The six Queens introduce themselves performing at a pop concert, telling the audience that the position of the band's lead singer will be the prize for whoever they determine had the worst experience at the hands of their common husband, Henry VIII ("Ex-Wives"). Catherine of Aragon recounts how Henry wished to annul their marriage and place her in a nunnery when he began lusting after Anne Boleyn despite being loyal to him during their marriage, much to her anger ("No Way"). In turn, Anne mocks Catherine about how Henry wanted her instead but then complains of the infidelity Henry partook in, which led to Anne flirting with other men to make him jealous and ending up beheaded ("Don't Lose Ur Head"). Jane Seymour steps up to take her turn, but is ridiculed for having had an easy time with Henry. However, while admitting she may have been the only wife Henry truly loved, Jane claims that his love was conditional on her having produced a male heir, and that she stood by him despite his many faults ("Heart of Stone").

Themes relating to ideas of female beauty are explored in Hans Holbein's portrait studio, where the Queens parody a dating app by presenting a choice of three potential brides for Henry ("Haus of Holbein"). He chooses Anna of Cleves, but soon rejects her and annuls the marriage, suggesting she failed to resemble her portrait. She makes a show of complaining about living in a beautiful palace in Richmond with an enormous fortune and no man to tell her what to do, but in reality, ends up bragging about it ("Get Down"). The Queens question this, and Anna admits her lavish lifestyle lacked actual tragedy. The Queens then belittle Katherine Howard for being "the least relevant Catherine", but in retaliation she enumerates flaws in the others' claims to winning. She then recounts her romantic history, having had many suitors even as a child, and at first relishes her attractiveness; however, she soon reveals the emotional trauma and abuse she faced in each of these relationships ("All You Wanna Do").

As the Queens continue to fight over who is the true winner, Catherine Parr questions the point of the competition, which defines them by their connection to Henry rather than as individuals. The Queens nonetheless continue to argue. Frustrated, Parr recalls her separation from her lover, Sir Thomas Seymour, and arranged marriage with Henry, but instead of lamenting, she acknowledges her accomplishments independent of Henry ("I Don't Need Your Love"). The other Queens, realising they have been robbed of their individuality, abandon the contest and declare that they don't need Henry's love to feel validated as people. They use their remaining moments onstage to rewrite their stories, singing together as a group rather than as solo artists, and writing their own "happily ever afters", had Henry never been involved ("Six"). They then perform a mashup of songs that appeared earlier in the show (minus House of Holbein) in which the audience have their permission to record ("Megasix").

In 1862 London, pilot Amelia Wren and scientist James Glaisher arrive for the launch of the largest balloon ever constructed. Despite being haunted by a vision of her late husband Pierre, Amelia keeps up the brave front and the balloon successfully launches to a cheering crowd. In a flashback, James appears before the Royal Society and explains his theory that the weather can be predicted, but his fellow scientists mock him and refuse to finance his studies. Returning home, he talks to his parents, who try to persuade him to pursue another avenue of science. On the balloon, James and Amelia start rising through the cloud layer. They soon run into a violent storm which sends the balloon spinning. In a flashback, Amelia is persuaded by her sister Antonia to attend a society function. There, Amelia is approached by James and he asks if she would be willing to pilot his balloon in a privately funded expedition while he attempts to prove his theories, to which she agrees.

Although James suffers a head injury while being thrown around, he and Amelia make it through the storm and continue rising. James releases the first of five pigeons carrying messages stating the current altitude along with other scientific readings in case they don't survive. They discover an air current which is home to a group of butterflies, confirming a theory of James' friend John Trew that insects can travel on air currents. In a flashback, as James practices for the flight, Amelia visits to tell him she has changed her mind. Eventually, the balloon exceeds , beating the record for the highest altitude. Amelia is shocked to learn that James didn't bring any clothes suitable for the rapidly decreasing temperature and decides to start descending. James refuses, and the two argue. Amelia agrees to keep rising, but makes it clear to James that they'll have to start descending soon.

In a flashback, John goes to see Amelia, telling her that she has an obligation to advance the cause of science. Amelia then goes to Pierre's grave to reflect. When it begins to snow (which John told her James had predicted), she decides to go with him after all. In the balloon, James starts experiencing hypoxia from the altitude but insists they continue and tries to stop Amelia from descending. He relents only when Amelia tells him the story of how Pierre sacrificed himself to save her during a balloon flight. Amelia discovers the gas release valve on top of the balloon is frozen. As James falls unconscious, she has no choice but to climb up the outside of the balloon and open the valve from the top. With frostbite setting in on her hands, she struggles to wedge her boot in the valve, causing a slow release of the gas. Amelia loses consciousness and topples over the side but is saved by her rope tether.

When she awakens, Amelia manages to swing back to the balloon and rouse James. As they continue to descend, snow begins to hover around them, indicating that the balloon is collapsing from the loss of too much gas. They manage to close the gas release and throw everything they can over the side, including all of James' equipment. When this doesn't work, they climb into the framework and release the basket. Realising that Amelia is ready to sacrifice herself to save him, James is able to convert the rest of the balloon into a parachute, which slows their descent. They crash through trees and hit the ground hard, with Amelia being dragged along behind the balloon. She wakes and calls for James, who staggers towards her. Both are injured, but euphoric that they managed to survive, setting a new human flight altitude record of . James' findings prove the existence of layers in the atmosphere, paving the way for the first weather forecasts, and he and Amelia build a new balloon so they can continue to conduct research together.

A cat narrates the story of the Willoughby siblings: Tim, Jane, and twins both named Barnaby. The Willoughby family has an accomplished history, but the children's parents only care about each other. They despise all children and deprive the siblings of love, food, and music. Tim longs for his family's past glory and unity.

Jane discovers an orphaned baby on the family's doorstep. She brings the baby inside despite Tim's warnings, and the baby wreaks havoc. The Willoughby parents throw their children out of the house, forbidding them to return unless they get rid of the baby. The children follow a rainbow to the doorstep of Commander Melanoff's candy factory, and believing it to be a suitable home, name the baby "Ruth" and leave her there. On their way home, the siblings hatch a plan to improve their lives by getting rid of their parents. The siblings put together a vacation brochure full of deadly destinations that could potentially kill their parents.

Their parents are excited by the brochure and leave immediately. Tim tries to take care of his siblings alone, but flounders until the nanny hired by their parents arrives. The nanny, Linda, proves to be much warmer and more caring than their parents, and Jane and the Barnabys warm up to her almost immediately; Tim, however, remains distrustful. When Linda learns about Ruth, she rushes to the candy factory with the children in tow. Melanoff explains that he originally intended to hand the baby over to the Department of Orphan Services, but grew attached to her; Linda is assured that Ruth will be well cared for in the factory.

Meanwhile, the Willoughby parents have somehow survived several hazardous destinations, but discover they’ve run out of money. Unwilling to return home, they decide to sell their house in order to further finance their vacation. They tell Linda by voice message, and Linda assures them she will take care of the children. Tim steals Linda's cell phone and finds the voice messages. He mistakenly assumes Linda means to dispose of the children, and secretly calls Orphan Services to report her.

The Willoughby parents hire a realtor to show the house to potential buyers, but the children scare off all but one family. Linda scares the last family off for them. Tim finally realizes how much Linda cares. However, Orphan Services arrive in response to Tim’s call. Heartbroken by Tim’s betrayal, Linda leaves in tears, and the Willoughby siblings are forcibly taken away and placed in separate foster homes until their parents' return. Tim repeatedly runs away from his well-meaning foster families and runs to the Willoughby home just in time to watch its demolition. Orphan Services decides to detain him in a cell at their Headquarters.

The narrator cat finally intervenes by giving Tim’s helmet to Linda. She decides to reunite the children. Disguised as a janitor, Linda sneaks into Tim's cell, reconciles with him, and breaks him out with Orphan Services in pursuit. Linda then retrieves and reunites the other Willoughby children.

The children decide to bring back their parents so Orphan Services will leave them alone. With the help of Linda, Ruth, and Melanoff, the Willoughbys build a dirigible to rescue them from the "Unclimbable Alps" in Sveetzerlünd, a parody of Switzerland, which is the final and deadliest destination on their parents' trip. The siblings decide to take the dirigible and leave the adults and Ruth behind. As they reach their destination, they follow a trail of their mother's yarn to the top of the mountain, where they find their parents nearly frozen to death. The siblings and the cat save them. The children confess that they sent them away but hope to reunite as a family. However, their parents are selfish as always, stealing the dirigible and abandoning the children. However, not knowing how to steer the dirigible, Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby crash into the ocean.

With no way off the mountain, the siblings prepare to freeze to death as Jane sings for them. Thankfully, Ruth, Melanoff and Linda followed the dirigible and heard Jane's song, finding the siblings just in time. Now officially orphans, the Willoughbys are adopted by Linda and Melanoff, living much happier lives together with Ruth and the Cat at Melanoff's candy factory. Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby are shown to have survived the dirigible crash and are stranded at sea, whereupon they are attacked by a shark.

Michonne narrates over scenes of the survivors continuing to rebuild their various communities and struggling to survive, six years after Rick Grimes' apparent death.

Judith leads Magna's group to Aaron, Eugene, Laura and Rosita, who are hesitant about protecting them, but Judith insists. They travel to Alexandria, just as Michonne returns from a scavenging run.

There, the council asks them questions similar to what Rick would ask of potential allies. While the other council members seem accepting of their answers, Michonne sees that Magna has a prison tattoo and demands she explain herself. She cannot do so, and the council votes to have them evicted from the community after Yumiko is treated. Judith, who has developed a rapport with the imprisoned Negan, is upset at Michonne for not trusting her. Michonne mulls over her decision as she tends to her and Rick's child, Rick Jr. (RJ). As the others are about to evict the group, Michonne has a change of heart and says they likely will be able to stay over at Hilltop, and will escort them personally there along with Siddiq and former Savior D.J. to watch over Yumiko's recovery.

At the Kingdom, Ezekiel recognizes the needs to have a trained blacksmith to help effect repairs, and decides to have Henry travel to Hilltop to be apprenticed in the art. Carol brings Henry along with a number of supplies she plans to bring to the Hilltop too. En route, they are attacked by the remains of the Saviors, aside from those who joined the other communities, led by Carol's old enemy Jed and former Savior lieutenant Regina. Jed reveals that the Sanctuary has fallen and the remaining Saviors have become marauders to survive. They steal the supplies, among them the ring that Ezekiel gave to Carol, and promise they will never see them again. That night, after setting up camp, Carol sneaks out to find the Saviors camp, douses the area in gasoline, and sets them ablaze, killing them while recovering her ring. They continue on the next day, rendezvousing with Daryl who has taken to living on his own.

Rosita and Eugene go to take some radio equipment to set up on a nearby water tower for Father Gabriel, who is trying to see if any other communities can make contact. They note that a large herd had passed, but believe it will not interfere with their goal. As Eugene places the radio equipment, he spots the horde now aiming for them. He spooks their horses as he tries to climb down, and Rosita rushes to recover essential gear from their wagon. Eugene is forced to jump the last bit off the tower and injures his leg, and after Rosita gets him a shovel as a makeshift crutch, the two escape. The horde surprisingly stays on their tail, and only until they find a wet ditch and cover themselves in mud does the horde seem to ignore their presence. They hear faint whispers of "Where are they?" and "They must be close, don't let them get away" as the horde passes, much to their horror.

In the present day at Old Timey Toys, Mystery Inc. is forced to retire from solving mysteries after catching a teenager-fearing Farmer Morgan and largely due to the ungrateful Sheriff telling them they could be arrested for "criminal negligence". In addition, Old Timey Toys' owner Mrs. Malvo was handcuffed outside for trying to stop a deal with Farmer Morgan.

The following day, they hold a garage sale and sell items from their old mysteries, even the Mystery Machine, leaving Fred depressed. They then discover the crystal ball that Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby used to contact Van Ghoul during their ghost recapturing adventures. At that moment, their old friend Van Ghoul contacts the gang about the final ghost. Daphne fills Fred and a skeptical Velma in, and unveils the red van dubbed the ''Misstery'' Machine, and the gang start on their journey to meet Van Ghoul.

On their way to his estate, they are chased by a phantom car but Daphne manages to skillfully outmaneuver it. Seeing Daphne take charge only furthers Fred's existential crisis as he feels he is without a role. The gang meet Van Ghoul, but are all attacked by the thirteenth ghost: a hulking, winged demon-like creature named Asmodeus. Shaggy reveals that he sent the chest to Van Ghoul's residence in the Himalayas and the gang travels there using a flying boat.

Upon arrival, they spot Bernie Alan who inquired about the crystal ball at the garage sale. Daphne, Van Ghoul, Scooby, and Shaggy tail him but are attacked by the phantom car again which uses its revving engine to create an avalanche. Vincent reveals he is unable to use his magic and the four crash into a temple. Meanwhile, Fred and Velma search a seemingly abandoned post office and unknowingly meet an adult Flim-Flam who tries to sell them Chest of Demons merchandise and ghost-catching equipment. They leave but are snatched up by something even Velma cannot explain and she comes to the conclusion that it must have been real ghosts.

Asmodeus had been waiting for Van Ghoul and chases the four when they find the chest. Van Ghoul breaks his crystal ball and somehow transports the kids outside the temple where they meet Velma and Fred. Fred cheers for his despondent team and a restored Daphne conducts a plan.

Velma visits Flim-Flam's store and takes everything. She, Fred, and Flim-Flam are once again pursued by the phantom car but are able to evade capture with the Mystery Machine's upgrades installed. Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby infiltrate the castle to help Van Ghoul and reunite with Flim-Flam, Velma, and Fred. They find Van Ghoul defeated. He reveals that Asmodeus is the demon form of his magically powerful ancestor Asomad Van Ghoul and thus blames the impending doom on himself. Asmodeus opens the Chest of Demons, something that Velma points out as being impossible, as the Chest can only be opened by the living. Asmodeus tries to run but is intercepted by Daphne and revealed as Mortifer. Mortifer wanted to sell the Chest to Alan for $10 million, but Alan reveals himself as an international agent and arrests Mortifer. However, he begins to escape in the phantom car, only to be recaptured.

A visage of the real Asmodeus and Asomad briefly appears. Velma deduces from a tome that the real Asmodeus was actually watching over Van Ghoul and has achieved redemption. However, she fabricated this story to give Van Ghoul closure. She debunks the first twelve ghosts as hallucinations due to the Himalayan thin air and teases opening the real Chest of Demons. However, upon seeing the gang's fearful faces, she decides not to. Daphne decides the gang should continue solving mysteries.

Gondo, a member of the Murai Family, stabs and kills the head of the rival Shinsei Group then turns himself in and serves out a six-year sentence in Gunma Prison. He expects a hero's reception when he is released but instead finds that only his sworn brother Ohno, who was with him during the stabbing, is waiting for him outside. Gondo is dismayed to see that members of the Shinsei Group are still operating in town and when he learns that Murai has made peace with the Shinsei Group he feels that his years in prison were spent in vain. Murai gives Gondo some money to get started again, which Gondo uses at a club run by Shiga, a member of the Shinsei Group whose face he slashed during the attack six years earlier. They get into a fight and Satake, the new head of the Shinsei Group, threatens to end the truce and return to war between the gangs. Murai explains the truce to Gondo and tells him not to cause any trouble in the territory run by the Shinsei Group. Shiga threatens to leave the Shinsei Group in order to have the freedom to kill Gondo outside of the truce but is told by Satake not to take out one small soldier when they could take down the entire Murai Family instead.

Gondo's violent nature alienates him from the other members of the Murai Family, who (apart from his loyal sworn brother Ohno) refuse to lend him money. They take over an unreported whorehouse by force by raping the owner and begin running it on their own by kidnapping women and forcing them to have sex with customers. While gambling on Shinsei turf, Gondo meets a homeless old man named Taichi who uses a snake to scare other gangsters and hires the man as his bodyguard. Satake orders Shiga to investigate where Gondo is getting his money. Gondo takes a liking to a new girl Ohno has brought in and rapes her, discovering afterwards that she was a virgin. She repeatedly fights off customers and attempts to escape so Gondo takes all of her clothes and boards up her windows. Shiga discovers Gondo's forceful methods with the girls and expresses his disgust to him. He tells Satake, who tells Adachi to discretely inform a detective, hoping to use their leverage to turn Gondo against the Murai Family. Tired of the new girl's antics, Gondo gives her a new dress and tells her to leave, but when she does she aimlessly wanders the streets. Shigeru tells Gondo to speak with Murai, who tells Gondo that the police are investigating him based on a time from the Shinsei Group and orders Gondo to shut down the whorehouse and destroy all evidence of it. Unable to return to work now that her factory has closed, the new girl is brought back by Taichi to Gondo at the closed whorehouse.

When Adachi threatens to sell the man's daughter to recover his debts, Gondo attacks Adachi and his men and forces them out. When the businessman refuses to pay them 500,000 yen for their efforts, they threaten to force his daughter into prostitution, at which point the man pays the money. As they are leaving they are attacked by a group of Shinsei soldiers who catch and kill Taichi and his snake.

Ellen Pascoe, a working class Cornish woman of 33, had endured a difficult childhood: first in her father's small cottage in a village near Land's End; then in St Ives where she had helped gut and clean the fish brought back by the fishing fleet, helped by her close childhood friend Susan Pengilly; and then, after her father's death, caring for her elderly grandmother in an isolated cottage on Bodmin Moor.

