Charlie and Pete, two American backpackers in Mexico, are led to the isolated town of Santana after their bus breaks down by a mysterious old woman wearing a black shroud. In town, they meet fellow displaced American Enrique Samuel "Sam" Flaherty who bartends at a local restaurant. He tells them a local legend about how the founder of Santana saved its population from a plague by outwitting the Devil. The people were spared but the Devil cursed the town and returns once a year for one day with his legion of demons to roam the streets and have his revenge. Peter and Charlie are invited to leave with Sam and his daughter, knowing the entire town including lodgings will be empty. When Sam's daughter, Angela, gets trapped playing hide-and-seek, Sam goes to the local priest, Father Dominic, whom is a close friend. Dominic regretfully says he cannot help but Sam implies he knows about Dominic's dark past and will remain in town to find his daughter even if he has to "face Him."

At the last minute, Pete and Charlie attempt to leave but after nightfall a storm forces them to look for shelter. Hooded demons carrying torches, whips, and halberds begin leading captives through the streets. Almost running into some, the duo are welcomed into a mansion by a man named Octavio, his servant Martin, and daughter Maria. Their safety is insured as long as they remain and Pete becomes smitten with Maria. Charlie does not want to stay and goes back into the streets, where he runs into Sam, still searching for his daughter. He warns Charlie to get out of town or face "the one with the third hand." Charlie returns to Octavio and demands answers. Meanwhile, Maria has seduced Pete and tells him he has seen her somewhere before: the broken down bus. Octavio tells the legend of Santana, revealing that he was the conquistador who founded the town. He and Maria accepted eternal exile in their safe haven while the Devil and his minions roam free. Anyone who stays in town during the Devil's 24-hour presence will be trapped unless they escape at dawn.

Pete decides to leave with Charlie and they see Sam, beaten and being led in ranks with others to the Devil's altar. There they witness Sam, among others, mounted to crucifixes before the Devil who burns his third hand print on their bodies. They find Sam after and, with his dying breath, asks Charlie to give Dominic a message. The two are discovered and chased into the streets. Pete allows them to follow him while Charlie doubles back to meet him at Octavio's but the mansion is locked. Hearing the church bell for dawn, Charlie runs out of the city and collapses in a field. In the morning, he is awakened by Angela. Charlie goes to Father Dominic and gives him Sam's message: forgiveness and thanks for keeping his word to take his life in exchange for Angela's. Dominic reveals that he is the one cursed to wear the glove of the Devil. His fate befell him when he bargained for his sister, whom Sam married, to be given a merciful death when she became trapped in Santana years ago. Dominic hopes he will die before the next year, not wanting to endure his curse any further. Charlie wonders who would wear the Devil's glove and Dominic ominously tells him that is Satan's choice.

One year later, Charlie has been running Sam's restaurant and taking care of Angela. A man hired by Pete's parents arrives looking for him. Charlie tells him he will be meeting up with Pete later. After nightfall, Charlie goes directly to Octavio's mansion so the two can escape. Pete says he is happy to see Charlie as the gates open and the Devil stands before him. Hooded demons grab Charlie and drag him to his fate while the Devil's minions roam the streets of Santana.

On the day before his second wedding, a man finds out that his bride-to-be has had a baby.

Gwen, a young farm girl in North Wales, is out playing with her sister Mary. They pass a neighbouring farmhouse where a group of men are tending to some dead bodies. The village doctor says that the entire family died of cholera. Gwen is chastised by her mother for being late and for burning their supper. Her father is not around, for an undisclosed reason. During the night, Gwen wakes and hears a commotion outside, she goes outside but is unable to see anything because of the stormy weather.

The next day, the family goes to church. As they leave, Gwen's mother has a brief conversation with a man, which seems to leave both of them disturbed. On their return home, they find an animal heart nailed to their front door. The heart is thrown into the fireplace and Gwen's mother seems to go into a trance. The following day, Gwen finds their crops have spoiled. That night, Gwen asks about the man her mother spoke to, and asks if she is planning to sell the house, which her mother denies.

The following day, Gwen awakes to see her mother standing in the pasture among their entire flock of sheep, all of which are dead and mutilated. Gwen goes to investigate the house of the neighbours who died. She observes bloody hand prints throughout the house and rotting food on the table as if something sudden and violent had happened. Mother finds her in the house and it is revealed that the neighbours' sheep died in a similar way before the family died. Later, Mother chastises Gwen for entering the house and refuses to listen when Gwen points out the similarities to their own situation.

