caught by surprise by Hydra Supreme, who uses Ultron-derived technology on Tony's armor to keep him from transferring himself elsewhere. While Iron Man is stuck fighting Hydra Supreme, the A.I.vengers help in the fight against the Hulk. As the final effects resurrection process start to wear off, Hulk collapses the roof over the Iron Man and Hydra Supreme. As Iron Man activates the Mount's "Clean Slate Protocol," he persuades Hydra Supreme to remain behind so that he can apologize to him. Back on the Hydra Helicarrier, Madame Hydra detects an unusual amount of energy in the Mount and rushes in. As Tony expresses his grief and remorse over what happened to Captain America after the first superhero civil war, he states that he didn't want to fail at helping Captain America again. Madame Hydra arrives and teleports Hydra Supreme away at the last second as Iron Man explodes, destroying the base and killing Madame Hydra. Back in Maryland, Black Widow hears about what happened at the Mount. She informs the Champions about what happened and that they will kill Hydra Supreme tomorrow.

Issue 7

Opening at the Alpha Flight Space Station, Captain Marvel is receiving an overall negative status report from Spectrum. While they are able to make inter-dimensional supply runs and have found the location of the Chitauri Queen Eggs, the waves of Chitauri and their Leviathans are increasing in size and frequency leaving the technicians without enough time to fix the severe structural damage to the station. Monica suggests that America relocate the heroes and people trapped outside the Planetary Defense Shield to an alternate reality given the Intergalactic Council in their reality are unsympathetic to Earth's plight. Captain Marvel rejects this idea stating the heroes were charged with a mission to protect the Earth against the Chitauri invasion and they are the only thing standing in the way if the shield were to go down for some reason. Captain Marvel then turns her attention to a comatose Avril Kincaid who we find out did survive being swallowed by the Leviathan and was pulled out of the wreckage by Nova. Captain Marvel admits her fault in the situation and the raising of the Planetary Defense Shield and pleads for the new Quasar to wake up. Meanwhile, the Red Skull tortures "Steve Rogers," claiming he is granting Steve "peace." Spider-Man and Black Widow are about to proceed with their mission to assassinate Hydra Supreme. Aware of Miles' supposed destiny of killing Captain America, Widow locks the young Spider-Man in a Hulk-proof transport section of her van and sets off to kill Rogers, rather than allowing Miles to become a killer. Black Widow heads out to the rubble of the Capitol Building in Washington DC and orchestrates her team to create a diversion which will allow her time to assassinate the Supreme Leader. It is at this moment we learn that the old man the team had rescued earlier was actually the prison used to hold the Inhuman, Mosaic. Widow frees Mosaic from the dying old man and he goes on to possess the Hydra Guards long enough for Widow to aim for Hydra Supreme. Their diversion is successful, but the Punisher arrives right before Black Widow can take the shot and the two begin to fight. Spider-Man is still trapped inside the Hulk-proof van as he has the idea of starting a fire and hoping that one of the emergency evacuation mechanisms will be activated. Miles escapes from the burning van and is on his way to the Capitol. The Punisher and Black Widow continue to fight until Widow stabs the Punisher in the shins. The Punisher explains Hydra Supreme's overall plan to use the Cosmic Cube is to put everything back to the "way it was." Not just the Axis victory in World War II, but bringing back all of the dead as a result of Hydra like Rick Jones, Jack Flag, and Castle's family. Black Widow rejects this idea and sees Miles approaching Hydra Supreme, prompting Widow to rush towards them. She fights her way through several Hydra guards, but somehow gets between Hydra Supreme attempting to strike Miles with the pointed edge of his shield. Black Widow is stabbed in the neck, falls to the ground, and seemingly dies. Her death enrages Spider-Man who shatters Hydra Supreme's shield with one punch. Miles proceeds to pummel Hydra Supreme to a bloody pulp. Right before he moves to impale Rogers on some debris, Wasp intervenes and dissuades Spider-Man from killing Hydra Supreme by reminding him that he is not a killer and that Black Widow did not want him to become one. The Champions are subsequently arrested. Weak from the attack, Rogers asks to be taken to Sharon on board the Hydra Helicarrier. On board, Hydra Supreme reveals to Sharon his plan to set things right with the Cosmic Cube and asks for her support while he is struggling with Madame Hydra's death. Sharon replies by attempting to stab him in the throat with a homemade shiv. She manages to prick Hydra Supreme's neck, but is stopped by him before she can inflict any real damage. As the guards take Sharon away, Hydra Supreme asks them to alert the Hydra High Council that tomorrow they will declare war. Meanwhile, Red Skull is about to deliver the killing blow to the other Steve Rogers. Before he can strike, Steve sees the woman he tried to save. He realizes there is still hope and evades the Skull's attack. Steve then tackles the Red Skull and they both plummet off the cliff into the water below. Out in Arizona, Hawkeye, Tigra, Giant Man, Mockingbird, Wonder Man, Quicksilver, and those with them have survived Hydra's attack on the Mount.