For years she had been intending to marry Derek Tregonny, one of the fishermen, a man severely affected by his wartime experiences 20 years earlier and who had become taciturn and sometimes surly. Their poverty had over the years always prevented them from naming a specific date for their wedding.

When Ellen secures a job as a live-in waitress at a hotel in Tintagel, and Derek unexpectedly finds a local market for his lobsters, the couple at last have sufficient funds, and they decide to marry later that year on Michaelmas Day.

One of the hotel's guests, an American academic, tells Ellen about Lyonesse and Tintagel's mythological past, and encourages her to read the romance of Tristram and Iseult. He investigates a local stone with a hole in it that is reputed to grant the wish of anybody who climbs through, and he offers to climb through on her behalf. She makes a secret wish. As Ellen's knowledge increases and her outlook expands, she feels herself to be awakening and capable of thoughts and ambitions previously unknown to her. She decides to stay in Tintagel, to get Derek a job in the local quarry, and to rent a small cottage nearby. She hopes to be able to enthuse Derek with her new-found outlook and ambitions, but is assailed by doubts and misgivings.

A postcard unexpectedly arrives for her at the hotel. Sent by Susan, it informs her that Derek has drowned. The manager allows Ellen a short period of leave, and she takes the next charabanc to Land’s End where the burial is to take place. On the way, the driver, who does not know of her connection with the dead man, informs her that Derek committed suicide.

After the burial, she goes back with Susan to the house of Derek's mother who bitterly blurts out her wish that Derek had married one of the two women, rather than being ‘open-handed’ and giving himself to both of them. Susan stays silent. Later that evening, Susan confesses her ‘wickedness’ in having persuaded Derek to be unfaithful to Ellen. She talks guiltily of the happy times they had had walking in the countryside, with Derek gradually opening up and becoming happier, as if emerging from a prison.

Susan fearfully tells Ellen of the ‘wicked wish’ she had made one day when they had visited the holed stone together, that Derek and Ellen should never marry: a wish that came true. But instead of angrily rejecting Susan, as she had expected, Ellen tells her that she is happy to hear that Derek did not remain shut up in himself, even for a short while. Ellen realises her hopes and visions for Derek had come alive, and she tells Susan that she too had made a wish on the stone that had come true. She invites Susan to join her in Tintagel.

Fifteen members and associates of the Justice Society—Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Flash, Green Lantern, Sandman, Sandy, Starman, Dr. Mid-Nite, Dr. Fate, Atom, Johnny Thunder, Hourman, Wildcat, Power Girl, and Star-Spangled Kid—are gathered for a private memorial service for the Robin and Huntress of Earth-Two, who had recently been killed in the Crisis. Feeling redundant in a world filled with younger heroes, the JSA is about to officially disband, when suddenly The Spectre appears to them, apparently fatally wounded despite being a ghost. In an instant of psychic communion, he puts a message into Dr. Fate's head, and then dissipates. Dr. Fate then psychically shares this information with all the others, and elaborates as he casts a spell to transport them all through time and space to Berlin on April 15, 1945.

The message was that, while The Spectre was lying unconscious in the cosmic void in the aftermath of the Crisis, his unchecked energy had reached out in space and time, making contact with the Spear of Destiny in 1945 while Adolf Hitler was trying to use it to bring about the end of the world. The Spectre's power, added to that of the Spear, enabled it to bring about Hitler's "Twilight of the Gods", destroying the Earth and the universe, and fatally wounding The Spectre in the process. He'd managed to reach the modern-day JSA and warn them of this disaster just before the altered past caught up with the present.

The heroes arrive at their destination just in time to see Hitler start his spell, opening a whirling hole in the sky. The JSA fly up through the hole and find themselves in the realm of Asgard, home of the Norse/Teutonic Gods, who are about to fight their final battle (i.e., Ragnarök). To prevent the Norse Gods from losing, and thus prevent the destruction of the Earth, Dr. Fate uses his magic to physically merge the other heroes with the Gods, adding to their might and willpower. Many of the heroes/Gods are killed in the battle, but the remaining ones fight on, determined to change its predetermined outcome.

During the battle, days pass on Earth; Hitler's spell fails, Germany is defeated by the Allies, and Hitler and Eva Braun commit suicide.

The heroes defeat almost all of the enemy, but they still have to beat Surtur, the fire-giant who's determined to burn away all life on the battlefield (and also the Earth). Due to the non-linear nature of time in the Asgardian realm, Dr. Fate is able to bring the slain heroes back to life, and together they fight and kill Surtur. However, because Ragnarök is a never-ending battle, the battle starts all over again, and the heroes must re-fight it forever to prevent the end of the world. Dr. Fate sends Power Girl and the Star-Spangled Kid back home against their will, saying the young must sometimes be spared the fate of the old; Fate then prepares to enter the eternal battle alongside his comrades, when The Spectre—apparently fully healed—stops him, saying that Fate's magic is needed to eternally sustain the other heroes. Against his will, Fate is sent back home by The Spectre, who says that he himself has been called home by his Master.

Dr. Fate finds himself back at the site of the memorial service along with Power Girl and Star-Spangled Kid. Seven members of Infinity, Inc. are also present, having shown up late for the service, and Fate psychically shows them everything that has happened. They walk away, along with Power Girl and the Star-Spangled Kid, to grieve for the loss of their families and allies, leaving only Dr. Fate behind. Lying at his feet are chessmen shaped like the eternally-battling heroes.

With the help of unscrupulous driver Sampaio (Marcello Novaes), she returns only to discover the secrets of the source wealth. She will also be the great impediment of Luz and Gabriel's affair, since she was destined to flee from bankruptcy by marrying her son with Laura, daughter of the powerful Olavo (Tony Ramos), who was willing to merge the companies of the two families and now swears to destroy the shrew.

Also returning to the city is Neide (Viviane Araújo), Luz's mother who fled after she was born.

The film tells the story of the first Hungarian Academy Award winner, Michael Curtiz (originally known as Mihály Kertész), who won the Best Director Oscar for Casablanca, a romantic film that film critics consider to be one of the best in film history. Curtiz, who is credited with nearly 200 films, was a highly controversial, aggressive, womanizing, selfish, violent and crude personality.Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film (Screen Classics) --- 2017

https://www.amazon.com/Michael-Curtiz-Life-Screen-Classics/dp/0813173914

The film about him (the original full Hungarian title is ''Curtiz – A magyar, aki felforgatta Hollywoodot'') was originally made as a TV movie. Its story takes place in 1942, during the filming of Casablanca, when the Japanese had destroyed Pearl Harbor, the Germans had already started bombing the British, and the United States was moments away from entering World War II. Curtiz, meanwhile, could not decide how to finish Casablanca, rewriting the script over and over again as the shooting neared.  To make matters worse, to promote war propaganda as much as possible, the state authorities appoint a political official to supervise the film in progress, who tries to pressure Curtiz into making changes to the storyline. In defiance of these political interventions, Curtiz is determined to make his film a success, but he also faces serious family tensions during the shoot. The endangerment of his sister, who has stayed in Hungary, and his troubled relationship with his daughter, who has emerged after a long period of absence, take unexpected turns during the filming of the movie.

The story of the film is based on real events, with dramatized elements.  The filmmakers have created the film with the help of a wealth of anecdotes and memoirs. Screenwriter Zsuzsanna Bak said that the story of the film covers 85 percent of the original events.

''Dance!'' Tells the story of four women from three different generations. First is Grandma Estela Redondo (Mónica Galán), a great retired dancer and owner of her own dance academy. Then, Laura "Pekas" Redondo (Isabel Macedo), Estela's daughter, a female fighter, and a recognized choreographer with two ex-husbands: Ricardo Gutiérrez (Juan Gil Navarro) and Jimmy Pereyra (Maximiliano Ghione). Finally, Miranda (Justina Bustos), daughter of Laura and Ricardo, talented singer and dancer, and Gala (Eva De Dominici), daughter of Laura and Jimmy, a sure girl who always achieves what He wants and demonstrates his passion for dancing. The story begins when the Redondo prepares for the auditions of the Estela dance academy. Laura would be a jury, and the two girls would audition, as would many more boys to be part of the academy. Gala and Miranda audition and are chosen because of their great talent and different dance styles, Miranda dances classical, and Gala dances modern. When Gala goes to the academy, she meets a boy who climbed to the fence of the same. This boy is Ramiro (Gonzalo de Cuadro), a talented dancer who had never had the opportunity to show his talent because from a very young age his parents abandoned him and had to be part of a group of orphaned boy gatherers called "Los Desechos" , led by Violeta (Chachi Telesco). Gala offers Ramiro a scholarship at her grandmother's academy and from that moment they become best friends. Renata (Thelma Fardin), who is also a member of "Los Desechos", does not like it at all, since Ramiro had been her best friend all her life and everything had changed with Gala's arrival in their lives. At first Renata judges Gala but after meeting her she realizes she is a great girl and they become great friends. In the academy, everything is revolutionized by the news that the work of Broadway "Hacia adelante" would be carried out with the direction of Estela, and that the dancers who would be part of this venture would be the students of the academy. From that news begin the auditions for the work. Miranda's group, formed by her friends Ciro ( ), Lucía (Julia Middleton) and Clara (Giselle Motta). It remains in the play after the second audition. The same happens with the Gala group, formed by Ramiro (Gonzalo de Cuadro), Vicky (Jimena Sabaris), Federico (Diego Viquez), Martu (Julieta Bartolomé), Matías (Ezequiel Rojo) and Lucas (Gabriel Segredo). From the first moment they begin to see couples in ''Dance!''. During the first chapters, Laura maintains a relationship with Manuel (Francisco Andrade), a student of the academy who is also quite younger than her, but then leaves because he does not feel comfortable being in a relationship with a boy who is almost the age of their daughters. On the other hand, Miranda is bridal with Javier (Rodrigo Raffeto), a boy who works as his father's right hand in the game. Gala, on a visit to his dad's bar, intersects with Nacho (Augusto Schuster) and falls in love with him immediately. Jimmy asks Nacho to infiltrate the academy and take care of his daughter at times when he cannot. Nacho accepts but eventually he falls in love with Gala. This is a problem for him because falling in love with her would be like letting Jimmy down, so he invents Gala that he cannot be with her because he is gay and his partner is Lucas. After a while Nacho and Lucas end this lie by saying that they had "separated." On the other hand, Renata, who was dating Federico, decides to leave because Federico was embarrassed to introduce Renata to her family. When he leaves, Renata begins to approach Lucas, and Federico Martu, which he uses as a screen so that his parents do not suspect that he is in love with Renata. In the end, Fede and Renata return because they realize they cannot be separated and Fede faces his parents. Gala tries to forget Nacho with the arrival of Teo (Francisco Donavan) in his life, a boy who has just lost his mother and his plans are to approach Gala to reach Jimmy for some reason that we do not know. Teo is closer to Miranda than Gala since with Miranda they share the greatest passion of their lives: music. This does not like either Gala or Javier, since they suspect that between them there is something more than a friendship, although Miranda denies it even to herself. Estela discovers that she has a disease that if not treated in time could be terminal. She decides to hide it from everyone, but despite this Gabe (Mirella Pascual) finds out, her best friend of a lifetime, who lives in the house of the Redondo.

In continuation from the previous episode, the demonic monster ManBearPig (a creature first referenced in the episode of the same name) continues his rampage through the town of South Park, brutally murdering and consuming citizens in broad daylight. Stan Marsh and his friends Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick are in a jail, having been arrested by Sergeant Yates, who believes that the recent murders were the result of school shootings perpetrated by the four boys. Exploiting their guard's obsession with the video game ''Red Dead Redemption 2'' (a pastime popular among the townsfolk that serves as a recurring reference throughout the two-episode story), Stan and his friends escape jail. When Stan learns that his grandfather, Grampa Marsh, has been talking about ManBearPig since Randy was 14, Stan confronts him. Grampa Marsh reveals that when he and his friends were young and foolish, and South Park was a smaller town, they made a deal with ManBearPig for luxurious things like expensive cars and premium boutique ice cream, not thinking about the future, or what this would mean for their grandchildren.

Sergeant Yates continues to deny the existence of ManBearPig, insisting that the gruesome crimes are the result of school shootings. Stan and his friends reconvene in the woods with their allies, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and Satan, whom the group summoned in the previous episode, to inform them of ManBearPig's origin. After contending with the haughty and self-satisfied Gore's continued self-aggrandizement, Cartman convinces Satan that it is time that he did something for the people of South Park, who lately have been doing a lot of his work for him. Satan confronts ManBearPig in a furiously violent brawl in the middle of town, but is fatally beaten, and ascends to heaven as an angel.

Grandpa Marsh takes refuge with Stan and his friends at South Park Elementary, where they are again surrounded by the police. However, Sergeant Yates appears and admits that he has been a fool by denying ManBearPig's existence, and did not realize this until he saw the effect that his stubbornness had on his marriage. Yates muses that it is never too late to do the right thing, and ask Stan and his friends if they know what that is. Stan says that they do, and will put an end to the deal once and for all. He and his friends are given power of attorney to represent the town, and enter sit-down negotiations with ManBearPig and his attorney to void their prior deal. ManBearPig agrees to leave the town and never return in exchange for compensation, including the town's agreement to give up soy sauce and ''Red Dead Redemption 2'', but the town's reluctance to do this leads to continued negotiations, and increased demands by ManBearPig.

Many tactical role playing games were set in medieval settings, while Wachenröder is instead set in the Victorian era. The setting has been described as "steampunk".

The story takes place in a dark future on the island Edward, which is ruled by the noble and magnanimous King Wizar (who is imprisoned by the evil prime minister Vlad at the time which the game begins). In this alternate history, steam power is very sophisticated and the people hold it dear: vehicles, gadgetry or weapons are driven by vapor in place of electricity. This links ''Wachenröder'', based on its contents and its overall design, to the steampunk genre.

Since the building of several wastewater treatment plants for the rich upper class, the citizens of Edoalds suffer more and more from diseases caused by hazardous waste and contaminated drinking water.

The Thirteenth Doctor and her companions arrive in present-day Norway, materialising near a cabin. They meet its sole occupant, a blind teen named Hanne who moved to the cabin with her father Erik following the death of her mother Trine. Her father has since disappeared, with Hanne unable to search for him because she keeps hearing a creature outside the cabin every day. Upstairs, the group discover a bedroom mirror with no reflection, revealed to be a portal. While the Doctor, Graham and Yasmin enter it, Ryan remains behind with Hanne. Upon finding speakers around the house aimed at keeping her inside, Ryan's discovery prompts Hanne to knock him out and enter the portal.

The Doctor and the others find themselves in the Antizone, a buffer-space between universes to prevent catastrophic damage. They briefly encounter Ribbons, a deceptive alien who guides them through the zone only to become prey for flesh-eating moths when attempting to take the Doctor's sonic screwdriver. The others evade them by entering another portal, finding themselves within a reflected parallel universe, whereupon they encounter Erik talking with Trine, despite her being dead. At the same time, Graham finds himself encountering his own dead wife, Grace. The Doctor deduces that they are encountering the Solitract, a sentient entity whose incompatibility with the universe led to its exile, becoming a universe seeking companionship. Hanne arrives and immediately recognizes the Solitract version of Trine as an impostor before being ejected back to the Antizone.

The Doctor realizes that the Solitract is collapsing in on itself due to the group's presence. She then manages to get everyone out while convincing the Solitract to keep her instead of Erik by offering it her vast experience. The Solitract accepts the offer and ejects Erik, bringing the Doctor to a room within a white space. Despite her enthusiasm at the prospect of speaking to a sentient universe, as the Solitract assumes the form of a talking frog with Grace's voice, the Doctor explains she cannot stay as they are unable to co-exist. The Solitract releases her at her request, allowing her to make her way back through the Antizone before the portals collapse. After the adventure, Erik decides to return to Oslo with Hanne, while Ryan bonds with Graham and calls him "grandad" for the first time.

Continuity

During the episode, Yasmin makes a suggestion to the Doctor to "reverse the polarity". This is a reference to a recurring phrase used by the Third Doctor during his stories in the original series. <!--

The Thirteenth Doctor directs the TARDIS to a planet called Ranskoor Av Kolos, where a large number of distress signals are originating. The Doctor and her companions find a large number of wrecked spaceships scattered on the planet's surface, as well as a psychic field that alters one's perception of reality. They come across an amnesiac pilot named Paltraki and help him regain his memories before he receives a video signal from Tzim-Sha. Tzim-Sha demands Paltraki return an item – seemingly a rock floating in a protective shell – to him in exchange for Paltraki's kidnapped crew. Graham later confesses to the Doctor his intent to kill Tzim-Sha to avenge his murdered wife Grace, accepting that he could never travel with the Doctor again should he survive.

Once the group enters Tzim-Sha's ship, Graham and Ryan search for the kidnapped crew whilst Yasmin helps Paltraki remember his mission. The Doctor encounters Tzim-Sha, learning that he ended up on Ranskoor Av Kolos after their previous encounter on Earth, having won the loyalty of the religious-minded Ux, a race of two that can psychically manipulate reality. Tzim-Sha spends the next three millennia combining the Uxs' powers with Stenza technology to create a life support system and a weapon that shrinks planets like the one from Paltraki's ship. Yasmin and Paltraki discover four similar planets, the latter remembering his mission to save the planets Tzim-Sha took alongside a fleet that the Stenza devastated. Tzim-Sha then sets his sights to do the same to Earth out of revenge, ignoring the Doctor's warning that his actions threaten the fabric of reality.