Back at home, Mother has a violent seizure. Gwen puts her to bed and takes care of Mary. The next day, though still weak and ill, Mother insist on going to church, where she experiences another seizure, prompting attention from the village doctor, Doctor Wren. He prescribes three bottles of a tonic wine, as they have no money, Gwen takes one bottle with the promise to pay him back after the next market. Wren says that the payment is due to the Quarry, which owns his practice. With her mother still ill, Gwen goes to retrieve eggs from the hen but finds that a rat has destroyed the eggs. After supper, Gwen finds her mother cutting her arms and letting the blood flow into a bowl.

The following day, Gwen bags up vegetables to sell at the market. While at the market, the villagers seem to be intentionally ignoring Gwen as she attempts to sell vegetables. She notices she is getting odd, unsettling looks from some people. A young man who smiled at Gwen in church attempts to buy some carrots from her but his father forces him to leave. As she returns home, a flash of lightning frightens her horse, which escapes and runs off.

It later returns to the farm with severely injured legs, and needs to be put down. Men from the Quarry come to the farm to see Mother. Gwen eavesdrops on the conversation, and hears the men claim Gwen stole the tonic (which is Quarry property) and offer to overlook the theft if she sells the land. Mother sends them away and attempts to force Gwen to chop up the horse for meat as punishment. When Gwen refuses, Mother begins angrily hacking off the horse's head with a hatchet, and has another seizure. That night, Gwen has a nightmare about her mother being possessed.

Mother instructs Gwen to retrieve a letter from a box and tells her it arrived shortly after Father left. As Gwen reads the letter she discovers that Father is not returning, for reasons that are unclear, and that Mother has been concealing this from the girls.

A man approaches the farmhouse at night with a dagger. Mother goes outside to investigate and Gwen wakes up and follows. While outside the man approaches them, hits Mother and drags her back to the house, locking Gwen outside. Gwen retrieves a hatchet and breaks the lock. The man attacks Gwen and tries to choke her. Mother seizes the opportunity and slits the man's throat with the dagger he dropped. Knowing more men are coming, she tells Gwen to get Mary. The man from the quarry arrives with a band of men. He hits Gwen's mother and pours liquid on her. He sets her on fire and tells the men to burn down the house.

Gwen and Mary escape into the hills and are watching from a distance. Mary asks Gwen where they will go. Gwen tells Mary they will go find their father.

Karen (Marrero), reeling from the end of a same-sex relationship, seeks refuge in her ex's lake house and meets Lana (Sweeney), a provocative young woman with whom she explores a complicated new relationship.

In a group text, Athena Stone anticipates an upcoming 'hunt of deplorables' at a manor house. A number of 'elite' people are aboard a private jet. A man named Randy emerges from the cargo hold. He is subdued by one of the other male passengers, who stabs him in the neck to stop him from talking about 'this' - to which Richard states that nothing has happened yet. Another hunter, called Ted the Doctor, tries putting Randy to sleep but he then grabs the champagne bottle and starts swinging it around until Athena stabs him through the eye with a stiletto heel, killing him. He is then dragged back into the hold and laid down next to an unconscious woman, called Yoga Pants.

Ten captives including Yoga Pants wake up gagged in a forest. In a clearing, they find a cache of weapons and keys to their gags, but upon retrieving them, Yoga Pants and another captive are shot and killed from a nearby pillbox. Another captive, Dead Sexy, makes a run for it and falls in a trap, a captive called Shane runs and rescues her, stepping on a land mine right after, killing him and mortally wounding Dead Sexy, who is found by another captive called Staten Island, whose gun she steals and uses to kill herself.

Staten Island tries to escape over a barbed wire fence, running into a captive called Target, along with two others named Vanilla Nice and Big Red. Everyone but Target makes it across, who is shot by multiple arrows. The trio leaves Target to die and flee into a filling station, whose owners Miranda "Ma" and Julius "Pop" identify their location to be in Arkansas. The trio, each kidnapped from a different part of the United States, realises their situation's similarity to the "Manorgate" conspiracy theory. Big Red eats a poisoned doughnut, and Ma and Pop reveal themselves to be in league with their captors and kill Staten Island before finishing off Vanilla Nice. They then communicate with the other hunters via radio.

Crystal, one of the captives, arrives and after asking to buy some cigarettes, attacks suddenly, grabbing the shotgun under the counter and shooting Pa, killing him. She states that the price is too high for cigarettes in Arkansas, and kills Ma. She inspects her surroundings and discovers that the license plate of a truck outside is a fake with a real Croatian one beneath. A drone is released to survey the area when the other hunters are unable to contact Ma and Pop via radio. Another captive, a conspiracy theorist and podcaster named Gary, appears and shoots down the drone.