The hooded figure arrives at Hydra Supreme's cell and is revealed to be Captain America who states that he is imprisoned there to await trial. While Hydra Supreme claims that he technically didn't commit any of the crimes he was accused of like gaining control of the country through the S.H.I.E.L.D. Act upon becoming its director, or being involved in the Planetary Defense Shield, or using the S.H.I.E.L.D.

The best of these horse girls go to train at Tokyo's Tracen Academy, hopefully moving on to fame and fortune as both racers and idols.

The first season features Special Week, a high school horse girl from the countryside, who has just transferred to Tresen.

Joe Denton, a corrupt ex-cop, is released from jail. Six years earlier, while on the mob's payroll, Denton attacked district attorney Phil Coakley, earning him the enmity of the police and the nickname "slash cop". After finding his ex-wife has left the city with their children, he moves in with his elderly parents. Denton researches his ex-wife on the internet, eventually digging up a phone number. After briefly talking to one of his daughters, his ex-wife takes the phone and threatens to press charges if he ever contacts them again.

Denton passes a bar on his way back home. Although a recovering alcoholic, he enters and orders a drink. His friend Scotty, the brother of Denton's slain partner, greets him and offers him any help he needs. A young woman asks Denton for a ride home. Denton is surprised when she reveals herself to be Coakley's daughter and intentionally bloodies herself. Cued by her cries for help, two men drag Denton from his car; Denton beats both men savagely. After Denton is questioned by the police, Coakley admits the evidence backs up his story and reluctantly asks if Denton wants to press charges. Denton declines, saying he wants to leave his history in the past, to the disgust of Coakley and Lieutenant Pleasant, who calls him a disgrace.

Pleasant, revealed to also be corrupt, demands Denton kill mob boss Manny Vassey, who has found religion on his deathbed. Pleasant explains Vassey's guilty conscience may lead him to confess to Coakley. Pleasant promises to help Denton renegotiate the terms of the settlement with his ex-wife if he kills Vassey. At his house, Vassey denies the rumors. As Vassey falls asleep, Denton begins to suffocate him, only to be interrupted by Charlotte Boyd, Vassey's hospice nurse. Denton smoothly thanks her for her work and leaves the house, where he encounters Vassey's sadistic son, Junior. Junior threatens to kill Denton, enraged that Vassey would see him while avoiding his own son.

Frustrated with his suspicious behavior, Denton's parents demand explanations. When they disbelieve his lies, Denton angrily accuses them of having no faith in his redemption. Denton encounters Boyd again at a diner, and the two soon begin dating. After Pleasant threatens him and his parents, Denton probes Boyd for a way to access Vassey. When this fails, Pleasant suggests he murder Coakley instead. Denton breaks into Coakley's house but can not bring himself to do it. Instead, he bribes Toni, a prostitute Coakley has been seeing, into secretly recording him.

Denton sets up a camera in Coakley's hotel room and waits in a nearby room for Coakley to arrive. During Coakley's tryst, Toni's boyfriend Rooster arrives. Driven by jealousy, Rooster kills Toni and is killed by Coakley in return. Denton witnesses the shooting and waits for Coakley to leave before running into the room to look for the camera. Realizing that Coakley found and took the camera, Denton returns home dejected.

After another argument with his parents, in which his father asks him to leave, an unknown assailant fires several shots into Denton's parents' house, wounding his mother. Denton confesses to Boyd, with whom he has grown closer, that the situation has spiraled out of control. She assures him it will work out, and, unknown to Denton, murders Vassey. Junior catches Boyd in the act. Denton is kidnapped by Junior's thugs and Junior reveals he has tortured and presumably killed Boyd. Denton's protests that he was uninvolved with Vassey's death are interrupted by the arrival of Scotty.

Denton and Scotty kill Junior and his thugs, but Scotty is shot. Denton attempts to save Scotty but stops when he learns that Scotty was the one who shot his mother. Coakley had revealed to Scotty that it was Denton who killed his brother under Junior's orders. Denton leaves Scotty to die and receives a call from Pleasant informing him that Coakley died in a car accident. Coakley had been distracted, watching the recording of his shooting of Rooster while driving.

Denton ransacks his parents' house for dirty money they found and hid from him before kicking him out. After Denton finds the money and indicates his desire to deliver it to his children, Denton's father says he will not allow Denton anywhere near the children, fearing Denton's self-destructive impulses will harm them. When Denton incredulously asks what his father can do to stop him, Denton's father stabs him. In his dying moments, Denton wipes his father's fingerprints off the knife and adds his own, to make the wound appear self-inflicted.