The Doctor reaches Yasmin and safely stops the Ux from shrinking Earth, convincing them that Tzim-Sha exploited them while asking their help. The Doctor works with the Ux to use the TARDIS and Tzim-Sha's ship to restore the planets to their original positions in space. Meanwhile, Graham and Ryan free Paltraki's crew along with the other ships' crews. This alerts Tzim-Sha as he enters his trophy room, finding Graham waiting to shoot him. But Graham manages to hold back, before Ryan's arrival provokes him to shoot Tzim-Sha in the foot to save his grandson. They trap Tzim-Sha in a stasis chamber, telling him to reflect on his actions, including Grace's death. With Tzim-Sha's ship sealed, the Ux leave with Paltraki to help return the surviving crew members to their proper worlds.

Continuity

The Doctor mentions using the TARDIS to drag a planet across the universe, a reference to the Tenth Doctor returning the Earth to its proper place in "Journey's End", and to rebirth a Slitheen as an egg, which the Ninth Doctor did in "Boom Town".

Standing outside the Mystery Machine, Velma introduces each member of Mystery Inc. and explains that she is documenting one of their new mysteries.

The footage cuts to the gang's interviews with locals of Casper County, each describing the monster reported to be haunting the woods. Reviewing the information, Velma points out how all the stories are different and thus do not add up. Scooby mentions that he does not like giant cats, leading Daphne to squabble with him over his speech pattern, as she interprets his statement as being about rats. The final interview presented is with an elderly woman who warns them not to go near the woods.

Arriving at the Casper County Woods, Shaggy tells Velma that the woods look more "realistic" and different from their regular woods making him uneasy. Scooby echoes this sentiment, although Fred calms them down, insisting they will have fun, and that it is his turn to unmask the villain. Entering the woods, the gang bids farewell to the Mystery Machine, with Shaggy pointing out that they always solve mysteries at night. When they arrive at the cemetery inside of the woods, the place where the county's curse began, Shaggy is horrified to learn that they will be sleeping nearby. Velma proceeds to explain the curse, but is drowned out by Shaggy and Scooby.

Cutting to the next day, it is revealed that the gang has had an offscreen encounter with the monster in the woods. Velma remarks they have been walking forever to find whoever, or whatever, was trying to scare them. Daphne voices her belief that the monster is a farmer, possibly even the one they had interviewed earlier. She then accuses Velma of irritating him with her camera, to which Velma defends herself, saying she just wanted to make a visual record of their adventure. Daphne points out that all they have done is gotten lost, lived off of the land, and used Scooby for a blanket. Shaggy claims he does not want to sleep outside again, as sleeping against a gravestone hurt his back, to which Scooby agrees.

An irritated Velma asks Fred if he has any ideas, to which he suggests she turn off the camera so they can put up a tent. The footage cuts to later that night, as Velma struggles to put up the tent while filming, not wanting to miss anything. Fred remarks that it would be easier to put up the tent without filming, and the rest of the gang loudly tell her to turn it off. Once the gang has crammed themselves into the single tent, tensions begin to rise. Fred and Daphne pull out sleeping bags, to which Shaggy replies he only has a rock for a pillow. Daphne asks who left snack crumbs in her sleeping bag and accuses Scooby, who in turn accuses Shaggy. Shaggy points the finger at Fred, who is implied to be the culprit, as he then blames Daphne herself, who asks why she would complain if she herself was the culprit. Shaggy accidentally hits Velma with his feet, to which she replies to watch it, and Daphne tells him to take off his shoes, quickly changing her mind once she smells his feet.

The footage cuts to Shaggy telling Scooby about all of the food he would take on a trip to the moon, though Scooby falls asleep. It then cuts to Velma telling a ghost story, though Shaggy interrupts and tells her they were all there, as she is retelling one of their old cases. She then sheepishly turns off her flashlight.

Velma wakes up in the middle of the night to find the tent wide open and goes outside to investigate. She is horrified to find their backpacks have been broken into and all of their food is missing, until she discovers Scooby eating it nearby. Velma wakes up again later to a sound outside the tent which also wakes Daphne. She shouts for Fred, who wakes up from a dream about her. Velma asks if the noise is Scooby again, only to hear Scrappy-Doo yell "Puppy power!" as a response. This sends the entire gang scrambling out of the tent, and into the woods.

After catching their breath, Daphne reprimands Scooby after her stockings get torn, as she does not have another pair. Fred tells them he hears it again, and Scrappy begins asking for his "Uncle Scooby". Fred has the gang turn their flashlights off and Velma questions what Scrappy is doing there. Shaggy asks if Scooby invited him, which Scooby denies. Velma remarks that he is probably there to solve the mystery for them, as he loves doing this, only to be shushed by Fred. They turn the flashlights back on after hearing footsteps, only to find themselves face-to-face with Scrappy.

Back in their tent, the gang hears more noises and Fred suggests splitting up to search. Shaggy vehemently refuses and Daphne begs anyone to go outside for a Scooby Snack. As the monster begins shaking the tent, Fred asks Shaggy and Scooby to dress up like surgeons and tie the monster to an operating table, though Shaggy says he cannot as they are in the woods.

Once convinced to look for the monster, Shaggy and Scooby head to the cemetery where they discuss Hawaiian pizza. Scooby grips onto Shaggy's leg after hearing the monster, and upon letting go, they actually see the monster run across the headstones. The gang desperately and frantically call for Scooby, though he is discovered only a short distance behind them.

The next morning, Velma finds weird piles of Scooby Snacks outside of the tent, and Shaggy claims even he would not touch them as they must be haunted. It is heavily implied, however, that Scooby is the one who piled them up just to scare Shaggy, after receiving access to the snacks.

Velma tries to interpret the map, but Daphne calls her out for failing to do so for the past two hours. Fred claims their destination should be nearby and Daphne complains about her feet hurting, to which Velma calls her out for wearing heels in the forest. Daphne snaps back that at least she tries to look feminine, which stuns Velma into silence. Once again trying to interpret the map later, Velma has it taken away by Fred, while Shaggy and Scooby exclaim that they want to go home.

Fred gets excited when he discovers a trail of footprints in the cemetery, exclaiming the monster must have ten legs, though Velma anguishes over the fact that they are actually the gang's footprints, making Shaggy and Scooby freak out at the fact that they have gone around in a large circle. Fred and Velma begin arguing over who had the map, with both saying the other had it last, but Shaggy and Scooby reveal they ate the map with Tabasco sauce due to it being useless to them. Trying to retrace their steps by studying their footprints, Fred tells everyone to remain calm. Velma points out she is calmer than him, and it is revealed Fred is in the middle of a mental breakdown.

The footage cuts to night, where Fred reveals they have been trapped in the forest for a week, and have not unmasked a villain. Later, Shaggy and Velma get into an argument over their catchphrases as she asks him what "Zoinks" even means, to which he replies "I'm sorry, what do you want me to say? 'Jinkies'?".

In the next segment, Fred denies Velma's suggestion that he is scared, replying that there must be a perfectly logical explanation for all that has happened. They soon find more piles of Scooby Snacks and, despite Daphne insisting against it, Shaggy and Scooby taste them. Shaggy screams in terror, only for it to be revealed that it is due to the Scooby Snacks being stale.

A while later, Velma loses her glasses, to which Fred loses his patience, yelling at her to get a glasses strap. When she requests assistance in finding her glasses, Fred goes on a rant about her wanting them to find her glasses instead of finding them herself, while pointing the camera at her glasses. Shaggy comes to Velma's defense, stating she is blind as a bat, to which Fred fires back that it is nighttime, meaning visibility is reduced for all of them. By this point it is revealed that Velma has wandered off and that Daphne has gone to look for her.

Daphne breaks down in front of Velma, telling her they have no food, no clean clothes and that she has not painted her nails in two days. Velma shushes her a they hear the monster shrieking in the forest. After another encounter with Scrappy, Velma chases after Daphne, who has gone running blindly into the forest. Even when Velma explains to Daphne that it is just Scrappy, Daphne does not stop, and implies that he is the reason she is running. Daphne and Fred both begin to unravel once Daphne rips both her dress and her other stocking, as well as breaking a nail, while Fred discovers he has lost his favorite ascot.

The gang tracks the monster's noises to a haunted-looking house in the middle of the forest, and go inside to ask for help. Finding a radio, Velma decides to see if they are on the news and switches it on, only for "Seven Days a Week" to start playing. Shaggy exclaims in horror that they always get chased when music is playing, at which point the zombie appears and chases them upstairs. Reaching a hallway, Velma says she hates the part with the doors and stands to the side, filming as the monster chases the others back and forth, from door to door. The monster then pops up directly in front of Velma, chasing her down into the basement, where Shaggy is standing in a corner, facing the wall out of fright. Suddenly, the monster charges at Velma and the screen cuts to black.

Attempting to deescalate the situation, Milo tells Casper that the group he leads consists of recovering serial killers who try to subdue their urge to kill through his leadership. He does not wish to kill Casper and Iris, and offers to buy them off with the intention really being to drug the two and have them arrested, thereby keeping suspicion away from the group.

Downstairs, Alexis secretly tells Iris that she intends to help them escape, but they are found by Cameron and Jeremy, who attack them. Casper holds the rest of the group at gunpoint and forces them downstairs, where they witness Jeremy attempting to strangle Iris, with Elliot disarming Casper. Enraged, Milo beats Jeremy to death, but is shot by Patrick, who intends to kill Iris and Casper, much to the dismay of Roxanne. Alexis manages to hide Iris and Casper in a secret room, which contains photos of the group's members and a sealed off chamber. Seeing his daughter's betrayal over the security cameras, Patrick uses the home's intercom system to play a music box tune which awakens Mikey, the Dawson's "dog," who is in the sealed chamber. Mikey bursts out of his chamber and attacks Iris and Casper. He kills Iris by biting off her face, but he himself is finally killed by a katana-wielding Casper.

Patrick resets the security system, opening the shutters. Seeing their chance to escape, Alexis and Casper flee the room, but are confronted by Patrick. He attempts to kill Casper, but is disemboweled. The two flee outside and are again confronted by Cameron, wielding a chainsaw. Casper severs Cameron's foot and the chainsaw falls on Cameron, eviscerating and killing him. The two are then knocked out by Elliot, who ties them to chairs suspended over the Dawson's pool. Elliot order Casper and Alexis to cut ropes that will drop the other person's chair into the pool. Alexis cuts Casper's rope, but she is knocked into the pool by Elliot. Watching them, Elliot is surprised by Roxanne, who stabs him and rescues Casper and Alexis. A still-alive Elliot emerges from the pool, but is finally killed by Alexis.

Not wanting to cause anymore harm, Roxanne gives Casper $100,000 and one of their sports cars, who takes off while Roxanne and Alexis clean up their house. Casper drives straight to Emory's club and slaughters the security guarding it. Casper confronts Emory and slices the top his head off, killing him, all in view of his father. Casper looks at his shocked father and drops the katana.

The story begins in Ciudad Jimenez, Mexico. There, Miguel's parents, Roberto and Lucía Garza, die as a result of an attempt against them; but he and his brother and sister survive. After this, the capo Lamberto Garza decides to protect his grandchildren and sends Miguel to study outside of Mexico and turn him into a successful businessman, while he sends Chisca (Cassandra Sánchez Navarro) to a boarding school in Spain and he keeps Jorge (Juan Pablo Gil) by his side at the ranch where he lives and from where he controls the largest drug transport in the region of Mexico.

20 years later, Miguel lives completely calm in Japan, with his girlfriend Asya, whom he loves deeply. And on top of that he is a successful financier. But suddenly he receives a call from Dora, the wife of his grandfather Lamberto, in which she tells him that he must travel to Mexico soon as it is a matter of life or death. Upon returning to Ciudad Jimenez, Mexico, Miguel realizes that his grandfather suffers from Alzheimer's disease and that he is very weak in heart. Following this, Lamberto makes Miguel see that he must take care of the family business, and not only that, that he has 24 hours to decide whether or not to accept the position as head of the family cartel. Miguel without so many complaints, decides to accept the position as the new leader of the cartel of his family, but he does not pretend to be a drug dealer, on the contrary he accepts the position as a challenge, since he thinks that he can turn the family business into something else, such as for example in making money circulate around the world to make large legal financial investments.

But something that makes him make the final decision to accept such a position, is his wife Asya, who decides to commit suicide upon learning that she suffers from a terminal illness. Miguel will live a terrible duel and close the doors of his heart forever. Or so he will believe until he meets Adela (Renata Notni), the cheerful and selfless taxi driver, the only woman after Asya who will really know him and that far from being impressed by his possessions or tycoon image, will challenge him to look in the mirror and decide who he really is. Now Miguel must make everyone adapt his own rules, since he is not accustomed to the world of the mafia and the narcos, thanks to Japanese culture, he knows how to fight like a samurai warrior, heal wounds with ancient millenary techniques and speak several languages. Everything moves too far away from what is the current Mexico, the place where Miguel intends to meet his siblings again, but in his journey he will be kidnapped in Colombia, he will face terrible Russian cartels, he will have to dodge the attacks of the powerful Italian mafia, avoid being caught by the gringos, and come to the power of the Japanese Yakuza.

The events of the story take place in the early 1920s, in a Hutsul village on the Polish-Romanian border in Pokuttia. Olga, a priest’s daughter, before her father died, makes him promise to marry his friend Martyn Pogodniak, a Polish officer of the local border outpost. However, later she falls in love with the «noble robber» Ivan Semeniuk.

Maya Deren's character sits in a room with string wrapped around her hands in a manner reminiscent of cat's cradle. Rita Christiani is drawn to Deren and begins winding the string into a ball. Close-up and slow motion highlight the intense feeling on Deren's face as she talks and moves her hands up and down, performing the first of the rituals in the film. Anaïs Nin looks upon the scene scornfully. Christiani finishes winding the string, Deren disappears, and Christiani walks through the doorway Nin is standing in.

Christiani is now wearing a black outfit with a veil and a cross necklace. A room full of people interact through expressive, dance-like movements. As they approach Christiani, she avoids them with graceful movements. Many shots and actions are repeated as she makes her way across the room. She looks around intently to find someone and spots Frank Westbrook. The two meet and he almost kisses her on the cheek.

Westbrook and Christiani dance together outdoors. He begins to dance with some other women and she leaves, looking back over her shoulder several times; one of these times, she is replaced by Deren. Christiani comes upon Westbrook posing atop a pedestal as a statue. She approaches, he moves, and she takes a step back. He moves again and she runs away. Westbrook slowly chases after her in long, leaping strides. He catches her. Deren runs underneath a pier into the ocean. She wades further and further into the water. The film switches to a negative image as she sinks down into the water. Christiani lifts the black mourning veil she was wearing at the party, but, since it is a negative image, it looks like a white bridal veil.

The protagonist of Rabee Jaber’s novel is Saman Yarid, a 40-year-old architect living in East Beirut in late 2005, who, like many of his fellow Lebanese citizens, is greatly anticipating the release of the Mehlis Report on October 21, 2005. The narrator of the book is Josephine Yarid, Saman’s sister who was kidnapped in 1983 and is now watching over Saman from the afterlife as he walks around Beirut. For a few chapters, Josephine takes the reader away from Saman and focuses on what the afterworld is like. Although the Mehlis Report is all that anyone talks about, Saman never learns who Detlev Mehlis blames for the assassination of Hariri because Saman has a heart attack on October 20, 2005. Throughout the book, Saman reminisces about Beirut before warfare and explosions devastated the city, when his family and friends still lived there. Throughout the book, Saman and his girlfriend, Cecilia, discuss how different aspects of society have transformed.

The book is structured so that the reader constantly wonders what is going on, while slowly revealing information. The reader finds out who the narrator is on page 131, when she says her name is Josephine, Saman’s sister. The reader also does not know who Mehlis is until page 24 in the book, when Saman tells Mary that “there’s an international commission investigating things […with…] German prosecutor Detlev Mehlis […] presenting his report to the UN in just a few days.” The reader learns later in the book that Mehlis is conducting the UN's second investigation into the Hariri assassination because the first was led by Irish UN delegate Peter FitzGerald, Irish commissioner and author of the FitzGerald Report on assassination of Rafic Hariri]].

Synopsis

''Troilus and Cressida'' is set during the later years of the Trojan War, faithfully following the plotline of the ''Iliad'' from Achilles' refusal to participate in battle to Hector's death. Essentially, two plots are followed in the play. In one, Troilus, a Trojan prince (son of Priam), woos Cressida, another Trojan. They profess their undying love, before Cressida is exchanged for a Trojan prisoner of war. As he attempts to visit her in the Greek camp, Troilus glimpses Diomedes flirting with his beloved Cressida, and decides to avenge her perfidy.

While this plot gives the play its name, it accounts for only a small part of the play's run time. The majority of the play revolves around the leaders of the Greek and Trojan forces, Agamemnon and Priam, respectively. Agamemnon and his cohorts attempt to get the proud Achilles to return to battle and face Hector, who sends the Greeks a letter telling them of his willingness to engage in one-on-one combat with a Greek soldier. Ajax is originally chosen as this combatant, but makes peace with Hector before they are able to fight. Achilles is prompted to return to battle only after his protege Patroclus is killed by Hector before the Trojan walls. A series of skirmishes conclude the play, during which Achilles catches Hector and has the Myrmidons kill him. The conquest of Troy is left unfinished, as the Trojans learn of the death of their hero.

