Protagonist April May discovers a large robot sculpture in Midtown Manhattan. She and her friend Andy Skampt decide to film it and post the video online, which goes viral and makes April an overnight celebrity. All over the world identical structures—known as "Carls"—have appeared in major cities at exactly the same time.

It turns out that there are 64 Carls distributed in cities across the globe, which have miraculously appeared at once. As well, gradually almost all of humanity find themselves entering an interactive Dream when they sleep, within an identical landscape filled with puzzles that provide clues when solved. Over the course of a few months April and her friends work to solve the codes and riddles of the Carls through the Dream.

Several governments restrict access to Carls, leading April to become more politically active, which leads to April being interviewed on one news show alongside the conservative pundit Peter Petrawicki, who has written an already bestselling 20-page book called ''Invaded'' arguing that the Carls, representing a foreign invader, could be dangerous. For the following months, April cultivates a friendly persona, and writes her own book, saying that people should use the social internet in a positive way to work together at solving the sequences, some of which require specific knowledge and collaboration.

April then tries to solve the final clue, a unique sequence only she has access to, which would complete the vector image. After she discloses to the public that the 767 sequence exists, Robin tells her that the Defenders have solved it. Miranda gives April the apparent solution: a nearby address and the words, "Only April. No One Else." In her haste to beat the Defenders to the solution, April rushes to the address against Maya's advice, where she finds a large empty warehouse. She live-streams herself on Facebook, expecting to communicate with Carl. The warehouse is a trap, however, the product of tampered hex numbers.

April is locked in the warehouse, which becomes engulfed in flames. Facebook commentators realize that the lyrics to a song playing in the warehouse—David Bowie's "Golden Years"—have been changed to say, "In every town around the world each of us must be touched with gold". In an epiphany, April tells her hundred-million-strong worldwide audience to touch a sample of gold to each of the Carls simultaneously. The police tell April to break a window and jump out, but after she does so, a burning wooden beam falls on, crushes, and presumably kills April.

April, suddenly transported into the Dream, talks to Carl and learns that Carl indeed arrived to observe humanity. In addition, Carl specifically picked April to make First Contact.

In the real world, New York Carl launches into the air, and every Carl in the world simultaneously vanishes. In the next few weeks, the world reacts to April's death, and The Defenders are completely discredited for their actions. Eventually, the world returns to normal. Months later, Andy hears a knock at his door and receives a text from April saying, "Knock Knock".

Demons and humans band together to fight for the fate of humanity when an ancient prophecy unleashes an evil spirit, hell is brought upon the world.

Kai resolves to orchestrate a “night of a thousand Tates”, referring to the infamous Tate murders. Gary and a few of Kai's followers break into a local Planned Parenthood office. Once inside, Gary is surrounded by Kai and his followers wearing their clown attire and he is stabbed to death. During an interview, Kai suggests that the incumbent senator is responsible for Gary's murder.

Kai begins to suspect that there is a mole in the cult. He begins having hallucinations where he receives advice from Dr. Vincent and Charles Manson. Ally tells Kai that she has found a listening device. The doorbell rings and Kai instructs Ally to stay where she is. Kai answers the door and finds Bebe standing there. They both go to the basement where Bebe tells Kai that he isn't keeping his end of the deal they made a year ago. Bebe pulls a gun on Kai and Ally shoots her in the back of the head.

That evening, Winter shaves Kai's head in the bathroom. Kai tells Winter that he feels as though she's slipping away and she tells Kai that every follower of his will leave him one day except for her. Kai tells Winter that he is planning on having her by his side when he is in the White House and they briefly hug each other. Kai then suggests that Winter run away to Montana and pulls out the train ticket she gave to Beverly earlier.

In the basement, Kai, convinced that Winter is the mole, demands her to confess. When she denies that she is the mole and refuses to confess, Kai tearfully strangles her to death. Speedwagon runs to his car afterwards and destroys a wire. Ally enters his car and greets him.

Kai recounts the affairs of infamous cults and their leaders including Heaven's Gate, Branch Davidians, and the Peoples Temple. After affirming the loyalty of his militiamen, Kai declares his intention to run for Senate at a city council meeting.

Winter explains her plan on how to escape a cult to Ally and Ivy. Before they can set a plan in motion, Ally, Ivy, and Winter are escorted to the Anderson house by Speedwagon and the other militiamen and led to the basement where Beverly attacks Winter for blaming Samuels' death on her. Yearning to draw a connection between his own political movement and the mass suicide at Jonestown committed by Jim Jones, Kai requires each of his followers to drink presumably poisoned beverages. When they do so, Kai reveals that the drinks were untainted after everyone else has finished their cup.

Ally and Ivy intend to pick up Oz at school and flee but discover that he was picked up earlier by Winter. They frantically drive to the Anderson home to find Oz unharmed. Kai claims that he was the donor whose sperm inseminated Ally when she became pregnant with Oz. Ivy insists that Oz should stay with Kai, his purported father, for the time being. Back at home, Ally prepares dinner for Ivy and confronts her for attempting to gain sole custody of Oz with the aid of Kai and his cult. Ivy scoffs at Ally's threats of retaliation and warns her that she will revert to her old skittish ways but Ally had laced the pasta and wine Ivy has been consuming with arsenic. As Ivy begins succumbing to the poison, Ally notes that murdering her is an act of retribution that will remedy her phobias. The next day, Ally arrives at a fertility clinic and manages to acquire the records of Oz's sperm donor. She then bribes the clinic worker to falsify the file. Ally invites Kai to her house for dinner and presents him doctored evidence that he is Oz's father. After disposing and preserving Ivy's body with lye, Ally and Kai embrace Oz.

The young orphan girl Elisabeth from Stockholm is going to celebrate Christmas with relatives in Västlinge vicarage. When she arrives the day before Christmas the local shopkeeper is meant to pick her up at the station, but because of a misconception, Elisabeth is left to walk alone in the dark, in the deep snow all the way to the house.

In Ridgecrest, California, twenty-four year old Jae, (Barton) is released from prison for murdering her mother 7 years prior. She is reunited with her older brother, Robin (Davis) at their childhood home and finds herself quickly wanting to escape the bad memories that still preside there.

When Jae discovers that Robin will soon be leaving town to go to a desert music festival, 'Burn The Moon' in Death Valley with his girlfriend Rosemary (Zoli) and her friends Heather (Rosendorff) and Jasmine (Kelly Brannigan), she said she'll tag along.

Once the group is on the road, the car breaks down in the middle of no where. A good samaritan, Clay (Busey) tows the car to the local mechanic, Archer (Sebastian Bach) who informs them, that the car will take at least 2 days to fix. While waiting at a local bar being served by Lizard (Gerry Bednob) some guys- Troy (Ford), Dax (Michael Milford) and Wade (Tyler Sellers) who stopped at the mechanic for gas and a drink, also on their way to the festival, offer to take the group along with them. Eventually they all head off together for the festival in the boys RV.

As they head toward Death Valley they accidentally take a wrong turn in the darkness, and have no choice but to set up camp for the night. The group experiments with peyote, Jae and Troy have a semi-romantic tryst and Jasmine, unbeknownst to the others, accidentally kills the battery in the RV, while playing with the headlights when high.

In the morning, they wake up to find that Rosemary is dead - assumed to have overdosed on the peyote or to have had some kind of bad reaction. The RV is now stranded, they have no cell reception and are completely lost. They have no choice but to take off on foot, leaving Rosemary's body behind in the RV.

Things then continue to get progressively worse for the group. Over the course of the following 72 hours Wade gets bitten by a rattle snake and can no longer continue on with the group. Dax stays behind to look after Wade, until he eventually dies. Tensions start to rise between Robin and Troy until Robin decides that they will have a better chance of survival if he takes off alone in search of help.

A huge sandstorm then hits the group which suffocates and kills Jasmine. Now alone, Dax - though having survived the sandstorm, sees no way out and jumps off a cliff face, committing suicide. Soon, Jae and Heather separate from Troy and eventually Heather dies from dehydration.

In the end, a helicopter soon finds Robin and it is assumed that he is rescued. Jae finally finds a road and is picked up by a passing family. And at the very end of the film, after the credits have run, we see that Troy stumbles upon the 'Burn The Moon' festival, now over and done with.

''The Malacia Tapestry'' is a novel about Perian de Chirolo, a poor young man who is both a rogue and rarely-working actor, in the imaginary city of Malacia, which resembles Renaissance Venice. De Chirolo lives in a humble attic, cadges meals and drinks in taverns, seeks love affairs with many women, and mingles with artists, astrologers, magicians, and nobility in the bustling port town. As the story opens, De Chirolo enjoys his free time with his young friend Guy de Lambert, who is also an actor. The pair pass their days drinking, jesting, and having affairs with women.

Malacia has a legendary curse that it can never progress or change, which is enforced by a powerful Supreme Council, which also eliminates heretics and other freethinkers. The craftsman Otto Bengtsohn, though, defies the anti-progress edicts and invents a type of early photography. Bengtsohn uses the camera to make slides of a play, which is funded by the powerful and wealthy Andrus Hoytola. De Chirolo falls in love with Hoytola's daughter, Armida, who is acting in the play. De Chirolo starts a secret love affair with the wealthy Armida, but she tells him they cannot marry unless he achieves enough in to make an acceptable mate.

Despite De Chirolo's professions of love to Armida, and their secret plan to marry, De Chirolo has sexual encounters with a number of women. De Chirolo starts to fall in love, and decides to cease his womanizing. As De Chirolo works with the other participants in the play, he meets working-class apprentices who call for progress and changes in society, which is against the law in Malacia. As De Chirolo tries to rise in Malacian society, he feels frustrated at his lack of progress in being accepted by the nobles.

When Andrus Hoytola invites de Chirolo to join the annual hunt for "ancestral animals" (rare examples of the almost-extinct dinosaurs), de Chirolo is pleased to mingle with nobles and slay a seven-ton Devil-Jaw. However, de Chirolo's rise in Malacian society unravels when Andrus Hoytola learns that Bengtsohn is a Progressive who hopes that his zahnoscope slides can be used to foment a revolution against the ruling class. As the elder Hoytola suspects that de Chirolo is in league with Bengtsohn, de Chirolo ends up banished from society and Bengtsohn is killed. As the story ends, Bengtsohn's fellow Progressives try to recruit de Chirolo to join their plans for a class revolution.

In the fictional play, Prince Mendicula is a powerful prince who has just conquered the kingdom of Gorica, which lies in ruins as a result of his attack. The Prince was aided in this military conquest by his General Gerald, a noble, rich friend. The Prince's wife is the beautiful Princess Patricia. General Gerald has no wife as the play starts, but he hopes to marry a woman from the conquered city, the Lady Jemina. As the Prince tours the captured city, he becomes entranced with a dark-haired woman who he meets at the inn he is staying in, and he makes drunken advances on her, which she rebuffs; unbeknownst to the Prince, the object of his affections was Lady Jemina.

During the time that the Prince is exploring Gorica, he worries that Patricia may have been unfaithful with General Gerald, so he rushes back, but he finds them asleep in separate rooms. Patricia smells the liquor on the Prince's breath, and draws away from his embrace. Her coolness plants a seed of anxiety in the Prince's mind regarding Patricia and the General. After struggling with his doubts, the Prince urges Patricia and the General to enjoy their friendship. When the Prince leaves to establish his rule in Gorica, the General takes Patricia to balls and opera shows. Patricia becomes less warm towards the Prince, which makes the Prince feel guilty for his attempted seduction of the dark-haired woman at the inn. The Prince begins to obsess over the dark-haired woman, seeing her at the inn and talking with her all night. When the Prince returns home in the early hours of the morning, he finds Patricia and the General together, walking in the garden, which they claim was a coincidental early arising.

The General tells the Prince that he wants the Prince to meet his unnamed bride-to-be soon (which we know to be Lady Jemina). The General praises the Prince for his enlightened attitude towards the General's relationship with Patricia and for the Prince's seeming lack of jealousy. The Prince accuses Patricia of a sexual relationship with the General, a suspicious attitude which only serves to push her more into the General's arms. Meanwhile, the Prince happens to encounter the dark-haired woman, who is upset that her husband-to-be is consorting with another woman. The Prince consoles the dark-haired woman and holds her, which leads to sexual intercourse.

The next day is the dark-haired woman's wedding day, so when she awakes, she feels she has betrayed the General, and says that she must die by suicide to end her dishonour. The Prince finds it a strange coincidence that the dark-haired woman's wedding is on the same day as General Gerald's wedding. When the Prince tells the dark-haired woman about his friend General Gerald's impending wedding, the dark-haired woman, Lady Jemina, is distraught even more.

When the Prince realizes that his lover is General Gerald's bride-to-be, the Prince tells Lady Jemina that Patricia has been spotless in her virtue. The Prince goes to Patricia and tells her he will cease looking at other women, and begs her forgiveness. Patricia is cool towards him and says she takes his guilt as an admission of having taken a lover. Patricia gets remote and haughty, and she tells the Prince that despite his repentance, it is too late, and that she is enjoying her affair with Gerald too much. The Prince is shocked at their affair, but Patricia insists the Prince must have known, as he encouraged them to spend time together. Patricia expresses scorn for the Prince, and even when he gets angry, she is only amused, and tells him that she is not attracted to him because the Prince is not frivolous and superficial enough, traits she has come to find relaxing and appealing.

When General Gerald enters, the Prince calls him out as a vile betrayer, and the Prince draws his sword. The General draws his sword, and they duel. The General is wounded, and falls back. The Prince hesitates from delivering the death blow, when suddenly a messenger runs in. The Lady Jemina has been found dead by suicide, dressed in her bridal gown. The Prince is stricken by grief, and falls back. Seeing his opportunity, the General leaps up and stabs the Prince, who gives a last look at Princess Patricia, before dying on her bed.

Setting

The games put an emphasis on the legendary Pokémon Necrozma which, in these versions, takes Lusamine's place as the primary antagonist of the games. As with ''Sun'' and ''Moon'', the games are set in the Alola region which is based on Hawaii. Although largely the same, the new games feature additional buildings and locations in comparison to the first installments. Multiple main characters featured in ''Sun'' and ''Moon'', such as Lusamine and her children, return in the game with significant changes. A new group, the Ultra Recon Squad, is introduced with differing characters in the two games. Ultra Megalopolis, a vast city where Necrozma has robbed all of its light sources, is located within Ultra Space and is accessible through the Ultra Wormholes.

Another antagonist group, Team Rainbow Rocket, is featured in a post-game story and includes all of the previous antagonist group leaders featured throughout the series, ranging from Giovanni from ''Pokémon Red'', ''Blue'' and ''Yellow'' to Lysandre from ''Pokémon X'' and ''Y''. Legendary Pokémon from previous generations are also included.

Story

Similar to ''Sun'' and ''Moon'', the player character is Elio and Selene, who moving to Melemele Island in Alola with their mother. As is tradition, the player has rivals on their journey: Hau, a friendly boy who accompanies the player throughout the story, and Gladion, the estranged son of Lusamine. During their travels in Alola following the region's traditional island challenges, they complete trials which involve battles with powerful Pokémon known as Totem Pokémon, and encounter numerous groups — a villainous one known as Team Skull, led by a man named Guzma; a more charitable one known as the Aether Foundation, led by a woman named Lusamine; and another called the Ultra Recon Squad, who came from a different dimension, the Ultra Megalopolis, where Necrozma has stolen its light. Much of the story revolves around multiple legendary Pokémon: a Cosmog, nicknamed Nebby, who eventually evolves into a Solgaleo in ''Ultra Sun'', or Lunala in ''Ultra Moon''; and Necrozma, who attempts to seize the light from Alola.

During the climax, Lusamine uses Nebby to create a wormhole to the Ultra Megalopolis, where she and Guzma attempt to fight Necrozma for the sake of the Ultra Recon Squad. However, they fail and are thrown back into their dimension later on in the story, with Necrozma following them. Necrozma fights Nebby, now a Solgaleo or Lunala, and prevails. Necrozma then absorbs the legendary Pokémon, gaining its Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings form in the respective version, and unleashes the Ultra Beasts upon Alola before fighting the player. After the player defeats it, Necrozma escapes into the Ultra Megalopolis, taking the world's light with it while the player, with the help of the Ultra Recon Squad, travels on the opposite legendary featured in each game—Lunala in ''Ultra Sun'' or Solgaleo in ''Ultra Moon''—through Ultra Space to reach the Ultra Megalopolis. There, the player battles Necrozma, this time in its true form, as Ultra Necrozma, for the fate of the world and to rescue Nebby. The player defeats it once more, bringing light back to Alola. After completing these trials, the player proceeds to battle a newly established Elite Four and later defeats Hau to become Alola's first true Pokémon League Champion.

In the post-game, the player encounters Team Rainbow Rocket, a dimensionally displaced group based on Team Rocket from ''Red'', ''Blue'', and ''Yellow''. The aforementioned group seizes control of the Aether Foundation's headquarters and takes Lusamine hostage. The player stages a counterattack alongside a reformed Guzma, Lillie, and former Team Plasma leader Colress. Battling through villainous team leaders from the past games—Maxie and Archie from ''Ruby'', ''Sapphire'', and ''Emerald''; Cyrus from ''Diamond'', ''Pearl'', and ''Platinum'', Lysandre from ''X'' and ''Y'', and Ghetsis from ''Black'', ''White'', ''Black 2'', and ''White 2''—the player finally encounters Giovanni, who leads Team Rainbow Rocket and has a Mewtwo at his disposal. After the player's victory, Giovanni vanishes, wondering "what new world shall [he] unleash [his] evil schemes upon". The player can then explore the Ultra Wormholes, the worlds of the Ultra Beasts, and catch them with the Beast Balls they have acquired. After catching Necrozma at Mount Lanakila, Colress will appear and give the player the N-Solarizer or N-Lunarizer, allowing Necrozma to fuse or separate from Solgaleo or Lunala respectively. Once the player has caught the Ultra Beasts, the Ultra Recon Squad will tell them to defeat or catch Stakataka in ''Ultra Moon'' or Blacephalon in ''Ultra Sun''.

Martin Hoffmann is an employee of the Günzlow tobacco company, where there are many pretty girls, above all the chief secretary Renate Winter, who has his eye on him. This in turn annoys his girlfriend Gisela Steinberg, who now simply says that she is pregnant. So she wants to bind Martin even closer to her. He is very receptive to the marriage he is considering, as he loves her too. Only Mathilde Steinberg, Gisela's mother and caring wife of the music professor Steinberg, is against marriage because she sees no future for the two of them due to their low income. But because of the lie about the expected child, she agrees. Since the young couple does not yet have their own apartment, they have to live in a furnished room with their parents. Martin is bothered by the piano lessons his father-in-law gives, but his mother-in-law's constant interference is much more annoying. So they have to find their own apartment and move pretty quickly. But now happens what the mother-in-law foresaw. Martin's income does not allow you to set up a household. The beautiful furnishings could only be bought in installments. The debts grew over their heads, and the bailiff was not long in coming.

When Gisela talks to her friend Lily, she finds a way out of the precarious situation that Martin doesn't need to know about. A friend of mine named Mayer, a hosiery manufacturer, is looking for mannequins and he pays very well. So it didn't take long before Gisela brought home the first 50 marks of self-earned money and gave it to Martin. So that he didn't worry, she told him that it would be a lottery win. He still believes in the approaching stork and, to Gisela's horror, buys a used stroller without thinking about the furniture installments that are still outstanding. But when Martin then finds out where the money really comes from, that the children are not ready yet and that her behavior towards the stocking manufacturer also suggests more intimate connections, his heart bursts and Gisela moves back to her parents. The next step is to contact a divorce lawyer.

At first she likes the role of the offended diva, but then she realizes that her love for her husband is very strong. She secretly goes back to her own apartment to bring about a reconciliation. She had suffered from the thought of a lonely, unhappy man and now finds Renate Winter with him. Gisela rushes away, offended again. But Renate had only come to see if things were going right. Not without the help of Gisela's smaller siblings, the two get back together and are really expecting a baby.

The Island of El Dorado lies between the Philippines and Borneo and is under the jurisdiction of neither. The ownership of the island was granted to an American soldier of fortune named Dirkson after the First World War by the Royal house of Sulu.

Three weeks after the "Horde" incident at the Philadelphia Zoo, David Dunn, a superhuman vigilante coined “The Overseer”, and his son Joseph track down Kevin Wendell Crumb, a man struggling with dissociative identity disorder (DID) who has been nicknamed The Horde, at the abandoned factory where he is holding four cheerleaders hostage. David engages Kevin's superhuman personality, The Beast, in a brief battle until armed forces led by Dr. Ellie Staple intervene and imprison the men at Raven Hill Memorial, a psychiatric hospital. Elijah Price (a.k.a. Mr. Glass), who intentionally caused the Eastrail 177 train wreck David survived 19 years earlier and sees himself as David's destined foe, is also being kept at the facility, but he is kept under sedation and therefore considered completely harmless.

David and Kevin are placed in separate rooms that contain unique security measures based on their weaknesses of water and light flashes, respectively. Staple explains that she believes that they suffer from delusions of grandeur and do not have superpowers. Mrs. Price, Elijah's mother; Joseph Dunn; and Casey Cooke, a victim who survived The Horde's captivity, all try and fail to convince Staple that superhumans are real. As part of her final evaluation, Staple brings the three men to a room where she challenges them with explanations for their seemingly superhuman abilities that are not supernatural. David and several of Kevin's personalities become confused and distraught, while Elijah remains catatonic.

That night, Elijah escapes from his room and conducts research on The Overseer and The Horde. He visits Kevin and says he has been feigning his sedated state and plans to escape the institute, but he requires the help of The Beast to do so. The next morning, Staple sees surveillance footage of Elijah outside his room and performs a prefrontal lobotomy-type procedure on him. When he is alone with his caretaker, Elijah kills the man, revealing the procedure was unsuccessful because Elijah had sabotaged the surgical laser. He frees Kevin and then manipulates David into using his strength to break out of his room by relating a plan for The Beast to reveal himself to the world at the opening of the Osaka Tower, a new skyscraper in Philadelphia, while Elijah destroys a chemical lab in the building, potentially killing thousands.

Mrs. Price, Casey, and Joseph arrive at Raven Hill just as Elijah, Kevin, and David escape. Staple, also witnessing the fight, decides to call the authorities to move in on the superhumans. David and The Beast fight in the Raven Hill parking lot for a while before Elijah tells The Beast that David's weakness is water, at which point Joseph reveals that Kevin's father died in the train wreck that Elijah caused. The Beast thanks Elijah for contributing to his creation by making it so that Kevin was raised solely by his abusive mother before mortally wounding him for manipulating the situation that led to Kevin's abuse. He throws David into a water storage tank, but David is able to break through the side, drenching the surrounding area. Casey manages to bring Kevin's dormant original personality into the "light", at which point a sniper fatally shoots him, and Kevin dies in Casey's arms. While a SWAT officer drowns David in a flooded pothole, Staple reveals she is part of a clandestine organization that has been suppressing the existence of superhumans for millennia by tracking and killing those with superhuman abilities, as they see such individuals as a threat to the stability of the world order.