Starr Carter is a 16-year-old black girl, who lives in the fictional mostly poor black neighborhood of Garden Heights, but attends an affluent predominantly white private school, Williamson Prep. After a shooting breaks up a party Starr is attending, she is driven home by her childhood best friend and sometimes crush Khalil. They are stopped by a white police officer. The officer instructs Khalil, who is black, to exit the car; while outside the car, Khalil leans into the driver-side window to check in on Starr. The officer assumes he is grabbing a gun and shoots Khalil three times, killing him.

Starr agrees to an interview with police about the shooting after being encouraged by her Uncle Carlos, who is also a detective. Carlos was a father figure to Starr when her father, Maverick, spent three years in prison for gang activity. Following his release, Maverick left the gang and became the owner of the Garden Heights grocery store where Starr and her older half-brother Seven work. Maverick was only allowed to leave his gang, the King Lords, because he confessed to a crime to protect gang-leader King. Widely feared in the neighborhood, King now lives with Seven's mother, Seven's half-sister Kenya, who is friends with Starr, and Kenya's little sister, Lyric.

Khalil's death becomes a national news story. The media portrays Khalil as a gang banger and drug dealer, while portraying the white officer who killed him more favorably. Starr's identity as the witness is initially kept secret from everyone outside Starr's family, including her younger brother Sekani. Keeping the secret from her white boyfriend Chris and her best friends Hailey Grant and Maya Yang – who all attend Williamson Prep – weighs on Starr, as does her need to keep her Williamson and Garden Heights personalities separate. Starr's struggles with her identity are further complicated after her mother gets a higher-paying job and the family moves out of Garden Heights.

After a grand jury fails to indict the white officer, Garden Heights erupts into both peaceful protests and riots. The failure of the criminal justice system to hold the officer accountable pushes Starr to take an increasingly public role, first giving a television interview and then speaking out during the protests, which are met by police in riot gear. Her increasing identification with the people of Garden Heights causes tension with Starr's friends, especially with her boyfriend Chris. But by the end of the novel, Starr and Maya have started standing up to Hailey's racist comments while Chris offers support to Starr.

The climax of the novel occurs during the riot following the grand jury decision. Starr, Chris, Seven, and DeVante – whom Maverick helped leave the King Lords – successfully defend Maverick's store from King. The neighborhood stands up to King and as a result of testimony by DeVante, King is arrested and expected to be imprisoned for a lengthy sentence. Starr promises to keep Khalil's memory alive and to continue her advocacy against injustice.

Paul Lopez is an alcoholic screenwriter suffering from writer's block. His realtor, Laura, arrives with a couple, the Owens, to show them Paul's house, for sale because of Paul's financial difficulties. Before leaving to go hunting, Paul asks Laura to meet later at a diner. On his way, he receives a phone call advising his script cannot be submitted in its current form. Frustrated, Paul gets into an altercation with a truck driver who won't let him pass in traffic.

He meets Laura. News of the "Roadside Killer" is being broadcast. The Owens are not interested in the house but Laura is interested in his work. He confides he has not written in a long time. Before leaving they make a dinner date. Meanwhile, the truck driver enters the restaurant. Upset, he attacks Paul, but is thrown out of the diner by Jack, another patron.

Driving, Paul spots Jack hitchhiking and picks him up, inviting him to stay the night in his guestroom. Later Paul explains his phone connection is out and there is no internet. He tells Jack his history as a writer. Jack asks to read one of Paul's scripts and is given an unsold script called ''Under the Clock''. Paul notices Jack's tattoo while he is swimming in an artificial pond near the house and Jack explains that it is a prison tattoo of a black butterfly; very rare and very hard to catch. Jack convinces Paul to quit drinking and to write a script based on the events that just happened around their encounter.

Jack reads the first draft without Paul's consent and, unsatisfied, throws it into the fire, proposing that the character of "Jack" be a person working in collusion with the truck driver. That night Jack sneaks into Paul's room and puts a knife to his throat to show him that, unlike the girl pleading with her attacker in his script, in reality the victim does not speak a word. While Jack is chopping wood the next morning, Paul looks through old newspaper clippings and evidence he has collected about young women's disappearances but quickly hides it when Jack walks in. Later, while working on the script, Paul hears a gunshot and a woman scream. He goes outside to investigate but Jack indicates that it was a bird screeching due to the gunshot.

A delivery man arrives with some goods. Jack points a shotgun at Paul and tells him not to walk too far. Once Paul gets rid of the delivery man, he argues with Jack about his twisted conduct.