Act 1

Scene 1

The play opens with a Prologue, an actor dressed as a soldier, who gives us the background to the plot, which takes place during the Trojan War. Immortalized in Greek mythology and Homer's ''Iliad'', the war occurs because a Trojan prince, Paris, has stolen the beautiful Helen from her husband, King Menelaus of Sparta, and carries her home to Troy with him. In response, Menelaus gathers his fellow Greek kings, and they sail to Troy hoping to capture the city and reclaim Helen.

Within the walls of Troy, Prince Troilus complains to Pandarus that he is unable to fight because of heartache; he is desperately in love with Pandarus's niece, Cressida. Pandarus complains that he has been doing his best to further Troilus's pursuit of his niece, and that he has received small thanks for his labors. After he departs, Troilus remarks that Pandarus has been growing irritable lately. As he ponders, the Trojan commander Aeneas comes in, bringing news that Paris has been wounded in combat with Menelaus. As the noise of battle comes in offstage, Troilus agrees to join his Trojan comrades on the field.

Scene 2

In another part of the city, Cressida converses with her servant, who recounts how a Greek warrior named Ajax, a valiant but stupid man, managed to overcome the great Trojan prince Hector the previous day, and that Hector is fighting furiously because of this defeat. Cressida is joined by Pandarus, and they discuss the Trojan princes, with Pandarus taking the unlikely position that Troilus is a greater man than Hector. As they converse, several Trojan lords pass by them returning from battle, including Antenor, Aeneas, Hector, and Paris; Pandarus praises each one, but tells his niece that none of them can match Troilus. He then leaves Cressida, promising to bring a token from Troilus. Alone, Cressida says that while she returns Troilus's feelings, she is holding him off; she is enjoying his pursuit of her.

Scene 3

In the Greek camp, the great general and king Agamemnon is conversing with his lieutenants and fellow kings. He asks why they seem so glum and downcast for although their seven-year siege of Troy has met little success so far, they should welcome the adversity that the long war represents, since only in difficult times can greatness emerge. Nestor, the oldest of the Greek commanders, cites examples of how heroism emerges from hardship. In response, Ulysses expresses his deep respect for what they have said, but points out that the Greek army is facing a crisis not because of the duration of the war, but because of a breakdown in authority within the Greek camp. Instead of being united, they are divided into factions: Achilles refuses to fight, and instead sits in his tent while his boyfriend Patroclus makes fun of the Greek commanders; others, like Ajax and his foul-mouthed slave Thersites, follow this example, and so the entire army is corrupted. The others agree that this is a great problem, and as they discuss what is to be done, Aeneas appears under a flag of truce, bringing a challenge from Hector. The Trojan prince offers to fight any Greek lord in single combat, with the honour of their respective wives as the issue. The Greeks agree to find a champion and offer Aeneas hospitality. As Aeneas is led away, Ulysses tells Nestor that this challenge is truly directed at Achilles, since only Achilles could match the great Hector in battle. But to have Achilles fight Hector would be dangerous, because if Achilles lost, it would dishearten the entire army. Therefore, Ulysses suggests, they should have Ajax fight Hector instead; even if Ajax loses, they can still claim that Achilles would have won in his place. At the same time, by choosing Ajax as their champion, they will infuriate Achilles and perhaps goad him into rejoining the war, bringing with him all his soldiers. Nestor, impressed with Ulysses's intelligence, agrees to the plan.

Act 2

Scene 1

In the Greek camp, Ajax summons his slave, Thersites, and orders him to find out the nature of the proclamation that has just been posted. Thersites, a foul-mouthed ruffian, refuses to obey and instead curses his master and the Greeks with equal vigor, provoking Ajax to beat him. Achilles and Patroclus come upon them and he includes them in his curses. Offended at Patroclus' request he stop, he replies "I will hold my peace when Achilles' brooch bids me, shall I?", the term "in the 16th century meant, among other things, a 'pointed rod, spit or pricker,'" implying that Achilles and Patroclus were lovers and further demeaning Achilles' masculinity. They send him away, and Achilles tells Ajax the news of Hector's challenge to any brave Greek warrior. The selection of the warrior has been put to a lottery otherwise, Achilles says as he leaves, he would have been the only possible choice, a remark that produces a sneer from Ajax.

Scene 2

In Troy, King Priam and his sons debate the wisdom of continuing the war, when they can end it by returning Helen to the Greeks. Hector, supported by his brother Helenus, argues eloquently that while the theft of Helen may have been a brave act, she cannot be worth the great and bloody price they are paying to keep her. When he is done speaking, his sister Cassandra, a prophetess who is considered mad, dashes in and cries that if they do not let Helen go, Troy will burn. When she is gone, Troilus dismisses her warning as ravings, and argues that they must keep Helen for the sake of their honor and Paris supports him. Hector retorts that this is why young men cannot be trusted to make moral decisions, since passion overwhelms their reason. But Troilus says that Helen is more than a woman, she is a theme of honour and renown, and Hector yields and agrees to continue the war. He goes on to report the challenge that has been sent out to the Greeks, and how he hopes it will bring Achilles to the field.

Scene 3

Alone, Thersites sneers at the pretensions of both Ajax and Achilles. When Patroclus and Achilles appear, he calls them fools; Patroclus moves to strike him, but Achilles holds him off. They see the Greek commanders Agamemnon, Ulysses, Nestor, and Diomedes approaching, accompanied by Ajax, and Achilles quickly retires to his tent. When Agamemnon asks to see him, Patroclus tells the general that Achilles is ill. Agamemnon grows angry, but Achilles refuses to emerge, and tells Ulysses, who goes in to see him, that he still refuses to fight the Trojans. Agamemnon suggests that Ajax go in and plead with Achilles, but Ulysses declares that doing so would be insulting to Ajax, and then he, with the other Greek commanders, praises Ajax profusely, saying that he is the best of their warriors. They agree to leave Achilles in his tent, and decide that Ajax will be their champion against Hector the next day.

Act 3

Scene 1

In Troy, Pandarus converses with a servant while he waits to speak with Paris and Helen. When they come in, he compliments Helen profusely, and asks her to excuse Troilus if Priam asks about him at dinner that night. Paris and Helen ask where Troilus will be dining, and Pandarus refuses to tell him but they both guess that he will be in pursuit of Cressida, and they make bawdy jokes about it as they depart to greet the returning warriors.

Scene 2

Pandarus finds Troilus pacing about impatiently in an orchard, and assures him that his desire for Cressida will soon be satisfied. He goes out, leaving Troilus giddy with expectation, and brings in Cressida; after urging them to embrace, Pandarus departs. Left alone, they profess their love for one another, and each pledges to be faithful to the other. He reassures her and again pledges to be faithful, declaring that thereafter history will say of all lovers that they were as true as Troilus. Cressida declares that if she ever strays from him, she hopes that people will say of false lovers that they were as false as Cressida. Pandarus declares that if ever the pair prove false, may 'all pitiful goers-between' be called after his name.

Scene 3

Meanwhile, in the Greek encampment, Cressida's father, Calchas, who has betrayed Troy in order to join the Greeks, asks the Greek general to grant him a favor. He asks that they exchange the Trojan commander Antenor, for his daughter, so that he might be reunited with her. Agamemnon agrees, and orders Diomedes to supervise the exchange. On Ulysses's advice, the Greek commanders then file past Achilles's tent, and scorn the proud warrior, ignoring his greetings and making him uneasy. He goes to Ulysses and asks him why he is being scorned, and Ulysses tells him that he is no longer a hero and he will be forgotten quickly. He tells, and suggests that Achilles could restore his fame and honor if he stopped dallying with enemy women and took the field. When Ulysses is gone, Patroclus tells Achilles to follow Ulysses's advice; seeing that his reputation is at stake, Achilles agrees. Thersites comes in and reports that Ajax is now striding about the camp, completely puffed up with his own importance. Patroclus persuades the foul-mouthed slave to talk Ajax into bringing Hector, safely conducted by Agamemnon, to Achilles' tent after their fight the next day, so that Achilles may speak with Hector.

Act 4

Scene 1

Diomedes comes to Troy to make the exchange of Antenor for Cressida, and he is greeted heartily by Aeneas and Paris. Aeneas goes to fetch Cressida, remarking that this exchange will deal a heavy blow to Troilus; Paris concurs, but says regretfully that they have no choice: "the bitter disposition of the time will have it so". After Aeneas is gone, Diomedes is asked who he thinks deserves Helen more: Paris, or Menelaus? With great bitterness, the Greek replies that both deserve her, since both are fools, willing to pay a great price in blood for a whore.

Scenes 2–3

Meanwhile, as morning breaks, Troilus takes a regretful leave of Cressida while she pleads with him to stay a little longer. Pandarus comes in and makes several bawdy jokes about their recent lovemaking; suddenly, there is a knock at the door, and Cressida hides Troilus in her bedroom. Aeneas enters, and demands that Pandarus fetch Troilus. When the young prince emerges, Aeneas tells him the sad news that Cressida must be sent to her father in the Greek camp. Troilus is distraught, and goes with Aeneas to see his father, Priam, while Pandarus breaks the news to Cressida, who begins to weep.

Scene 4

Troilus brings Diomedes, together with the great lords of Troy, to Cressida's house, and begs leave to say goodbye to his lady. When they are alone, he pledges to be faithful, and Cressida promises that even in the Greek camp, she will remain true to him. Then Diomedes is brought in, and Troilus demands that he "use her well...for, by the dreadful Pluto, if thou dost not, Though the great bulk Achilles be thy guard, I'll cut thy throat" (1.4.124–129). Diomedes retorts that he will make no promises but will treat Cressida as she deserves, not because any Trojan prince orders him to. At that moment, a trumpet sounds, calling them all to the Greek camp for the duel between Hector and Ajax.

Scene 5

In the Greek camp, the newly arrived Cressida is greeted by all the Greek commanders. Ulysses insists that she be kissed by everyone, only then refusing to kiss her himself and when she is gone, he declares that she is a loose, unvirtuous woman. Then the Trojan lords arrive, and the conditions of the duel are set by Aeneas, who remarks that since Ajax and Hector are related, Hector's whole heart will not be in this fight. As the two combatants prepare, Agamemnon asks Ulysses "what Trojan is that same that looks so heavy" (4.5.113.1). Ulysses tells his general that the downcast Trojan is Troilus, and then goes on to praise him profusely, saying that Troilus may even be a greater man than Hector.

Act 5

Scene 1

Achilles boasts to Patroclus how he will kill Hector. The two encounter Thersites, who delivers a letter to Achilles, and then unloads his usual torrent of abuse on them, calling Patroclus Achilles' male varlot, his 'masculine whore', and on the entire campaign. The letter is from the Trojan princess, Polyxena, whom Achilles loves, and it begs him not to fight the next day; he tells Patroclus sadly that he must obey her wishes. They go out, and Thersites remains; he watches from the shadows as the feast breaks up. Most of the lords go to bed, but Diomedes slips off to see Cressida, and Ulysses and Troilus follow him. Noting that Diomedes is an untrustworthy, lustful rogue, Thersites follows him as well.

Scene 2

At Calchas's tent, Diomedes calls to Cressida. Her father fetches her, while Troilus and Ulysses watch from one hiding place and Thersites from another. With Thersites's profanity and Troilus's shock providing a counterpoint, Diomedes woos Cressida, who behaves reluctantly but coyly toward his advances, fending him off for a time but never allowing him to leave. Eventually, she gives him a sleeve that Troilus presented to her as a love-token then she takes it back, and says that she never wants to see Diomedes again then she softens, gives it to him once more, and promises to wait for him later, when he will come to sleep with her. When she is gone, and Diomedes too, Troilus is in agony, first denying the evidence seen with his own eyes, and then pledging to find Diomedes on the field of battle and kill him. Finally, as morning nears, Aeneas arrives to lead him back to Troy.

Scene 3

Hector girds for battle, while the women, i.e. his wife, Andromache and his sister, Cassandra plead with him not to go. Both have had dreams that prophesy his death, but he dismisses their warnings. Troilus comes in and says that he will be fighting too; indeed, he chides Hector for having been too merciful to his enemies in the past, saying that today Troilus plans to slay as many men as he can. Cassandra leads Priam in, and the old king pleads with his son not to fight, saying that he too feels foreboding about this day, but Hector refuses to listen and goes out to the battlefield. Pandarus brings Troilus a letter from Cressida; Troilus tears it up and follows Hector out to the field.

Scene 4

As the battle rages, Thersites wanders the field, escaping death by brazen cowardice.

Scene 5

Another part of the plains, Agamemnon summarises the ways the Greeks are doing badly in the battle, including that Doreus is taken prisoner and Patroclus probably slain. Then Nestor enters and says that "There is a thousand Hectors in the field" (5.4.3.) The scene ends with Achilles asking where Hector is.

Scene 6

Troilus calls Diomedes a traitor for capturing his horse. Diomedes, Ajax and Troilus exit, fighting.

Hector spares the unprepared Achilles, who boasts that Hector was simply fortunate to find him unarmed. Hector sees a Greek in ornate armour and pursues him.

Scene 7

In another part of the plains. Menelaus and Paris enter the scene fighting. Thersites is confronted by a bastard son of Priam, but declares that as he is himself a bastard they have no business fighting each other.

Scene 8

Achilles and his men find Hector, who has finished fighting and taken off his armour in order to try on the golden armour of the warrior he has conquered. Surrounding the unarmed Trojan, they stab him to death.

Scene 9

Agamenon, Ajax, Menelaus, Nestor, Diomedes and others enter marching. Word spreads among the Greeks of the death of Hector.

Scene 10

An embittered Troilus informs the Trojans of Hector's death, and curses Pandarus. Left alone on the stage, the unhappy Pandarus wonders why he should be so abused, when his services were so eagerly desired only a little while before.

A Thanksgiving take on ''Treehouse of Horror'' looking at the past, present and future of the holiday. Turkeys are slaughtered by pilgrims during the first Thanksgiving, Homer purchases an A.I. based on Marge that resents the real one, and an already-dangerous space mission escaping a doomed Earth becomes worse when Bart's attempts to replicate cranberry sauce turn it into a sentient monster.

In the introduction, Marge informs the viewers that, because of the 'impending terror of everything', there are two ''Treehouse of Horror'' episodes this year. Homer complains about not knowing when to eat dinner on Thanksgiving, while Kang and Kodos appear dressed as seventeenth-century colonists and declare their intentions to take over the world.

A-Gobble-Ypto

In a parody of ''Apocalypto'', the Simpson family and some other Springfield residents are depicted as turkeys, while others are depicted as Pilgrims. After Marge lays an egg, the latter hunt for their Thanksgiving dinner and Homer is among the turkeys captured; Bart escapes, but follows them back to their settlement. Several turkeys are bloodily killed, but a panic erupts when the turkey version of Grampa continues to run around with his head cut off. In the confusion, Bart rescues Homer and they reunite with their family, but are chased by Constable Wiggum until a bear mauls him to death. The egg then hatches to reveal a turkey version of Maggie. Upon watching some Pilgrims eat turkey dinner, Homer comments that times will be dark for them as Thanksgiving becomes a new human tradition.

The Fourth Thursday After Tomorrow

In a parody of the ''Black Mirror'' special, "White Christmas", to help Marge with the Thanksgiving cooking as the Simpsons are holding a dinner party for many of their friends, Homer orders an A.I. with all of her memories, who acts as the protagonist of this story.

The Last Thanksgiving/The First Blarg-sgiving

In a parody of ''The Blob'', ''Alien'' and ''Life'', while on a spaceship years after the Earth's destruction, the kids are awoken from hibernation to do some work before landing on their new planet. Bart and Milhouse try to create a Thanksgiving dinner, but they can only find one can of cranberry sauce, which Bart tries to replicate and accidentally brings to life. The creature, being made of gelatin, eats bones, and soon kills every child except Bart, Lisa, Milhouse and Martin, the latter of whom betrays the others before allowing himself to be killed. Milhouse decides to befriend the monster, but is thrown aside by it instead, prompting Bart and Lisa to trick it into releasing Milhouse and launching itself into a large can. The two release the can into space, but it resists and damages the ship, causing it to crash on a nearby planet. Bart and Lisa reunite with Homer, Marge, Maggie and Santa's Little Helper, but not Snowball II, who died after her cryopod malfunctioned long ago, only for the creature to arrive on their new planet. Thankfully, the humans are aided by some native aliens, who make the monster into food, ending with an extraterrestrial version of the first Thanksgiving. Lisa then narrates that the monster happily found its true purpose: being fed to others, as the title card is renamed to "'''The ''First Blarg-''sgiving'''".

Credits

During the credits, footage of the Bart Simpson balloon at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is shown.

The Simpson family visits the Aquatraz Water Park, where Lisa notices how unhappy the animals are behind glass, including a penguin funeral, while Homer notices how much fun boat owners have, remembering how much he wanted one as a kid while fishing with his father.

A boat salesman notices Homer watching the boats and convinces him to buy one. Bart, Lisa, and Groundskeeper Willie go back to the water park to free the whale trapped in it, with Bart finally understanding altruism and liking it. Homer takes the family on a ride on his boat called the 'Something's Fishy' and even Marge agrees it was a good idea to buy it.