In the aftermath, Staple deletes the surveillance footage of the confrontation and makes plans to move on to investigate the next case of suspected superhumans. However, when she overhears a group of comic book nerds discussing the tropes of a super-genius mastermind, she realizes Elijah must have had a secret plan and discovers he arranged for the Raven Hill surveillance footage of the fight to be live-streamed to a private website, leaving her and her organization defeated. Mrs. Price, Joseph, and Casey each receive a copy of the footage and release it to the public, finally exposing the existence of superhumans.

The youngest among them, Roman, is engaged to his childhood flame, Mia, who are about to get married. While Deklan is traumatized by his past and Brandon has a family to look after, Mia and Roman try to have a good time by partying away their last few days of bachelordom. During one of her bachelorette parties, Mia ends up pissing off two small-time thugs, Vince and Frank, both of whom work as sex traffickers for a local kingpin named Max Livingston. After being insulted by Mia, Vince and Frank abduct her from the club and take her to their boss as a special offering.

In the meantime, Detective James Avery relentlessly tries to collect evidence against Max Livingston but fails to find anything legit. Adding to this, the existing corruption in the higher hierarchies of the police department keeps his hands tied.

Before getting abducted, Mia leaves a voice note for Roman, explaining the situation. Realizing that his brother’s military experience could come in handy, Roman calls Deklan and asks him for help. Deklan first makes a 911 call and then tries to raid a home in which he suspects Mia is being kept. Unfortunately for him, Mia is nowhere to be found, and the three brothers land themselves in some serious trouble for breaking several laws. This leads them to Avery, who promises them that he’ll help them rescue their sister and even warns them to stay out of the case. But Deklan refuses to comply with the request of the detective. As a result, the three brothers deck themselves into military-grade vests and weapons and set out to save Mia.

In the final moments of the film, the three brothers raid a warehouse in which Max intends to hide his trafficked girls in transportation trucks before sending them off to Vegas. The raid goes as planned, and the three brothers are not only able to rescue Mia but many other girls who were being trafficked. However, as soon as they reach back home, Max shows up with his men and attacks them. During this home raid, Brandon gets shot and dies on the spot, but Deklan efficiently manages to kill all of Max’s men. In the nick of time, Max manages to flee the scene before getting shot by Deklan.

Towards the end, Deklan and Roman get arrested by the cops, but Max still walks free. As a result, Avery reaches his absolute limit and resigns from his job as a cop.

The book begins with U.S. President Jonathan Lincoln Duncan rehearsing a potential testimony with a House of Representatives select committee. It has been discovered that the president made a phone call to Suliman Cindoruk, the leader of the cyberterrorist group Sons of Jihad, and he is accused of negotiating with a terrorist. It was also discovered that the president ordered an attack to stop some Ukrainian operatives in Algeria who were attempting to kill Suliman. In the attack, an American CIA operative was killed and Suliman escaped. The president's aides advise him against testifying at the hearing, believing it will only lead to impeachment proceedings.

Duncan, a widower and former governor of North Carolina, has had immune thrombocytopenia—a disease causing low platelet count—for most of his political career, and the disorder has recently flared up again, forcing him to take steroids that impair his mental ability. Duncan then meets with the Speaker of the House, who has been the primary advocate for impeachment, and unsuccessfully attempts to convey to him the strategic importance of his suspicious-looking decisions.

Duncan's daughter Lily, who is studying in Paris, receives a message with the code "Dark Ages" from a young Eastern European woman named Nina, who used the girl's middle name—her deceased mother's first name—to reach her. She tells her father about the strange person and the message, and she is requested to come back home immediately. The code word was known only to eight people, all high-ranking Cabinet or Cabinet-level officials, and is the code name for a cybersecurity operation that America is running after its systems were hacked.

Determined to know the source of the leak, the president invites Nina to the White House. She tells the president that she only has half of the information the president needs. In order to get the full story, he must meet with her partner, who will give him the remaining pieces of the puzzle. Nina asks Duncan to meet her partner in a stadium where a baseball game is scheduled to take place later that week on a Friday. The president arrives at Nationals Park, incognito and without Secret Service protection, and meets the partner, named Augie. Meanwhile, mercenaries who were contracted by Suliman Cindoruk—a sniper known as Bach and two ground units—prepare to ambush and assassinate Nina and Augie.

As Augie and the president leave the stadium, the assassin shoots and kills Nina, who was waiting in a van for the president and Augie, and the ground units converge. Duncan, who fought in the Gulf War with the Army Rangers, takes Augie's gun and manages to shoot two members of the ground team. The arrival of the Secret Service stops the shootout, and the president and Augie are extracted. The Secret Service, ignoring the president's demands, had followed him after seeing the baseball tickets while searching Nina earlier at the White House. The president's convoy heads to Virginia, but they are ambushed again. Two Secret Service agents are killed in the ensuing attack, but the president is unharmed and drives off with Augie. He arrives at a safe house, where he takes stock of the events of the evening. He learns that Nina and Augie created and distributed a highly destructive computer virus for Suliman, but they left and warned the US when they realized what it would do. The virus is scheduled to take effect the next day, which begins in a few hours.

In the morning, a Laboratory Response Network building in Los Angeles is destroyed in an explosion, and soon after, investigators discover that a large California water treatment plant was hacked and was about to distribute contaminated water. Believing it to be a decoy, the president keeps his top cybersecurity team working on the virus threat instead of diverting them to help in California. He had previously arranged a covert meeting with leaders from three other major countries. The Prime Minister of Israel and the Chancellor of Germany arrive and are greeted warmly, and Augie explains the full extent of Dark Ages: it is an attack that would completely destroy the data on every internet-connected device in the US, leaving the country vulnerable to outside attack and forcing the government to retreat from its foreign policy objectives. The President of Russia was invited but sent the Prime Minister in his place; this creates distrust among the other delegations, who see it as another sign that Russia is sponsoring the attack. Duncan reveals that the US military has quickly built a rudimentary international network to maintain defensive abilities in the event of the Dark Ages virus launching.

Duncan begins to suspect his vice president of being the leaker. She is still bitter that Duncan had beat her in the primaries, and she would take over as president if Duncan were impeached. The cybersecurity team, with Duncan's help, discover a way of rendering the virus ineffective, so they test it on a server at the Pentagon. This test inadvertently sets off the virus throughout the nation, but it is suspended after deleting only a few files. If the correct disable keyword is not entered in thirty minutes, Dark Ages will wipe everything out. At the same time, Bach and Suliman's other mercenaries attack again to kill Augie, but they are stopped by the Secret Service and a Marine Corps helicopter, and Bach is captured. Duncan assembles his top aides to try to guess the password, and at the last second his chief of staff correctly guesses the password and disables the virus.

As they return to the White House, Duncan reveals that he had actually earlier entered the password, which he got from text messages with the anonymous leaker recovered from Nina's phone. Assembling his team to guess was just a ruse to lure the leaker into the light. The president confronts his chief of staff and tells her that he has evidence that she leaked "Dark Ages", and she tipped off Suliman as well. She had tried to frame the vice president, so she could be the hero and then take over as vice president, rescuing a once-promising political career nearly ended by a microphone gaffe. Duncan learns that Suliman had been sponsored by Russia and a faction in the House of Saud, both of whom wanted to weaken the superpower status of the US so they could expand their territory without interference. The president's popularity soars, and impeachment talks are dropped.

Merton and his partner Grady (Michael Maize) visit Arkham Asylum to meet with Jonathan Crane (Charlie Tahan), who is still traumatized after suffering the effects of the fear toxin. Throughout time, Jonathan's mind created a "Boogeyman person" that has been haunting him. Merton and Grady bribe the Warden (Damian Young) to release Jonathan, who leaves a drawing in the form of a scarecrow. They take him to his old home where his father left his experimental drugs. They force him to do more fear gas with the use of a scarecrow. The gang then uses the gas to do a bank heist, spraying the people with the gas in order to make the heist easier.

Investigating the heist, Gordon tells Bullock (Donal Logue) that the method is the same as Gerald Crane's and deduces that someone must have taken the formula from Jonathan. After interrogating the Warden, they go to Grady's apartment but are ambushed by him and Merton. Merton explains that they plan to send a message to Cobblepot regarding the licenses and they leave. Meanwhile, Selina (Camren Bicondova) and Tabitha (Jessica Lucas) attack a group of thugs. When returning to their apartment, Zsasz shows up, claiming that they should go to Cobblepot's club inauguration to get their licenses and forget everything between them. Selina is interested but Tabitha refuses and tells her to pack so they can find a new place.

Cobblepot gives a conference to inaugurate his new club, the Iceberg Lounge and shows the attendees Nygma's (Cory Michael Smith) frozen body as a hall exhibition. Gordon, using an advice from Bruce, visits him and taunts him that the gang does not fear him, prompting Cobblepot to set to catch the gang. The gang decides to attack the club's inauguration and have Jonathan make more toxins and then lock him in a closet with a scarecrow. He then begins to have a severe hallucination with the scarecrow, who seemingly comes to life. In the GCPD, Gordon is attacked by a group of cops that are loyal to Cobblepot's methods.

In the Iceberg Lounge, Bruce finds Selina on the rooftop and they discuss about what happened at the hospital when Bruce says sorry to Selina about apologising, just before Alfred takes him to the inauguration. The gang prepares to attack when Cobblepot and Zsasz catch them and announce to the public their intentions. This disgusts Ivy (Maggie Geha), who cuts the power and the gang attack, spraying Cobblepot with the fear toxin, making him hallucinate Nygma. The gang is knocked out but Grady manages to escape. The next day, Bruce retrieves the list of criminals with the licenses. However, he accidentally slips on a house where it's been robbed. He is then caught without the mask by the GCPD. Grady returns to Crane's house to get more toxin from Jonathan. However, he discovers Jonathan has adopted a new persona, naming himself "The Scarecrow" and sprays Grady with fear gas.

The GCPD arrives at the Crane house to discover the experimentation tests. Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Bullock (Donal Logue) then discover Grady (Michael Maize) tied, scarily yelling that "The Scarecrow" is coming.

Bruce (David Mazouz) manages to get released from the GCPD, claiming he was on the roof and accidentally falling off in the wrong time. Although suspecting him, Gordon decides to let him go but Fox (Chris Chalk) also suspects about Bruce. In Arkham Asylum, Warden Reed (Damian Young) destroys his evidence when he is visited by Jonathan (Charlie Tahan) in his Scarecrow persona. Jonathan sprays him with fear gas and makes him face his biggest fears. He then sprays the rest of the inmates in the infirmary.

Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor) arrives at the GCPD and confronts Gordon for not catching Jonathan while also being teased for his ridicule in the club opening. They then a make a deal in which Gordon needs to catch Jonathan within 24 hours, otherwise Cobblepot will clean the city his way. Meanwhile, Selina (Camren Bicondova) and Tabitha (Jessica Lucas) are summoned to a building after they've received a card saying "An Opportunity Awaits" where they shockingly discover Barbara (Erin Richards) is alive and well. After getting on to trust her, she proposes to build a new criminal empire selling weapons for the new criminals but she can't go forward without their help, Tabitha refuses saying that she killed Butch and took everything from her and she leaves in a fit, she then tells Selina to talk to her about it and says that this would be good for us. She also negotiates with Cobblepot to become partners with them.

Gordon decides to go to stop the mutiny in Arkham but everyone in the precinct, including Bullock (Donal Logue) refuse to go with him. Inspecting an area, he is attacked by the mutineers while Jonathan decides to set his revenge on him for killing his father. After chasing him, Jonathan sprays him with the gas, making Gordon hallucinate Lee's (Morena Baccarin) suicide. Jonathan tries to compel him to kill himself but Gordon resists. He is then attacked by inmates in a hall but upon defending himself with water, he discovers water dissolves the gas. He uses a ceiling sprayer to heal everyone but Jonathan escapes. Bruce begins stalking a gang to a building but is caught and severely attacked by the gang before finally using his skills to defeat them and escape. He is confronted by the leader when he is knocked out by Alfred (Sean Pertwee). While arguing in Wayne Manor, they are visited by Fox. Fox says that he is aware of his activities but he also developed a special suit that Wayne Enterprises used for military purposes.

Tabitha and Selina eventually decide to team up with Barbara but Tabitha decides to first chop off Barbara's hand as she and Butch both lost their hands by Cobblepot. This is revealed to be just a test to prove her trust and she spares her saying she'll start work on Monday. Gordon arrives at the GCPD and is confronted by Cobblepot, who berates him and even tells the fellow officers to go working for him. Ivy (Maggie Geha) decides to retrieve some potions from a store and interrogates the man with her perfume to give her the combination to the safe. After consuming them, her face begins to mutate. Gordon and Bullock go to a bar where Harvey suggests that they would require an army to take down Cobblepot. Gordon then decides to go and visit Falcone.

The following morning, Dorgan is found dead near Myrtle's apartment. The police pick up both Myrtle and Crane for questioning, but there is not enough evidence to make a case against them. During their interrogation Crane tries to shift interest onto O'Hara. When they are released, Crane thinks it would be best for Myrtle to leave town for a while, at least until the heat about Dorgan's murder dies down.

Frustrated with the lack of progress being made by the police. Janet decides to investigate for herself. With the departure of Myrtle, there is an opening at Crane's club, and Janet applies for and gets the job. Crane becomes interested in Janet, and she begins to lead him along. As they are talking, O'Hara storms in, angry at Crane's having attempted to finger him for Dorgan's murder. There is an instant attraction between Janet and O'Hara. As Janet and O'Hara's romance blossoms, she continues to attempt to pump Crane for information about her brother's murder. O'Hara proposes to Janet, but she turns him down, since he is a boxer, and she hates boxing.

Meanwhile, Myrtle has heard about Crane's interest in Janet, and returns to town, intent on staking her claim. Seeing a way to make Myrtle's return work in her favor, Janet plans to force a confrontation between Crane and Myrtle, with the police listening in. As the night of the title fight approaches, Janet sets the trap up at Crane's apartment for the night before the fight. When O'Hara learns that Janet is over Crane's apartment, he heads over there to confirm it. When he does, he jumps to the conclusion that there is something going on between the two. He heads to the nearest bar to drown his sorrows. Janet goes through with her plan, and has Myrtle show up at Crane's. During the argument between the two, Myrtle and Crane reveal enough of their murder of Dorgan to allow the police to arrest them.

When the fight takes place the following night, O'Hara is still drunk and subsequently loses the fight. When Janet finds him and tries to explain what was really going on, he doesn't want to hear about it, but when he sees her report in the paper, he understands she was telling the truth, and the two reconcile.

Madelynne Cabrone is the wife of gangster Joe Cabrone. She is having an affair, and her husband finds out about it and tracks her to a roadhouse, intent on killing her lover. She escapes in her car, but when it breaks down, she takes to the road, where she is picked up by the unwitting Sam Harris. Joe catches up to them, and believes Sam to be the man Madelynne is having an affair with. He is about to move in to kill him, when Sam is stopped for speeding. When Madelynne tells her story, it is printed in the papers, and Sam becomes something of a hero for saving her.

Joe vows to kill Sam within twenty-four hours. T. McGillicuddy Hungerford, a wealthy businessman hears of Sam's heroism and offers to give Sam a huge order. Thinking that the order is dependent on him playing the hero, Sam keeps up with the pretense, although he is scared to death. A rival gangster, Tobey Moran, gives Sam two bodyguards to protect him from Cabrone. As part of Cabrone's plan to kill Sam, he sends him two tickets to a masquerade party at a local speakeasy. McGillicuddy, known as "Mac" wants Sam to go to the masquerade with him and two women. Since all wear masks, no one knows that one of the women is Madelynne.

Sam's wife, Lena, believes that he is cheating on her, and also goes to the masquerade. Cabrone and his men show up as well, dressed as policemen. They abscond with Sam and Mac, taking them back to their hideout. Moran's men follow and a gunfight ensues where Cabrone and his gang are wiped out. The police arrive and declare Sam and Mac to be heroes, whereafter Mac awards the contract to Sam, and Lena understands the truth about Sam and Madelynne and forgives him.

Notorious serial rapist Carlos "El Gato" is condemened to death by electric chair. Upon his execution he is offered a deal by Satan in the form of a woman in which he is promised all the drugs and wealth imaginable in exchange for raping and murdering in the name of Satan.

Horrific murders which once lived only in a young man's nightmares suddenly begin occurring in chilling reality in his hometown.

In 1964, Del (Jonah Ray) proposes to his girlfriend Sue (Kelly Vrooman) in Honey Island Swamp. However the couple hears Victor Crowley's (Kane Hodder) moans. Fearing that someone has been hurt, they investigate and find a hunter, who is decapitated by Crowley. The couple flees, but Crowley catches up with them and kills them.

In 2017, survivor of the Crowley massacre Andrew Yong (Parry Shen), who is believed by some people to have committed the murders himself, appears on his ex-wife, Sabrina's, show ''The Sabrina Show'', to promote his new book about the events.

Meanwhile, Chloe (Katie Booth), her boyfriend Alex (Chase Williamson), and her best friend Rose (Laura Ortiz) plan to get Andrew to help them film a trailer for a movie they're making about the Crowley massacre. Andrew’s manager Kathleen (Felissa Rose) quickly ushers him out of the signing, much to the chagrin of Chloe, who never got to pitch her idea.

Andrew and Kathleen head out on a private charter plane with Sabrina and her crew: Austin (Brian Quinn), Casey (Tiffany Shepis), Jay (Tezz Yancey), and Zach (Blake Woodruff). However the plane's engine explodes and crashes in Honey Island Swamp, killing the pilots.

Elsewhere in the swamp, Chloe, Rose and Alex are about to begin filming their trailer alongside eccentric, swamp tour guide/local actor Dillon (Dave Sheridan). Rose and Dillon head off to investigate while Alex tries to calm Chloe down. Rose plays a video of Reverend Zombie (Tony Todd) reciting the voodoo curse that originally brought Crowley back.

At the plane wreckage, the survivors find Casey trapped underneath the seats with the water slowly rising. Rose and Dillon arrive and attempt to help the survivors when Crowley's screams are heard. Chloe and Alex find the old Crowley house, now a museum and memorial. Crowley then attacks the pair, killing Alex. Chloe flees and makes it to the plane wreckage, but is grievously wounded by Crowley, who drags her away, leaving her injured but alive as bait.

Kathleen begins to suffer from a panic attack and flees the plane. Austin attempts to stop her, but is killed by Crowley. Kathleen manages to contact the emergency services, but is killed by Crowley before she can say anything. Upon finishing Chloe off, Crowley attacks the plane, making it sink further and drowning Casey.

As the group begin to argue, Crowley attacks the plane again with a belt sander, and he almost damages the circuitry which restores power to the plane. Dillon locks himself in the pilot's cabin, hoping to radio for help and start the engine so they can use it to kill Crowley.

Andrew, Sabrina and Rose all flee in separate directions with Sabrina stealing Kathleen's phone from Rose before heading to Dillon's boat. At the boat, Crowley decapitates Sabrina. He then chases after Rose and throws her at Andrew and Dillon, who got the engine working. A stand-off between the three and Crowley ensues where Rose attempting to use Crowley's hatchet also fails to stop him, instead giving him the weapon back. Dillon tackles Crowley into the turbine, splattering Rose and Andrew in his and Crowley's blood.

In a mid-credits scene, Marybeth Dunston (Danielle Harris) watches a news report on the crash and the discovery of several mutilated bodies. Realizing Crowley has once again returned, she grabs a shotgun saying, "I've been waiting for you, motherfucker."

A falsely imprisoned young man attempts an escape from a prison work detail in Louisiana ten years later.

After acquiring a clown painting that is implied to have originated from 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York, a Rhode Island senator named Ty Pangborn dons clown makeup and uses a shotgun to kill his dysfunctional family during his son's birthday party, afterward committing suicide while forlornly stating, "This isn't funny." A week later, a trio of thieves led by Drake break into the Pangborn residence in search of the clown painting, and are murdered by a spectral clown, which rips out and eats Drake's heart. A priest is then shown being interviewed about 112 Ocean Avenue. The priest explains that even though the house was at some point destroyed, its evil still lives on in the form of objects (including a lamp, a clock, a mirror, a dollhouse, and a cymbal banging monkey toy) that were scavenged from it and sold to oblivious buyers all over the United States.

In Nebraska, Ben and his wife Michelle purchase the toy monkey from an antique shop called Jesse's Junk Drawer. The monkey causes Ben and Michelle to begin having nightmares about demons and 112 Ocean Avenue while it uses its supernatural powers to terrorize Michelle and corrupt Ben, who it influences into beating and raping a prostitute and Michelle. The monkey afterward alters Ben's memories so that he no longer remembers his crimes, also altering his perception of reality so that he can no longer even see the wounds that has he inflicted upon Michelle. Michelle throws the monkey away, but it returns to her, so she calls Jesse's Junk Drawer to inquire about it, and is told by the antique dealer that the monkey was acquired from the estate of Mark Janson, a man who slaughtered almost his entire family during a reunion in Lincoln. Michelle researches the Janson family massacre and visits its sole survivor, Mark's institutionalized daughter, Julia. Michelle learns about the familicide committed by Ronald DeFeo Jr. in 112 Ocean Avenue, about the "cursed objects" taken from the house that have instigated "copycat crimes" all over America, and about "a theatre full of people that's possessed."

When Michelle returns home, she is attacked by a shotgun-wielding Ben, who declares that she is to be sacrificed to Beelzebub. Michelle shoots the monkey with Ben's shotgun, and afterward flees the house with a recovered Ben. The antique dealer is then shown collecting the destroyed monkey, which he reassembles and puts back up for sale in Jesse's Junk Drawer.

Bob (Josiah Polhemus) is a typical, frustrated forty-something guy. He spends his days wandering and drinking. The more help he is offered the more frustrated he becomes. One might think that his situation is typical of millions of others who have suffered a sense of loss and a frustrating lack of purpose once they reach forty. But Bob is a bit different... Bob used to be Captain Truth, a masked superhero fighting crime throughout the Bay Area. Now, however, he's just Bob, and it's hard to get used to.

Mimi (Amy Prosser), Bob's girlfriend, is facing her own challenges. Years ago she dreamed of moving to Rome and becoming a museum curator, but now she finds herself as an assistant in a law firm, with the chance for a lucrative promotion. As her future takes shape, she wonders if it's the future she really wants.

Mimi encourages Bob to write a book, in an effort to soothe his mind and put things into perspective. He hires Danniell (Natalie Lander), a college English major, to help him get his thoughts down cohesively. She thinks Bob's book is worth publishing, and has her eyes set on Bob himself. As Bob and Danniell's relationship blossoms, Bob is tempted to risk losing Mimi, the one thing in his life that makes any sense.

Meanwhile, Mimi discovers that she's pregnant. Bob has always been insistent that he didn't want kids, and with a potential new promotion, and her relationship with Bob deteriorating, she wonders if giving up the child might be the smartest thing.