Laura arrives on a foggy morning asking why Paul hasn't answered her calls for days. At that moment, Paul rushes to her and tells her to give him her car keys so that they can escape Jack. Halfway down the road, Jack walks out in front of them and shoots at the car. He then forces them to push the car into the water and to come back to the house. Soon a sheriff arrives looking for a missing girl who was supposed to have been delivering a package. Paul says that he hasn't seen the girl but attempts to scream out a message, causing Jack to run out, force the sheriff into the trunk of his police vehicle and shoot him. Paul locks Jack out and barricades the windows to protect himself and Laura. When Jack pretends to drive the sheriff's car away, they attempt to run through the woods to catch the half-hourly train but Laura trips over a log and Jack catches them.

That night Jack insists that Paul has broken their agreement. Laura, surprisingly, stabs Jack in the back with a pair of sewing scissors. Paul grabs the shotgun but Jack says he is not brave enough to shoot and wrestles it from him. He takes Laura into the study and ties Paul to a chair. Paul breaks a picture and uses the broken glass to cut himself free, goes downstairs where he picks up a shotgun and enters the study. Laura is unconscious on the floor. Paul explains to Jack that he understands what it is like to "kill" and believes Jack has been sent by God so that Paul can kill Jack and frame him as the Roadside Killer. He shoots at Jack but the bullets are blanks. Jack grabs the shotgun and knocks him unconscious.

Paul wakes next morning and finds a group of FBI agents searching his house. He sees the sheriff uninjured and the truck driver, Laura, and Jack, all wearing FBI badges. Jack explains that they have been "tracking" him for three years and plays the recording of Paul's explanation of what it is like to kill. Paul complains that any evidence collected from his house is tainted because Jack and Laura had access to the house and could have planted it and that the tape recording is just his notes for a screenplay. Jack fears that they do not have enough evidence for a conviction. He notices an excavator with dirt on it. Looking through Paul's possessions, he finds a picture of Paul's wife in a yard that shows no artificial pond. Paul is impressed and attempts to make a deal to avoid the death penalty but Jack prefers "his own ending". The film ends with Paul waking up from what appeared to be a dream that happened to be the events of the film, and quickly attempts to type out the dream as a new script entitled ''Black Butterfly''.

Deutscher's second opera is a full-length work based on the fairy tale of Cinderella, but with significant modifications of the plot, which in her version revolves around music. It is set in Deutscher's imaginary land, Transylvanian, in an opera house run by the Cinderella's stepmother. The two step-sisters are talentless would-be divas. Cinderella is a talented composer, with "beautiful melodies springing into her head", but she is not allowed to perform and is slaved-worked as a copyist. Prince Theodore is a poet, who is mocked at court for his artistic leanings. In the first act, Cinderella chances upon a captivating love poem, which unbeknownst to her, was written by the Prince. She is inspired by the poem and sets it to music. Her beautiful melody is stolen by her step-sisters and performed at the singing competition during the royal ball, but with the wrong words. Finally, Cinderella herself sings her song to the prince with the right words, but unaware that he is the poet who wrote them. After Cinderella flees from the ball at midnight, the prince searches for her on the basis of a melody (rather than a glass slipper) – the haunting melody she sang as she fled. Eventually, the pair are united: "they find each other like lyrics find melody". Deutscher explained that it was important for her that Cinderella "is not just a pretty girl who cleans the floor and keeps quiet, she's clever and talented", and she wins the prince because of her talent as a composer.

''New York Times'' writer David Sheff’s teenage son Nicolas "Nic" Sheff goes missing, reappearing in their home two days later. Seeing obvious signs of drug use, David takes Nic to a rehab clinic. Progress is made, and Nic transfers to a halfway house, with the agreement of Nic's doctors. Days later, Nic disappears, and David finds him in the streets.

Back at the rehab facility, Nic reveals that he has been taking numerous drugs, including crystal meth. Nic eventually completes his rehab program, and seeing his improvements, combined with wishful thinking, David allows him to go away to college on his own, to become a writer. Nic's newfound freedom and sobriety start well, as he becomes a good student, and starts a relationship with his classmate, Julia. During a happy family dinner at his girlfriend's parents' house, Nic finds a bottle of pills in their medicine cabinet and swallows one. After this incident, he slowly relapses, causing Julia to break up with him, and his substance use to escalate until he eventually purchases heroin. Around this time, beginning to become suspicious of his slowly changing behavior, David decides to read Nic's diary. To his horror, Nic has filled half the pages by colorfully describing his growing addictions through worrying words and disturbing cartoons. On one of the last pages, Nic writes of his difficulty obtaining meth in college, but that he managed to score some heroin.

Returning home, David senses that Nic is using again, and Nic leaves of his own accord, feeling claustrophobic from his dad's suspicions about his drug use. David and Nic finally meet up, and Nic asks his dad for money, so he can go to New York. Knowing the money will almost certainly go towards drugs, David declines, and Nic angrily leaves. David later gets a call from a New York hospital saying Nic has overdosed. David flies there to retrieve him, and after talking to his ex-wife and Nic's mother Vicki, he decides Nic should be sent to live with her in Los Angeles.