The next rider on the boat is Grampa. But when they return to the pier, the boat starts sinking and Raphael offers his help as a mechanic while Bart is sharing a plan with Milhouse to free other animals in his newfound spirit of altruism.

Homer offers Lenny and Carl to share the boat, and the expenses to fix it. Bart and Milhouse go to the Springfield Zoo and free a gorilla named Lolo, but he goes on a rampage while Milhouse narrowly escapes getting eaten by two tigers.

Bart calls Lisa for help since the police are useless on capturing Lolo. Homer starts co-owning the boat with even more people and the boat sinks due to the weight. Lolo rampages at the Springfield Elementary School and Lisa stops him using Seinfeld to calm him down.

Lisa takes Lolo home to help him go back to a life of freedom and takes him to Dr. Jane Goodall at the Pennsylvania Ape Reserve where he will be loved. At Moe's Tavern, it ends well when Homer convinces the co-owners of being as good as someone who owns a boat because they owned one for five minutes.

In Jerusalem, Mr. Jay leads the rehearsal of a play which enacts scenes from the Old Testament in its first part, and from the New Testament after the intermission. Goldberg, a Jew who survived the Holocaust, is his assistant. The production, which Feinberg notes as an outstanding example of ''mise en abyme'', presents "a series of disasters throughout the history of humankind where God has decided not to intervene". These scenes include Creation, the fall of man, the binding of Isaac, the golden calf, and the Crucifixion. The dialogue is liberally laced with direct quotes and allusions to verses from Scripture and lines from Shakespeare and Milton. Everything goes wrong in the rehearsal and Mr. Jay is thoroughly dissatisfied with it.

Mr. Jay has been identified with God, and also with Tabori. The play explores the relationship between Mr. Jay and Goldberg on several levels, with irony and bitter seriousness.

The film depicts the actions of U.S. troops stationed on the boundary dividing the United States from Mexico "with a view to protecting the International line and the citizens of the United States." On the other side of the border, Mexican soldiers "were camped to do likewise for their country." In this highly charged climate "one of the bright-eyed senoritas from the southern race" has captivated an officer from each side. The Mexican captain, played by Fielding, wins her hand via "quiet love and kindness," while "the irrepressible, impassionate United States trooper tries to take her heart by storm." By bringing the U.S. regiment into conflict with the Mexican troops, the rivalry "nearly causes international complications."

In 1970s France, Jean-Michel (André Dussollier) and Claudine (Anémone) are chosen by the Ministry of the Future to be the "model couple", a heterosexual pair to be used as test subjects in order to create "a new city for the new man" in the year 2000. Immediately upon their arrival at the test facility, Jean-Michel and Claudine are subjected to constant surveillance and monitoring by a pair of unfriendly sociologists (Zouc and Jacques Boudet) who constantly rate and evaluate the couple. The couple are asked to evaluate various state-of-the-art consumer products and to go through their daily routines in increasingly alienating and Kafkaesque circumstances.

As the experiment proceeds, the media speculates endlessly about its progress on talk shows and in news reporting, and the couple becomes increasingly irritated with the sociologists, the experiment, and each other. The sociologists' true motives become unclear, as they simultaneously mislead the couple as to the purpose of the experiment while themselves expressing contempt for the experiment's supposed intent and proceedings. The experiment enters a new phase, titled "denormalization". The couple are visited by guests, including a government minister and the American psychologist Dr. Goldberg, who humiliates Jean-Michel by testing his submissiveness to authority.

Later, a group of teenage terrorists (who are likely also employed by the Ministry of the Future, although this is left ambiguous) invades the experiment chamber wielding fake weapons. The terrorists propose that the couple play along with them and rebel against the experiment, unplugging all of the surveillance equipment and covering the walls with graffiti. A hostage team is sent to negotiate with the terrorists while the news media speculates wildly as to their motives and the consequences for the experiment. The terrorists demand airtime on television in exchange for the release of the couple, and film a short video together with Jean-Michel and Claudine. At the end of the film, Jean-Michel and Claudine are evicted from the experiment without an explanation as the terrorists and sociologists walk away.

In the 9th century, three opposing factions narrowly succeeded in defeating a seemingly unbeatable enemy and hacked its body into three pieces to be hidden away in the farthest corners of the Earth. The holder of the last piece is killed before he can bury it, leaving it unguarded. Lin and Mitch, two archaeologists, discover it in Sheffield on New Year's Day 2019, and unintentionally revive it as it remotely summons the other two fragments to become whole.

Whilst watching New Year's Day fireworks from different time periods, the Thirteenth Doctor and her companions are alerted to this alien presence, arriving in the present day and meeting the two archaeologists. Lin reveals that she saw a large squid-like creature on a wall; the Doctor finds only a blob of slime. Unbeknownst to the others, the creature has attached itself to Lin's back and has taken control of her mind and body.

Returning to Graham and Ryan's home, the crew discover that Ryan's hitherto absent father, Aaron, has returned, and wishes to make amends with his son for not being there, especially since Ryan's grandmother Grace’s death. Graham is sceptical but supports Ryan when he decides to go with Aaron to a local cafe so the two can talk. Meanwhile, the Doctor and Yasmin try to follow the creature, which has made Lin steal a police car and uniform. After examining the slime, the Doctor discovers that she is following a scout Dalek.

The Dalek, still controlling Lin, arrives at an archive base, killing its guard and using his fingerprints to access to the archives. Recovering a Dalek ray gun from the archive, she then travels to a rural warehouse, killing the owner and constructing a makeshift Dalek casing out of scrap metal.

Governor Dean Redding is running for the next presidential election. He attempts to get Laina Michaels' support for his campaign to mitigate his own controversy surrounding the Thinning. She declines but is later recruited by teacher Ms. Cole and Assuru Global security guard Jack to accept Redding's offer, in order to earn his trust and get close to him with hopes that this will help them end the Thinning for good.

Meanwhile, Blake is presumed dead by the public after he purposely failed the test, but he was actually taken to a slave labor facility to manufacture Assuru Global products along with other failed students called the Worthy (failed students chosen by the government to receive a second chance at life). He finds Ellie there, and they rekindle their relationship. Blake attempts to run away with Ellie, but they are caught by Mason King. DPC guards take Ellie away while Blake's leg is broken by Mason.

Eight months later, two weeks before election day, Laina continues her support for Redding's campaign. Kellan manages to crack the secret of the labor camps, saying Assuru Global doesn't have a manufacturing area in their campus and they have been insourcing military rations from a company called TXPak, enough for 100,000 people per year. Wendy Banks does not believe him, saying he doesn't have any evidence or proof. He visits Laina and secretly tells her everything and she believes him. When Kellan gets in his car, someone tries to suffocate him with a bag, but he triggers the car alarm and scares the killer. Laina then calls FBI agent Joanne Morris and tells her about Kellan's theory. Ms. Cole extracts Corrine and Joey out of the country only to be double-crossed by her co-worker.

As requested by Ms. Cole, Laina gets all the information from Redding's campaign manager, Georgina Preston's computer and manages to escape but Jack is caught. Laina is conned by Morris, and she tries to kill Laina. Laina manages to subdue Morris for a few seconds before jumping down into an apartment. She visits Kellan to copy the files of the camps from her drive to his computer. Kellan leaves, and gets in his car which explodes when he turns it on. Laina takes the drive and leaves. It is revealed that Morris and her men, both in league with Assuru, killed Kellan and were planning to kill Laina to tie up loose ends. Morris camps behind a staircase outside, while her men go inside Kellan's apartment. But Laina planned to blow up the apartment, killing Morris's men. When Laina attempts to escape, she is assaulted by Morris to force Laina to give her the drive, but Laina kills Morris by stabbing her with a box cutting knife, then shoving her down a flight of stairs, which snaps Morris' neck. Laina then makes it to BNC News where she turns over the drive to Wendy.

An unpopular academic, Dr Donald Howard, is dismissed from the college for fraud. Doubt soon arises as to the evidence and the fellows are divided into two camps, those who are reluctant to reopen the case and others who override the board. Eliot handles the defence in the proceedings.

In the year 1965, with the post-WWII era now in the past, police crack down on the criminal organizations which had thrived during that turbulent era and numerous gangs are disbanded. Amid these conditions, 30-year-old Kensaku Gunji becomes the 4th head of the Hamayasu family operating in a small corner of the Port of Yokohama as a replacement for the acting head Tetsuji Kuroki, who is in prison.

The Hamayasu member Onuma is arrested under the Port Labor Act and shipping work comes to a standstill. Onuma's wife asks for help but it is Onuma's third arrest and it will be difficult. Iwakiri, the head of his own organization, asks whether Gunji wishes to get out of the shipping business and suggests grabbing part of the warehousing rights to a huge new factory complex of Oriental Heavy Industries. To do so, Gunji will have to clear out the people living in slums on the land where the factory complex will be built. Gunji refuses to clear out the slums where he was raised but is told that if he does not, the Daimon organization from Tokyo will do it. Gunji agrees but asks Kasama Tsutomu to resign so that Kasama will not have to evict the elderly from the slum where his parents live. Kasama refuses to quit and pledges to take charge of the eviction.

When Gunji attempts to talk with the people living in the slum, they become agitated and throw various objects, including a dead cat, at the Hamayasu. Kasama's father angrily criticizes him for joining the yakuza and now evicting them and his mother screams that she should have killed him at birth. A fistfight ensues but the Hamayasu are stopped by Hayami, an old friend of Gunji who abandoned the slum 12 years earlier to become a boxer but has now returned to defend it, taking refuge in a small boat dubbed the SS Black Dragon. Hayami is visited by Joe, a promising rookie boxer whose eye was injured in his last match but who escaped from the hospital because he could not afford to have his eye fixed. Hayami refuses to allow Joe to quit boxing and become a hustler, instead promising to get Joe the operation he needs so that Joe can live out the dreams Hayami lost when he himself had an eye injury.

The next morning the Hamayasu and Iwakiri gangs arrive together to destroy the livestock held in the slum and attack its inhabitants. Unable to go to the police due to their illegal squatting on the land, they barricade themselves inside the slum, which gives them defense but cuts them off from income. Three miners from Kyushu arrive in an attempt to pass themselves off as inhabitants of the slum and thereby collect the payment for leaving offered by Daimon Construction.

Tetsuji Kuroki is released from prison and returns to the Hamayasu. He visits a former lover who is now working as a waitress in a bar. She confesses that she has waited five years for him but he is resistant to letting her get involved with him again.

Hayama accepts money from the Daimon organization and allows them into the slum to pressure one of the families into selling by force. The next morning Kasama, Ozaki, and other members of the Hamayasu see Daimon soldiers arriving at the slum and attempt to stop them but are shown the deed of sale and beaten up after resisting. Gunji receives a letter or resignation from Kasama with his severed pinky finger in it as an apology. Kasama invades the Daimon Construction office to kill their boss Daimon himself but when he is captured he commits suicide by biting off his own tongue. The brutal bespectacled Daimon enforcer Katagiri tells Gunji to come alone to collect Kasama. Gunji shows them the letter and pinky to prove that Kasama acted on his own during the attack. The Daimon demand a 50% share of the warehousing rights to overlook the attack just as Kuroki arrives and fights them off, telling them that there will be blood spilled if they do not stop. Kasama's parents later come to collect the body from a tearful Gunji. The next morning their bodies are found hanging in their home after an apparent suicide. Two of the Kyushu miners flee out of fear but their leader, who is actually from Tokyo, remains in order to fight the yakuza.

Joe figures out that Hayami is collaborating with the Daimon and asks him to stop but Hayami refuses because he still needs more money for Joe's operation. Iwakiri visits the Daimon Construction office and offers to split the warehousing rights 50/50. Daimon soldiers kill the remaining miner and run over Joe with their cars during the escape, killing him. Hayami holds Joe as he dies and the other two miners return and cry over the body of their fallen friend. Hayami enters the Daimon Construction office and accuses them of the attack but they deny it. Hayami returns the money he has received and tells them that the deal is off.

The Daimon organization leads the slum dwellers to believe that the attack was by the Hamayasu and the slum dwellers attack the Hamayasu at their office in the Port of Yokohama. The tables are turned as the Hamayasu barricade themselves inside their office but the attackers set fire to the barricade to force them out. During the ensuing melee, Iwakiri soldiers sneak in and stab one of the miners to death. The police arrive and arrest all of the members of the Hamayasu for the stabbing. Hayami watches his old friend Gunji being driven away by the police. Kuroki reads about the arrest in the newspaper and visits Iwakiri, who insists that the members of his gang who were working with the Hamayasu had already left before the fight occurred. Daimon and Katagiri arrive during their meeting and Kuroki realizes that the two groups are working together. Kuroki swears to Iwakiri that Iwakiri will never get the warehousing rights. As he is leaving he is stabbed in the back but he manages to take vengeance by killing Iwakiri before being shot to death. He collapses to the floor with his final thoughts being of the waitress. The Daimon gang then shoots the rest of the Iwakiri gang to wrap things up.

Daimon Construction brings in its heavy machinery to destroy the shanties in the slum. The waitress pays Gunji's bail and they visit Kuroki's grave together. Hayami visits Gunji and they visit the destroyed slum, identifying the demolished SS Black Dragon. Realizing that they have been played like marionettes, they join together and attack the groundbreaking ceremony for the new factory complex. They stab Daimon to death but are then stabbed to death themselves by other members of the Daimon gang. The construction of the Oriental Heavy Industries factory complex is completed the following year. Japan's gross domestic product soon becomes the second-largest in the world, exceeded only by that of the United States.

''Heading Home'' follows Team Israel’s surprising success in the World Baseball Classic in March 2017. Every player on the team was either an Israeli or a Jewish American eligible for Israeli citizenship under Israel's Law of Return. Ryan Lavarnway, the Team Israel catcher, referring to the Nazi “mischling” law that defined a Jew by even one grandparent mused: “Two generations ago, the way this team was put together would have meant that we were being rounded up to be killed… For us to be able to stand up here and have the Israel flag and Jewish star hanging in the stadium, it [means] we’re here.”

The documentary follows the team winning the qualifier, practicing before hundreds of local baseball players in Israel, seeing Israeli sites such as the Western Wall, Yad Vashem, the Dead Sea, and Masada, and taking part in a groundbreaking ceremony for a new baseball field in Bet Shemesh, Israel. It then chronicles the team's performance at the 2017 World Baseball Classic in South Korea and Japan—as they sweep the first round, and play well into the second round.

The odds against Israel were 200-1, and it was ranked 41st in the world - while the other teams were primarily the top 15 ranked teams in the world. ESPN compared Team Israel to the Jamaican bobsled team. Israel beat top-ranked teams from Cuba, South Korea, China, Taiwan, and the Netherlands, all ranked in the top 10 in the world, and came in 6th in the tournament.

The story of ''Spinning Silver'' unfolds in the voices of several characters, but primarily in the voices of three young women who struggle against strong evil forces, in an imaginary medieval eastern European kingdom called Lithvas.

Over the last seven years, Lithvas has been suffering from long, brutal winters that are slowly killing its people. Miryem Mandelstam, a young Jewish girl, takes over her father's moneylending business to save her family from debt. A village girl, Wanda, becomes the Mandelstams' servant, and she and her brothers become close with them. One night Miryem, flush with her financial success, brags to her mother that she can “turn silver into gold”. Her boast is overheard by the Staryk, a race of fae creatures who emerge from their own world every winter to raid human settlements, and Miryem receives three deliveries of magical silver. Realizing that the Staryk will kill her if she does not give them gold in exchange, she has the metal made into three pieces of jewellery to sell. However, after the sale of the second piece, Miryem demands payment for her work; to Miryem’s horror, the Staryk king tells her that after the third, her "reward" will be marriage to him.

The jewellery is bought by the duke of the city of Vysnia for his daughter, Irina; he then persuades Mirnatius, the tsar of Lithvas, to marry her. On her wedding night, Irina discovers that while wearing her Staryk jewellery, she can cross into the Staryk kingdom and magically observe her husband. Mirnatius has a contract allowing his body to be inhabited by Chernobog, a demon who drinks souls and can only emerge at night due to his hatred of sunlight. Each evening, the new tsarina escapes to the fae world, where she is safe from the demon.

After the Staryk king abducts Miryem to his palace, she learns that she can literally change silver into gold with a touch. She also discovers that the Staryk king is responsible for lengthening the winters in Lithvas, and that it is his desire to make them permanent. Although she hates her husband, who refuses even to tell her his name due to the power over him it would give her, Miryem comes to know and care for some of the Staryk; she also sees that their kingdom is suffering mysterious damages. While out exploring, Miryem encounters Irina. The two women create a plan to bring their husbands together, in the hopes that they will destroy one another. Because Miryem cannot cross to the human world alone, she bargains with the king: he will take her to attend her cousin’s wedding in Vysnia if she can transform three of his enormous vaults of silver within three days. She succeeds, barely, with the help of her servants.

Chernobog promises that, in exchange for Irina giving him the Staryk king, he will never harm her or anyone she cares about. She takes him to the wedding, where he confronts the king. With the help of the mortals, the demon imprisons the Staryk and begins consuming his magic. Mirnatius tells Irina that he did not choose the contract with Chernobog, but was promised to the demon by his own mother in exchange for her marrying his father, the previous tsar. Once the king is bound, spring arrives. However, Miryem is troubled to realize that the fae kingdom and its inhabitants, including those who helped her, will all be destroyed as the king is drained. She goes to her husband and learns that, while the Staryk have always raided the human world, they began trying to exterminate Lithvas with brutal winters only after Mirnatius became tsar. Through the magical connection between the fae and human kingdoms, the demon caused the weakening of the Staryk world.