They both struggle as they learn that the best way to make the future worthwhile is to live the current moment as if it's the most important of all.

Morty invokes his deal with Rick to choose every tenth adventure in order to answer the Vindicators' call for help, having previously worked with them off-screen. As the group are briefed on the dangers of Worldender, an irritated Rick interrupts to insult the superheroes Supernova, Million Ants, Crocubot, Alan Rails and Vance Maximus. The only Vindicator he doesn't attack is Noob-Noob. In the meeting, Morty is upset to discover that the Vindicators met for a second adventure that Rick and Morty were not invited to.

The next morning, the Vindicators arrive at the briefing room to discover an unconscious Rick in a puddle of diarrhea. Noob-Noob stays behind to clean while the rest of the group leave to defeat Worldender. As a groggy Rick awakens, he destroys an automated turret which was firing at the group. They soon find Worldender and his henchman already killed. A large screen descends on which a drunken Rick from the night before begins to monologue.

Inspired by the 2004 film ''Saw'', Rick has set the Vindicators tasks to complete; if they leave or fail then they will be killed. Vance attempts to leave through a ventilation duct, setting off traps which violently kill him. As Alan threatens to kill Rick, Morty announces that he has solved the first puzzle, in which descriptions have to be matched to each Vindicator. Any matching is valid, Rick's point being that they are all functionally the same.

The second puzzle is to choose the place on a map that the Vindicators refuse to speak about. Crocubot is killed with the wrong guess Dorian 5, a planet that the group exterminated, but Morty understands the solution is Israel, which Rick rants about while drunk. In the third puzzle, the group try to score basketball three-point field goals while Morty aims to disarm a neutrino bomb. However, argument breaks out over Supernova's past relationships with Rails and Million Ants. Supernova breaks up a fight between Rails and Million Ants with a force field but Million Ants still kills Rails.

The last task is to place on a platform the only part of the Vindicators which Rick values. Rick thinks it is Morty, who stands on the platform and is transported to a chamber meant for Noob-Noob where Rick on video says how much he appreciates Noob-Noob. Back in the lair, Supernova kills Million Ants and is prevented from killing Rick by a party planned by drunk Rick which suddenly breaks out, at which Logic performs.

To bolster Jerry's self-esteem, Rick takes him on an adventure at Morty's request, where they visit an otherworldly resort within an immortality field. Jerry encounters Risotto Groupon, an alien who blames Rick for his kingdom being usurped. Risotto enlists Jerry in a plot to kill Rick, but Jerry backs out after Rick apologizes for damaging his marriage. The attempt fails, and Rick realizes Jerry's involvement, sparking a monologue of him accusing Jerry of deliberately acting helpless to guilt others into helping him, such as making Beth feel she was obligated to marry Jerry. They depart the planet, but are ambushed by Risotto, who intends to kill Rick. However, Rick outmaneuvers and kills Risotto instead. When the two return to Earth, Rick softens his attitude towards Jerry, yet refuses to allow him to return to the family.

Meanwhile, Summer struggles with her own self-esteem. Her boyfriend, Ethan, leaves her for a larger-breasted girlfriend, and Summer attempts to enlarge her own breasts using one of Rick's devices. Her efforts are clumsy, and instead grows herself to bizarre proportions. Morty wants to call Rick for assistance, but Beth refuses. Hoping to prove her own self-worth, Beth repeatedly fails to fix the problem and ends up turning Summer inside-out. Beth is then tricked into releasing three tiny technical support workers that were trapped inside the machine when she calls for tech support. Summer disappears to the campsite she and Ethan were supposed to go, still inside out. Beth turns herself inside out and talks to Summer. Once Morty figures out how the machine works, he restores Summer's size and spitefully uses it to deform Ethan in an act of vengeance. In the post-credits scene, the three tiny workers are enjoying their retirement next to a river. As an extremely deformed Ethan walks by, one of them is snatched by an eagle.

After a six-day outer space adventure that leaves them on the verge of psychological collapse, Rick and Morty decide to spend some time at an alien spa, where they use a detox machine that extracts a person's negative personality traits. However, without Rick and Morty knowing, those traits are transposed into sentient toxic physical counterparts, characterized by Rick's arrogance and Morty's self-loathing, trapped in the machine's storage unit. On the other hand, the Clean Rick becomes more considerate, and Clean Morty's confidence soars, which makes him more popular and allows him to start dating girls. However, a side effect is that both Clean Rick and Morty effectively lose their ability to form emotional attachments. As a result Clean Morty ruins a date with his crush Jessica and picks up another girl named Stacy instead.

Swearing revenge on Clean Rick, Toxic Rick tricks Clean Rick into bringing the storage tank back to Earth to switch places with them under the guise of remerging their personalities. The plan fails after Clean Morty refuses to be reaccept his toxic personality traits, with Toxic Rick and Toxic Morty getting released and Stacy getting trapped inside the machine. After fighting Clean Rick, he goes to his backup plan of using a moonlight tower to remake the whole Earth into a toxic version of itself.

Clean Rick reverts the situation by poisoning Toxic Morty, correctly deducing that the true Rick considered his compassion for Morty a weakness, meaning Toxic Rick has inherited that trait. Toxic Rick angrily merges with Clean Rick to save Toxic Morty, bringing back the true Rick. Clean Morty avoids merging back with his toxic counterpart and goes on to live a life as a stockbroker in New York City. Rick and Jessica track him down restore order by re-injecting Toxic Morty back into Clean Morty. In the post-credits scene, a tour of the same moonlight tower releases a frightened Stacy, who having assumed the tank was a sex dungeon frantically shouts out the safeword "sea cucumber."

As Rick and Morty prepare for an adventure to Atlantis, they are interrupted by another Rick and Morty looking for donations to the Citadel Redevelopment Fund. Morty wonders what is occurring in the Citadel. The episode then shifts to the Citadel to follow several intertwined plots.

The Campaign

In the Citadel, a presidential election is ongoing following the deaths of the Council of Ricks. The controversial Candidate Morty of the Morty Party wins the crowd over at the debates, but abruptly fires his Campaign Manager. Later, Campaign Manager Morty is approached by Investigator Rick, who delivers some secret files to him. At Candidate Morty's next rally, Campaign Manager Morty confronts and shoots him.

Mortytown

A newly recruited Cop Rick is partnered with a violent and obese Cop Morty who harbors anti-Morty sentiments himself. They meet with "Big Morty", who offers Cop Rick a bribe to keep quiet on his illegal dealings, Cop Morty himself having already accepted. When Cop Rick refuses, Cop Morty shoots Big Morty's henchmen, and a shootout ensues. After an emotional conversation, Cop Morty kills Big Morty. Cop Rick then kills Cop Morty and surrenders himself to police arriving at the scene. Once detained he is cleared of all charges due to recent changes in departmental codes.

Stand by Morty

The students of Morty Academy are told they will soon graduate and be assigned a new Rick. Upon hearing this, a group of Mortys led by the rebellious Slick Morty decide to search for the mythical Wishing Portal. At the Wishing Portal the next day, they decide to sacrifice something important in order to make their wishes come true, which each of them, bar Slick, immediately do. Slick, expressing a wish for life to change for Mortys, throws himself into the portal — which is then revealed to be a trash disposal. Saddened, the remaining Mortys return to the Academy, only to learn it has been closed. They believe this to be Slick Morty's wish coming true.

Simple Rick's

At a factory producing ''Simple Rick's'' Wafers, made with the titular Simple Rick's happy memories, employee Rick Sanchez J-22 is passed over for a promotion. J-22 goes on a rampage, destroying his assembly machine, killing his former Supervisor, taking Simple Rick hostage and then killing him in an escape attempt. Just as SWAT Team Ricks are about to apprehend J-22, they are stopped by the factory's owner, Rick D. Sanchez III, who commends J-22 for his courage and frees him. As J-22 is overwhelmed with emotion on being given a limousine, Sanchez III tasers him and uses his happiness as a replacement for the wafers' flavor.

Epilogue

The Secret Service Ricks reveal that Candidate Morty survived and will become President of the Citadel before throwing Campaign Manager Morty into space. Meanwhile, Rick D. Sanchez III takes his place with the Shadow Council of Ricks and President Morty, who proceeds to kill every member of the council who opposes him. Outside the Citadel, Candidate Morty's documents reveal the new President to be the Eyepatch Morty from "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind".

In a post-credits scene, the main Rick and Morty return home from Atlantis, satisfied with their trip. Rick confidently asserts that the events at the Citadel will have no effect on their own lives.

After Morty requests to have a traumatic memory deleted, Rick reveals a room where he has been storing a number of memories he has removed from Morty's mind, including those about how he inadvertently drove an innocent man to suicide, or how he accidentally sent an alien to hell. However, as it turns out, besides the memories that Morty did not want to keep from their adventures, the room also contains memories in which Rick was made to look foolish, so he forcibly removed them from Morty. This revelation prompts a fight, during which Rick and Morty have their memories accidentally erased.

Morty scours the memories around him to replace the ones he lost, but he is displeased with the truth he finds, and convinces Rick that they should kill themselves. Summer enters the room moments before they commit suicide. At this point, it is revealed that Rick has a contingency plan in place for an occasion such as this. Following written instructions, Summer tranquilizes Rick and Morty, restores their memories, and drags them to the living room, placing them on the couch. Then Summer administers smelling salts to revive Rick and Morty. As they wake up, they're both angry at Summer, believing she allowed them to sleep through several shows on "Interdimensional Cable." In the post-credits scene, Jerry discovers a box labeled "Jerry's Mind Blowers", which contains a memory reminiscent of ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'' where Jerry is accidentally responsible for the death of an alien.

Beth learns that her childhood friend Tommy Lipnip's father is about to be executed by lethal injection for murdering and cannibalizing him, and recalls that she coped by imagining he got lost in the magical fantasy world of Froopyland. However, Rick reveals that Froopyland was a real procedurally-generated and childproofed pocket dimension he created for Beth as a child, and she realizes her memories of Tommy getting lost inside of it are real.

Upon reentering to locate Tommy, Rick discovers that the animals have become predatory and dangerous from segments of human DNA. They deduce that Tommy survived to adulthood by having sex with the creatures, consuming the offspring, and then ruling the least palatable as a king. Tommy's minions capture them, and he also accuses Beth of deliberately trapping him in the dimension out of jealousy for his family by pushing him into a honey swamp in a murder attempt, which Beth denies. After Rick takes them back, Beth accuses him of being a bad parent, while Rick counters that he made Froopyland to keep her occupied because she was a violent child. Beth tries to go back to reason with Tommy, but ends up killing him and his offspring. Rick and Beth reconcile and manage to save his father's life by creating a clone of Tommy from his severed finger. Back at home, Beth is presented with the option of having a replacement clone of her created, so that she will be free to travel the world.

Meanwhile, Morty and Summer visit Jerry for custody weekend to find he has entered a rebound relationship by making a soul bond with an alien hunter named Kiara, which Morty warns is more serious than Jerry understands. When he decides to break up with her, he tries to blame the kids for forcing him to break up with her out of racist views, and an enraged Kiara tries to kill Morty and Summer. Jerry finally confesses to lying, and the situation is resolved following the revelation that Kiara was using Jerry to get over her previous boyfriend, much like Jerry was doing with her. In the post-credits scene, Jerry's answering machine plays messages warning him that Kiara's new boyfriend is coming to kill him, Rick saying that he has killed Kiara's boyfriend and had sex with her, and an appliance rental store clerk telling Jerry he can keep the answering machine since they are only used for exposition on television.

The President calls on Rick and Morty to defeat a monster in the "Kennedy sex tunnels" underneath the White House, which they do with little effort. Annoyed that the President constantly calls on them without any gratitude "like Ghostbusters", they go back home to play ''Minecraft'', with the President quickly finding out. After calling the pair and calling out their neglect of duty, the resulting argument leads to a battle of egos. Rick iterates they operate above the authority of the U.S. government, and the President declares they will not accept the two's services to save the world. However, they continue one-upping the President by negotiating a peace deal with a microscopic culture in the Amazon rainforest and a treaty ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It culminates in a fight in the White House between Rick and the President's security to force him to pose for a selfie with Morty, despite Morty saying he does not want one.

Meanwhile, Beth begins to fear she might be a clone made by Rick after the events of "The ABCs of Beth." When she asks Rick he denies it but also does not say if he would tell her if she was and mentions that if she was a clone who discovered her identity he would have to kill her, causing her to panic. Beth reunites with Jerry to figure out the truth, and they decide to get back together. Shortly after, the entire family gets together to hide from Rick because of his conflict with the President, but he tracks them down. Rick eventually reassures Beth that he will not kill her and submits to Jerry once again being a family member.

Rick ends his conflict with the President by pretending to be Fly Fishing Rick, a Rick from a different reality, and calling a truce. The episode ends with the family happy to be together again, although Rick is disappointed about losing his dominant position. In a post-credits scene, Mr. Poopybutthole returns to apologize for not appearing in Season 3, but he has gotten married and has a son. He ends the scene by saying that it will be a long wait until season four.

Chaos breaks out among the children at school in response to the cancellation of the day off on Columbus Day, due to an anti-Columbus Day campaign by Randy Marsh. Kyle and Stan confront him with photos documenting how Randy himself has dressed as Columbus many times throughout his life, from his wedding to as recently as 2013. This leads to depression for Randy, who says he feels "indigenous", confusing the term with "indignant". Randy sees a commercial for a genealogy company called DNA and Me, which includes testimonials from Caucasians who came to identify as victims after discovering that they harbored trace amounts of DNA of historically oppressed ethnic groups. Randy decides to have the DNA in his saliva tested, though he pays a Native American man to French kiss him to ensure the test results indicate that he has Native American DNA. Disguising his voice, Kenny makes a call to Peter Goltman, the school official who cancelled the holiday to get him to search the Internet for Randy's past photos, but Goltman refuses, as he believes everything on the Internet is fake news.

As Randy desperately tries to gather and dispose of his previous Columbus costumes, he is repeatedly visited by the Native American man he kissed, who has fallen in love with Randy. Randy rebuffs him, but during the man's second visit, a jogger films Randy, covered in the Columbus costumes he has been gathering, angrily kicking the Native American off his property. The boys later show this video to Goltman.

When Randy is informed by the DNA and Me staff of an "irregularity" from his test, they take a second, anal swab from him, in order to obtain more accurate results. He is informed that his DNA most closely matches Caucasian British person, and that 2.8% of it is Neanderthal, which cross-bred with modern ''homo sapiens''. An enraged Randy interprets this to mean that his ancestors were raped and eradicated by the ancestors of the DNA and Me staff. Returning home, Randy is confronted by Goltman, whom he punches for oppressing his ancestors, but the Native American man also appears, and implores Randy to cease his pretense, and face who he really is. Randy realizes that playing the victim has not solved his problems. At school, he announces that the school's Calendar Committee has reinstated the day off, which has been re-designated Indigenous Peoples' Day. Continuing to express belief that the word "indigenous" refers to negative feelings, he says this holiday will be for people to express such feelings, but the assembled crowd, offended at his ignorance, trades insults with Randy before gradually dispersing.

A scientist creates a tiny man. The tiny man is initially very popular, but then draws the hatred of the world, and so the tiny man must flee, together with the scientist (who is now likewise hated, for having created the tiny man).

In a utopian setting named Soul City, Cadillac Jackson, a reporter for Chocolate City Magazine, arrives in Soul City to cover the mayoral election and falls in love with a woman named Mahogany.

Venn returns home from his last tour of duty on "The Red" (Mars) and settles into his apartment in Seattle, Washington, remembering the events of that tour:

Venn and his squad's combat drop onto Mars goes badly wrong after their fleet is attacked in orbit by the Antags. Venn and a handful of survivors are forced to trek across the Mars desert, barely surviving from day to day by finding isolated caches of air and water dropped for previous expeditions. They are unable to establish contact with other elements of their force or their commanders, nor can they receive any intel on the enemy's numbers or locations. One ominous sign of the Antags' superior capabilities is when a comet impacts near the horizon, its course apparently directed by the Antags.

Just as they are about to asphyxiate, they are rescued by Teal, a runaway from a settlement of "Muskies", the leftovers of Earth's earlier, ambitious attempts to establish colonies on Mars.

Vera (Mara Corday) runs a nightclub that's really a front for her secret operation: an all-female crime ring that's been pulling off heist after heist. The gang does a major job with the help of Agnes (Abby Dalton), a new recruit and insider with access to a bank's payroll. But then the nervous Agnes threatens to squeal, so Vera has her rubbed out. And when Vera's good-girl sister, Helen (Barbara Bostock), starts dating suspicious policeman Bill (Mark Richman), Vera gets cutthroat.

Tough college student Tod Palmer (Robert Sherman) patiently suffers increasingly severe hazing at the hands of sadistic Ky Walker (Russell Johnson) while pledging a fraternity at Wake College. Attempting to bring the ritual initiation abuses to the authorities' attention, Tod accidentally dies after fleeing from the angry fraternity brothers. Medical professor Dr. Stephen Brice (Paul Henreid) then tries to end the practice of hazing, determined to obtain justice for one of his best students.

''Arena of Khazan'' is a scenario involving brutal combat in the arena of the City of Death.

Newly retired Al Hart (Chevy Chase) was a relentless talent manager who is slowing down, so his granddaughter Jeanie (Kate Micucci) suggests he move to a retirement village, where he can enjoy fine dining and regular entertainment.

There, Al discovers Buddy Green (Richard Dreyfus) is a resident. Buddy was Al’s first client and had potential for great success. 50 years ago he had booked him a spot on ''The Ed Sullivan Show'' back in 1967, which was considered the crown jewel of comedy gigs then. It would have established him as a major star. Inexplicably, he never showed up and quit comedy, instead choosing to raise a family and become a podiatrist.

Imagine Al’s surprise when Buddy turns out to be his tour guide in the elderly assistance home. Even more surprising, he is still getting laughs and being the life of the party.

After moving in, Al and Buddy reminisce about the good old days, Al lamenting the missed opportunity to be big stars in Hollywood. It’s at this point where Al, irritable with having to merge with people his age, tries to convince Buddy to let him manage him again.

Initially resistant, the what-ifs have never really left Buddy and Al, seeing the parade of residents to the morgue figures that he deserves a last shot to see if he has the stuff. When Buddy’s partner in the home passes away, he feels free to go for it.

Al finds his old rolodex and starts calling his contacts. He books Buddy on a cross-country tour, starting off in tiny venues in Podunk towns gradually working up to bigger shows until a big late night TV show in NYC. Al negotiates with his contact Vic to get Buddy on ''Jimmy Fallon''.

The first is a truck stop near Vegas, then Tiajuana, Tucson, Texas and Kansas. The two bicker like an old couple as they travel. As Buddy is exhausted, he crashes in the motel room.

Al wanders to a bar and meets free-spirited artist Doris in Kansas City (Andie MacDowell), becoming sweet on her. She accompanies them on to Chicago, and when they arrive at the hotel, Al is unsure what room he’ll be in.

Before Al can decide anything, his contact Vic tells him he didn’t get Buddy on Jimmy Fallon. In a quandry, he confides in Doris, who offers him `shrooms to get his mind off it.

Outside of the Chicago gig, Jeanie and Charlie Green finally find Al. Neither he nor Buddy had called either of them during their two week road trip, Charlie scolds Buddy in the dressing room, where he first hears that his dad had been a comic half a century ago. We also discover Buddy is dying of pancreatic cancer, explaining his marijuana use.

As with all the gigs, except Texas, Buddy is a roaring success. Meanwhile, Al is fully tripping on the ‘shrooms. He and Doris spend the night together. He finds a note from her in the morning, saying her goodbyes.

At first Al, feeling down about Doris and Buddy’s cancer suggests they quit. Finally telling him he didn’t get ''The Tonight Show'', Buddy says he doesn’t care and he is going regardless. Jeanie and Charlie join Al and Buddy in the ride to NYC.

Discovering Max Becker, a once-client of Al’s is doing the Stephen Colbert ''Late Show'' in the Ed Sullivan theater in New York, he seeks him out. He offers him a huge bribe to give him his slot for Buddy.

Buddy goes on the stage after Max introduces him. After his extremely successful performance, he looks up, apologizing to ''Ed Sullivan'' for standing him up on that stage 50 years ago.

Broke, we discover that Al has not returned to the home, and he’s now with Doris in Kansas. The message is, it’s never too late to pursue a dream.

Teenager Miriam Wilkins is an energetic activist during World War II. She blithely involves her family by enlisting them for causes without first gaining their consent. Her father Judge Wilkins and mother Edie are puzzled when Lieutenant William Seacroft, a complete stranger, appears at their home asking for their 22-year-old daughter Ruth. Bill has just returned from Italy, where he flew 25 missions over Germany as the bombardier of a B-26 bomber, but he has only two days of leave. He explains that he has been corresponding with their daughter and has fallen in love with her. He makes a favorable impression and promises to return later to meet her for the first time in person.

Ruth comes home and tells her parents that she is engaged to be married. They assume that she had encountered Bill, but she is engaged to her boyfriend Albert. They soon discover that Miriam had written Bill 60 letters but with her sister's name and photograph. Ruth wants to tell Bill the truth immediately, but when he arrives, she cannot bring herself to do so. When Albert arrives for a date with Ruth, she slips away with Bill so that she can tell him privately.

Bill takes Ruth to a play, dinner and dancing late into the night. Later, Ruth tells Albert that after Bill leaves for the Pacific, she will write to him and gently break off their relationship. She then reads the letters from Miriam.

The next morning, Ruth insists on taking Bill's young sister Martha out with them in order to keep Bill's amorous behavior in check, so Bill invites Albert along as well. Bill takes every opportunity to kiss Ruth, infuriating Albert. After Albert becomes separated from the group at a subway station, he is arrested when trying to enter another station without paying.

Martha arrives at the Wilkins residence with Bill's friend Sergeant Chuck Vincent. Martha had very recently broken off her relationship with Chuck, making for an awkward lunch. Bill and Ruth then appear and announce that they are engaged. When Bill leaves the room, Ruth reassures Albert that the ruse must only persist for a few more hours. However, Bill receives a telephone call informing him that he and Chuck will be instructors in Florida. Chuck and Martha reconcile and decide to be married, and Judge Wilkins conducts the ceremony.

Ruth tells Bill that she had only agreed to marry him because he was returning to combat. Miriam inadvertently reveals the whole truth to Bill, who accepts the situation, but after Martha and Chuck are married, Ruth has a change of heart. She and Bill are also married by her father before leaving for Florida. A sailor then appears, asking for Ruth, and a startled Miriam blurts out his name.

A twelve-year-old boy is disappointed by the fact that his mother brought a stepfather to their house. He constantly tries to distance himself from the man, inventing various stories, and is punished for doing so. While on vacation in Yugoslavia, his parents leave on a boat trip without him, and the boy accidentally witnesses a real murder. Later on, he tells this to his parents, but because of his previous behaviour, they do not believe him. However, this is not the whole trouble. The murderer has seen an unexpected witness of his crime, and now he wants to get rid of the boy.