Nic has a fresh start in Los Angeles. He attends 12 step meetings, spends time with his sponsor Spencer, and even works at a drug clinic to help newer patients overcome their addiction. Fourteen months sober, Nic drives to visit David and his family. Seeing Nic back to his old self, interacting happily with his two younger half-siblings, David is proud of his son's newfound sobriety, as is his wife Karen. As he departs from their home, however, Nic has a sudden surge of depression, resents his sobriety, and fears relapsing. Spencer gives Nic moral support over the phone, but to little avail. Later that night, Nic drives into San Francisco, where he runs into Lauren, a fellow drug addict from his past, and confesses his desire to "party," despite having been clean for quite some time. The two buy various drugs in the streets, which they proceed to inject together at Lauren's place, where they have sex.

When he learns Nic has gone missing again, David prepares to look for him, but Karen protests that he has done everything he can for Nic, and he cannot do anything to fix his addiction, which David heartbrokenly accepts. One day Nic and Lauren break into the home while David and his family are not there, and retrieve some valuable items. The family come home, and the two quickly depart. At first, they go undetected, but David's other son Jasper notices Nic, and both David and Karen go to find them. Karen chases them in their car but stops and lets them drive off.

Lauren overdoses, but is revived by Nic and is sent to the hospital. Nic tearfully calls David and asks for permission to come home, which his father declines. Nic continues to plead, but David hangs up and breaks down in tears. Despairing, Nic overdoses, but he survives. David and Vicki visit him in the hospital, and David and Nic tearfully embrace.

Closing titles reveal Nic has been sober for eight years, and it would not have been possible without the love and support of his family and friends.

The world of Kevala is corrupted by the Witch Disease, an illness developed in children under age 10. Its cause is unknown. A third eye appears on the forehead of those infected with the Witch Disease, and when the eye opens they awaken as a witch. A girl named Amalie lives in a remote village after she lost her parents to a witch. Her younger sister Milm is the only family she has left. One day, Milm suddenly disappears and Amalie eagerly searches for her. When she is about to give up, Milm shows up again, covered in mud and with the witch's eye on her forehead.

Upon the beginning of the game's events, Milm is seen being operated on by the Weiss Ritter, an anti-witch organization, to cure the Witch Disease. It seems to fail and result in her death, but then a witch named Chelka awakens in Milm's body and destroys the entire building. This also causes Milm's Hundred Knight doll to come alive as well, and begin fighting for Chelka. When Amalie discovers that Milm is alive and Chelka is in her body, the two of them move into the abandoned Durga Castle and Hundred Knight starts obeying Amalie's orders as well. They forge an uneasy relationship, with Amalie unwilling to hurt Chelka, and Chelka unable to harm Amalie lest Milm come to the surface.

The Hundred Knight's exploits defeating the witch Isabel are credited to Amalie, causing her to become a Holy Valkyrie. However, when Amalie realizes that the Valkyries are murdering the children with the Witch Disease that the WR cannot operate on, she starts to doubt her mission. She is sent to defeat Prim, the world's strongest witch, which the Hundred Knight does successfully, but they find records of misdeeds by the WR in Prim's castle. This leads Amalie to infiltrate the WR and discover that they have been covering up the fact that there is no cure for the Witch Disease, and she is actually an artificial witch who was never "cured".

This causes her to be forced to fight one of the Valkyries, defeating her. For this, she is branded a traitor and sentenced to death, though she surrenders willingly, losing hope that Milm will ever return to normal. However, Chelka rescues her. They defeat another of the Valkyries and, later, go after Theodore, the leader of the WR, though they are stopped by the final Valkyrie, Gabrielle, who reveals herself to be Francesca, the first witch, and actually a "Holy Maiden". They attempt to kidnap Milm, whose third eye is actually one of the three eyes of the all-powerful witch Rangda, and use the eyes to rebirth the world into a twisted utopia, but they are stopped with the help of Prim. However, the end of the world continues regardless.

Chelka and the others realize that the world has been going in an endless cycle for thousands of years, and discover a supply of mana that was removed from the cycle. They decide to absorb this "Manathree" and fight Rangda directly to break the cycle and prevent the world's destruction. The Hundred Knight succeeds in defeating Rangda's illusions and Chelka destroys Rangda herself. They realize that Rangda created the cycle and isolated the world from the multiverse to prevent the godlike interdimensional being, Niike, from destroying it as he did once before. Chelka decides to return the world to the multiverse, and all the other characters, living and dead, are reborn in a new world as non-witches.

16-year-old Tobias Eaton, at his father, Marcus's instruction, picks the choices that lead him to pass for Abnegation during his Aptitude Test. His meeting with a factionless man who seems to know his deceased mother, however, startles his choice, especially when the abusive Marcus beats him for lying about a gift his mother gave to him. Tobias eventually chooses Dauntless on Choosing Day, shocking Marcus.