Miryem frees the king after extracting a promise that he will end the killing winters and the raids. Chernobog, enraged, threatens Irina until she offers to take him to the Staryk kingdom. There, Miryem lures the demon into the king’s treasury, and once he is surrounded by silver, she turns it into gold. Unable to bear the touch of solid sunlight on his skin, Chernobog flees back to the human world. In the mortal lands, the demon attempts to turn on Irina, but finds himself powerless when she reminds him of their bargain not to harm her or anyone of hers. As tsarina, she counts all the people of Lithvas as hers - including the tsar. Chernobog is thus forced from Mirnatius's body and killed.

As spring has returned to Lithvas, Miryem is obliged to remain in the Staryk kingdom until the day of the first snow. However, when she returns to the human world, she realizes that she has become attached to the kingdom, its people, and its king. She is nevertheless astonished when the king asks for permission to court her. She consents, and the pair are wed two weeks later. Miryem notes that, in accordance with Jewish custom, her husband signed his name on their marriage certificate - but in accordance with Staryk custom, she will never reveal it to anyone.

Samantha "Sam" Craft's first day as a pizza delivery girl is going poorly, as customers aren't giving her tips. When she is assigned a delivery in the affluent Mill Basin neighborhood, she is hopeful that her luck will change. However, the delivery recipient, Gary Neumieir, also stiffs Sam on a tip. Frustrated and needing gas money, Sam enters the mansion to demand a tip. Inside, she inadvertently interrupts the secret gathering of a satanic coven led by Danica Ross. The coven, which includes Gary Neumieir and his wife Gypsy, capture Sam after they realize she is a virgin.

Sam awakens to find herself held captive with Danica's disgruntled husband, Samuel. Samuel explains that the coven plans to summon the demon Baphomet but needs a virgin's womb to do so. After Sam reveals that she is a virgin, Samuel says that he can save their lives by taking her virginity and tries to sexually assault her. Sam fights back. Samuel pulls a gun but accidentally fatally shoots himself as Sam escapes outside.

Sam flees down the street to another mansion, where her pleas for help are answered by a babysitter, Kristen. However, Sam soon discovers that the babysitter is in league with the coven. Fleeing upstairs, Sam encounters Kristen's sister Michelle, who attacks Sam with a strap-on dildo drill. Sam avoids the attack and Michelle accidentally impales her sister, before electrocuting herself when the drill punctures wiring in a wall.

Sam hears cries for help from a bedroom, and she enters to find Judi Ross, the daughter of coven leader Danica, hogtied on the bed. Danica had originally intended Judi to be the coven's virginal sacrifice, but after discovering that Judi had had sex to avoid this fate, Danica ordered Judi to be killed. Sam frees Judi and calls 911, but the call redirects to the coven, so the girls again flee.

Danica next tries to capture Sam by creating a "haxan cloak" creature from her dead husband's heart, but Sam escapes the creature with Judi's help. Gypsy questions Danica's leadership, and when the rest of the coven sides with Gypsy, Danica agrees to let Gypsy conduct a ritual to curse and kill Judi from afar. However, Judi, who is versed in witchcraft, manages with Sam's help to ward off the curse. An irate Gypsy confronts Danica about teaching her daughter the protection magic that allowed her to survive. Another coven member suddenly plunges a spike into Danica's head, apparently killing her. However, after the coven leaves in search of Sam, Danica resurrects herself. Using knowledge gained from reading the entrails of a man she murders, Danica tracks down and captures Sam and Judi.

Sam and Judi awaken tied to an altar in Danica's backyard, surrounded by the coven. Danica, triumphant and back in control of the coven, uses a spell to drown Gypsy. As she falls dead, Gypsy inadvertently breaks the protective circle of salt laid to prevent the ritual from being disturbed. The summoning begins, and Sam is supernaturally impregnated by Baphomet. An enraged Sam breaks free from her bonds and holds a knife to her now-pregnant belly, demanding Judi be released. Instead, Danica slashes Judi's throat and kills her.

Despondent, Sam suddenly goes into labor; to calm herself she repeats a "two fuzzy bunnies" mantra, and then she gives birth to two fuzzy bunnies (rather than Baphomet as intended) to the shock of the coven. Sam suddenly finds the yard empty of all coven members. A demon named Samaziel manifests in front of Sam in the guise of a little girl. Samaziel explains that it ranks higher than Baphomet among hell's demons and is angry that the coven did not worship it. Because the protective line of salt had been disturbed by Gypsy's death, Samaziel was able to enter and wreak havoc on the ritual. Sam convinces Samaziel to spare her, and as Sam flees, the yard is again populated with the coven. Danica is decapitated as Samaziel laughs. Coven members begin choking to death. Sam collects one of the bunnies -the other having been killed- and escapes on her Vespa as Samaziel waves goodbye.

Sam returns to the pizzeria, where she tells her boss she is going to Australia and leaves with her bunny, now named Judi Junior.

After the wake, Junior slips and falls on the church steps, causing Dickie to laugh uproariously in his face, infuriating Junior. Dickie reconnects with Giuseppina and promises her a beauty parlor for her to run. During a walk on the beach, she confesses to her affair with Harold. An enraged Dickie drowns her in the ocean. Dickie again visits Sally, who suspects Dickie of murdering both his brother and Giuseppina.

Dickie listens to Sally's advice and begins to avoid Tony, refusing to see him or answer his calls. An upset Tony throws the speakers Dickie gave him out his window. Later that night, Silvio encourages Dickie to reconcile with Tony, and Dickie relents. Before he can arrive home, Dickie is shot in the back of the head by an unknown assailant on Junior's orders.

The book, which has a total of 566 pages, covers Koxinga's life, from the period which he was taken from Japan to China, and includes his expulsion of the Dutch. Koxinga's adventures, including two naval battles with the Dutch, make up portions until the mid-point of the novel, when the Manchus sack his estate. The second half of the novel ends after Koxinga defeats the Dutch, and he dies of an illness. (web page [http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2018/05/03/2003692418/2 2/2])

The novel has a focus on areas in Taiwan in and around the forts established by the Dutch. A portion of the novel takes place in Batavia, Dutch East Indies (now Jakarta, Indonesia). Incidents of rape, murder, and sex are occurrences.

According to Yip, the novel's Koxinga is "a flawed but driven warrior" who "is not romanticized or lionized, but neither is it easy to develop much admiration or sympathy for him." Bradley Winterton of the ''Taipei Times'' stated that "Koxinga himself is generally shown as an unsympathetic figure, but someone who nevertheless usually keeps his word." Yip stated that there were relatively few Taiwanese characters while many of the characters were Dutch, and that the latter "perhaps unsurprisingly, feature prominently".

Riqui's family immigrated from Cuba during the early 1970s, escaping Fidel Castro's takeover. He opens up the memoir by detailing his family's journey to Miami. His grandmother paid for his whole family to travel to go from Cuba then Spain, then New York, then finally Miami. When Riqui's family finally settled in ''Güecheste'', Miami they went to work at a bodega, a store owned by his uncle. Riqui's family held tight to their Cuban Heritage and only ate Cuban food. However, Riqui had a hard time accepting this as he wanted to eat American food like Pop-Tarts and Cool Whip. His grandmother, Abuela, would frequently disapprove because real food was Cuban food to her. Abuela did not want to shop at Winn-Dixie out of fear of the American language barrier. Riqui insisted and finally his grandmother gave him money to shop at Winn-Dixie. She later started enjoying American products and offered to cook Riqui a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner, she referred to as ''San Giving''. However, his extended family decided to bring and merge the Cuban food with the American food, which frustrated Riqui. Towards the end of thanksgiving Riqui connects pilgrims to his family and how their journeys to America are similar.

Riquis family continued to strengthen their ties to Cuba. His grandfather, Abuelo, wanting to hold unto this life from Cuba created an animal farm in his backyard. This consisted of a Chickens, a rooster, some bunnies and a dog. This however, was not allowed and Animal Control made Abuelo get rid of his animals. Riqui was devastated when his Abuela killed all the chickens and served it for dinner. Things get even worse when Riqui purchases a rug-making kit, that he had been saving up for, and his Abuela takes it away from him and warned him about seeming like ''un'' ''maricón.'' She then later helps the family go to Disney World by paying for everyone's ticket.

The trip to Disney World, in his fathers Chevy Malibu, came with challenges for the whole family. The boys had to endure their parents Spanish songs on the radio, and Riqui had to poop on the side of the highway while getting photographed by his Mother. Due to the language barrier Riqui's older brother, Caco, had to be the interpreter on the trip so his family could communicate. Caco had to not only help his father at the service plaza, but also when he gets pulled over for speeding, that led to the brother feeling embarrassed. Once the family arrives to Disney, Riqui is excited for Cinderellas castle and ''El Ratoncito Miguel,'' Mickey Mouse. However, Riqui was disappointed when he couldn't go into Cinderellas castle since he wanted to play dress-up. He ends up buying a Mickey mouse doll and melting his crayons in the back of his dads precious car.

Riquis family goes on vacation in Miami to Copa Hotel. There he meets Yetta Epstein who shares about her life. Riqui gets left behind by his older cousins and brother.

She likes coming from many places and shows Riqui that he should feel good about his Cuban background. Riqui learns about the old Miami from Yetta and he shares about the Cuba his parents always talk about it. Riqui and Yetta bid their farewells towards the end of Riqui's vacation. As Riqui starts getting older he gains weight and his Abuela helps him find a job at their families Bodega, ''El Cocuyito.'' He later is forced to take out the cashiers daughter to her ''Quinces'' by his Abuela in an attempt to make him ''Un Hombre,'' a man. Riqui does that to make his Abuela happy, but he was not attracted to his girl or any girl yet.

During high school, Riqui's best friend Julio makes him ask out Anita. Riqui takes her out even though he felt no romantic feelings towards her. He later takes her to the dance where he kisses her, but when he still feels nothing he realized he was different than the other boys.

At ''El Cocuyito'', Riqui is getting stronger and gaining more responsibility. When a middle aged man named Victor starts working there, Riqui becomes intrigued with him. Victor was an artist and he tells Riqui about his past in Cuba. He tells him that he was jailed for loving another man so he fled Cuba. As the two grow closer to each other, Riqui starts becoming attracted to Victor. On Victors birthday, Riqui goes to his house, but things take a turn when Victor made a sexual move towards him and Riqui resisted. Riqui came to terms that he was a gay man and Victor told him he needed to accept himself in order to be ready.

As the book is coming to end, the family is preparing for their weekly picnic at ''El Farito''. The family also invited extended family for the barbecue his mom was preparing. Ariel was a family friend about Riqui's age. He brought a pig for Riqui's mom to roast and shared memories about Cuba with Riqui and his family. It seemed to bug Riqui how much Ariel knew about Cuba and how easily he connected with his Cuban heritage. However, Ariel talks to Riqui and tells him to visit Cuba and stay connected. After the party Ariel and Riqui never meet again. As the memoir comes to an end, Riqui talked about the death's in his family and a touching visit to Cuba with his mother.

Now genuinely in love with her, Nicho admits that it was he, and the two embrace one another.

The background of ''Heaven Will Be Mine'' begins after humanity has reached the cosmos. The Cold War, in this alternate universe, instead refers to humanity collectively coming together to combat what it believes to be a hostile alien presence referred to as an "Existential Threat." Humanity has built a score of space-traversing fighting robots, known as Ship-Selves, to combat this threat. These machines connect to their pilots, effectively allowing their pilots to become their ships, sensing what they sense, feeling what they feel. The space program also developed a Lunar Gravity Well Generator in order for these ships, and humanity in general, to survive in the vacuum of space.

Despite the initial reference to the Existential Threat as a nemesis of all humanity, the Threat is revealed to be little more than a shadow created by the gravitational presence of humanity itself, and is easily destroyed. The "Earth" faction, known as the Memorial Foundation, brands the space program a failure, and demands that the colonies of humans in space and on Mars leave their colonies and return to Earth. The Martian colonies, known as Cradle's Graces, declare independence instead, refusing to return to Earth, and a stalemate begins between them and the Memorial Foundation. While this occurs, the Celestial Mechanics faction, composed of the other space colonies, recognizes that the Memorial Foundation has branded all of those in space as mutants, which it will use as a pretense to weaponize the discontent still simmering on Earth after the initial failure to find an Existential Threat. They devise their own plan to take control of the Lunar Gravity Well and all of the space-dwelling colonies.

''Heaven Will Be Mine's'' plot, from this point, may take a number of different directions, depending on the character chosen and the arrangement of player choices afterwards. Whatever the arrangement of choices, the player's character will engage with the other two factions' pilots in combat, though this combat occurs only in text and is often interspersed by romantic feints between both pilots. Most of the choices found in each mission will allow the player to grow closer to another faction's pilot, thereby betraying their own faction in order to garner the affection of both the opposing faction and the opposing pilot.

Three brothers are born in a slum. Kuroki, the eldest brother, leaves to join a yakuza organization. Jirō, the middle brother, leaves five years later, leaving the youngest brother Sabu to care for their mother alone. Kuroki's organization sets up Jirō to be arrested and he spends five years in jail. When he is released, he finds Sabu and others carrying his mother's coffin away and Sabu tells him that their mother would not have wanted to see him anyway because he stole her money when he left.

At the opening of Club Phoenix, Kuroki's boss tells him that Jirō has been released and that he must keep him close in order to keep an eye on him. Sabu attempts to bring their mother's cremated remains to Kuroki but Kuroki gives him money for a grave and kicks him out. Sabu throws the remains in the river and uses the money to celebrate his freedom with his friends. At the Mizuhara Trading office, Jirō and Mizuhara plot to rob 20 million yen from the Iwasaki Group as it is being transported. Kuroki arrives and gives Jirō money to leave town but Jirō buys forged passports and cheaply recruits Sabu and Sabu's friends to help with the robbery.

At the airport, Sabu's friends stage a brawl as a distraction while Jirō and Mizuhara stick up the three bagmen at gunpoint and put sunglasses covered in black tape over their eyes to blind them as Sabu and Mako grab the bags of money and flee. Jirō attempts to rob the money from Sabu at Sabu's hideout but only finds Mako, who says that Sabu has left with the bags. Mizuhara also arrives and fruitlessly attempts to rob the money from Jirō. Sabu's friends arrive and one of them, Akira, is killed in a struggle with Mizuhara. Jirō's lover Kyōko enters and tells them that the locals are gathering outside. Jirō convinces the locals that he is Kuroki from the Iwasaki Group investigating people who have betrayed the Group and tells them not to interfere.

After being overpowered, Sabu refuses to give up the location of the bags despite being beaten so Jirō and Mizuhara torture his friends one by one to make him talk. Iwasaki sends Kuroki to investigate and Kuroki goes to the slum but leaves after only finding black tape in Sabu's house. Sabu's friend Hiroshi lies to Jirō that the bags were left at the club. Jirō takes Sabu's gun to the club, where he is attacked by Iwasaki members who had been following Kuroki. They learn from the club owner that Jirō was looking for Sabu's bags, which leads them to link the robbery to Kuroki when they find the black tape on him. Sabu and his friends escape and run in different directions but Hiroshi is caught by the Iwasaki Group and the others return to Jirō and Mizuhara.

Kuroki, arriving to be questioned, sees a beaten Hiroshi being put into the trunk of a car. He is told that he is responsible for his brothers and must get the drugs and money back. Jirō and Mizuhara continue torturing Sabu but Sabu refuses to talk and breaks his own hands with bricks to prove his determination. Kuroki arrives and attempts to take Sabu away but they all know that Sabu will be tortured by the Iwasaki Group so Sabu refuses to leave. Kuroki threatens to torture Mizuhara to make them talk but Mizuhara begs for ten minutes to talk things over with the other participants in the robbery. Mizuhara threatens to shoot one of Sabu's friends but is shot by Jirō.

Kuroki holds the members of the Iwasaki Organization at bay outside and begs Sabu to surrender. Takeshi surrenders but is shot in the back by Sabu, who joins forces with Jirō and tells Kuroki that he must join them and fight against the Iwasaki Group if he wants to know where the bags are. As Kuroki stands to make his decision, the other members of the Iwasaki Group storm the hideout and kill everyone inside. As Kuroki walks away the slum-dwellers pelt him with objects, including a dead rat.

The story takes place in a world destroyed by a war 200 years earlier. A hyperspace magnetic weapon called the "Tesla Bomb" was used in the war, destroying all civilization and completely changing the world's terrain. The few who survived have abandoned high technology and live a simple but elegant life. The most advanced technology is the steam engine powered by a natural resource called fuel stones. Using improved steam engines with fuel stones, it is possible to fly an airplane. With the world's terrain made up of steep canyons caused by the destruction from the previous war, personal flight technology is necessary for people to live without destroying nature. However flight technology has undergone a high degree of evolution with the new civilization's collection of knowledge and now it's possible to fly freely with only human power. The flying machine is called the "Lapperopter".

In one town an altar stood with where someone touched part of it and fierce lightning struck several villages. Each village was cut into either a sun, moon, and star shape, and taken to a high altitude. People on the ground eventually began to call the floating land a "solita" (isolated island).