In 1922, Wilfred "Wilf" James is a farmer living in Hemingford, Nebraska with his wife, Arlette, and their 14-year-old son, Henry. Wilf is strongly opposed to Arlette's plans to sell the farm and move to Omaha. He decides to convince Henry to help murder Arlette, holding Henry's girlfriend, Shannon, whose relationship Arlette opposes, at stake. Henry reluctantly agrees to assist his father in carrying out the murder.

Wilf pretends to agree to the sale, appeasing Arlette. As she celebrates, she becomes inebriated. After Wilf carries her to bed in a drunken stupor, Henry covers her face while Wilf cuts her throat with a butcher's knife. Wilf dumps her body into a dry well where her corpse is soon fed upon by rats. The next day, they drop a cow into the well to hide Arlette's body and provide a reason for filling in the well. Sheriff Jones is suspicious following her sudden disappearance; he searches the house, but finds no proof of a crime, tentatively believing Wilf's story that his wife absconded.

As time passes, Henry becomes brooding and isolated, regretting the crime that he and his father have committed. Shannon grows increasingly concerned and subsequently discovers she is pregnant with Henry's child. Her parents decide to send her to a Catholic institution in Omaha until the baby is born and will then be given up for adoption. Henry steals Wilf's car, arrives in Omaha, and runs away with Shannon.

As the winter passes, Wilf appears to be going insane, being constantly harassed by rats. He takes out a mortgage on his house to fix it up, but never actually does the work. The roofs on his barn and his house cave in, but he is too consumed by guilt and alcohol to fix them. His house falls in to a state of total disrepair and becomes completely infested by rats. One rat bites his hand, which becomes infected and must be amputated.

In a climactic scene, Wilf is confronted by the ghost of his wife, surrounded by the rats that ate her corpse. She corners him in the basement and sadistically whispers to him. She recounts, as the viewer sees, the fate of Henry and Shannon. They became robbers, known as the "Sweetheart Bandits.”

During one of their heists, Shannon is shot, causing her to miscarry the baby and ultimately die from massive blood loss in an abandoned house they found by the side of the road. Henry lies down next to her and dies by suicide with a handgun. Later, an unidentified woman's body is found on the side of the road, which the sheriff assumes is Arlette. Henry's body is delivered to Wilf, which, like his mother's body, has been chewed through by rats. No one attends Henry's funeral except for Wilf. He again sees the ghost of his wife surrounded by rats.

Wilf attempts to sell his land to Shannon's father, who bluntly tells Wilf to leave his property and never come back. After selling the land to the livestock company at a low price, Wilf moves to Omaha and finds a job hauling pallets, but cannot escape being followed by rats.

Eight years later, in 1930, Wilf writes his confession, concluding, "In the end, we all get caught." By the time he finishes, dozens of rats have swarmed his room. Arlette, Henry, and Shannon's corpses have appeared in front of Wilf. Brandishing the same butcher's knife used to kill his mother, Henry tells Wilf that his death will be quick.

The novel is set in a remote African village and follows the protagonist Idu and her husband Adiewere over a number of years. From the beginning of the novel, Nwapa ensures the reader is aware of the wedded bliss between Idu and Adiewere; they are absolutely devoted to each other as husband and wife. Their happiness together is portrayed to be overwhelming. In the African tribe, motherhood is coveted and being a mother is deemed to be far more important than being a devoted wife. Despite their desire for children, Idu and Adiewere remain childless for many years. During this time, Idu and Adiewere build a great business and become prosperous however when Adiewere's brother, Ishiodu is in trouble, they forfeit their wealth to help Ishiodu. As time passes, the pressure from the villagers for Idu and Adiewere to have a child becomes unbearable and Idu weeps that she has brought the curse of childlessness onto her husband. At Idu's beckoning, Adiewere takes a second wife, who he treats as a child rather than a wife. Idu unexpectedly announces she is pregnant and the village rejoices with the couple and bestows many gifts upon the popular couple. Upon becoming aware of Idu's pregnancy, the second wife leaves Adiewere.

Idu's son is born on the day of an eclipse which Idu believes is a bad omen, remembering a dream about having a boy that was so dark she did not dare touch the boy. Idu and Adiewere name their son Ijoma. Idu's sister Anamadi grows to love Ijoma and he spends most of his time with her. Two years pass and Idu is not again pregnant and thus Idu asks her husband to take another wife rather than constantly being berated as being ‘bad’ for denying her husband the privilege of more children.

The reader is then introduced to a second couple, Ojiugo and Amarajeme who also adore each other. Ojiugo is Idu's childhood friend. However, after six years and no children, Ojiugo leaves Amarajeme to live with her husband's friend in order to fulfill her dream of motherhood. Amarajeme is heartbroken and wears black and mourns his wife. Upon hearing the news Ojiugo has born a son, Amarajeme realises he is sterile and to blame for their childlessness and hangs himself. Ojiugo hears of Amarajeme's death and dies that same day from heartbreak for her first beloved husband.

After four years, Idu becomes pregnant for a second time and for a short time, the couple and the village rejoice in the pending birth of their second child. Tragically, Adiewere dies suddenly. After Adiewere's death, Idu does not weep, wear black or scrape her hair as tradition expects. Further, Idu refuses to marry Ishiodu, her husband's brother; Idu is steadfast that she will join Adiewere. Ultimately, Idu rejects life and dies in order to be with her beloved husband.

Manu, a 21-year-old newspaper boy, discovers a map in a book gifted by his treasure hunting grandfather. Believing the map points to treasure buried during the Paraguayan War, he finds the site is now an embassy and decides to infiltrate it.

Alex is a twelve-year-old boy, just starting secondary school in a London suburb. When his best friend Bedders is bullied by older students, Lance and Kaye, Alex comes to his aid. Alex, Lance, and Kaye are given detention by the headmistress.

Lance and Kaye plot to harm Alex. That night, the duo chase Alex as he heads home, but Alex hides in a nearby construction site, where he finds and extracts a mysterious sword embedded in concrete. Later showing it to Bedders, they discover that its markings identify it as Excalibur, the sword of King Arthur. Alex then playfully "knights" Bedders.

The wicked sorceress Morgana awakens underground and sends her Mortes Milles demons after Excalibur. The next day, a teenager appears from inside Stonehenge and presents himself at Alex's school as a new student. The boy reveals himself to Alex as the wizard Merlin, capable of aging backward, but will occasionally shift into his elder Arthurian form. Alex plans to return the sword, wanting nothing to do with ancient myths. That night, Merlin saves Alex from a demon and explains that he has four days to destroy Morgana, or she will enslave all of Britain.

The Mortes Milles only appear at night and can only be seen by Alex and those he has knighted, but an upcoming total solar eclipse will enable her to emerge fully into the world. Alex realizes that these events parallel an inscribed storybook his estranged father once gave him. Alex concludes he descends from Arthur through his father and later recruits and knights Lance and Kaye, who fight beside Alex and Bedders, defeating three demons. Alex declares them a new Round Table. Merlin soon tasks Alex to find the entrance of Morgana's Underworld prison.

Alex leads the group to Tintagel, where he last saw his father. En route, Merlin trains them in swordsmanship. But when Morgana infiltrates the lesson, Lance betrays Alex and takes the sword for himself. Merlin barely saves them, and Excalibur is destroyed when Alex and Lance come to blows in a marsh. As Lance and Kaye start to leave, Alex calls upon the Lady of the Lake, whose arm emerges from the water and restores the sword.

Resolving their differences and rededicating themselves to the quest, the four overcome a horde of demons by luring them over a cliff. Arriving at Tintagel, Alex meets his aunt Sophie who tells him that his father was an alcoholic who abandoned Alex and his mother, Mary. Sophie reveals that it was Mary who inscribed the book, which enrages Alex, feeling his mother is a liar, and he has come a long way for nothing. Merlin stops him, telling Alex that Excalibur is not handed down by birthright, but by individual merit.

Alex and his friends arm themselves, and Alex uses the storybook to locate the entrance to the Underworld. Alex challenges Morgana, who takes on a monstrous form and breathes fire, but Alex strikes her down, and the children escape. Believing Morgana is dead, Alex returns Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake, knowing that the police would likely confiscate it and makes up a story for his mother, who apologizes for her lie: she never told him the truth about his father or the book, because if he had known the truth to begin with, it would've made him more heartbroken.

On the day of the eclipse, Merlin informs Alex that Morgana was merely wounded, and Alex realizes that he violated the Chivalric Code by lying to his mother. In desperation, Alex tells her everything that has happened, then stuns her by summoning the Lady of the Lake into the bathtub, where he regains Excalibur.

At the school, Merlin enchants the faculty, and Alex knights the entire student body. During the eclipse, Morgana – in a huge, semi draconic form – appears with the entire Mortes Milles. The children fight back, using strategies combining medieval warfare with modern technology. Merlin casts a magic spell to pull Morgana from the world, and Alex decapitates her as she vanishes, dispelling all the demons. Alex, Bedders, Lance, and Kaye bid farewell to Merlin, who encourages them to become leaders. Alex once again returns the sword to the Lady of the Lake.

The opening scenes of this book, and some that are most interesting, are placed in Maryland. At the heart of the work was the dilemma of the title character, who married a respectable, if boring, middle class gentleman, and later fell in love with a more dashing man of her community. The fierce moral debate that subsequently raged inside Emily - whether to stay faithful to her husband, or to pursue her passion for her real love - eventually had a deleterious effect on her physical health. A conclusion came about, morbidly, with Emily's death.

In 2022, three years after the events of ''Blade Runner'', the Tyrell Corporation has developed the new Nexus-8 line of replicants, who now possess natural, open-ended lifespans equivalent to that of a regular human. This causes a massive backlash among the human populace, who begin hunting down and killing replicants, seeing them as a now very credible threat to humanity. One of these replicants, Trixie, is attacked by a group of thugs but is rescued by Iggy, who effortlessly disarms and kills them. Iggy reveals to her that he used to be a soldier on a planet called Calantha but deserted when he realized the enemy soldiers he had been fighting and killing were also replicants.

Iggy recruits Trixie for an operation carried out by an underground replicant freedom movement to destroy the Tyrell Corporation's database of registered replicants as well as the core internet servers, so that replicants can no longer be hunted. Trixie befriends Ren, who is a technician in charge of launching nuclear missiles and a replicant sympathizer. Ren agrees to redirect a test missile to detonate over Los Angeles, blacking out the city and wiping out all electronic data. At the same time, Trixie and Iggy hijack a fuel truck to physically destroy the Tyrell Corporation's servers. However, Trixie is killed while battling security forces with Iggy. The operation is a success, with the servers powering the internet destroyed forever and power to Los Angeles disabled permanently. Iggy manages to escape and removes his right eye, the only thing that can identify him as a replicant.

The ending narration states that in the aftermath of the Black Out and subsequent global collapse, all replicant production scientific activity was banned and the Tyrell Corporation, along with nearly every other company, went bankrupt, only for the Wallace Corporation to acquire the company and restart production of a new model a decade later.

In the opening scenes, Arthur Lambden, packs a photo of his son in his backpack and meets the young members of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, and their leader, Robert Butcher, on the path to Long Point, a camp on the shores of Balsam Lake in the Kawartha Lakes, which is located 145 kilometres northeast of Toronto. Both Butcher, who is the camp leader and Lambden, who is second in command, are veterans of World War I. Butcher tells Lambden that, while it was his first time operating a camping trip at Long Point, the group had camped at Clear Lake for many years. He told Lambden that the youth—whose fathers had died in the war or in the Spanish flu pandemic that followed the war—would benefit from being the rugged outdoors. Butcher is concerned that the boys of the generation that succeeded their own, were being, "feminized by their mothers and teachers." They begin their canoe trip late in the evening, and when their 30-foot war canoe is capsized during a sudden summer squall, drowning some, those that did survive spend the night in the frigid, dark lake waters clinging to the overturned canoe that is slowly sinking. The film flashes between scenes of the survivors struggling to ward off the freezing cold and fighting fatigue—hypothermia—and their fears, with lively, happy camp scenes earlier in the evening of the boys engaging in camping activities designed for male bonding, creating a "band of brothers". The movie focuses on the individual lives of some of the characters before the camping trip. George Waller played by Jake Manley, had an abusive father; Arthur Lambden, played by Brendan Fletcher, had survived the front lines in World War I only to return home as a carrier of the Spanish flu virus that killed his own wife and child; the two brothers—Will played by Sam Ashe Arnold and Jack played by Gage Munroe, whose father had been killed during the war; and Leonard, played by Matthew Isen, whose father had drowned years before the camping trip and who feared water. After surviving a harrowing night on the lake, only four remain alive and finally crawl onto the shores of Grand Island. They find makeshift paddles and return to Long Point.

Two sisters engaged on the same day: Adele, the younger, to Dr. Hugh Sainsbury, and Blanche, the eldest, to Harlan Day, an assistant district attorney. They are both suspected of committing a murder when Sainsbury is found dead. Blanche has a motive as Sainsbury almost dishonored her so that she wanted to prevent her sister from marrying him. Thanks to the testimony of two witnesses, a deaf woman and a blind man residing in the sanatorium where Sainsbury was working, the murder is resolved: the culprit is Amelia Ellingham, a nurse whom Sainsbury had seduced and to whom he had proposed to marry.

Titu's life at home and at school is miserable. Although Titu is his nickname, everyone calls him ‘Tita’ meaning sour. He hates just about everything. He thinks his teachers don't understand children; they become mad at them for no reason. He can't go to the library as it remains locked. Teachers insist on memorizing lessons. His elder brother Tito is an expert in doing that. Everyone considers him a good student. Since Titu doesn't like rote learning, so everyone thinks he doesn't like his studies.

Titu's school gets a new head mistress—Dr. Raisa. She begins to change everything. She stops the practice of caning. She opens up the library and talks to everyone with a smile. She never gets angry with anyone. DrRaisa believes that the system of our education is faulty. It's not good that only the teachers will talk and the students listen. This is one reason why students are not attentive. They have lost interest in studies.

Dr Raisa convinces a visually impaired girl, Ankhi, to attend her school rather than one for the visually handicapped. But finding her teachers uncooperative, Ankhi decides to leave school. Her friends however, intervene. They stand behind her. Ankhi tells them that she doesn't want to be considered a ‘blind’ girl. She wants to be just an ordinary girl, like any other. Her friends take the challenge. None of them thinks Ankhi is any different, least of all being a ‘blind’ girl.

But wanting to be normal is one thing, becoming one is quite another. Ankhi can't play with anyone. Titu however finds out that although Ankhi can't see, she can hear things much better than others. Titu takes the help of a shoe smith and makes a cricket ball which makes a sound when it's in play. He presents the ball to Ankhi. Ankhi feels ecstatic. She can now catch the ball when it flies, and can hit it with her bat. She becomes an excellent cricket player and shows everyone that blind people can do things just like the sighted ones if they are given an opportunity. The shoe smith doesn't take any money for the ball, but Dr Raisa brings him to school and honours him.

To celebrate their team's becoming champion in the cricket tournament, Ankhi visits Bandarban with her friends. There they are kidnapped by a gang of robbers who take Ankhi and five of her friends to a secret hideout. Their intention is to sell the girls to traffickers who will take them to Yangon. But Ankhi and her friends show exemplary presence of mind and intelligence to escape, and help the security forces capture the kidnappers.

Seeing the way Ankhi has developed, other differently challenged girls and boys enroll in her school. Even a wheel chair bound student joins the school's football team.

The story is about a 10-year-old girl named Max, living in Manhattan, NYC, whose interaction with a retired, fellow New Yorker teaches her about life and chess simultaneously.

At the beginning, Max goes to a local public school, but her parents feel that she isn't being challenged enough. They get her into a private school in the upper West Side, far from her home in lower Manhattan with a scholarship, but it means that her mother Sarah has to work many more hours. And Max has to take the subway every day.

On the way home after having to join the chess team without knowing how to play, while taking a detour through Washington Square Park, Max sees several people playing chess. The following day she asks Norman, who she had seen alone with a chess board, if he could teach her how to play. He initially discourages her, but her determination wins out.

Over a series of many days, Norman sends her on seemingly meaningless ‘tasks’, like not taking shortcuts to learn about chess. But rather, piece by piece, he describes how they move comparing them to people in the city. He explains Max  needs to think creatively and use her imagination. A pawn, like a small cautious child, needs friends by their side to support them. If they slip by unnoticed, they can eventually become a queen and win the game. A chess player has to adjust and change their plans with every move, just like in life.

So, the castle or rook moves only in straight lines, like how people can move in a church, along the aisle or down the rows. The knight like in small ovals… once she has learned how each piece works, he then starts her practising how to move them in a certain number of moves each time. First 5 moves, then first 20… She challenges her school rival, which angers Norman because he doesn't think she's ready. Max wisely says that it's time for her to make her own decisions.

A final lesson, Norman compares the timing in a chess match to life, that change is inevitable. ‘Enjoy it while it's here’. As she plays against her rival, she watches the other people in the park to remind her and help her with each move. Finally, she's in a position where she's told she can win in 3 moves, but chooses to forfeit the game and essentially return to her old life and school.

She learns that sometimes ‘an old pizza place closes so that a new one can open’.

These abusers and parents are in a position of trust but they choose to sexually abuse their young family members. It an epic story that explores how we perceive incest as a taboo and instead of addressing it and dealing with it, standing up to the abusers, protecting the victims, support the victims to stand up to their abusers and put an end to the abuse or the cycle, it is instead concealed due to societal pressures, fear, guilt, not knowing whom to talk to, where to get support from, feeling threatened, wanting to protect the abusers image, reputation, family name and even the fear of not being believed. The feelings are numerous and as a society, most people have chosen to keep this form of abuse as a secret leaving the victims and others to suffer as well as letting the abusers carry out repeated acts of failing to get treatment.

Ten survivors are brainwashed and put into a maze where only one can survive. They are living in a world where people put their fates in the contestants' hands, ruled by the rich. Based on an Italian TV series.

The Militia, a coalition of people from the Alexandria Safe-Zone, the Hilltop Colony and the Kingdom, prepare for war in an alliance to fight the Saviors. Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and King Ezekiel (Khary Payton) lead the respective communities in an assault on the Sanctuary. Meanwhile, Carol (Melissa McBride), Morgan (Lennie James), Tara (Alanna Masterson) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) lead a large horde of walkers towards the Sanctuary via controlled distractions.

Shortly after, Rick's convoy arrives at the Sanctuary and simultaneously fire warning shots. Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) steps out with his lieutenants—Dwight (Austin Amelio), Simon (Steven Ogg), Gavin (Jayson Warner Smith), Regina (Traci Dinwiddie), and Eugene (Josh McDermitt). After being taunted by Negan, Rick tells the lieutenants that he will let them live if they surrender, but reminds Negan that he will kill him. After none of the lieutenants accept Rick's offer, Negan tells Rick that he lacks the numbers to win a fight against the Saviors and instructs Gregory (Xander Berkeley), the leader of the Hilltop, to come out. Subsequently, Gregory steps out and asserts that the Hilltop stands with Negan, and the punishment to any Hilltop resident for fighting against the Sanctuary is banishment for the offenders and their families. Jesus (Tom Payne), speaking for all the Hilltop soldiers there, shouts that the Hilltop "stands with Maggie", refuting Gregory's power. Infuriated, Simon, after deciding he's no longer useful, aggressively pushes Gregory down a set of stairs.

On the road, a Savior caravan unintentionally activates a tripwire and sets off an explosion, which is heard at the Sanctuary. Rick tells Negan's lieutenants to make up their minds, but they don't respond. Rick starts a countdown, but ends it early, firing at the walls and windows of the Sanctuary, creating noise to draw the incoming walkers. Negan runs off as his lieutenants run back inside for cover. In the midst of the mayhem, Rick's fighters continue to spray bullets at the Sanctuary, but eventually retreat to their cars for evacuation. With signals sent by Carol's group, Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) positions their RV, rigged with explosives, in front of the Sanctuary fence and exits as it continues slowly moving forward. Rick uses a garage door opener to detonate the explosives, successfully breaching the gate.

Limping, Negan takes cover behind a sheet of metal as Rick, intent on killing Negan, continues firing at him, but Gabriel urges Rick to evacuate as well, reminding him of the plan. Before he goes, Rick uses an instant camera to snap a picture of Negan at the scene. As the herd closes in on the Sanctuary, Gabriel sees a wounded Gregory and, compelled to help, pulls him to shelter. Gregory panics and takes off, driving away in the car Gabriel was to leave in. With no other way out and surrounded by walkers, Gabriel finds shelter in a box trailer, but Negan is revealed to be there too.

Interspersed throughout, the episode cuts to four different scenes, but are not established when they occur relative to present events. In one, Rick and Carl (Chandler Riggs) are scavenging for gas when they encounter Siddiq (Avi Nash), a man of Middle Eastern descent, rambling to himself and begging for food. Carl tries to approach him carefully, but Rick fires a warning shot, scaring him off. Carl scolds Rick, but Rick insists the man could have been a spy for Negan. Carl later returns alone and leaves food for Siddiq, while Siddiq watches him from the nearby bushes.

''Sollers Point'' tells the story of Keith (Lombardi), a twenty-four-year-old newly released from prison and living with his father (Belushi) under house arrest in Baltimore. Keith is struggling to reestablish himself, and break free of the bonds forged behind bars, within a community scarred by unemployment, neglect, and deeply entrenched segregation. His intentions are in the right place and he possesses an aggressive desire to get back on his feet, but as he taps into all his familiar resources, he finds that he may be reverting to his old ways.

The story is told by Paul Dini at a stage, watched by an unseen and disinterested audience. He mentions his story about the assault done to him and the scars left afterwards is not a story he is known for, which are normally science fiction or fantasy, but it does involve one superhero: Batman. It begins when Dini explains how he was as a kid; invisible, attracting bullies whom he wishes he would fight back, but always escaping to the realms of his imagination that would be "with him" during the day. But one character stood out: Batman, thanks to the comics and the 1960s TV series. Dini's imagination got to the point where his school work suffered, leading to the question of what job can someone who loves cartoons and draws get, leading to his employment at Warner Bros Animation 25 years later. After the success of Tim Burton's ''Batman'', and influenced by the Fleischer ''Superman'' cartoons, Dini is hired to work on what will come to be the award-winning ''Batman: The Animated Series'' with Bruce Timm and Alan Burnett.