Tobias is introduced to his instructor, Amar, and his fellow initiates, including Erudite transfer Eric. In a slight change, the initiates now have to face their fears right after making the jump from the roof. Tobias' four fears: his acrophobia, claustrophobia, remorse for shooting innocents, and his father's abuses, astonishes Amar. Since no other Dauntless has that low of a number of fears, Amar gives Tobias his new name: "Four".

Tobias "Four" Eaton goes through his Dauntless initiation tests. His first task has him forge a Dauntless tattoo. His next task is to fight his archrival, Eric, whom he manages to defeat. As he begins bonding with his Dauntless-born fellow initiates, Ezekiel "Zeke" and Shauna, he begins to forgo his isolationist and quiet Abnegation principle and starts embracing the lifestyle of a Dauntless.

In Four's next test, he faces his fears again, but manages to recognize that it is artificial and escapes from it in an unorthodox manner. Amar tells him that he also passed his test like Four, warning the latter not to do the test with that method again. The two are forced to do the test by Erudite leader, Jeanine Matthews. Though Four is careful, Amar is found dead a week after, which everyone but Four attributes to suicide. Four threatens Eric for his supposed part in causing Amar's death before the test announcement, in which Four ranks first. While celebrating his achievement, Four sees what appears to be his mother boarding a factionless train in the middle of the night.

The recently initiated Dauntless member, Tobias "Four" Eaton, is offered a chance to be promoted to the position of leader by Max, competing with his archenemy, Eric. He suspects that something foul is going on ever since the mysterious death of his mentor, Amar, for being a Divergent, which he links to Erudite, led by Jeanine Matthews, controlling Dauntless for a secret purpose. At the same time, he receives a note which leads him to reunite with his factionless mother, Evelyn, long presumed dead. Though their meeting is rough, Evelyn tells Four that there is a conspiracy going on and that she is still welcoming him to join her.

Four eavesdrops on Max's conversation with Jeanine which confirms his suspicion that Jeanine intends to use whomever is selected to be leader as a pawn. He intentionally fails during the final interview for the job in favor of becoming instructor for the new initiates. This allows Eric to win and implement his harsher suggestion for the next initiation tests. Four then decides to keep contact with his mother by delivering her a letter through an aide: the factionless man whom he met after his Aptitude Test several weeks before.

Two years after the events of ''The Son'', Tobias "Four" Eaton is working as the instructor for Dauntless transfer initiates, including Tris Prior. For two years, he has been secretly spying on Max and Jeanine Matthews and keeping contact with his mother, Evelyn. Four learns that Max and Jeanine are planning on an invasion to Abnegation. Evelyn responds nonchalantly when Four brings it up, and makes Four reconsider his position on his old faction.

Throughout the story, Four begins to get closer with Tris, helped by his admiration of her bravery and selflessness. He becomes protective of her, growing concerned when he learns that she is also a Divergent, and also saves her from an attack by her desperate fellow initiates. He also eventually allows her to know more about him by going through his fear landscape together. Four realizes that he will have to betray his new faction to protect his old faction: by attempting to warn his father, Marcus, about the upcoming invasion, which the latter quickly brushes off. Seeing another option, he looks to Tris for assistance.

Interpol Agent 505 Richard Blake battles a mysterious criminal known as "the Sheik" who plans to eliminate the population of Beirut by dropping radioactive mercury on the city.

A future dystopian Chicago has a society that defines its citizens by strict conformity to their social and personality-related affiliations with five different factions. That removes the threat of anyone exercising independent will and threatening the population's safety again by war or another human-created catastrophe. Those who fail the initiation of their particular faction are deemed Factionless and are treated as a lower class and a drain on society.

After the revelation about their city, Evelyn Johnson-Eaton becomes Chicago's leader, which forces all factions to live equally with the Factionless. Confessing their role in the insurgency, Beatrice "Tris" Prior, Christina, and Cara are pardoned. Tris learns from Tobias "Four" Eaton about the rebel "Allegiant," who work to restore the faction system. Several people are killed in a confrontation between faction members and the Factionless, including Evelyn's right-hand man, Edward. Tris is invited to a meeting with the Allegiant, whose leaders, Cara and Johanna Reyes, plan to usurp Evelyn and send envoys outside the city. Tris is selected for the expedition, alongside Tobias, Cara, Christina, Peter Hayes, Uriah Pedrad, and Tori Wu. Tris asks Tobias to free her brother Caleb from execution. Tori is killed by the Factionless, and the others escape and meet Tobias's mentor, Amar, who has long been presumed dead. They are taken to the Bureau of Genetic Welfare and its leader, David.