At one point, a letter fell from a resident in "Solita". The altar was actually a weapon controller with red energy balls floating around it. If all the balls can be destroyed in a short time, the villages can return to their original positions on the ground. However several have tried and failed to destroy all the energy balls.

To avoid more pilot casualties, a test to collect balloons in a short time is being conducted with the "Lapperopter".

He knocks Jesse out cold before realizing that he has gone too far. Paramedics come and wheel Jesse away to the hospital as Hank stares in awe. Walt and Saul arrive at the hospital and meet Jesse. Walt notes that they would be in jail if they had not tricked Hank, after Jesse blames him for his predicament. Jesse also claims that he will make Hank's life miserable, and, despite Saul's objections, threatens to hand Walt to the DEA if he or Saul intervenes. At the DEA, Hank makes a statement about what happened at the junkyard, but pleads the Fifth when it comes to his actions at Jesse's house. He is then informed that Jesse is filing charges for his actions.

Skyler visits Walt at his condo. He initially believes she is mocking him, but she pleads with him to pacify Jesse so that Hank does not face charges. Walt refuses despite Skyler's assertion that Hank is his family and asks her to leave.

Later, at the lab, Gale attempts to be friendly with Walt, but he gives him the cold shoulder. He forces a disagreement with Gale and later convinces a reluctant Gus to make Jesse his partner again.

Later, Hank is in an SUV in a parking lot when he gets a phone call and an electronically disguised voice tells Hank that he has one minute to leave before two men show up to kill him. At first, he wonders if it is a prank call, but after one minute Leonel and Marco arrive and ambush Hank. He reverses his car into Leonel, pinning him against another car and maiming him from the waist down, then flees with Leonel's gun. Marco empties his gun shooting at Hank and reloads, dropping the hollow point bullet in the process, before eventually knocking Hank down with two shots.

There, he finds a flower posted to Bruce Wayne, thanking him for investing in Gotham Tower. His butler, Alfred Pennyworth, notes that Batman has been poisoned by the flowers. Batman tells Alfred he must kiss Poison Ivy for the cure, and that if he fails Alfred must kill him. Batman chases Ivy to the Gotham Tower, where she has Trimbel tied up with her vines. Ivy and Batman confront each other, where Ivy says that Doctor Wood is the one who sent the flowers out, because he wanted Ivy. Ivy went along with it because she did it for everyone who has no light, everyone who lives in grey office cubicles and dark apartments and black prison cells. Batman warns Ivy that he'll have to knock her out to kiss her to make sure that she doesn't kill him when he passes out after being cured. Ivy insists for him to trust her, despite Batman's doubts. Batman at first decides to punch her, hesitates, then they embrace and kiss passionately instead. Upon being cured, he falls, but saves himself, and saves Ivy as Gotham Tower collapses when — assuming Batman dead — Poison Ivy tries to kill herself, once more insinuating that it is more than just lust she feels for him. Ivy and Batman share a moment together speaking, watching her plant creations create light, and Batman compliments her on her talent. Ivy then agrees to cure Trimbel so long as he agrees to stop building Gotham Tower, and he goes into a sleep after accepting this exchange.

In the final scene Batman takes Ivy back to Arkham Asylum, so that Ivy can finish her rehabilitation. Discouraged, Ivy complains to Batman about the lack of light in her cell, and Batman responds that there is nothing he can do about it, before departing. Ivy is welcomed back by the other patients on that ward. Meanwhile, on the way out Batman pays a visit to Doctor Wood, revealed to now himself be a patient at the asylum for his insanity. Transferred to a new cell the next morning, Ivy is stunned when she discovers that someone has had her room moved to a special cell where she can be in the sunlight, and has been filled with flowers as a gift. Upon being told some "anonymous benefactor" wanted to make sure her time isn't as daunting as it might have been, a touched Ivy smiles and thanks Batman.

In a session with his therapist, Eric Cartman expresses the difficulty he has been experiencing due to both the events of recent episodes and the behavior of the people around him. He says that he wishes he could simply be left alone with his cell phone. The psychologist diagnoses him with anxiety. To address his problem, Cartman purchases a Buddha Box, a cardboard box that he places over his head to help him relax, as it makes it easier for him to ignore the people around him causing his anxiety. Although this creates problems when he wears it in class and plays team sports, the popularity of the Buddha Box nonetheless spreads throughout the school and the town. His classmate Kyle Broflovski, however, grows increasingly irritated with Cartman's behavior while using the box and excoriates him for it, telling him that all people suffer from anxiety and simply adapt to it without annoying those around them. Cartman is shocked to learn this and has an epiphany. He goes to Mayor McDaniels and says that anxiety must be recognized as an epidemic, and that money must be raised to give all sufferers the tools they need to cope with it. When McDaniels asks him how he proposes they do this, Cartman simply speaks the Hindu greeting "Namaste", which he incorrectly interprets as "Fuck you, I have anxiety."

Meanwhile, South Park Elementary administrators PC Principal and Vice Principal Strong Woman deal with the difficulty of raising their extremely politically correct infant quintuplets, which were conceived during their affair in the episode "Splatty Tomato".

When the couple learn about the Buddha Box, they begin using it too, though this leads them to neglect the quintuplets, who go missing. The children eventually come into contact with a record producer who has them produce a hit single under the group name "The PC Babies". When Principal and Woman learn this, they rush to the recording studio and are shocked to learn that in just one day, the babies have protested a bar, stopped construction of a problematic viaduct, and written a hit single about cultural appropriation. Realizing that they missed all this because they were on their cell phones, PC Principal and Strong Woman hold a community meeting where they tell members of the public to stop using Buddha Boxes and reduce their cell phone use. When the two administrators see that everyone is wearing Buddha Boxes and ignoring them, they realize that they are free to take their children out and spend time with them in public, as a proper family, without anyone discovering the truth about their parentage.

Small Oils

Johnny Sparsholt, now an adult, lives in London in the mid 1970s as an art dealer's apprentice while trying to make a career as a painter.

Rachel, the sole survivor of an incident at the abandoned Holmesburg Prison, is being interviewed in the prison by Detective Ramsey. Hours earlier, during a housewarming party, Rachel's wannabe filmmaker friend, Hank, convinced Rachel and seven others to help him make a ghost hunting video at Holmesburg. After breaking into the building, the group splits up to explore it, with Rachel and her ex-boyfriend, Sean, uncovering paperwork relating to human experimentation, as well as unintelligible blueprints for structures similar to Holmesburg.

The filmmakers are stalked and picked off one by one by a figure wearing a gas mask and a Hazmat suit. Hank is convinced that the murderer is an alien, reveals that Holmesburg is a hotspot for extraterrestrial phenomena, and postulates that the prison's true purpose is to act as something akin to a landing pad for otherworldly beings visiting Earth. Hank and two others are all killed at the same time by the murderer, who bounds, gags, and places gas masks on Dan and Michelle, which leads to the latter being accidentally killed by Sean.

After Rachel and Sean find and free Dan, the three discover a Methamphetamine laboratory, where they recover Dan's cellphone. The trio call for aid and seemingly kill the masked man, only for another to appear and kill Dan. Rachel and Sean flee into the laboratory, where they find a bunch of dead drug cooks and dealers right before Sean is accidentally shot by a SWAT Team.

Detective Ramsey has doubts about Rachel's story, as he and his fellow officers have found no signs of there being anyone else in the prison besides the methamphetamine dealers, all of whom were dead before Rachel's group broke in Holmesburg. Detective Ramsey posits that Rachel and her friends all unknowingly became high on methamphetamine fumes, which led to one or more of them potentially killing each other during psychotic breaks, right before another officer radios in to inform Detective Ramsey that they have recovered all of the footage that was shot by Hank's hidden cameras, and that, "It's not what we thought." The lights then go out, and gunshots and screams ring out as a figure wearing a gas mask enters the room and slaughters Detective Ramsey. The entity then removes its mask to reveal that it is an alien right before lunging at Rachel.

16-year-old Monroe "Mo" Harris is escorted out of class by a police officer.

When Mo was younger, his older sister Kate dated her classmate Zeke Presanti. Even after Kate broke up with him, Zeke and Mo remained close friends, despite their age difference. Mo’s parents, Reuben and Sherri, allow Mo to continue hanging out with Zeke despite their concern about Zeke's influence on their son. Zeke, now 23, works a dead-end job and spends most of his time smoking marijuana and drinking.

Mo spends most of his time with Zeke, his friends, and his girlfriend Holly rather than anyone his own age. Zeke helps Mo acquire drinks for a senior party after being invited by fellow sophomore Stacey, and gives Mo some weed to sell to the other kids. This earns Mo credibility among the seniors at the party. Mo also sees his classmate Sophie there, and they exchange numbers after he strikes up a conversation with her.

Mo later takes Sophie out on a dinner date for sushi before taking her back to Zeke’s place to hang out. They drink, and before Sophie leaves, she and Mo kiss. This earns him the nickname "Tongue Daddy" from his friends, which Zeke tattoos onto Mo's chest. The next night Mo comes home accidentally stoned after being in a hot boxed car with Zeke, right before a family dinner. His father finds out about this and his tattoo, resulting in Mo being grounded and forbidden from hanging out with Zeke.

The same day a police officer comes to school and interrogates him, telling him he won’t get in trouble if he reveals who supplied the drugs they found in the car.

When the cops show up at a party looking for Mo off of a tip from Stacey, Zeke manages to get him out of the house and brings Mo back to his place. Mo cries about how he has become a degenerate like Zeke, even though he never wanted to be. He also admits to Zeke that he had sex with Holly and that he wanted to tell him sooner, but Zeke forgives him and the two reconcile. Zeke offers to take the fall for Mo supplying drugs at the party, but Mo declines his offer saying that Zeke has done enough and he needs to handle this on his own.

Robert comes to the rescue and there is a wild ride on a runaway train with Robert chasing it in a locomotive and rescuing Mildred just as the train is about to plunge into the river. Mildred is satisfied and accepts the Baron’s explanation when, realizing he is beaten, he declares it was all a part of the plan.

Ten years after the events of the first film, survivors Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita, and Little Rock have become experts in identifying and disposing of various zombies. Since then, they have set up their new home in the abandoned White House. They have also come across new strains of zombies, including "Homers" (very slow with no actual drive to feed), "Hawkings" (smarter than your average flesh-eater), and "Ninjas" (hides in the shadows waiting for the right time to kill). Columbus decides to propose to Wichita using the Hope Diamond, while Tallahassee rebuffs Little Rock's hopes of finding people her own age. The next morning, Tallahassee finds a note from Wichita and Little Rock. The girls took off after feeling too attached/repressed respectively to the men – in The Beast, heavily modified by Tallahassee.

A month later, while exploring a mall, Columbus is mourning his relationship with Wichita. Tallahassee, claiming Native American blood runs through his veins, is ready to head out on his own. Columbus is startled by a ditzy blonde named Madison, who has survived Zombieland by hiding inside the freezer of a Pinkberry store. Columbus invites her back to the White House, much to Tallahassee's annoyance, where Madison pounces on Columbus and the two have sex. Returning and discovering Columbus has slept with Madison, Wichita explains that Little Rock has left for Graceland with a pacifist from Berkeley, with no weapons save for "The Beast". Fearing for Little Rock's safety, the group heads toward Graceland in a rundown minivan, including Madison.

While trying to switch vehicles and secure an abandoned RV, they fight off another horde of zombies. Madison appears to be scratched on the foot by a "Ninja" and is saved by Columbus. The last zombie in the bunch is a new strain of super-zombie that takes multiple gunshots to kill, leading Columbus to nickname it the "T-800" after the ''Terminator'' franchise. They fail to secure the RV and retreat back to the minivan. Madison begins to show signs of "zombification," such as pale, flushed skin, deforming facial features, and uncontrollable vomiting. This forces them to pull to the side of the road so Columbus could lead her into the forest to shoot her.

The trio finally arrives at Graceland days later, only to find it in ruins. Little Rock, Berkeley, and "The Beast" are nowhere in sight. Tallahassee, a great admirer of Elvis Presley, is broken-hearted and pushes them to drive away. Further down the road, they discover "The Beast" at a nearby Elvis-themed motel. The place is run by a gun-slinging survivor named Nevada, who reveals Little Rock and Berkeley took another vehicle toward Babylon, a hippie commune. Bonding over their love of Elvis, Nevada and Tallahassee spend the night together.

In the morning, they are awakened to find "The Beast" being crushed by a monster truck driven by Nevada's friends Albuquerque and Flagstaff, who strongly resemble Tallahassee and Columbus in physical appearance and personality. Albuquerque and Tallahassee argue over Nevada while Flagstaff and Columbus compare "commandments" and "rules" for surviving a zombie apocalypse. T-800s soon appear in the driveway. Albuquerque and Flagstaff, trying to one-up the others, fight them alone. Almost immediately, however, they both exhibit signs of "zombification" and reveal they were bitten. The group is forced to fight the T-800 version of their counterparts. While proving to be severely difficult, they successfully kill the zombies. They hit the road again, this time heading for Babylon.

During an intimate conversation between Columbus and Wichita about their relationship, the group finds Madison, alive and well, driving an ice cream truck heading in the same direction. She rejoins the group and explains that her nut allergy caused symptoms similar to zombification. Instead of shooting her, Columbus spared her in the forest, shooting above her head to try and scare her off. They arrive at Babylon, begrudgingly giving up their weapons, and find Little Rock. A satisfied Tallahassee departs, only to find a horde of super zombies attracted by the commune's fireworks and drives back to warn everybody. Left without guns, Tallahassee devises a plan to kill the zombies with exploding biodiesel and then have commune members, armed with barricade shields, corral the stragglers off of a skyscraper with himself as the bait.

The zombie horde is more massive than expected, the exploding biodiesel is ineffective and the group is surrounded and almost overwhelmed. Nevada arrives in Albuquerque's monster truck, rescuing the group. They are able to take out several of the T-800s before the vehicle soon rolls over and they can't get it back up. Escaping upstairs, the survivors corral the zombies off the roof. Tallahassee uses a construction crane hook to dangle just out of reach, but the last two zombies seize his leg as they fall. Little Rock shoots them with a pistol given to her earlier by Tallahassee, rescuing him. The two reconcile and Wichita accepts Columbus' proposal of marriage. Little Rock breaks up with Berkeley, who hooks up with Madison. The original quartet leaves Babylon, joined by Nevada. Columbus remarks that they have finally found their home in each other.

In a mid-credits scene set during the start of the zombie outbreak in 2009, Bill Murray witnesses Al Roker turn into a Zombie during an interview promoting the fictional ''Garfield 3: Flabby Tabby''. Before making his escape, he kills multiple zombies, including zombie versions of Grace Randolph and Lili Estefan. In a post-credits scene, an outtake of Murray causing the cast to break character while he coughs up a hairball is shown.

The rules

Continuing the rules from ''Zombieland'', Columbus' list of 73 rules includes:

Flagstaff's commandments or rules for staying alive:

Tallahassee considers adding a rule of his own: "It takes a real man to drive a pink Cadillac"

Madison's rule for surviving Zombieland: "Mostly stay in the freezer."

Abby Holland and Harper Caldwell are a couple who have been dating nearly a year. Abby has disliked Christmas since her parents died, so Harper spontaneously invites Abby to celebrate the holidays with her family in her hometown. Abby sees this as the perfect opportunity to introduce herself to Harper's parents and propose to her on Christmas morning. However, on their way to the Caldwells' house, Harper reveals she lied to Abby about coming out to her parents previously; fearing doing so would interfere with her father's campaign for mayor, she doesn't want to come out to her family until after Christmas. She asks Abby to pretend to be her straight roommate for the holiday, to which Abby reluctantly agrees.

At the Caldwells' house, Abby meets Harper's father, Ted, her perfectionist mother, Tipper, and her wacky artistic sister, Jane. The family welcomes Abby as Harper's "orphan friend" who has nowhere else to go for Christmas. Abby becomes uncomfortable, especially when she meets Harper's exes, Connor and Riley. During the visit, she begins questioning how much she knows about her girlfriend when she sees Ted and Tipper's high expectations and Harper's competitive relationship with her older sister, Sloane.

Ted is trying to impress a possible donor from the city council to contribute to his campaign, which Abby unwittingly jeopardizes when Sloane's children put an unpaid-for necklace into her bag during an outing to the mall. Believing she is a shoplifter, Ted and Tipper think it might be better if they keep Abby away from upcoming social events. From this point, Abby feels even more like an outsider. She also learns from Riley that Harper has publicly denied her sexuality ever since she was a high school freshman, which makes Abby worried about the future of their relationship.

At the Caldwells' annual Christmas Eve party, Abby, having tired of her current situation but feeling trapped, is relieved when her good friend John arrives unannounced to pick her up. Harper privately begs her to stay and as they are about to kiss, they are caught by Sloane who prepares to expose their relationship to the family. However, it turns out, Sloane has a secret of her own: she and her husband, Eric, are getting a divorce. The sisters get into a public fight, ruining the party. Sloane outs Harper being a lesbian, which Harper denies immediately. Heartbroken by this, Abby leaves the house. John follows her outside, where the two talk about their stories of coming out to their respective families: Abby's parents were loving and accepting, while John's dad threw him out of the house and didn't talk to him for thirteen years. John reminds Abby that coming out can be terrifying for gay people, but has nothing to do with Harper's love for her.