At the time working on what would become ''Batman: Mask of the Phantasm'', Dini goes on an unsuccessful date with an actress. She offers to drive him home, but Dini decides to walk home. On his way, he is approached by two thugs who decide to assault him violently, rob him, and leave him bloodied and left for dead. But Dini gets up, and in shock, returns home despite the massive pain. He reports the assault to the police, who unlike Batman, do not test a receipt pulled by the muggers for fingerprints; and when he tells them about his work, the cops laugh saying he wished Batman saved him. Dini takes a bath in hopes of healing the bruises, where he imagines Batman in the Batcave, who chastises Dini for not fighting back, despite Batman himself being skilled and a drawing. The next morning, still in great pain, Dini imagines Two-Face judging his actions, suggesting it was all because he wanted to look good toward his date. Friend and Harley Quinn voice actress Arleen Sorkin visits Dini, forcing him to go to the hospital. The damage is more severe than Dini thought: swollen face thanks to a shattered zygomatic arch, surgery is set to happen the next day. Because of the incident, Dini is not interested in writing about Batman, a man who fights crime, when a crime happened to him. Batman reappears again and Dini argues with his imagination when he points out that Dini knew what would happen to him, but ignore it and went ahead because of his fear of being judged. Moments before the surgery, Dini imagines being with Batman's Rogues Gallery, to which Poison Ivy criticizes Dini over the women he tries to set himself with, with one example last year who passed on going with him to the Emmy Awards. A night where Dini questioned why she did not like him that he cut himself with his award.

The surgery goes well, but Dini has made up his mind: he is not writing Batman anymore. Back at his apartment, Dini does not want to write any scenes for ''Mask of the Phantasm''. His imagination of the Joker appears, enjoying how low Dini has gotten, until Batman reappears and punches Joker away, demanding Dini to get back to work and stop being sorry for himself. This only gets Dini into wanting to buy a gun, until he remembers Nevada when he was a kid: his rifle nearly pointed at his brother's head when he tried to pull the trigger, vowing himself not to use guns, just like Batman. Dini starts drinking during cold nights, which leads to him getting pneumonia. Dini still decides to stay home, which leads to another conflict between and the imaginations of Batman and Joker, to which Dini realizes he is that invisible boy again when he was eight. Scaring himself, he asks Batman for help, to which he tells him only he can get himself out. Taking baby steps, Dini resumes work on ''Batman Animated'' and goes out shopping, sees a therapist (with Harley Quinn appearing along her too). This all begins to help Dini, and by doing things he loves, it helps him cope with the trauma from the mugging.

The audience is revealed to be Batman's Rogues Gallery. All of whom taking his story and morals of it apart, but Dini deflects all of them, winning the arguments they bring up. Explaining living in fear and wanting revenge was not the life he wanted to live after the incident. The villains go away, and using an old idea from ''Batman Beyond'', Joker is "walled up" in the Batcave. Ending his story, he thanks Batman for saving the day by telling him to stand up. He leaves his office at WB, but before he does, he bumps into Harley Quinn.

Lee Jong-su, an aspiring young novelist, performs odd jobs in Paju. One day he runs into Shin Hae-mi, a childhood neighbor and classmate, at a promotion at which he is making a delivery. Jong-su initially does not remember her, but Hae-mi tells him she had plastic surgery. Jong-su then remembers and gives her a pink watch that he won at the promotion. Later, she tells him about her upcoming trip to Africa, and asks him to feed her cat, Boil, while she is away. Before Hae-mi's departure, Jong-su's father, a cattle farmer, becomes entangled in disagreeable legal affairs, and Jong-su has to return to the farm. Jong-su visits Hae-mi's apartment, where he receives instructions about feeding the cat; they then have sex.

After Hae-mi departs, Jong-su dutifully feeds her cat, although he never sees it. He does, however, know that a cat is there because he finds feces in the litter box. He begins habitually masturbating in her apartment. One day Hae-mi calls, saying she had become stranded at Nairobi Airport for three days after a bombing nearby. When Jong-su comes to pick her up, she arrives with Ben, whom she met and bonded with during the crisis. The three go out for dinner, where Hae-mi recalls a sunset she witnessed during her travels. She cries and confesses that she wants to disappear. Ben is well-off, but doesn't give a clear answer when asked what he does for a living.

At Jong-su's farm, the trio smoke cannabis and Hae-mi dances topless. After Hae-mi has fallen asleep on the sofa, Ben confesses that every two months, he burns an abandoned greenhouse as a hobby. He notes that Jong-su's rural neighborhood is full of greenhouses. When asked when his next burning will take place, Ben claims it will be very soon and close to Jong-su's house. Jong-su chastises Hae-mi for disrobing in front of other men. She quietly gets into Ben's car and they drive off.

Jong-su keeps watch around the neighborhood to see if any greenhouses burn down, but none do. One afternoon, in front of an intact greenhouse that he is inspecting, he receives a call from Hae-mi, which cuts off after a few seconds of ambiguous noises. Jong-su becomes worried as she does not answer any of his calls, and begins to investigate after her phone number becomes disconnected. He convinces the landlady to let him into Hae-mi's apartment so that he can feed her cat. Hae-mi's apartment is unnaturally clean; her suitcase remains, and all signs of the cat are gone. Jong-su begins staking out Ben's apartment and following him to see where he goes. When he sees Ben's Porsche parked outside a restaurant, he goes inside to confront him. Ben insists that he did burn down a greenhouse near Jong-su's house. A young woman approaches the table, apologizing to Ben for being late. As the three of them leave the restaurant, Jong-su asks Ben if he has heard from Hae-mi and whether she had gone on a trip. Ben says he has not heard from her, and he doubts she had gone on a trip because she could not afford it. Ben says Jong-su was the only person she trusted and that it made him jealous for the first time in his life.

One day, Ben finds Jong-su waiting outside his place and invites him up to his apartment, where he finds that he has a new cat, which Ben claims is a rescued stray. On a visit to the toilet, Jong-su finds a pink watch, similar to the one he had given Hae-mi, hidden in a drawer containing other pieces of women’s jewelry. Shortly afterwards, Ben's cat runs out of the apartment and Jong-su finds that it answers to the name "Boil."

Jong-su asks to meet Ben in the countryside, claiming he is with Hae-mi. After Ben sees that Hae-mi is not there, Jong-su stabs him to death. Jong-su douses Ben's car and body in gasoline and sets it all on fire, tossing his blood-soaked clothes in as well. He stumbles naked to his truck and drives off.

Commissioner Maigret returns to Saint-Fiacre, the village he grew up in, where his father had been estate manager for the family owning the château. The widowed countess has asked him to come urgently because she has received an anonymous letter saying she will die next day, which is Ash Wednesday. He finds the château in a sorry state: its contents are being systematically sold by the countess' young assistant Sabatier and its lands by the current estate manager Gautier and his young son Émile, a bank clerk. They say they are doing this to fund the countess' son Maurice, an alcoholic playboy who rarely visits his now-sick mother.

Early next morning the countess goes to mass at the village church where, on returning to her pew after receiving the sacrament, she falls dead. The local doctor Bouchardon is not surprised, telling Maigret that her heart was weak and that she died of natural causes. When that day's local paper arrives, the front page reports that the young count Maurice killed himself in Paris the day before. But Maurice is in fact alive and has rushed back on learning of his mother's death. Ringing the newspaper, Maigret is told that the report was phoned in last thing without time to check.

Now convinced of a plot to rob and kill the countess, whose young favourite he had once been, Maigret starts his own investigation of what caused her sudden death and who wanted her dead. On returning to her pew she had opened her missal, which has disappeared. He finds it hidden in the sacristry and pasted in it is the newspaper report of her son's suicide. At the time of her death the day's newspapers had not reached the village shop, so somebody brought the cutting from the town where the paper was printed.

Without revealing his hand, Maurice has also been investigating and, while his mother's body is still lying upstairs, organises a macabre dinner party for those he suspects. At it, Maigret accuses both the doctor and the assistant of negligence, but not homicide, and then reveals that the plotters were the manager and his son, who sought to cut out Maurice and enrich themselves. He calls the local police to take them away.

The film starts with a close-up of Vivienne's (Sarah Jessica Parker) trembling blue eyes. Vivienne receives a call from her manager, Ben (Common), that she is late for a rehearsal. Afterwards, Vivienne finds out from her doctor, Dr. Marianne Holt (Mary Beth Peil), that she has a terminal brain tumor. After the visit with Dr. Holt, Vivienne walks aimlessly around New York City.

Their conversation ends with Vivienne rushing off for her Lyft. Throughout her Lyft ride, Sami (Waleed Zuaiter), the Lyft driver, gets in a heated argument over the phone. Vivienne, visibly uncomfortable in her Lyft ride, demands to get off early. She returns home and is greeted by her mother who bombards her with questions. Vivienne becomes increasingly annoyed and replies rudely to Jeanne. Jeanne apologizes to her and leaves the kitchen. After drinking a glass of wine, Vivienne locks herself in her room, sees a picture of her daughter, Lucie (Gus Birney), and starts crying. She realizes what she has done to her mother and went out to apologize and hugs her. Subsequently, she recalls that she has left her dress in her Lyft and calls Sami to retrieve it. Sami arrives outside Vivienne's house to return her dress. As he is about to drive off, Vivienne halts him and asks if she can catch a ride. Sami rejects her request and drives off.

Vivienne arrives at her ex, Nick's (Simon Baker), house unannounced. Nick invites her to dinner and she politely declines. Vivienne decides to leave Nick's house. She bids Nick and Lucie farewell. She continues wandering around aimlessly and has a conversation with an older lady (Venida Evans). Vivienne then calls Ben to arrange a meeting. As she travels to their meeting spot, she happens upon her old friend, Tessa (Renée Zellweger). They have a conversation about their lives before Tessa returns to her birthday party. Vivienne then attends a performance in which Jordan is playing the drums. After the performance, she is invited to sing on stage. Vivienne sings the song "Unfollow the Rules" by Rufus Wainwright. She later has sex with Jordan at his apartment. She gets into a Lyft and meets Sami again, who drives her to Nick's house. Nick is dismayed that Vivienne has once again showed up unannounced. Lucie comes out of her bedroom to see what the commotion is about. Nick excuses himself to allow Vivienne some time with Lucie. In her bedroom, Lucie plays her song to her mother and is met with adoration by Vivienne. Before Lucie falls asleep, Vivienne expresses her regrets about not being there for her. Vivienne kisses Lucie goodnight and goes into the living room to see Nick watching an old French movie. They converse before Nick realizes something is wrong with Vivienne. Nick reprimands her for prioritizing work over what is actually important. Before they conclude their conversation, Nick wants Vivienne to update him about her condition before they decide how to disclose her condition to Lucie. Nick then holds her hand and expresses that he really does care for her and that he is scared. Vivienne then pulls her hand away from Nick and returns to Lucie's bedroom. She sits down beside Lucie's bed and spends the night shaking and weeping.

The next morning, Vivienne sneaks out of Nick's house. She returns home to pack for her surgery and leaves the house. She takes a Lyft and is chauffeured by Sami once again. While driving, Sami turns around to check out Vivienne, but Vivienne avoids eye contact and takes a nap for the remainder of the Lyft ride. She is later awakened by Sami. Outside the hospital, due to Vivienne's request, both Vivienne and Sami get out of the car for coffee. She begins walking away from Sami. While on the hospital bed, Vivienne removes her jewelry.

Moments later Tony Croy arrives and asks the hat check girl if there's a note for him, but the girl says it was just picked up by another man who claimed to be Mr. Croy.

Davis leaves in a cab, and Croy jumps into a cab to follow him. In the cab, Davis reads the note he stole, which gives the location of some unnamed object located in a specific filing cabinet at the jewelry store. Davis goes to the jewelry store to find out what the note refers to, but he's shot by an unseen assailant.

Meanwhile, back at the nightclub, Sally devises a harebrained scheme to help clear Crenshaw of the robberies by stealing something from the jewelry store while Crenshaw is still in jail, which would prove he was not the culprit. Using the keys she takes from Mrs. Nacelle's purse, she goes to the jewelry store and steals several items from a display case.

The next morning at the crime scene, the police detectives are busy collecting evidence. Bill Reardon secretly finds the note that Davis brought to the store the night before, and Reardon realizes that it's connected to the case.

Bill and Sally Reardon eventually discover that Tony Croy and Mrs. Nacelle were married some years earlier, but never got divorced. Croy has been blackmailing Mrs. Nacelle with this info, forcing her to steal the jewelry from her husband's store. When Croy comes to Mrs. Nacelles mansion to collect the stolen jewels, Mrs. Nacelle tricks him by having him open a safe which is rigged to fire a gun attached to a device inside.

Back at the jewelry store, Bill shows the police detectives that Mr. Davis was actually killed by a trick gun which fired from inside the file drawer when it was opened — the same trick Mrs. Nacelle used inside her home wall safe. The rigged filling cabinet drawer was meant to kill Croy, the man who was supposed to get the note which gave directions to that particular file drawer.

Bill and Sally Reardon set a trap for Mrs. Nacelle, solve the case, and lead the police to the final showdown with the murderous wife.

Nora Fisher is an English teacher trying to earn her PhD in Literature when her boyfriend, Adam, breaks up with her. Nora must attend a wedding that weekend, but while she and her friends stay at a cabin she goes for a walk, carrying an old copy of ''Pride and Prejudice'' with her, and loses her way in the woods. She wanders into a graveyard and reads aloud a poem inscribed upon a tombstone. Upon leaving the graveyard, Nora discovers a garden and meets a woman named Ilissa, who invites Nora to her house and insists that Nora attend their party that night. Given a beautiful dress and a miraculous makeover, Nora meets a splendid company of people at the party that night, including Raclin, Ilissa's handsome son. Nora soon forgets about the wedding, and her teaching, and stays at Ilissa's house for an indefinite amount of time, attending parties nearly every night and going hunting with her new friends in the day. She also becomes engaged to Raclin.

One day Nora strays from their hunting party and a team of men seize her. They report her to two men: Lord Luklren, and a magician named Aruendiel. They let her go, but Aruendiel warns Nora not to trust Ilissa and her people, a warning that Nora ignores. She marries Raclin and soon becomes pregnant, but one night she has an argument with Raclin because she suspects him of carrying on with other women. Raclin suddenly reveals himself to be a dragon and attacks her, and she falls down a flight of stairs. Ilissa and her people carry her to a bed, fearing that she has had a miscarriage. Nora sends a plea for help to Aruendiel by means of his token, a feather, and a tremendous gust of wind spirits Nora away from Ilissa's house.

After flying for over an hour, Nora falls into a courtyard and the magician Aruendiel takes her into his castle and removes what is left of Raclin's child from her body, assuring her that the birth of such a child would have killed her. A woman named Mrs. Toristel takes care of Nora while the latter recovers. Aruendiel explains that Ilissa and her son and guests are Faitoren, magical creatures who cast illusions and specialize in manipulating people. The fancy clothes and beautiful appearances of their parties were illusions, and they had used Nora as a birth mother for Raclin's child, in an attempt to breed more of their species. Aruendiel also explains that they are currently speaking the Ors language, which Nora somehow picked up while under a variety of Ilissa's enchantments; she continues to understand Ors, even after Aruendiel removes Ilissa's spells. The castle lies in a place called the Uland, part of a larger territory called the Northlands. Neither Mrs. Toristel nor Aruendiel knows anything about the United States.

Stuck in this alternate land with no technology, Nora gardens and cooks to earn her keep at Aruendiel's castle. Nora finds she still has her wedding ring, which will not come off her finger. Another magician, Hirizjahkinis, invites Aruendiel to Semr, the king's realm, and Aruendiel reluctantly takes Nora with him to keep an eye on her. At Semr they debate about whether to declare war on the Faitoren or cut a deal with them. Aruendiel, who severely distrusts the Faitoren, staunchly opposes King Abele's desire to maintain a peaceful alliance with them. Nora inexplicably finds her copy of Pride and Prejudice in the royal library, and eventually she begins to translate it into Ors so that Aruendiel can sample the literature of her world. While in Semr, Nora has an unpleasant encounter with Ilissa, and then finds out that most people assume that Nora is Aruendiel's mistress.

Nora gradually finds out that Aruendiel once had a wife, but murdered her when she had an affair with another man. Aruendiel once also had an affair with Ilissa herself. Back in Uland, Nora expresses interest in learning magic, and Aruendiel challenges Nora by smashing a bowl and telling her to fix it with magic. When she finally manages to fix the bowl, Aruendiel begins to give, impatiently, a series of lessons in magic to Nora. He explains that whereas a wizard captures spirits and forces them to work for him, a magician depends upon his or her own connection with the elements in order to shape them as he or she desires. He refers to the elemental magic as “true magic” and distrusts the use of spirits and demons in wizardry.

One day Aruendiel receives word that the magician Hirizjahkinis and Hirgus Ext, a wizard, have paid a visit to Ilissa's house. Ilissa claims to have taken the two as prisoners and sends Aruendiel a list of demands, including that he return Nora to the Faitoren. Aruendiel refuses the demands and attacks Ilissa himself, but Hirizjahkinis and Hirgus Ext escape without his help. Ilissa tried to trick them into lifting the magical boundaries around the Faitoren realm, or else hoped to force Aruendiel to lift the boundaries. Aruendiel then leaves to visit Lord Luklren in order to make sure that the magician Dorneng Hul is properly maintaining those boundaries. While he is gone, Nora fixes a series of items in the village in order to raise money to buy a new pair of boots, an act which Aruendiel, upon returning, condemns as petty and pretentious. Aruendiel turns Nora out of the house but eventually relents and lets her stay. Dorneng Hul visits Aruendiel's castle to discuss the problem of the Faitoren, and he attempts to remove the wedding ring on Nora's finger, with disastrous results that are only resolved when they place the ring back on her finger. They soon celebrate the Null Days, a sort of nihilistic winter solstice holiday, and Nora cannot shake a strange romantic attraction to Aruendiel.

Ilissa tricks Dorneng Hul into releasing Ilissa from her magical barriers. Dorneng Hul, Hirizjahkinis, and Aruendiel set out to recapture Ilissa, leaving Nora and Mrs. Toristel behind. However, a few days after they leave, Hirizjahkinis returns to bring Nora with her, insisting that Aruendiel wants Nora's help. As soon as Nora leaves the safety of the castle, Hirizjahkinis turns out to be Ilissa in disguise, who kidnaps Nora and takes her to a barren, snowy landscape. There Ilissa and Raclin meet with Dorneng Hul, who has been working with Ilissa the entire time. They plan to kill Nora and enslave her spirit, forcing it to hold open a gateway between their world and Nora's world. Nora realizes that when she had read aloud the inscription on the tombstone, she had activated the power of an enslaved spirit in order to travel to this alternate, magical world; but the Faitoren cannot use that spirit, because an iron fence blocks the graveyard and the Faitoren cannot bear the touch of iron. Using a gateway powered by Nora's spirit, the Faitoren would be able to spread to Nora's world and breed as much as they pleased.

While Ilissa and Raclin travel back to their realm to prepare, Dorneng Hul loses patience and tries to sacrifice Nora himself. Nora surprises him with a fire spell and then accidentally breaks open a bottle in Dorneng Hul's fur cloak, releasing part of an ice demon that consumes Dorneng Hul's life spirit, though the magician's body remains intact. Nora takes the other bottles from Dorneng Hul's cloak that contain the rest of the ice demon's body and promises to give it back the rest of its body if it guides her to Maarikok, the place where some Faitoren hold Aruendiel prisoner. They journey to Maarikok, and a young man named Perin Pirekenies joins them. Once at Maarikok, Nora releases Aruendiel from a spell that is depriving him of all his magic. As soon as Aruendiel recovers (and kills the ice demon, which was about to eat Nora), they go into battle against the Faitoren and are victorious. However, Ilissa and Raclin escape, and Hirizjahkinis appears to die in battle, though her body is not found.

After having defeated the Faitoren, Aruendiel rediscovers the hole between worlds and finds that it still functions. Nora chooses to go home, and Aruendiel and an older wizard named Nansis Abora take her to the portal, and she rejoins her own world. Nora stays at her father's house but, finding that she cannot perform any magic in her own world, considers finding a new gateway back to Aruendiel's world.

When Mayumi deduces that he stole it, Shuji states that given how poor the family is, he had no choice, and tells her that when Michiko has recovered he will turn himself into the police.

A detective, Kagawa, arrives and forcibly enters the apartment as Shuji hides. Despite Mayumi's protests that he is scaring her daughter, Kagawa reveals that he was driving the taxi that Shuji took home in order to track him down. As Kagawa is about to find Shuji, Mayumi takes Shuji's gun and disarms Kagawa. Shuji refuses to escape, not wanting to leave Michiko, and Mayumi states that the four must stay in the apartment until Michiko has recovered, at which point the detective can take Shuji to the police.

During the night while keeping watch on Kagawa, Mayumi falls asleep. When she awakes she finds that Kagawa has taken the guns from her; however, he simply tells her to get some rest until the doctor can arrive in the morning.

In 1983, Donna Boone tells her friend Johnny Milsner to jump off the roof to complete the game of Truth or Dare, causing him to roll off to his death. Horrified, Donna returns inside the house to find writing on a mirror telling her to pour acid on her head. After first covering her head in a paste of baking soda and water, she does so, completing the dare.

In the present day, a group of eight friends – Carter Boyle, Maddie Sotarez, Tyler Pemhart, Alex Colshis, Jessie Havnell, Addison Troy, Holt Thorne, and Luke Wyler – go to a house Carter has rented for a Halloween outing. Carter, a film student who documents much of their experience on camera, tells the group that the house became haunted after seven teens played truth or dare in 1983 and all but one died horribly, and the survivor was never seen again. Carter persuades everyone to play Truth or Dare in the same house. Things quickly turn sour when Maddie is asked if she had sex with Tyler, Alex's boyfriend. Although she tries to lie, a mysterious group text forces her to tell the truth. Tyler's dare is to put his hands on a hot stove and is told to 'do the dare or the dare does you', and although he attempts to quit, a chair moves by itself and trips him onto the stove, severely burning his hand.

The group angrily accuses Carter of fabricating everything, which he vehemently denies. An old-fashioned television displays a warning that the group has 48 hours to complete three rounds of the game. They try to leave, but the doors and windows close, trapping everyone in. Jessie, a vegan, is dared to eat Tyler's burnt skin from the stove, and after eating one piece, the phone rings with the message for her to eat all of it. Holt is dared to grab onto exposed wiring. To keep him from getting electrocuted, Carter rushes at him with a blanket to push him from the wires. Luke is dared to smash his knee, which Carter does for him. Addison is asked if she's an addict. She insists that she isn't, and then tries to leave the house. A mysterious force shoves her off of the porch and onto an exposed pipe, killing her.

At the hospital, the group tries telling the police what happened, but are met with skepticism. The next day, the ghost of Addison appears in Carter's dorm room and dares him to hang himself for two minutes, with a noose falling out of the ceiling. Carter tries to leave, but the ghost and noose capture him and hang him once his time runs out. After being sent a livestream of the dare, Alex, Maddie, Tyler, and Holt race to Carter's room, but are unable to open the door in time. The four friends see a message that Round Two is beginning. Meanwhile, Alex's research into the haunted history of the house leads her to Donna Boone, the lone survivor of Truth or Dare in 1983. Donna tells them that the 'demon' running the game feeds on fear and pain, and that they will have to finish the game inside the house in order to survive. She also suggests sharing their dares to outsmart the demon.