David explains that Chicago is walled off from the outside world in an experiment sanctioned by the US government to produce genetically-purer (GP) "Divergents" from the genetically-damaged (GD) population, the result of a failed attempt to correct human genes that led to the "Purity War." David gives Tris her mother Natalie's journal that details her life before Chicago. She was a refugee from Milwaukee who joined the Bureau and became a volunteer to stop Erudite's killing of Divergents. Those rescued included Amar and Tori's brother, George. Tobias learns he is not a true Divergent and joins GD Bureau member Nita in a rebellion against the GP staff. Tris is skeptical of the plan but jealous of Nita. The GP informant Matthew helps Nita access the Weapon Room and set off a bomb that causes Uriah to be brain-damaged. Tris stops Nita's rampage by holding David hostage before she wounds and arrests her.

Tris is appointed a council member and realizes that the Bureau supplied Erudite with the simulation serums that controlled Dauntless in the invasion of Abnegation. Security footage reveals that Marcus Eaton, who was banished by Evelyn, is working with Johanna to steal weapons from the Factionless, which Evelyn will counter by releasing the death serum. Tris learns that David intends to release serums that can erase the population's memories to save his experiment. She formulates a plan to release the memory serum on the Bureau while Tobias, Christina, and Peter, with Amar and George's help, return to Chicago with antiserums for Christina and Uriah's families.

Tobias, with his own plan to inject his mother with a memory serum, confronts her and asks her to avert the war in exchange for becoming his mother again. Evelyn agrees, negotiates peace with Johanna and Marcus, and exiles herself for two years, and Marcus vows never to lead Chicago. Tobias gives the memory serum to Peter, who intends to start anew.

Caleb volunteers to expose the memory serum, a suicide mission, but Tris replaces him. She successfully repels the death serum but is shot by David. Dying, Tris sees visions of her mother embracing her, before she succumbs to her wounds. Tobias, Christina, and Peter return to the Bureau and learn from Cara of Tris's death. In a deep depression, Tobias is about to drink the memory serum to erase his memories of Tris until Christina stops him. Uriah's brother, Ezekiel "Zeke", and his mother, Hana, are with Uriah as his life support is unplugged.

Two-and-a-half years later, Chicago is reopened and being rebuilt, and people co-exist regardless of gene purity. Tobias, now an assistant council member under Johanna, welcomes Evelyn back from her exile. To celebrate Choosing Day, he, Christina, Caleb, Zeke, Shauna, Cara, and Matthew ride a zip line from the Hancock Building, where Tobias scatters Tris's ashes and finally accepts her sacrifice.

The Kidd siblings: Storm, (Stephanie) Tommy, (Thomas) Bick, (Bickford) and Beck, (Rebecca) used to live a happy life on their ship until their father Thomas Kidd goes missing during a storm. Their mother also went missing three months earlier in Cyprus. The Kidds hold a small funeral for their father who is presumed to be dead. They continue to treasure hunt, their family business. The Kidds start their treasure hunt in the Cayman Islands, which was their treasure hunt destination before the storm. The four of them go into the secret compartment in their ship, ''The Lost'', known as ''the Room'', where they find a list of the top ten greatest treasures of the world.

A speedboat follows the Kidds. They are taken to Louie Louie, referred to as ''the Big Man'', a person who previously had done many deals with their father. He says that he needs an item their father promised to give him in exchange for a bee amulet and repairing ''The Lost'' for the Kidds. Tommy takes a girl named Daphne for a tour of the ship. Bick and Beck search her and find out that she was trying to steal a ''mwana pwo'' African mask. Louie Louie takes the ''mwana pwo'' mask, the item he desired and gives the Kidds the bee amulet. They find a map in the bee amulet titled ''Cordoba's Lost Fleet'', which was a vessel that carried gold and silver bars that went missing after a hurricane. The map is later revealed to be a fake kept by the treasure hunter Nathan Collier, who was the number one nemesis of their parents. He informs the Police about their whereabouts who are about to take them to the orphanage but Storm's knowledge of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea saves them. We also learn later in the book that Solomon's knowledge helps them find where there dad is.

Tommy reveals that their father had discovered two of Cordoba's lost fleet shortly after Bick and Beck's birth and was instructed to reveal the treasure only when the Kidds were in a financial crisis. They take most of the treasure from the fleet, leaving some behind. Using Louie Louie's contacts they are able to sell the treasure to his associate in Miami. Timothy, their father's overseer, arrives at their ship and announces that he is living with them. Soon afterward, ''The Lost'' is followed by speedboats with pirates. They ask the Kidds for the key to the Room but they lie they don't have a key. The pirates then kidnap Beck as a backup. They use a lie-detecting device on her but she manages to outsmart the pirates and steals a bottle of Pentothal from them. They give her back to Timothy.