After realizing that her fear of rejection caused her to hurt Riley and will cause her to lose Abby, Harper finally tells the truth to her parents, confirming that she is a lesbian. This inspires Sloane to reveal her own secret and even Jane tells her parents how neglected she felt throughout the years. Despite all this, Abby still departs with John, feeling that she has been too hurt to give Harper another chance.

Tipper confronts Ted and details the emotional pain their daughters have clearly experienced as a result of their parenting choices, and how Tipper herself has felt constrained by their need to present as a "perfect" family.

Harper goes after Abby to apologize, confessing that she truly loves her and wants to build a life with her. Touched by her words, and with encouragement from John, Abby forgives her and they share a kiss.

Ted apologizes to his daughters for making them feel they always had to meet his standard of perfection. Then he gets a phone call from the donor he's been trying to impress, who will support him only if Harper suppresses any details about her personal life. Ted then rejects the offer. The Caldwells then take a family picture, with Abby included this time.

One year later, Abby and Harper are now engaged and Jane has become a bestselling author with her fantasy novel, ''The Shadow Dreamers''. On Christmas Eve, the family goes to the cinema to watch ''It's a Wonderful Life''. As the movie starts, Abby and Harper smile at each other lovingly.

While tipping a delivery man, Charles accidentally leaves his keys in his apartment and finds himself locked out. The inconvenience soon turns into a day of befriending neighbors he never met prior to today, reflection on his recent break-up, and self-exploration,

The novel alternates among the perspectives of three women, presented as portions of a manuscript written by one (the ''Ardua Hall Holograph'') and testimonies by the other two.

Lydia, a divorced judge, is imprisoned with other women in a stadium during the establishment of Gilead. After enduring weeks of squalid conditions and solitary confinement, she and a small group of other women are handpicked by Commander Judd and Vidala, a pre-existing supporter of Gilead, to become Aunts—an elite group of women tasked with creating and overseeing the laws and uniforms governing Gilead's women. The Aunts use Ardua Hall as their headquarters and enjoy certain privileges that include reading "forbidden" texts, such as Cardinal John Henry Newman's ''Apologia Pro Vita Sua''. In secret, Aunt Lydia despises Gilead and becomes a mole supplying critical information to the Mayday resistance organization.

Fifteen years after the events of ''The Handmaid's Tale'', a girl named Agnes Jemima is growing up in Boston as the adopted daughter of Commander Kyle and his wife Tabitha. Agnes has a loving relationship with Tabitha, who later dies of ill health. Agnes and her classmates Becka and Shunammite attend an elite preparatory school for the daughters of Commanders, where they are taught to run a household, but not to become literate. Once widowed, Commander Kyle marries Paula, the widow of a deceased Commander, who despises Agnes. Desiring a child for herself, she acquires a Handmaid, who successfully conceives but later dies giving birth to a son. Agnes is arranged to be married to Commander Judd, now a high-ranking official in charge of the Eyes and surveilling the population of Gilead.

Learning that she is the daughter of a Handmaid, Agnes manages to escape her arranged marriage by becoming a Supplicant, a prospective Aunt. In that pursuit she joins Becka, whose father—Doctor Grove, a prominent dentist—has been sexually abusing her and his other underage female patients for years. Later, Agnes is anonymously provided with files highlighting the corruption and hypocrisy at the heart of Gilead, specifically evidence of adultery between Commander Kyle and Paula and their plots to murder their respective spouses since divorce is prohibited. She also learns that she is the half-sister of "Baby Nicole", a girl who was smuggled out of Gilead to Canada by her Handmaid mother when she was young (and whose return the government of Gilead has been demanding).

Meanwhile, a girl named Daisy—several years younger than Agnes—grows up in Toronto's Queen Street West with her adoptive parents, Neil and Melanie. The couple owns a second-hand clothes shop serving as a front for Mayday to smuggle women out of Gilead. On her 16th birthday, Daisy's adoptive parents are murdered by undercover Gilead operatives. Daisy is spirited into hiding by several Mayday operatives, who reveal that Daisy is actually Nicole. The Mayday operatives enlist her in a mission to infiltrate Gilead to obtain valuable intelligence from their mysterious mole. Nicole poses as a street urchin named Jade to be recruited by the Pearl Girls (Gilead missionaries who lure foreign women to Gilead with the promise of a better life), who take her up and bring her into Gilead.

The disguised Nicole is placed under the care of Agnes and Becka, who are now respectively named Aunts Victoria and Immortelle. Aunt Lydia confirms that "Jade" is Nicole through a tattoo and discloses her true identity and parentage to Agnes and Becka. Revealing herself as Mayday's mole, Aunt Lydia enlists the three young women to smuggle incriminating information about Gilead's elite into Canada. Nicole is tasked with carrying the files inside a microdot on her cruciform tattoo. Agnes and Nicole are to enter Canada disguised as Pearl Girls, with Nicole impersonating Becka. The real Becka, disguised as Jade, is to remain at the Hall and provide a diversion once Nicole is found missing. Forced to hasten their plans when Commander Judd learns about Nicole's presence and intends to marry her, Agnes and Nicole set out early, where they hospitalise Aunt Vidala in the process. They travel by bus and on foot, then by boat along the Penobscot River. This boat takes them to a larger vessel which brings them into Canadian waters. Agnes and Nicole manage to reach Campobello Island by an inflatable and are picked up by a Mayday team. Meanwhile, Aunt Lydia, to buy Agnes and Nicole some more time and to secure her own position at Ardua Hall, tells Aunt Elizabeth that Aunt Vidala accused her of attacking her, expecting Elizabeth to kill Vidala.

Using the information inside Nicole's microdot, the Canadian media leaks scandalous information about Gilead's elite, which leads to a purge that in turn causes a military coup, bringing about the collapse of Gilead and the subsequent restoration of the United States. Agnes and Nicole are reunited with their mother. Becka dies while hiding in a cistern to perpetuate the ruse that "Jade" had run off with a plumber. Lydia, the author of the ''Ardua Hall Holograph'', closes her story by describing her plan to commit suicide with a morphine overdose before she can be questioned and executed.

The novel concludes with a metafictional epilogue, described as a partial transcript at the Thirteenth Symposium on Gileadean Studies in 2197, presented by Professor James Darcy Pieixoto. He talks about the challenges in verifying the authenticity of the ''Ardua Hall Holograph'' and the two witness transcripts by Agnes and Nicole. He also speculates that Agnes and Nicole's Handmaid mother could be Offred of the previous book, though he himself admits to not being sure. He concludes by mentioning the statue that was made commemorating Becka for her actions, its dedication having been attended by Agnes and Nicole, their husbands and children, their mother and their respective fathers.

Stahl orders Zobelle released from prison, as he is an FBI informant with information on several high-up players in government and in the Aryan Brotherhood. Zobelle refuses police escort, and the Mayans arrive in Charming to protect their investment in him. Zobelle's plans to skip town are delayed while Polly says goodbye to Edmond. Weston is also released, as Chuck's testimony is deemed unreliable because he is an ex-felon. Weston retrieves his children from state custody and uses their presence to protect himself from SAMCRO's reprisal. SAMCRO is able to isolate him in the bathroom of a tattoo parlor, where Jax kills him with a silenced pistol. Cameron Hayes calls his son Edmond, and orders him to kill Agent Stahl to prove his loyalty to the IRA. Edmond retrieves a gun hidden in his bathroom, but fails to execute. Stahl kills him when he attempts to run, then texts Cameron from his phone claiming that the deed is done. Meanwhile, Gemma spots Polly shopping for flowers and follows her to Edmond's home. Polly goes inside and sees Edmond's body, and when Gemma follows her in with her gun drawn, Polly assumes that Gemma killed Edmond and tries to shoot her. Gemma shoots Polly in the chest before the latter can, killing her, and Stahl emerges, offering Gemma a chance to get out before she is pursued. As Gemma turns to leave, Stahl tosses Gemma her own 9mm, and Gemma catches it instinctively. Stahl trains Polly's pistol on Gemma and tells her to drop the gun; Stahl plans to use Gemma's fingerprints to frame her for both deaths. Gemma calls Unser, who picks her up before the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ATF can. Zobelle and the Mayans leave without Polly; SAMCRO takes off in hot pursuit. When Stahl reports the killing of Polly and Edmond over the radio, Cameron Hayes overhears over the report on a police scanner. Seeking revenge, he goes to Jax's house, holds up Tara, and kidnaps Abel. When Half-Sack tries to stop him, he is stabbed in the stomach. Jax arrives to find Sack dead, Tara tied up, and Abel missing. He calls Clay, who pulls the rest of the men pursuing Zobelle to rescue his grandchild. They chase Hayes to a marina, but it is too late: Hayes has disembarked in his gunrunning boat, Abel in tow.

As part of a scientific experiment, a baby is born and its gender is kept a secret from the world. This child, Baby X, is adopted by Ms. and Mr. Jones, who promise to raise the child without imbuing it with traditional gender roles. The Joneses raise X by mixing toys and clothes meant for both girls and boys. When X begins school, its classmates try to determine X's gender but are unable to do so. X excels in all areas of its schooling and remains kind and caring to classmates, ultimately leading them to begin rejecting normative gender roles as well.

The parents of X's schoolmates become concerned and forbid them from playing with X. At a meeting of the Parents' Association, they decide X must be examined by an impartial group of experts. Upon examination, the experts announce that X is perfectly healthy and well-adjusted, and that its gender will be known one day. The Parents' Association reluctantly abides by the determination of the experts and allows their children once more to play with X. The children go to visit X later on and find it playing with its new baby sibling, Y.

With his parents’ permission, Mara leaves with Augie to take him to a doctor, promising them that she will always be there for him.

The novel is presented in three basic parts:

Part one

Introduces the protagonist, paleoanthropologist Dr. Barbara Marchando, her African-American family history and her heritage. Marchando is visiting her family during Thanksgiving, recovering from a recent, bitter divorce, prompting her to seek time alone to explore an attic. She discovers her ancestor Zebulon's diary which yields an account of the arrival of strange, new animal slaves dying from disease soon after arriving and provides motivation for digging on the grounds of the family's former plantation home. The dig is originally intended to identify the approximate location of a rumored pre-Civil War slave graveyard. A large section of the graveyard is found. A smaller separate section of graves yields skeletal remains that all display the same cranial and other bodily disfigurements. To the Dr.'s trained eye they resemble skulls known in fossil records as ''Australopithecus'', a human ancestral species that died out some 1,400,000 years before. However, these remains are at most two centuries old. They are classified as an example of the subspecies ''Australopithecus boisei''. The skeletons' classification and confirmed recent dates of death are impossible according to the accepted fossil record. Despite attempts to maintain a low profile, word of the unexpected findings leak to media. Skeptics express disbelief and ridicule the doctor's conclusions, jeopardizing her reputation and career.

Part two

Research of old town records disclose the sale of a new, heartier type of slave to the former plantation's master. The vessel bringing the 'new type slave' cargo is listed by name through the shipment manifest and its port of origin in Africa is identified. Marchando wins funding to visit the African port city and search for traces of what might have been a small enclave of humans displaying traits of an early human ancestor. After several unsuccessful excursions, a promising lead at last points to a remote, isolated and unfriendly group of villagers as a source of 'worker beasts'. A translator, armed escort, Marchando and several companions make plans to visit the isolated group. Marchando and the translator question the chief about stories of white men coming long ago to buy 'worker beasts' from the village and if they might help find where such 'beasts' lived. After an agreement for information is arranged, a young, dirty, naked and malnourished ''Australopithecus boisei'' female is led by collar and leash into the hut and handed over as purchased property. Aghast, Marchando realizes she has unintentionally traded a few goods and tools for a living fossil. The chief advises that the trade is fair and that most of the village has at least one beast to perform work they avoid. As the translator explains that undoing the exchange with the chief would prove insulting & dangerous, Marchando and her team leave with the nervous, but otherwise docile female. The doctor and team set about making plans to return to the port city and sedate the female while arrangements are made to transition her to Europe and eventually the United States. The female Boisei is given the name "Thursday" by Marchando. This is both a reference to the day she was found, and is a literary reference to the character of Friday in ''Robinson Crusoe''.

Part three

Despite efforts to maintain secrecy, word leaks. Upon reaching a research hospital facility outside Washington D.C., and publication of the find, the shock to the scientific community and general public is intense. Marchando and other researchers are successful in teaching Thursday to communicate by sign language. Thursday is soon found capable of reasoning, compassion and understanding abstract ideas like time and family; far beyond any ape's cognition. The question arises, "what is Thursday"? She obviously is not a ''Homo sapiens'' nor an ape (''Hominidae''). Genetic testing reveals she is partly ''hybrid'' from past interbreeding of her ancestors and human captors, further confusing her status as a species. Conflicting ideas on her rights emerge. They're seen variously as better substitutes for chimpanzees in medical testing, an easily trained labor force, potentially living organ banks, essentially a future slave race to be considered as beasts or property. Other research centers begin plans to obtain more boisei from Africa, as specimens for study and zoos. As a descendant herself of slaves, Marchando finds this unthinkable. Authorities begin efforts to access and control Thursday in the "interest of science", endangering her safety and life. Marchando is desperate to protect Thursday and prove she should be treated as human. She tracks Thursday's ovulation and secretly conducts an artificial insemination using sperm frozen years ago by her ex-husband. When Thursday becomes several months pregnant, she ignites a legal and moral firestorm over whether to permit her pregnancy to come full term. Before a legal decision can be reached, Thursday births a healthy, mixed female child resembling both herself and a human biological father, thus demonstrating Thursday's full genetic compatibility with modern humanity.

The novel draws parallels between the conventional thinking of centuries ago that humans from Africa were not truly human beings worthy of rights. The novel's ending is left open for interpretation on what it means to be human and where a line, if any, can be drawn between ourselves and our ancestors.

She meets Hinga (played by Innocent Mungai), a man from a decent background with a good job, who is stranded with a flat tire near the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, and together with her gang, they rob him of all his valuables. In a twist of fate, the two eventually fall in love, despite the fact that Hinga is engaged to Ciru (Maureen Njau), a demanding and controlling woman of his same societal background. Hinga eventually helps Nina to track down his valuables as well as evade the authorities.

A group of old friends and their partners meet up one evening for a dinner party hosted by Marie and Vincent. A rare lunar eclipse is also expected to occur on the same evening. At the dinner table, after hearing of Ben's questionably humorous story of a woman who found out about her husband's extramarital affairs only upon his death at the hospital after looking through the messages on his unlocked mobile phone, the group then starts discussing their phone lock settings and sharing information on their phones with their partners. To spice up the dinner, Marie then suggests a game where everyone surrenders their phones to the centre of the table and any messages, emails, or calls received on anyone's phone would have to be shared with everyone else. As the game progresses, more secrets begin to unravel, putting doubts on their friendships and marriages.

The film follows the life of musician Nick Koenig, better known as Hot Sugar. He creates his music by using the sounds around him. Having broken up with rapper girlfriend Kitty, he goes to Paris in search of unique sounds.

Set during World War I, the novel follows Rosalba Donsante, a young Italian woman, from Europe to the fictional island of Sirene. After a brief romance with Lulu de Randan, the daughter of a Countess, Rosalba returns to Sirene for the season with her English lover, Aurora "Rory" Freemantle. Rosalba's primary motivation when selecting her lovers is monetary, as she has little money of her own, and must appeal to her grandmother whenever she needs ready cash. Frustrated with this arrangement, she turns to her regular lover Rory once again, as Rory comes from a landed English family. Rosalba does not desire a lasting romantic attachment to any of her lovers, while Rory repeatedly expressing the desire for a life-long partner, putting them at frequent odds.

While visiting Sirene, Rory attempts to cement her relationship with Rosalba by purchasing a villa on the island, which she plans to restore. With the purchase of the villa, Rory hopes to create a home for her lover, and through this home, she intends to bind Rosalba to her for the rest of their lives. Rosalba is not inclined to be faithful to Rory, and sets into motion a series of emotional and romantic affairs with other visitors to the island, including Cleo Gazay, a pianist; Janet Royale, an American heiress; and finally Olimpia Leigh, an opera singer.

In a planned romantic gesture, Rory throws a party for the entire island once the villa is properly renovated and ready for occupation. Rosalba agrees to the party, but attempts to use the party for her own ends, as her final lover, Olimpia, has lost interest in her. Throughout the evening, Rosalba ignores Rory and their other guests, focusing her attention on Olimpia alone. The other guests at the party are unable to ignore Rosalba's behavior, and Rory is forced to confront the fact that Rosalba will never be faithful to her, preferring to work towards her own ends rather than in a partnership with Rory.

After the disastrous party, Rory is unable to forgive Rosalba and refuses to travel with her back to Europe, instead staying at the villa on Sirene alone. The ending of the novel is hopeful that Rory will be able to live a life without Rosalba.

The book initially takes place in the modern day, when Yang, an aspiring artist, who had recently graduated from university, goes to her parents' residence in Carmel, California, to escape a former boyfriend and stalker she names "Rotten Egg". - Posted online on December 22, 2010. Her father, Zu-Wu Joseph Yang, tells her about the life of her grandfather in Mainland China and how the family was affected by the Second Sino-Japanese War/World War II as well as the Chinese Civil War and subsequent establishment of the People's Republic of China. Her grandfather fought in the first conflict while in Manchuria. Ryan Holmberg of ''Yishu: Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art'' stated that the author "is predictably and entirely unsympathetic to the Communists."

The story alternates between the past and the present day. Holmberg described it as "symptomatically a book without a present tense" as Yang only briefly lived in Asia.