In his bedroom, Luke receives a dare to rob a gas station, and a gun appears on his bed. He pulls up at the gas station with Jessie on the passenger seat and attempts the robbery, but the cashier ends up killing Luke with a shotgun. Shocked, Jessie calls Alex to tell her that Luke was shot during the robbery, and Alex tells her to meet back at the house. Once Jessie returns, the group heads inside, and Tyler receives a dare to drink a liquid poison. He shares the dare with everyone and they all first drink soda, then drink the poison and vomit it up. Maddie receives a dare to pull two teeth out. Tyler, a medical student, extracts one tooth from her, and one from himself. Alex receives a dare to play three rounds of Russian roulette, with Alex surviving the first two and Tyler fatally shooting himself in the head on the third round.

Holt receives a dare to be run over by a car, and confesses to the others that he once paralyzed someone in a hit-and-run accident, but escaped without consequence. Jessie tries to run over Holt's foot, but the car won't start, and when Holt opens the hood to fix the starter, the hood slams on his hand and time runs out. The car, driving itself, pulls him in reverse until he falls, then runs him over, crushing him to death. Heading back into the house, Alex realizes that the spirit is punishing them for their obsessions and sins.

Jessie is dared to chain herself to a pipe in the cellar, but runs out of time and is devoured by a huge swarm of cockroaches. As Round Three begins, Maddie receives a phone call instructing her and Alex to remove seven living body parts. Between them, they remove an eyelash, hair, a fingernail, an earlobe, a finger, and a toe. As their last part, Alex chops off Maddie's foot with a cleaver. After completing the dare, they rush to the hospital, but a message appears on the car's GPS with Alex's final dare – "kill her". Maddie begs Alex to kill her, but Alex refuses, and intentionally crashes the car into a tree. An unknown survivor gasps for air after the screen cuts to black.

Twenty years later, a producer decides to rent the space to produce an extreme reality show where eight eccentric people who are at a crossroads in their ordinary lives are chosen to play a game and find a way out.

Kyle Keeley (Casey Simpson) is an imaginative young boy who loves to solve puzzles created by famous game designer Mr. Luigi Lemoncello (Russell Roberts). One day, Lemoncello unveils his newest creation: a high tech library in which he selects twelve young children to solve puzzles and riddles and whoever gets out first will be the new spokesperson for all things Lemoncello.

The twelve are selected: Kyle, his adventurous best friend Akimi (Breanna Yde), bookworm Sierra (Klarke Pipkin), nerd Andrew Peckleman (A.J. Louis Rivera Jr.), bully Charles Chiltington (Ty Nicolas Consiglio), popular girl Haley Daley (Hayley Scherpenisse), Rose Vermette (Hannah Cheramy), Sean Keegan (Dylan Kingwell), Bridgette Wadge (Lily Killam), helpful Miguel Fernandez (Anantjot S. Aneja), over-eager Kayla Carson (Ombu Ance), and Yasmeen Smith-Snyder (Jenna Skodje).

Upon entering the library, Lemoncello and his assistant Dr. Zinchenko (Katey Hoffman) explain how difficult it is going to be and that they can use the devices they are given to opt out which opens a trap door that takes them out of the library. This causes Bridgette and Sean to forfeit and go home. Afterwards, the rules are explained and they are all given a library card which Kayla takes and hits causing her to be eliminated since she did not listen to the rules. After that, the challenge begins.

Upon solving the first clue, Chiltington reveals his sly and bullying self when he lies to Yasmeen causing her to be eliminated. Afterwards, they are given four rooms designed based on book genres: horror, fantasy, classic, and children. A holographic librarian named Ms. Tobin (Patti Allan) appears and explains the rules of entering the room including you can only enter each room once.

Miguel eagerly offers to enter the horror room to get the clue, but he soon becomes terrified by Count Dracula (Alexander Mandra) and Frankenstein's monster (John DeSantis) and opts out before he can reach ''The Tell-Tale Heart''. Chiltington also gets Rose to opt out due to her own fear. Getting fed up with one another, the six remaining children divide into two teams: on one is Chiltington, Haley, and Andrew and on the other one is Kyle, Akimi, and Sierra. While Kyle's team enters the classic room where they had to ride flying books to solve a clue, Chiltington's team enters the children's section where Chiltington works to put Humpty Dumpty together while Peckleman meets Charlotte (Kari Wahlgren) from ''Charlotte's Web'' and Mother Goose. Both respective teams manage to receive their clues although Chiltington lies to everyone he forgot the clue in the children's section. This causes Haley to attempt to get it back, but is disqualified by Ms. Tobin for trying to go back inside: a rule which she did not listen to due to her doing selfies which Ms. Tobin is familiar with. She is sent down the trap door and is deposited outside as the crowd laughs at her. Lemoncello talks to Dr. Z about Chiltington's trickeries as Dr. Z leaves to go deal with a glitch involving Wilbur the Pig.

As Dr. Z makes her way to the scene of the glitch and runs into them, Chiltington and Peckleman state that they aren't cheating as Chiltington secretly takes a golden key which has power over the whole library. Kyle's team enters the fantasy section while Chiltington decides to cheat and gets Andrew to follow him into the section as well deciding to cheat and use them to get the clue which Andrew is uneasy about. The troll (Dana Snyder) from ''Three Billy Goats Gruff'' has them make out as many words from Lemoncello where the failure will have them be attacked by the giant from ''Jack and the Beanstalk''. Kyle's team solves another riddle and receives a clue. While using the key to collapse the beanstalk and cause the Wicked Witch of the East (Breanna Watkins) to manifest, Chiltington however accidentally destroys the system releasing all the creatures including Count Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the troll, and a werewolf (Brin Alexander) into the library and wrecks havoc.

Lemoncello decides to go into the library and help the children. While Mother Goose is shown to have gone over to one of the library sections and brushed up on ninjitsu as mentioned by Charlotte, the kids were able to use the characters' weaknesses like water on the Wicked Witch of the East. Chiltington, regretting what he has done after he and Peckleman were attacked by Hansel and Gretel (Simon Pidgeon and Devyn Dalton) for eating their bread crumbs, also elects to help the team. The group escapes into the vents as they see the giant approaching the exit to the fantasy section.

Using dynamite, Lemoncello was able to put some distances between them and the pursuing Count Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, werewolf, and Hansel and Gretel. Making it to the exit, Ms. Tobin tells them how to activate it after she had fought off the troll. They all manage to restore order until a giant pterodactyl appears. The dinosaur was an idea created by Kyle and was released in the idea room when the children had previously entered. Instead of running in terror, Kyle faces his fear and fight off the dinosaur with red balloons he found after Lemoncello tells him not to blame himself for his idea, but embrace it as his own and defeat it using his bravery.

Lemoncello, Dr. Z, and the five remaining children exit the game and Lemoncello, impressed by their bravery and creative solutions, declare them all winners and thus spokespeople for his company. Dr. Z states to Lemoncello that she will need a vacation after this as well as getting the book characters back into their respective sections. Peckleman offers Chiltington his friendship and a ride home after having been previously told that Chiltington's parents could not be here due to work. Lemoncello offers Kyle a job as a summer librarian which he happily agrees to and then, Lemoncello presents Kyle his golden key to hold on to for safe keeping.

The center of attention — Hollywood actor, director, screenwriter, producer, first-class playboy and even a candidate for U.S. President Warren Beatty.

The film begins in Ottawa, where Jenni Adams, daughter of U.S. Ambassador Patrick Adams, and the grand-daughter of Senator George Secord, goes missing during her Secret Service detail.

While two nations fight over jurisdiction, the case grows cold. Seasoned veteran detective Alfonso Palermo puts everything else aside—his emotions, his alcoholism, his tact—to step up and search for the little girl and return her to her family.

As the mystery unravels we learn that Alfonso has felt similar pain and loss. He lost his wife and daughter in a car accident as well, and his diligence stems from the fact that he doesn't want anyone to feel that kind of pain ever again.

Alfonso establishes himself and his partner Robert Santos as lead investigators on the case on behalf of the Canadian government, and they proceed to interview Jenni's parents (the US Ambassador and his wife) and his P.A. Marie MacDonald. The President calls the director to put pressure on the investigation.

They all visit the crime scene looking for clues, and Al's "old school" ways seem to irritate his American counterparts. He visits a nearby bar in search of clues and quizzes Maggie the waitress. He thinks one of the protagonists was there and declares it a crime scene. Much to the annoyance of the Americans, he finds a clue on the floor which supports his theory.

On instructions from the Director, Alfonso goes to L.A. to interview a Mrs. Stewart, who is having an affair with the Ambassador. He visits the Ambassador's parents who aren't happy that the Canadians are running the investigation, she rings the President to complain. His mother thinks he is a saint, but his father's opinion is a little less flattering. He's invited to visit the Senator who tricks him into revealing he has a drink problem.

Al flies back to Canada, where he and Robert visit a disco and arrest Daniel Barton, whom they suspect of being involved with the abduction. He is subsequently released with conditions.

Al goes to see Mrs. Adams in the Big Red Steakhouse at her request, but it is not entirely clear why she wants to see him. As the investigation continues it appears that the Ambassador is not as popular with his family and people who know him as he purports to be, and that his marriage is on the verge of collapse.

Al and Robert visit Bernard Florence, who used to drive for the Ambassador, and may have an insight into the investigation. Meanwhile, the FBI engage the services of a psychic without much success.

Al goes home where he sees a vision of his wife and whilst looking at a picture of his daughter.

They go to see Sheriff Williams at the NYPD in Niagara Falls after a lead suggests charges against the Ambassador were mysteriously dropped due to a phone call from the top.

Forensics reveal that bubble wrap from an alley at the crime scene and the local bar across the road are an exact match.

Al goes to his local bar the Blind Swine, where he reminisces about losing his family and turns to the bottle, his friends rally around him and stop him before he goes too far. His Dad, the Director, and the Senator get involved due to concerns about his behaviour, and he is referred to Dr. Amanda Walker for therapy. Bernard Florence calls Al and recalls an incident back when he was the Ambassador's driver, and a comment was made by the Ambassador after his P.A. Marie MacDonald gave him oral sex in the back of his car, the comment was about their future and his daughter "being in the way".

They visit the P.A.'s house and question her, and she reveals that she has kidnapped the Ambassador's daughter and is hiding her in a warehouse. He tells Robert to arrest her and take her back to the jail, and then after letting the Senator and everybody know he heads over there to look for her.

His Dad meets him at the warehouse and they break in and start searching for the missing girl. After seeing a vision of his dead wife Mira Al finds her drugged in a barrel and takes her outside in his arms to a waiting cheering crowd. When Al is walking away he sees another vision of his wife.

At Christmas time, 17-year-old Ashley is babysitting precocious 12-year-old Luke Lerner. Luke has romantic feelings for Ashley and unsuccessfully attempts to seduce her while watching a horror film. Strange happenings outside put Ashley on edge, but it ultimately appears to be just Luke's best friend, Garrett, who has arrived to visit. Hearing a window break upstairs, the trio find a brick inscribed with "U leave and U die." Garrett panics and runs out the back door, but is apparently killed by an unknown shooter.

Shocked, Ashley and Luke run upstairs and hide in the attic. Ashley almost breaks her neck from a fall but Luke catches her. After they run into Luke's room and hide in his closet, a masked intruder armed with a shotgun walks in. Ashley recognizes the mask as one of Luke's and yanks it off the intruder, revealing Garrett. Ashley realizes that Luke was hoping to seduce her by scaring her and staging a rescue. Angered, Ashley yells at Luke, calling him mental and saying he needs therapy and tries to leave. Luke follows behind Ashley and once at the top of the stairs Luke slaps her, causing her to fall down the stairs and be knocked unconscious.

Luke binds Ashley with duct tape, forcing her to play truth or dare. Her boyfriend Ricky arrives at the house after receiving a text message sent by Ashley earlier. When Ricky fails to find Ashley, he realizes that something is wrong. Luke tries to knock him out but fails. After nearly killing Luke, Ricky is threatened by Garrett with the shotgun. Luke knocks Ricky out and they tie him up beside Ashley.

While Ashley uses a shard of glass to cut herself free, Luke tries to show Garrett what happens if you actually hit someone in the head with a swinging paint can, based on a scene from the film ''Home Alone''. Luke tries to demonstrate with Ricky but misses on the first swing. Ashley gets free and threatens Luke with a gun. He releases the paint can, which hits and kills Ricky. When Ashley realizes the gun is empty, she tries to escape to a group of carolers outside. Luke uses the brick tossed through the upstairs window to knock her out again before she can alert them.

Luke calls Ashley's ex-boyfriend, Jeremy, claiming that she wants him to write an apology letter. While Jeremy does so, Luke hangs him from a tree, making the apology look like a suicide note. Garrett has a change of heart and starts to free Ashley, but is killed by Luke. Luke stabs Ashley in the neck and stages the scene to frame Jeremy. Later, he goes to bed and waits for the return of his parents, who contact the police. Ashley survives, having placed duct tape over the stab wound to stop the bleeding. Luke watches from his bedroom window as Ashley gives him the finger before being wheeled into the ambulance. Luke tells his mother that he is "worried" about Ashley and wants to visit her at the hospital.

In the kingdom of Springfieldia, the Serfsons visit Jacqueline Bouvier at The Webs at Giant Spider Acres, a retirement forest, where Marge discovers, to her shock, that Jacqueline is freezing over.

At Barber Hibbert's Surgery, Jacqueline is found with progressive frozen mortification after having been bitten by an ice walker, which converts the victim's flesh to ice in the span of a week. To save her, he proposes a treatment, buying an Amulet of Warmfyre. However the cost for it is too high, and Marge sends Homer to grab the necessary money. Azzlan appears trying to get the Serfsons to convert to Christianity only to be driven away by Marge.

At the Springfieldia Human Power Plant, Homer attempts, unsuccessfully, to ask Lord Montgomery for the money. Seeing her father's plight, Lisa solves the problem by magically converting lead into gold. However, Lisa cannot perform magic in public as then she would be taken by King Quimby and be forced to become one of his evil wizards.

At home, Marge gives the amulet to Jacqueline, who refuses at first, recognizing the futility of life, though she decides to wear it. At that moment, King Quimby's wizards appear and take Lisa away, charging her with witchcraft. To rescue her, Homer rallies the town's peasants into revolt. Upon scaling the castle, the peasants defeat King Quimby's wizards only to face a dragon. Jacqueline decides to remove the amulet, turning her into an ice-compository human and sacrifice herself to defeat the dragon in which she succeeds. However, it is revealed that the dragon was the source of all magic in the kingdom including all magical creatures. Lisa suggests that the kingdom can now base their lives on science, to everyone's dismay. Homer decides to light coals in an attempt to revive the dragon. This succeeds only for the dragon to burn the village down.

The story is framed around the journals of Carter Hall, who reveals a mystery that spans centuries revolving around divine metals that have landed on Earth. He gradually reveals a conflict that has existed since the beginning of time between four tribes: the wolf, the bear, the bird and the bat.''Dark Nights: Metal'' #1 (2017)

After the Justice League defeats Mongul on his war moon, they return home to find Challengers Mountain, the headquarters of the superhero team Challengers of the Unknown, has mysteriously appeared in the middle of Gotham City. When they get into the mountain they are met by Kendra Saunders, otherwise known as Hawkgirl, who warns them of a full-scale invasion. She explains the concept of a Dark Multiverse, a multiverse that exists beneath the DC Multiverse, that contains a dark beast named Barbatos. Through her investigations, she has discovered a connection between Barbatos and the Wayne family. Batman is revealed to be part of a prophecy in which he will be treated by five divine metals that will open a door to the Dark Multiverse and allow Barbatos to invade the Multiverse. It is further revealed that Barbatos first marked Batman when he was sent back in time by Darkseid's Omega Beams during the events of the ''Final Crisis'' storyline. Despite this, Batman steals Kendra's sample of Nth metal, one of the divine metals. In bringing it to the Batcave to study it, the metal leads Batman to the journal of Carter Hall, discovered to have been in Wayne Manor the whole time. The journal confirms Batman's suspicions regarding his role in the prophecy. He is then visited by Daniel Hall (Dream) who warns him that the "nightmare has only just begun."

The whole Justice League searches for Batman and, when Superman finds him, he interrogates him. During this exchange, Batman reveals that he has already been exposed to the foretold divine metals in a process called mantling. It started when he faced the Court of Owls and was exposed to electrum. He was exposed to dionesium during the events of the ''Endgame'' story arc, when he fought to the death with the Joker. The machine that was subsequently used to resurrect him exposed him to promethium. Finally, when he used the machine that allowed him to peer into the Dark Multiverse (during the events of the lead-up), he exposed himself to the Nth metal. In an attempt to escape the last metal, Batman steals Darkseid, who has been reduced to a baby. He aims to use Darkseid's Omega Beams to go back in time again and prevent Barbatos from meeting him. Unfortunately, he is tricked by the Court of Owls and subsequently exposed to the last divine metal: batmanium. This causes him to exchange places with Barbatos and seven dark versions of himself from the Dark Multiverse.

Superman flies to the Fortress of Solitude where he encounters the dark versions of Batman for the first time as they introduce themselves as the Dark Knights. They all come from the Dark Multiverse—temporary negative realities created by the fears of people from their respective counterpart positive universes—and were recruited by Barbatos with the promise of preventing the end of their worlds. The Batman Who Laughs from Earth-22, who lost his sanity due to his world's Joker, gathered the six other Dark Multiverse Batmen after they each alter themselves to gain superhuman abilities. The Dark Knights' membership includes the speedster fusion of Flash and Batman called The Red Death, a female amphibious Batman (Bryce Wayne) called The Drowned, a corrupted, teenaged Green Lantern Batman named The Dawnbreaker, a cyborg Batman named The Murder Machine, a Batman known as The Merciless who wears the helmet of Ares and the Doomsday-infected Batman called The Devastator. Superman is overwhelmed as he is spirited away from danger by the Flash and Doctor Fate.

Superman meets the people who are left of the resistance, including those who are connected to the Nth metal such as Doctor Fate, Steel, and Plastic Man's egg. Nightwing explains how major cities around the world have fallen to the dark versions of Batman: The Red Death attacked Central City, The Drowned attacked Amnesty Bay, The Dawnbreaker attacked Coast City, the Murder Machine attacked Detroit, the Merciless attacked Langley, the Devastator attacked Metropolis and the Batman Who Laughs takes Gotham City. Suddenly, Mister Terrific interprets vibrations coming from Plastic Man's egg which indicate the coordinates of four locations that need to be investigated. Wonder Woman, Doctor Fate and Kendra Saunders go to investigate the Rock of Eternity. Green Lantern and Mister Terrific head to the remains of Thanagar. Aquaman and Deathstroke go to Atlantis. Finally, Superman has Steel and the Flash create a path into the Dark Multiverse for him through the Phantom Zone. Once he arrives, Superman realizes that it was a trap set by the Dark Knights so that they can harness the energy from his cells to power their doomsday device which would unleash their reality into the Multiverse.''Dark Nights: Metal'' #3

While searching for the Nth Metal at the Rock of Eternity, Wonder Woman, Doctor Fate and Kendra Saunders face the personification of the Seven Sins. Kendra, entrusted with the mission given by the Council of Immortals, tries to fire the Anti-Monitor's astral brain into the center of the Multiverse as an attempt to stop the Dark Multiverse but is interrupted by Barbatos, who transforms her into a dark-hawk version of herself named Lady Blackhawk. Meanwhile, Dr. Fate is confronted by Black Adam, who alongside Vandal Savage, have brokered a deal with Barbatos. At the outskirts of Atlantis, Aquaman and Deathstroke enter the sacred/forbidden burial ground of Atlantis' first king, Arion. Meanwhile, Hal Jordan and Mr. Terrific reach Thanagar Prime where they find long-time Thangarian enemy Onimar Synn has conquered the planet with the help of JLA villain Starro. They have known of the Dark Multiverse's existence for eons and have prepared to “raze the Earth” with a doomsday device called The Phoenix Cannon. Starro neutralizes Lantern and Terrific and the two are incarcerated.

Meanwhile, in the Dark Multiverse, Superman wakes Bruce from an unending nightmare. Overwhelmed by dark Supermen, the World's Finest are saved by Daniel Hall. Taken to Lucien's library in the Dreaming, Daniel proceeds to explain the history of the Multiverse, revealing that alongside the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor, there is a third being: a "Forger" tasked to watch over what had yet to come. Within the Dark Multiverse is a "World Forge" which hammered out universes from the hopes and fears of all living beings (the most stable forming the Orrery of Worlds). Barbatos himself is a great dragon that the Forger kept to destroy unstable worlds. Knowing only destruction, Barbatos killed his creator and the Forge began to darken (as twisted worlds survived). Convinced that there is still hope, Superman and Batman head for the Forge of Worlds, however, they find the Forge has gone dark and are confronted by the Dragon of Barbatos—a corrupted Carter Hall. Superman and Batman evade Carter Hall's attack as they struggle to search for a spark in the darkened core of the Forge.

Exiting a portal in Arion's grave, Arthur and Deathstroke find themselves in the Earth's core. Remembering a legend of how Arion saved Atlantis by using magic from the Earth's core, they begin extracting Nth Metal only to come under attack from Black Manta, who is allied with the Dark Knights.

On Thanagar Prime, Hal and Mr. Terrific are rescued from their cells by Martian Manhunter (who has been exploring Thanagar Prime to learn about the secret Nth Metal deposits) and the trio proceed to rescue Plastic Man from Synn and Starro. They soon learn several Dark Knights have seized control of the Phoenix Cannon, reversing its polarity to make Earth sink further into the Dark Multiverse.

In the Rock of Eternity, Kendra regains control of her body after Wonder Woman uses her golden lasso on her, restoring Kendra's memories, although she is still in her dark-hawk form. Kendra decides to operate under her original alias, Hawkgirl, and arms herself with Carter's mace. However, even after defeating Black Adam, both are beaten by the Batman Who Laughs, who explains that all the heroes have done is help accelerate Barbatos' plans and that Earth is now low enough for Barbatos' army to claim the world. Refusing to give up, Diana and Kendra proceed to use the Rock of Eternity's core to reach Barbatos and are confronted by his Dark Army.

Clashing their metals together (Diana's bracelets and Kendra's mace), the two heroines succeed in helping Green Lantern, Mr. Terrific, Aquaman and Deathstroke fight back against the Dark Knights. Mr. Terrific convinces Plastic Man to awaken, turning the tide of battle. Reaching the Dark Forge, Kendra manages to break Carter out of Barbatos' corruption (reigniting the Forge in the process), Diana reaches Batman and Superman (donned in Tenth Metal, the prime constitute of the World Forge), and Barbatos is confronted by Flash and Cyborg, who have gathered reinforcements from other realities (including the '53rd Earth').