The Kidds, who have grown suspicious of Timothy, use the Pentothal on him after he goes to sleep. He reveals that he is a CIA agent and their parents were also spy agents who worked under him. The Kidds trust him and allow him to go to do his duty. Soon afterward, the pirates, who had used a long-range hearing device to spy on their conversations, come back. They are however tricked into jumping off the ship. Nathan Collier arrives suddenly by tracking Tommy's satellite phone. He takes the key from the Kidds and checks the room but doesn't find anything. The Kidds then travel to Portia Macy Hudson, an antique collector and trades the Bee amulet for a Grecian Urn. Daphne arrives at the spot and reveals herself as Portia's daughter, who tried to take the ''mwana pwo'' mask directly to Louie to trade for the bee amulet. The Kidds track Dr. Lewis who is actually Louie's brother. He says that the Grecian Urn is the one mentioned by the English poet John Keats in the poem,"Ode on a Grecian Urn".

Dr. Lewis reveals the real story behind their mother's kidnapping. Aramis, commonly known as the pirate king, sends their mother to verify whether the Grecian urn with the pirates was an original. It was a fake and the pirates, furious for their deal being broken, kidnaps their mother for saying the truth. The Kidds try to take the Urn to the pirates to free their mother but it is stolen from the Kidds by a group of girls working for Nathan Collier. The Kidds, having no choice, go to Aramis as they have the provenance papers for proving the urn as an original. The Kidds, once close to the urn, take it and run. Suddenly, CIA agents under Uncle Timothy's leadership arrive and arrests Aramis. However, he only can save their mother from being killed by the pirates by making a deal with them. He makes the call to not kill their mother and is set free but his possessions are taken. Later on, the Kidds receive an email from their father and enjoy. Later on, the narrator, Bick, reveals it was him who sent the e-mail to make the family happy by making them think their father is alive and tells the readers not to tell anyone.

She manages to find all three keys and enters a realm under the well of Refrain, but when she tries to make her wish come true, the spirit of ''Baba Yaga'' returns, revealing herself as ''Calamity Witch Furia'', who wrote the Tractatus de Monstrum and planned to possess a world-destroying entity called ''Velkuvrana'' to become the immortal ruler and destroyer of everything. It is also revealed that ''Dronya'' was a puppet that contains the spirit of ''Velnya'', ''Dronyas'' former self. She died trying to save ''Luca'' in the past and the guilt ridden ''Luca'' went to ''Baba Yaga'' who told her to put ''Dronyas'' Spirit into a puppet. ''Dronya'' had no memories of this and sends ''Luca'' and the ''Tractatus de Monstrum'' to the surface of Refrain, where she has to fight a monstrous fusion of ''Baba Yaga'' and ''Velkuvrana'' to save their world. ''Baba Velkuvrana'', not having fully matured gets defeated by ''Luca'' and her puppet soldiers.

''Luca'' wants to use the keys to revive ''Velnya'', but they have to pass a trial to fulfill the wish - moving up a long staircase to the surface without looking back for even a single time. Before they reach the surface, ''Dronya'' learns that the memories she made as ''Dronya'' - her life together with ''Luca'' - would fade after her resurrection. She uses her power to command ''Luca'' to move upstairs without looking back and turns around to leave the world without forgetting about all the happy times she spent with ''Luca''. She vanishes while wishing to be reunited with her beloved ''Isara''(''Lucas'' deceased mother and ''Velnyas'' lover) in the afterlife.

Alex Cross and his family, who live in Washington, D.C., travel to Starksville, North Carolina, so Alex and his wife Bree can help clear Alex's cousin Stefan Tate of a murder they suspect he did not commit. Stefan, a school teacher, is on trial for supposedly murdering Rashawn Turnbull, a boy in his class, and almost everyone in town is convinced he's guilty and wants him to hang. Alex has not been to Starksville since leaving as a child thirty-five years ago. The Cross family has not found the town to be welcoming to them, partly because they are there to help clear Stefan.

Alex travels to Belle Glade, Florida, to get information on his father, who was said to have committed suicide near there. He meets a veteran Palm Beach County, Florida, sergeant, who is convinced Alex can help him catch a brutal serial killer in Palm Beach County. It turns out that the sergeant is Alex's long-lost father Jason. Meanwhile, Alex looks into Marvin Bell, a local businessman who has had dubious influence on the Cross family during Alex's childhood and is said to have orchestrated Jason Cross's fake death.

After investigation, it turns out that Bell teamed up with Rashawn's maternal grandparents to ship a highly potent addictive drug across the South and were making large profits off of this drug. Rashawn's grandfather had killed Rashawn due to feeling shameful about the child's mixed heritage, then pinned it on Stefan since the latter had been investigating into the Starksville drug trade. It is also discovered that the entire judicial system of Starksville had been under FBI investigation for corruption. Following the incident, the FBI moves in and arrests all the judges in Starksville, with Stefan's case being dropped.