Refusing to lose, Barbatos reveals his last resort; using the combined power of the positive energy of his prisoner the Over-Monitor, the Anti-Monitor's brain's negative energy, and the Batman Who Laughs' dark energy, he plans to destroy all of creation and leave nothing but darkness in his wake. An unexpected team-up of Batman and the Joker, however, halts this plan, the Justice League defeats the remaining Dark Knights, and Hawkgirl subdues Barbatos. After the Over-Monitor explains that all living things have trace amounts of Tenth Metal, the League proceed to use this power to pull Earth out of the Dark Multiverse (which unintentionally also results in the Source Wall shattering). After the battle the Over-Monitor chains Barbatos down at the bottom of the Dark Multiverse with Tenth Metal chains, forcing him to watch the World Forge burn bright once more as it creates new worlds.''Dark Nights: Metal'' #6

Having survived the war and everything the Third Reich wanted to throw at them, David Bermann and his friends have only one plan in mind: to get to the States as soon as possible. But for that, they need money. Just when this design seems almost within his grasp, David gets fleeced of all his savings —and, all the dodgy shenanigans in his past finally catch up with him!

The action of the play takes place over a single day at Aston-Adey, Arnold Champion-Cheney's country house in Dorset.

At the beginning of the play, the prim Arnold is dreading the first visit of his mother, Lady Catherine Champion-Cheney, and her partner, Lord Porteus. She had caused scandal by eloping with Porteus thirty years earlier, leaving her husband and only child. Arnold's wife, Elizabeth, is looking forward to meeting Catherine, whom she sees as a romantic figure for sacrificing her social position in England for love. In reality the older couple are not romantic figures: Catherine hates being rejected by polite society, dresses and makes up too young for her years, "a ridiculous caricature of a pretty woman grown old", and regards her partner as "simply a testy, crotchety old gentleman who makes himself a nuisance at the bridge table". Nonetheless, they remain bound together by reluctant affection. Their visit is complicated by the unexpected arrival of Arnold's father, the deserted Clive Champion-Cheney, but he is quite friendly to the couple.

Elizabeth is tempted to repeat history by eloping with Edward Luton, a friend of her husband, aware that in doing so she would be sacrificing a comfortable life in England for the probable hardships of life as a planter's wife in Malaya. Arnold, to whom she confesses her emotions, gives her his blessing to leave him if she wishes. This calculated ploy, suggested to him by his father, makes her feel so guilty that she almost resolves to end her relationship with Edward, but the latter tells her candidly that he offers her love and not necessarily happiness. This decides her in his favour, and Porteus and Lady Catherine lend them their car to elope in. Clive, unaware that his ploy has failed, joins Porteus and Catherine, boasts of his clever plan, and the play ends with "all three in fits of laughter".

The series takes place in the aftermath of Black Monday, the stock market crash of 1987. The story concerns a group of elite financiers who have made a blood pact with a god, in exchange for power and wealth. A second narrative strand follows NYPD detective Theodore Dumas, as he unravels the secrets of magic at the heart of the global financial market.

According to Hickman, "This is a book about schools of magic. The only difference being that instead of schools of magic, it's financial institutions. Power is accumulated through wealth. It's about a bunch of guys, a bunch of schools, that gathered together and generated a financial collapse in order to attain power".

Day of the Departed was a Halloween TV special that takes place after the events of Season 6 and prior to Season 7. The Day of the Departed is a sacred holiday that is celebrated by the people of Ninjago to commemorate their fallen ancestors and friends. On this day, the ninja split up to remember their ancestors and spend time with family members. During a visit to Ninjago History Museum, Cole (who is still a ghost) realizes that he is starting to fade away and, after discovering the Yin Blade, decides to visit the floating Temple of Airjitzu to confront the ghost of Master Yang.

At the temple, Cole accidentally uses the Yin Blade to open a portal to the Departed Realm, thereby releasing the spirits of the ninjas' old enemies, which include Samukai, Kozu, Cryptor, Chen and Morro, who are also joined by Pythor. The spirits possess their mannequins in Ninjago History Museum, which brings them to life. Cole is detained at the temple by Yang's ghost students. Yang then tells the villains that they can stay in Ninjago if they defeat each of the ninja that defeated them. Yang seizes the Yin Blade from Cole and explains that he intends to use the blade to tear open the Rift of Return, so that he can be revived. The ninja are under attack from their old revived enemies, but successfully defeat them one by one. In the meantime, Cole is forced to fight Yang's students as he follows Yang up to the temple roof. Yang uses Airjitzu in an attempt to reach the Rift, but Cole stops him and they fight.

When the ninja are reunited, they realize that they had almost forgotten about Cole. They return to the Temple of Airjitzu as Cole is battling Yang. Cole's spirit is bolstered at the sight of his friends and he shatters the Yin Blade. This frees Yang's students, who are able to cross through the Rift and become human again. Yang tells Cole that he wanted to be remembered, but Cole replies that he will be remembered as the creator of Airjitzu. They agree to cross through the Rift together, but during the ascent, Yang decides to stay at the temple to settle his debts and launches Cole into the Rift. The ninja soon discover that Cole has returned, now in human form once more. They celebrate the return of their friend and decide to use the Temple of Airjitzu as their new base.

Mr JLB Matekoni and Mma Ramotswe notice that Grace Makutsi is pregnant, and has not mentioned it to her employer. Mma Ramotswe decides she will wait for Grace to speak up. Rather close to the delivery date, she does.

Mma Sheba Kutso arrives with a case for the agency. Edgar Molapo, a farmer, died a few months earlier. He left most of his estate, including his farm and cattle, to his nephew, the son of his late brother. Mma Sheba is not convinced that the young man who presents himself is this nephew. She asks them to resolve his identity so that his will can be carried out properly.

Grace Makutsi leaves the office early to rest, but finds a cobra under the bed. After the snake is killed, Grace goes into labor about 3 weeks early. Grace delivers a boy, to be called Itumelang Clovis Radiphuti. Phuti's aunt appears, but Phuti stands up for their choice for modern ways of caring for the infant, and she soon leaves. In the town to get a gift for the new baby, Mma Ramotswe sees the new location of the Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon, and speaks with the proprietor, Mma Soleti. The latter has received a bird feather in the mail, meaning someone wishes her ill. She is worried.

Mma Ramotswe meets the sister of the late Edgar Molapo at the farm. Mma Sheba said this sister had an early, failed marriage and has no children. The boy Liso takes Mma Ramotswe around the farm and talks with her. Once he refers to his aunt as his mother, and he speaks Setswana like a native, though the lawyer said the boy was born in Swaziland. Mma Ramotswe visits her friend Gwithie, who has also heard Liso say "my mother" when referring to his aunt, opening a new idea.

A visit to read the will on file reveals that the lawyer herself will inherit, if the boy is not the chosen nephew. Mma Ramotswe then visits Mma Silvia Potokwani at the orphan farm, where she learns that a housemother used to work at the Molapo farm. She tells a story that reveals a dark family secret. The brother and his son were both killed in the same accident in Swaziland, so Edgar never met that nephew. Instead, he was presented with Liso, who is the son of his sister. The dark family secret is that the boy is the result of Edgar sleeping one night with his sister, the reason for her pregnancy. Edgar never knew of this result of his mistaken action. Mma Ramotswe promises not to reveal any of these details, as does Mma Potokwani. Mma Ramotswe considers that the boy Liso is the person who came every summer to work on the farm, and is the person Edgar wanted to be his heir. She tells this to the lawyer without revealing the dark family story.

At the beauty salon, a smear campaign drives all customers away. The first idea is that Mma Manchwe, owner of the copy shop and prior wife of the husband of Mma Soleti, started it. Mma Manchwe flatly denies this. Mma Ramotswe learns from the real estate agent that Violet Sephoto has a lease ending soon, and might seek a nicer space by driving Mma Soleti out.

The short story begins with a description of the gravel paved road to the churchyard, as well as of the half-paved highway running parallel to it. During the introduction sequence, various persons travelling it are described, such as soldiers marching, apprentices heading into town, or merchants travelling by cart.

The story then moves onto a physical description of the main character, Lobgott Piepsam. His wardrobe is described as a bit short for him, with sings of aging present of it, but overall, quite inconspicuous. His face is, on the contrary, memorable because of his nose. It is large, covered in marks and, in contrast to his pale face, red. The reason for his going to the church is given as well, he is heading to visit the graves of his wife and children. His children died young, as infants, and his wife died six months prior. His entire demeanor is that of grief, much more than that of a grieving husband and father. He is an alcoholic, without the support of a family.

Next, a young boy tries to pass him, only to be stopped when Lobgott threatens with a formal complaint to the city government, because he is driving a bike on the church road where that isn't permitted. The boy simply shrugs him off, and tries to drive off. Lobgott runs after him, grabs the rear side of the bike and cause that bike to overturn. The boy responds by punching him in the chest, and further threatening him, should he again stop him.

When the boy drives off, Lobgott proceeds to yell, cuss and scream uncontrollably at this perceived offense. A crowd gathers around him, of which he remains unaware, and in the end loses consciousness, with the ambulance driving him away.

As the Griffin family is watching ''Vedder Call Saul'', Peter is displeased that ''Family Guy'' hasn't won a single Emmy since it debuted in 1999, and the crossover with ''The Simpsons'' didn't help. Lois even mentions that they shouldn't do another episode with ''The Simpsons'' because it only helped the other show (or made ''Family Guy'' look bad when fans condemned ''The Simpsons'' for agreeing to the crossover at all). He then embarks on his own For Your Consideration campaign by spoofing other shows who won the award.

Peter first aims at winning an Emmy for Best Comedy, which includes ''Modern Family'', ''Girls'', and ''Transparent'' and other comedy traits (with two being Sofía Vergara taking Lois' role, Lois portraying a delivery person, Chris acting like Sheldon Cooper from ''The Big Bang Theory'', a pass-by from Tracy Morgan, and Peter playing transgender). He even encounters Louis C.K. outside the Drunken Clam, where the comedian says he's glad his career has cooled off just enough that Peter was able to get him to make a cameo on the show. When Peter goes into the bar, everyone greets him in the style of Norm Peterson from ''Cheers''. After that, Peter is sent to the hospital, where Dr. Hartman comes in to change his sex. Peter insists that it was just a gag, and Hartman continues on anyway. His final narration on that has him stating "And that's how I became your mother."

The comedy submission fails, as the Emmy producers hate it and say that ''Family Guy'' now owes ''them'' an Emmy. Brian insists on moving to Best Drama in which spoofs of ''Breaking Bad'', ''The Wire'', ''Homeland'', ''The Sopranos'', ''Orange Is the New Black'', ''House of Cards'', and ''Game of Thrones'' follow. The sketch ends with the Night King about to attack Peter with an undead dragon. It is watched by two people and a dragon, who feels that he and his fellow dragons were accurately represented.

The drama submission also fails, because a message from the Emmy board demands that Peter stop, but he refuses and continues trying to make more Emmy spoofs including stunts, documentaries, reality shows and castings in a comedy series - enough for him to do some interaction with a live-action Asa Akira. After doing a spoof of ''The Daily Show'', he is called aside by Bill Maher, who states that ''Family Guy'' will never win an Emmy, due to the fact that the same shows other than it win the award every year. Taking Maher's tip-off, Peter goes to the library, where he sees a lot of names and shows that won Emmys.

Peter returns home to tell Lois about it where she reveals that they have a selection of Emmy winners visiting them: Alec Baldwin, Julie Bowen, C.K., Tina Fey, Kelsey Grammer, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Shonda Rhimes, and Aaron Sorkin. They pick at the show's faults such as excessively plagiarizing other media, that many minority characters are voiced by white actors, the contrived episode wrap-ups and that the show is just a complete waste of time.

Realizing that ''Family Guy'' will never win an Emmy, Peter finally gives up and is happy to have his family as his award. An email that Peter reads from a chemotherapy patient mistakes the show for ''The Simpsons'' when the fact that the fan mentioned how he liked the episode where Homer stays home from church. Peter ends the episode with a live-action sequence of Ty Burrell fighting and strangling a rubber chicken. The hand of an unidentified man presents him with an Emmy Award, but Burrell tells the man that he does not have any more room in his house for it.

On the eve of its becoming legal, a marijuana grower is murdered. His best friend Carter (James Hutson), against the advice of his mentor Ricardo (Cheech Marin), teams up with narcotics investigator Bernie (A.C. Peterson) to discover the reasons and find the killer.

The goal is to seduce as many women as possible in 5 days of stay at the seaside resort. But the targets are not easy – grandmother, wife of an oligarch, virgin, feminist and sectarian. But unexpectedly love starts to interfere with the game of sex.

The novel begins with a case of cyberbullying a humble family girl who ends up being a victim of a network of human traffic. Evan Smoak saves the girl but realizes that another young woman has been embarked on a freighter to be sold. When he prepares to save her, he himself is kidnapped by a group of professionals, drugged and transferred to a mansion in the middle of the mountains.

At first Evan believes that his mortal enemy, Van Sciver, is behind everything, but the owner of the mansion introduces himself as René, a cynical criminal addicted to luxury that all he wants is access to the bulky secret account of Evan.

Despite being a man with many resources, Smoak soon realizes that it will not be easy for him to escape from his cage: the mansion is guarded by mercenaries, dobermans, two snipers and René's personal behemoth of a man, Dex.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine, the lethal Candy McClure, whose code name Orphan V, remains obsessed with getting revenge on Smoak, but begins to question the methods of her organization when an innocent girl is killed by her new partner, a psychopath eunuch nicknamed Orphan M.

After teleporting several members of the mutant underground away from agents of the Sentinel Services (SS) in the previous episode, Clarice Fong falls unconscious and loses control of her abilities. A portal from the underground's base to an unknown rural road opens, sending part of a truck crashing into the base and injuring Caitlin Strucker. Her daughter Lauren is able to close the portal with her control over air molecules.

In prison, the mutant Lorna Dane / Polaris is given a collar that shocks her whenever she attempts to use her abilities. She faces discrimination from the human inmates, including Scar, who was injured by a mutant in her past, and leads a group to physically attack Polaris. The latter fights through the pain of the shock collar to attack Scar back with a metal table, and is sent to solitary confinement. Also in custody, Caitlin’s husband Reed is questioned by SS agent Jace Turner about the location of the mutant underground. After Turner threatens Reed's mother, Reed agrees to give up the mutants' location on the condition that he and his family goes free.

Caitlin, a trained nurse, and underground member Marcos Diaz race to a nearby hospital that still treats mutants. Diaz uses an injury from earlier to quickly see a doctor. Fong's abilities become more intense, opening portals to that same road more frequently, with first local police coming to investigate on the other side, and then SWAT. When Lauren is no longer able to close the portals, her brother Andy defends them with his telekinetic abilities. These disturb Fong even more, and portals beginning flashing around the compound, causing major damage and starting a hasty evacuation. Caitlin is able to get medication from the hospital to help Fong, but she and Diaz are forced to flee when a doctor believes from her injury that she is a victim of domestic abuse. They arrive back in time to help Fong and stop the portals from destroying the compound.

Later, Roderick Campbell, a scientist studying mutants, asks one of his subordinates to contact the lead SS agent on the Struckers' case, comparing Lauren and Andy's situation to that of two mutant siblings in an incident in the 1960s.

Martin, the ex-con, is infiltrated by the police into a criminal group owned by Petar Tudzharov "Dzharo" to provide information about them. Martin later informs inspector Popov that Dzharo has an inside man in the police.

The film begins with a man killing his pregnant wife in their penthouse apartment in Farhope Tower after learning she had cheated on him, and there was a chance the baby was not his. The man then calmly puts a record on before hanging himself.

Decades later, five amateur paranormal investigators – Jake, Andre, Zoe, Judy, and Simon – are struggling to get their own television series. They learn that a producer is interested in their show, but demands they film a pilot episode at Farhope Tower, which is infamous due to the high number of suicides and murders committed there. While Jake, Judy, and Simon are enthusiastic about the opportunity, Andre is worried, as Farhope Tower was the first place he and Jake encountered the paranormal as children, and they had sworn never to go back. Jake convinces Andre that everything will be fine. That night, Jake has a nightmare in which he is wandering Farhope Tower before an unseen person grabs him by the neck.

The group go to the tower and find it abandoned and in disrepair. Simon finds a room with the message "Go Up" written all over the walls, then later finds several newspaper clippings regarding the incidents in the tower, including the murder from the opening scene, which also reveals that the pregnant woman's baby survived. The group deduce that, since all the suicides happened in the top floors of the building, that is where they will find indications of spirits. They discover a staircase and make their way to the tenth floor as night falls.

Jake suggests the group split up, despite Andre's protests. Jake and Simon proceed alone and find an office, where Simon finds and reads a suicide note; as he reads it, Jake begins experiencing a severe headache. Simon then asks Jake if he and Zoe are a couple. Jake becomes suddenly angry and attacks Simon before immediately returning to normal. A panicked Simon demands they leave the tower, but Jake begins screaming at him again. Meanwhile, Zoe, Judy, and Andre hear music and find an unplugged radio that somehow works. Zoe makes contact with a spirit, but when she begins asking questions, extremely loud screams fill the room and destroy their equipment and cellphones.

Jake awakens alone with his head bleeding and Simon missing. He meets up with the others. Zoe and Andre want to leave, but Judy refuses to abandon their chance at fame and Jake agrees. They begin searching for Simon, only to discover that the tower seems to be changing, with doors and staircases vanishing, leaving them with no way to get down. Andre angrily confronts Jake, revealing that when they came to Farhope Tower as kids, Jake was possessed by a spirit and nearly killed Andre. Jake refuses to leave without Simon, but begins hearing voices telling him to "go up".

Zoe enters a room and begins screaming – the others find her with her leg snapped, and she says the room had no floor and she was falling. Zoe reveals she is pregnant with Jake's baby. Jake sees Simon at the end of the hall and the group attempt to follow; Andre becomes separated from the others and is possessed by a spirit who forces him to disembowel himself. The group find him as he dies. They try to find a way to get out of the tower, but Zoe is suddenly possessed and begins flailing and moaning before suddenly miscarrying the baby. She returns to normal and breaks down sobbing, and Jake tries to comfort her while a horrified Judy runs away.

Judy discovers Simon's GoPro camera on the floor and watches the footage, which reveals that Jake murdered Simon while being possessed by a spirit. Jake finds her and becomes possessed again, and he chases Judy through the hallway. Judy escapes, and a woman's voice tells Jake to "go up". Jake returns to Zoe and convinces her that going up is the only way to get out of the tower. Judy reaches the roof of the tower, where a ghost possesses her and forces her to stab herself in the throat.

Simon and Zoe make their way to the penthouse. Zoe finds a photograph of the man and his wife from the opening scene, and realizes that Jake is the baby that survived and was given away – the spirits of Jake's mother and his mother's killer had been luring him there ever since Jake entered the tower as a child. Jake, possessed by the man's spirit, brutally beats Zoe to death. Jake then calmly gets a chair and a rope and hangs himself, mirroring the deaths of his mother and father. Shortly after the screen goes black, Zoe gasps for air, revealing to still be alive.

The game begins with a cutscene of a young Désiré who is asked by his kindergarten teacher why he hasn't drawn the sun like the other children; he replies that he has never seen the sun, since it "is always night in his head".

The game continues on a beach in 1992, where a young Désiré wants to cast a "love spell" on a classmate he has a crush on. The player directs Désiré in all his actions, such as picking up objects, talking to various characters, and exploring the world. After successfully burying a box with an egg, which has the name of Désiré's crush on it, the game continues to the next chapter.

Désiré, who lives in the suburbs of Lyon with his parents and brother Bruno, is advised by an old man (who is apparently imaginary, as other characters imply) to stand up against a boy named David who bullies him at school. Désiré plots to catch David in the act of masturbating and distribute pictures of it around the school. After successfully doing this, David and Désiré are both expelled from school.

The next chapter starts in 2003. Désiré, now an adult man living in Paris, is informed that his company is firing him because they are outsourcing part of its operations. Désiré is in love with Elma, who doesn't seem to return the feeling, and he promises her a gig at a restaurant in an attempt to woo her. After successfully doing this, Elma doesn't show up at the day of the gig, and a heartbroken Désiré comes to believe that it is better not to love.

In 2011, Désiré has discarded love and instead visits brothels to satisfy his desires. The chapter begins with a dream or hallucination of Désiré standing before a brothel which appears as a giant woman's genital area. Désiré also visits Élodie, one of his friends, who is in love with her dog Rocco. He decides to visit another friend, Damien, and recruits the help of Andy, another friend, to find Damien after discovering threatening letters from Damien's neighbour. Eventually, it is discovered that Damien committed suicide; it is also revealed Damien was a pedophile but never acted on it. The chapter ends with Désiré talking to a hallucination of an obese man who tries to convince him to stop changing society, however corrupt it might be, and just accept everything.

The final chapter starts in 2020. Désiré has been living a village in Congo for 2 years, but wants to return to France and find the manuscript which an old sailor gave him when he was a child. His parents gave the manuscript to a charity, and Désiré returns to Lyon in search of it. A clue in a secondhand shop gives him a lead, but the shop salesman, who is revealed to be David, confronts Désiré, who is forced to beat him up. Désiré traces the manuscript to a small village. He finds a young girl, Léa, alone on the streets and reveals her grandfather is Martin Lacour, an antique collector who currently owns the manuscript. Désiré accompanies Léa back home, and Lacour reluctantly allows Désiré to read the manuscript. After realizing it is the real one, he steals it from Lacour's safe and reads it in the local church. Désiré is now able to see colors, and is ecstatic, but can't bring himself to steal it and decides to return it to Léa, who thanks him. The chapters ends with Désiré hallucinating an apparition of Jesus, who claims Désiré is afraid of change and gave the manuscript away for that reason.

The game ends with Désiré finally accepting the world as it ends, yet feeling condemned to live while pursuing his path.

Each episode unfolds around a project, such as a movie, event, or public relations activity that the client is assigned by an advertising agency. Each episode depicts the production of the idea, including pseudo-rational choices and decisions that reduce it to a travesty. The absurdity is heightened by the fact that the employees are portrayed by actors in animal costumes.

Throughout the series, stories develop relationships between various characters: a romantic relationship between Bear and Chicken, Lion's ambition to climb the ranks, a secret romance between Giraffe and Rat, a classic relationship between Sheep and Shepherd, and Dog's attachment to guarding Sheep. In addition, the series shows the envy among creative professionals, who turn out to be "typical of an office full of stuffed animals."

Duluth, Minnesota, a city on the shores of Lake Superior. It's the winter of 1934 and America is in the grip of the Great Depression.

The story is narrated by Dr. Walker, physician to the Laine family. Nick Laine is the proprietor of a rundown guesthouse. The bank is threatening to foreclose on the property and he is desperate to find a way to save his family from homelessness.

Their children are Gene, who is in his early twenties, and their adopted daughter, Marianne, who is nineteen.

Marianne is five months pregnant and the identity of the father is a mystery she guards carefully. Nick is trying to arrange a marriage between Marianne and a local shoe mender, Mr. Perry, in order to secure her future. The social awkwardness is complicated by the fact that Marianne is a black girl living with a white family. She was abandoned in the guesthouse as a baby and brought up by Nick and Elizabeth.

Gene is unable to get a grip on his life, and veers between ambitions of becoming a writer and debilitating alcohol binges, a situation not helped when his sweetheart, Kate, announces she is marrying a man with better prospects.

Nick has become involved in a relationship with a resident of the guest house, Mrs. Neilsen, a widow who is waiting for her late husband's will to clear probate. They dream of a better future when her money comes through, although she scolds Nick for his constant pessimism.

Also staying at the house are a family, the Burkes. Mr. Burke lost his business in the crash. His wife, Laura, and his son, Elias, share a room upstairs. Elias has a learning disability and the family struggle to come to terms with their reduced state.

Late at night, during a storm, a self-styled reverend bible salesman, Marlowe, and a down-on-his-luck boxer, Joe Scott, arrive looking for shelter. The arrival of these characters is a catalyst, changing everything for everyone in the house.

The action flashes forward 11 months. Ally divulges to Beverly that the FBI recruited her as an informant while she was institutionalized. Beverly then becomes a key advisor to Ally's Senate campaign.

After rebuilding his cult behind bars with both inmates and a security guard, Kai escapes from a maximum security prison and infiltrates a televised political debate between Ally and her opponent. Armed with a gun provided by Gloria, he proceeds to take credit for Ally's success and rant that women should learn their place.

Ally obtains the vast majority of the female vote and wins a Senate seat.

Later, Ally puts Oz to bed. She then dons a SCUM cloak before departing into the night to attend a meeting of "empowered women who want to change the system".

The novel takes place over the course of three sections, which begin with quotations from the works of Charles Dickens, Park Wan-suh, and Benedict Anderson, respectively.

Book I, ''Gohyang/''Hometown, begins with the story of Sunja's father, Hoonie, and ends with Noa's birth. Book II, Motherland, begins with Baek Isak's incarceration and ends with Sunja's search of Koh Hansu. *Book III, Pachinko, begins with Noa's new beginnings in Nagano and ends with Sunja's reflections upon everything that has happened to her.

Book I (1910–1933)

In 1883, in the little island fishing village of Yeongdo, which is a ferry ride from Busan, an aging fisherman and his wife take in lodgers to make a little more money. They have three sons, but only one, Hoonie, who has a cleft lip and twisted foot, survives to adulthood. Because of his deformities, Hoonie is considered ineligible for marriage. When he is 27, Japan annexes Korea, and many families are left destitute and without food. Due to their prudent habits, Hoonie's family's situation is comparatively more stable, and a matchmaker arranges a marriage between Hoonie and Yangjin, the daughter of a poor farmer who had lost everything in the colonial conquest. Hoonie and Yangjin take over the lodging house upon the passing of Hoonie's parents.

In the mid-1910s, Yangjin and Hoonie have a daughter named Sunja. After her thirteenth birthday, she is raised by her mother Yangjin, her father Hoonie having died from tuberculosis. At age sixteen, Sunja is pursued by a wealthy fishbroker named Koh Hansu. Sunja becomes pregnant, after which Hansu reveals that he is already married but intends to keep her as his mistress. Ashamed, Sunja refuses to be his mistress and ends their relationship. Her mother finds out Sunja is pregnant, but Sunja keeps the father's identity a secret. Yangjin discusses the matter with one of their lodgers, a Christian minister suffering from tuberculosis. Baek Isak, the minister, believes he will die soon due to his many illnesses, and decides to marry Sunja to give her child a name and to give meaning to his life. Sunja agrees to the plan, marries Isak, and travels with him to Osaka to live with Isak's brother and his wife. In Osaka, Sunja is shocked to learn that Koreans are treated poorly: most are forced to live in a small ghetto and are only hired for menial jobs. Sunja's brother-in-law, Yoseb, insists on supporting the entire household on his own salary, but Sunja and her sister-in-law Kyunghee come to learn he is in heavy debt due to paying for Sunja and Isak's passage to Osaka. To repay the debtors, a pregnant Sunja sells a watch Hansu had given her in Yeongdo.

Book II (1939–1962)

The novel jumps in time, and in Book II, Sunja raises her two children, Noa (Hansu's son), and Mozasu (Isak's son). While Noa resembles Hansu in appearance, he is similar in personality to Isak, and he seeks a quiet life of learning, reading, and academia. Shortly after Mozasu is born, a member of Isak's church is caught reciting the Lord's Prayer when they were supposed to be worshiping the emperor, and Isak is sent to prison. Despite Yoseb's resistance, Sunja begins to work in the market, selling kimchi that she and Kyunghee make at home. Their small business is profitable, but as Japan enters World War II and ingredients grow scarce, they struggle to make money. Sunja is eventually approached by the owner of a restaurant, Kim Changho, who pays her and Kyunghee to make kimchi in his restaurant daily, providing them with financial security. A dying Isak is eventually released from prison, and he is able to briefly reunite with his family before dying.

A few years later, on the eve of the restaurant's closure, Sunja is approached by Hansu, who reveals that he is the actual owner of the restaurant and has been manipulating her family for years, having tracked Sunja down after she sold her watch. He arranges for her to spend the rest of the war in the countryside with Kyunghee and her children and for Yoseb to wait the rest of the war out working at a factory in Nagasaki. During her time at the farm, Hansu also reunites Sunja with her mother, Yangjin, and eventually returns a permanently crippled Yoseb to the family after he is horrifically burned during the bombings.

The Baek family return to Osaka where Noa and Mozasu resume their studies. The family continues to struggle in spite of Hansu's help. Though they long to return to the North of Korea, where Kyunghee has family, Hansu warns them not to. Noa succeeds in passing the entrance exams for Waseda University. Despite Sunja's resistance, Hansu pays for Noa's entire university education, pretending it is simply because as an older Korean man he feels responsible for helping the younger generation. Meanwhile, Mozasu drops out of school and goes to work for Goro, a man who runs pachinko parlors. Mozasu meets and falls in love with a Korean seamstress, Yumi, who dreams of moving to America. The two marry and have a son, Solomon. Yumi later dies in a car accident, leaving Mozasu to raise their son on his own. Noa, who has continued his studies and looks up to Hansu as a mentor, accidentally discovers that Hansu is his father, and he learns of his ties to the yakuza. Ashamed of his true heritage and of being linked to corrupt blood, he drops out of university and disowns his family.

Book III (1962–1989)

Noa moves to Nagano, intending to work off his debt to Hansu and rid himself of his shameful heritage. He becomes a bookkeeper for a racist pachinko owner who won't hire Koreans and lives undercover using his Japanese name, Nobuo, marrying a Japanese woman and having four children. After having abandoned his birth family and living sixteen years under a false identity, Noa is tracked down by Hansu at the request of Sunja. Though Hansu warns Sunja not to immediately approach Noa, Sunja refuses to listen to his warnings and begs Noa to reunite with her and the rest of the family. Noa promises to call, and he commits suicide shortly after Sunja leaves.

In the meantime, Mozasu has become extremely wealthy, owning his own pachinko parlors and dating a Japanese divorcee, Etsuko, who refuses to marry him. Hana, Etsuko's troubled teenage daughter from her previous marriage, arrives to stay with her mother after learning she is pregnant, and later she has an abortion. Hana is drawn to Solomon's innocence and they begin a sexual relationship. He quickly falls in love with her, giving her large sums of money which she uses to run away to Tokyo.

Years later, Solomon, now attending college in New York City and dating a Korean-American woman named Phoebe, receives a call from a drunken Hana in Roppongi. He relays the information to Etsuko and Mozasu, who manage to locate her. After graduating from Columbia University, Solomon takes a job at a British bank and moves back to Japan with Phoebe. His first major client project involves convincing an elderly Korean woman to sell her land in order to clear the way for the construction of a golf resort, which he accomplishes by calling in a favor from his father's friend Goro. When the woman dies of natural causes soon afterwards, Solomon's employers claim that the deal will attract negative publicity and they fire him, citing his father's connections to pachinko and implying that the woman was murdered.

With newfound resolve and a clearer outlook on life, Solomon breaks up with Phoebe, goes to work for his father's business, and makes amends with a dying Hana in the hospital. Now an elderly woman, Sunja visits Isak's grave and reflects on her life. She learns from the cemetery groundskeeper that despite the shame Noa felt for his family, Noa had regularly visited Isak's grave even after moving to Nagano. This gives Sunja the closure and reassurance she needs, and she buries a photo of Noa beside Isak's grave.

''The Passion of Life'' is the story of two lives, in their separate attraction and repulsion, told in smooth verse. The reader picks out the story from the poems, and has no great fault to find with it as a study of self-restraint. It is when he comes to inquire into the poetry of the thing that he begins at once to doubt.

The book is divided in an introduction and three parts: The Days of Innocence and Dreams; The Days of Splendor and Terror; and The Days of Absence and Silence.

In the Introduction, Virginia Vallejo describes her departure from Colombia on 18 July 2006 in a special flight of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), after she has accused a former senator and minister of justice, Alberto Santofimio, of instigating the assassination of a former presidential candidate, Luis Carlos Galan, and after she had offered her cooperation to the Department of Justice in ongoing high-profile criminal cases.

The story begins with the joy and passion of two new lovers -Pablo, an ambitious rookie politician from humble origins, and Virginia, a socialite and media personality, both 32 years old- and continues with the evolution of their relationship and Escobar's personality during his war against the extradition treaty between Colombia and the United States, and the terrorist activities of him and the Medellin cartel in their last years.

Like a snowball, Vallejo describes the birth and boom of the cocaine industry that turned her lover into a billionaire, thanks to the cooperation of leading politicians; the origins of the Colombian rebel organizations, and the paramilitary squads founded by Escobar and his partners; the assassinations of the justice minister Rodrigo Lara in 1984, and the siege of the Palace of Justice in 1985; the suffering of the journalist after she had ended her relationship with the drug kingpin in 1987, and her cooperation with the anti drug German agency BKA in 1988; the Cuban connection, and the bombing of an airplane with 110 people on board in 1989 (Avianca Flight 203); the assassination of Luis Carlos Galán, and three more presidential candidates; the origins of Escobar's war against the Cali cartel and the Colombian state, followed by the era of narcoterrorism from 1988 to 1993; the coalition of enforcement agencies and Escobar's enemies involved in his hunt; and, finally, the worldwide reaction to the death of the Number One Enemy of the United States on 2 December 1993.

The novel begins on Jojo's thirteenth birthday. To step into his new role as a man, Jojo tries to help his grandfather, Pop, kill a goat. He is sickened by the slaughter, but Pop is not disappointed in him, as he had feared. Pop uses the goat to make stew and while the food is cooking, he tells Jojo about his family. Pop tells Jojo about how he was sent to Parchman prison when he was 15. Pop's older brother, Stag, got into a bar fight with some white Navy officers. The officers came after Stag and also took Pop, who was home at that time. Both boys were then sent to Parchman prison. It was there that Pop met Richie, a 12-year-old inmate. Leonie receives a call during the birthday celebration, and it is Michael, Jojo and Kayla's father, informing Leonie that he is coming home from prison where he has been for three years.

The next day, Leonie argues with Pop about whether she should take Jojo and Kayla with her on the trip. At Mam's suggestion, she invites her coworker Misty, whose boyfriend is also incarcerated in Parchman. While she talks to her mom, Leonie realizes that Mam's cancer is getting worse.

During the car ride, Jojo finds a gris-gris bag from Pop with instructions to keep it close. He also recalls Pop telling him about Kinnie Wagner, a white inmate who looked after the dogs at Parchman (based on the real-life Kenny Wagner). Because of Pop's affinity with animals, Kinnie chose him to help look after the dogs. Leonie's party arrives at the house of a white woman, and Jojo walks around and finds a man cooking meth. Misty leaves the woman's house with a bag of meth which she tries to hide from Jojo and Kayla. Back in the car, Kayla begins to get sick. Leonie remembers Mam teaching her about plants that help with an upset stomach. Leonie needs wild strawberries but is only able to find wild blackberries.

Jojo holds Kayla and tries to comfort her by telling her stories. Eventually, they pull over to the house of Al, Michael's lawyer. Leonie cooks the blackberry leaves. Jojo doesn’t trust Leonie and doesn’t think the wild blackberries will help, but he is afraid Leonie will hit him if he says anything. After Leonie, Misty, and Al leave the room, Jojo forces Kayla to throw up Leonie's mixture. Instead of sleeping, Jojo recalls Pop telling him about when Richie got whipped for breaking his hoe and Kinnie escaped from Parchman. In the morning they drive to Parchman and check Michael out of prison. When Michael comes out, he embraces Leonie. He tries to hold Kayla but she doesn’t recognize him. Kayla throws up again. Jojo looks outside the car and sees the ghost of Richie.

The next chapter is narrated by Richie. He recognizes Jojo as Pop's child and recalls how Pop protected him while they were in Parchman. No one in the car except for Jojo and Kayla can see Richie.

On the drive back, the group is pulled over by a police officer. There is no time to hide the meth, so Leonie swallows it. Leonie, without thinking, tells the officer that they are coming back from Parchman. The officer handcuffs Leonie. He also handcuffs Michael. Jojo get out of the car with Kayla and the officer handcuffs him too. Jojo reaches into his pocket to grab the gris-gris bag Pop gave him and the officer pulls out his gun on him. Misty drops Kayla, who runs to Jojo and wraps herself around him. Kayla throws up on the officer and he lets them go.

When they arrive back at the house, they realize that Mam and Pop are not in the house. Michael wants to go to his parents' house, and Leonie doesn’t want to but she eventually gives in. When they arrive at Michael's parents' house, his mother is at first civil and urges Michael's dad, Big Joseph, to do the same. However, Big Joseph is unable to restrain himself and calls Leonie a slur. Michael head-butts Big Joseph and they start fighting. They drive back home where Pop and Mam have returned. Leonie goes to see Mam, who tells Leonie to gather necessary items to perform a ritual to summon Maman Brigitte, a death loa in voodoo. Richie sees Pop and tries to talk to him, but Pop is unable to see him.

Jojo asks Pop about what happened to Richie and Pop finally tells Jojo. A man named Blue raped one of the female inmates at Parchman. Richie caught Blue in the act and escaped Parchman with him. While they were running, Blue happened upon a white girl and ripped her dress. The girl then reported this incident, and the local white population decided to seek revenge through lynching Blue. Pop knew that the white men wouldn't make a distinction between Blue and Richie. When the white men caught up with Blue and Richie, they skinned Blue alive and cut off parts of his body. To protect Richie from the same fate, Pop stabbed him in the neck, killing him quickly. Pop has been haunted by this action ever since. After he tells Jojo the story, he breaks down in tears and Jojo consoles him. Richie's ghost screams and disappears.

Leonie enters Mam's room to find her in a terrible state. Her room smells like rot. Mam tells Leonie that it is too late. Mam sees Richie on the ceiling. He is vengeful. Richie shouts at Mam, urging her to come with him, but Given shouts at him that Mam is not his mother. Jojo and Pop run in and Leonie jumps into action and begins saying the litany to summon Maman Brigitte. Jojo tells Richie to leave because nobody owes him anything anymore. Richie leaves and Given takes Mam with him. Mam dies. Michael comes back and he and Leonie leave.

In the final chapter, Jojo explains that he sleeps in Leonie's bed now. Leonie and Michael only come back for two days out of every week, and then they leave again. Pop sleeps in Mam's room now and he talks to himself at night, searching for Mam. Although he hoped he would be able to, Jojo is not able to see Mam and Given, he only sees Richie. He also sees other ghosts who have all died through violent means. Kayla tells the ghosts to go home but they don’t listen to her. She begins to sing and they all smile with relief.

Morgan (Lennie James), Tara (Alanna Masterson) and Jesus (Tom Payne) lead a silent coordinated surprise attack on the same radio telescope observatory they had previously cleared of Saviors; however, Morgan along with Andy (Jeremy Palko) and Freddie (Brett Gentile), appear to be gunned down. Tara and Jesus find a man cowering in a closet claimed to be a worker from the Sanctuary, and while Tara is eager to kill him, Jesus suggests they keep him alive. However, the man turns on them, threatening to shoot Jesus. Tara and Jesus overpower him and tie him up. They later find the remaining Saviors who voluntarily drop their guns. Morgan, who was only stunned unconscious in the attack, vengefully kills any remaining Saviors on his way out and is stopped by Jesus from killing the ones they have taken captive.

King Ezekiel (Khary Payton) and Carol (Melissa McBride) command their forces to a Savior pharmacy lab. With only one Savior left, they try to shoot him but only wound him, giving the guard the chance to set off a smoke bomb and unleash walkers that had been trapped within the building. Ezekiel's group readily dispatches them, but the guard has escaped and they fear he might reach a nearby Savior stronghold to warn them. They find a trail of blood and surmise he is moving slowly; they also discover a walker with its skin ripped off and Ezekiel becomes curious as to its fate. They eventually catch up with the man and Shiva the tiger mauls the man to death. Ezekiel enthusiastically rallies his troops to take the nearby Savior stronghold, despite the fact the Saviors know they are coming.

Aaron (Ross Marquand) and his boyfriend Eric (Jordan Woods-Robinson) lead the assault on a warehouse where many Saviors are holed up. Francine (Dahlia Legault) dies of a shot in the chest during the shooting. When some of the Saviors attempt to flank them, Eric takes a risky move to move around cover and stop them. The firefight is protracted and the Saviors realize too late that its goal was to wait out the deaths of the first victims to reanimate into walkers, as to attack the remaining Saviors within. As the fight dies down, Aaron finds Eric had been shot in the stomach and races him to safety.

Using Aaron's distraction, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) sneak into a town hall, where Dwight's info said that heavy machine guns are hidden; Rick desires to capture these to prevent the Saviors using them to clear the walker horde. Finding the place empty, the two split up. Rick encounters one man who gets into a fight, seemingly protecting a specific door. Rick impales him on a shelf bracket and then opens the door, only to find a sleeping infant, and Rick becomes devastated. He is distracted enough by his act that he is easily caught at gunpoint by Morales (Juan Pareja), one of the first survivors Rick met at Atlanta, and who is now loyal to the Saviors.

Inside the Savior office outpost, Morales (Juan Pareja), a former member of Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) group, holds Rick at gunpoint while Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Rick search for a cache of heavy machine guns belonging to the Saviors. Rick and Morales discuss at length their tribulations since they parted; Morales lost his family while Rick admits he lost many. Morales swears his loyalty to Negan and insists that Rick is a "monster" for what he's done, but Rick tries to appeal to him. Suddenly, Daryl appears and kills Morales without any remorse despite having recognized him. Finding no guns elsewhere, the two take Gracie, the infant Rick found earlier, and leave to join with Aaron (Ross Marquand)'s forces.

Outside the stronghold, Aaron's forces have kept the Saviors confined, forcing them to deal with the reanimation of their dead colleagues rather than their attackers. Aaron drags his wounded partner Eric (Jordan Woods-Robinson) away from battle. Eric insists that Aaron leaves him behind and gives him a final kiss before Aaron returns to the battle. Rick and Daryl arrive shortly to help deal with the remaining Saviors. Aaron goes back to where he left Eric and finds a re-animated Eric walking off into the woods. Aaron, in a state of shock, is pulled back in and volunteers to take Gracie back to the Hilltop. One Savior, attempting to flee, confesses that the guns had been transported to a new location. Rick had given the Savior his word that he could leave if he answered their questions, but Daryl quickly kills the man. Rick looks upset with Daryl’s actions, but says nothing. The two then set off to the location of the guns.

At the Hilltop, Gregory (Xander Berkeley) returns and begs to be let back in to Maggie (Lauren Cohan), but she demands that he tells her what happened at the Sanctuary, seeing that he is driving the car assigned to Father Gabriel. Gregory falsely claims that he doesn't know who Gabriel is and says he was negotiating with Negan, trying to arrange for the best for the Hilltop. While Maggie is distrustful, she lets him in as she comments Gregory isn't worth killing.

Meanwhile, Morgan Jones (Lennie James), Jesus (Tom Payne), and Tara (Alanna Masterson) lead a group of captive Saviors along a road. One Savior, Jared (Joshua Mikel), who shot Morgan's protégé Benjamin, taunts Morgan, leading Morgan to turn his gun onto him. Just as Jesus tries to intervene a horde of walkers appears, allowing some of the Saviors (including Jared) to escape. Morgan attempts to give chase and fires on the escapees, killing one, before Jesus and Tara tackle him. Morgan and Jesus fight about how to handle the remaining Saviors, before Tara breaks them up. Morgan walks away. Jesus and Tara deliver the remaining prisoners to the Hilltop. Gregory attempts to discourage them from keeping the hostiles there. Maggie, though cautious of holding the prisoners, refuses to listen to Gregory.

Elsewhere, Carol (Melissa McBride) and King Ezekiel (Khary Payton) lead their army against a nearby Savior outpost. They are victorious with no apparent losses, but as they revel in their win, some hiding Saviors open fire on them with heavy machine guns, the same guns Rick had been looking for.

The golden city of Orazca, buried deep in the jungle, houses a great secret. The immortal sun, an artifact of immense power, is hidden there. Now, that secret has become known. The great forces of the plane gather to combat one another in a contest to see who will claim the mighty prize. The plane is home to four primary tribes, each with distinct synergies and advantages that draw off of one another. The merfolk River Heralds, the vampiric Legion of Dusk, the Brazen Coalition of pirates, and the Sun Empire's dinosaur riders all meet in open conflict to decide the fate of their world.

Main Factions

• Sun Empire: the Empire "controls the eastern coast of Ixalan, called the Sun Coast, as well as their three major cities along the coastal region. [...] While the Empire repels outsiders, they consider the greatest achievement to be victory without killing their opponents. The Empire is in a time of expansion, looking to reclaim old territories and regain their former strength".

• Brazen Coalition: these four pirate fleets "don't control much territory outside of the outlying islands in the northeast and their floating capital of High and Dry. [...] The pirates are the descendants of refugees who fled the Legion of Dusk in Torrezon a century before, believing they could find sanctuary on Ixalan. When the locals proved less than receptive, the refugees turned to piracy to survive".

• River Heralds: the merfolk "are aptly named as they control the nine major rivers of Ixalan, meaning their territory includes most of inland Ixalan. [...] The River Heralds are divided into nine tribes led by Shapers, merfolk wizards and shamans who have taken the name of one of the nine tributaries of Ixalan. [...] The River Heralds believe they were entrusted with the protection of Orazca by the Last Guardian, believing the power contained in the city to be dangerous in mortal hands".

• The Legion of Dusk: they "are the rulers of Torrezon" and "control the southeast coastal region, called Queen's Bay. [...] While most of the Legion of Dusk is human, the nobility and clergy are vampires, turned in a ritual reserved for only the most deserving. Their dogma is to feed on enemies and criminals, and their constant expansion has left them with no short supply of either. They believe that the Immortal Sun will transform their vampirism from everlasting undeath into eternal life".