They board a railroad car full of refugees, whom Gary believes to be crisis actors; the train is then raided by Croatian soldiers. Gary tries to convince the soldiers that "Manorgate" is real when a refugee, revealed to be a hunter named Crisis Mike, admits to Gary that he is indeed one of the hunters but the others are innocent. He reveals the raid was unplanned and offers a head start if Gary cooperates. Gary takes a grenade from Crisis Mike and uses it to kill him. Crystal is then taken to a refugee camp where she meets another captive called Don. Oliver, an envoy from the U.S. Embassy in Zagreb, arrives to take them to the embassy. During the drive, Oliver probes into why they were selected for the hunt. Suspicious, Crystal kicks Oliver out of the car and runs him over. They find Gary's body in the trunk with a box marked "bribe money" and a map.

At the pillbox, Oliver's intended destination, the hunters - the passengers from the private jet - reveal their contempt for right-wingers and the purpose of the hunt. Don releases a pig into the bunker, and in the ensuing panic the hunters shoot the pig and almost shoot each other. Crystal kills most of the hunters, then wounds tactical consultant Sgt. Dale, who was there to defend the hunters in case of an ambush. Athena calls out to Don via radio, asking if he killed Crystal. Don says he doesn't know Athena and he refuses to disarm, aiming his gun at Crystal, and she kills him. Crystal tortures Sgt. Dale to get Athena's location before she shoots and kills him.

A flashback reveals that Athena's group text was a joke. However, it was leaked on the internet, creating furor over "Manorgate". Subsequently, the group text's participants' careers were ruined, including Athena, who gets fired by her bosses. They decide to make "Manorgate" a reality and abduct those responsible for spreading the conspiracy theory. Athena had insisted that Crystal be included in the hunt after seeing a post that specifically targeted her.

Crystal finds Athena, and asks whether Don was part of the hunt. She does not confirm or deny that he was. Crystal insists that Athena has confused her with another woman from the same city, with the same first but a differently spelled middle name. The two fight and impale one another on the blades of a food processor. Athena succumbs to her injuries, but Crystal recovers. She cauterizes her wound with a blowtorch from the kitchen, takes Athena's clothes, a bottle of champagne and Athena's dog, and climbs aboard her jet, explaining to the shocked crew that she has killed their bosses and wants to go home.

According to early Islamic traditions, al-Nadirah ( ''an-Naḍīrah''; ''Nazirah'') was the daughter of al-Dayzan or Satirun (Sanatruq II), the king of Araba. She betrayed the fortified capital, Hatra, to the Persian king Shapur I after seeing and falling in love with him while he was besieging the city. She did this by intoxicating her father and the guards of the city gates, or by revealing to the enemy the talisman on which the city's ownership depended. Shapur I captured and destroyed Hatra and killed its king. He departed with al-Nadirah and married her at Ayn al-Tamr. One night al-Nadirah could not sleep, complaining that her bed is too rough for her. It then turned out that a myrtle leaf was stuck in her skin and was irritating her. Astonished by her softness, Shapur I asked her how did her father bring her up, and she described how well he treated her. Shapur I realizes al-Nadirah's ingratitude towards her father and has her executed in a brutal manner.

It is the fall of 2000. Alice is a sexually inexperienced but curious junior at a strict Midwestern co-ed Catholic high school, where Father Murphy instructs her Morality class that any sexual activity not aimed toward procreation within a heterosexual marriage is a sin, with eternal damnation as punishment. She struggles with accepting her burgeoning feelings of sexual desire after both Father Murphy and her best friend, Laura, cause her to feel ashamed of them.

The following Monday, the school is abuzz with a rumor that Alice "tossed the salad" of a classmate, Wade, at Laura's party over the weekend. Alice denies this, admitting to not knowing what the phrase means. The rumor reaches Mrs. Veda, who prevents Alice from serving at Mass. Later that day, during the sacrament of reconciliation, Alice confesses venial sins to Father Murphy and receives a light penance of twenty prayers, which she immediately and fervently fulfills in the school chapel, Father Murphy and Mrs. Veda's words about sex echoing in her mind.

Alice and Laura both decide to attend the school's next "Kirkos" spiritual retreat— Alice to return to the path of righteousness, and Laura to be accepted by Nina, a popular senior. When they arrive on the retreat campgrounds, Laura is excited to find that Nina is a retreat leader, while Alice eyes Chris, a hunky senior who is also a retreat leader. Chris is friendly and enthusiastic, and after Alice is assigned to his group, the two begin to bond. That night, while playing on her contraband cell phone, Alice accidentally discovers that she can pleasure herself using her phone's vibrating feature; however, she stops soon after looking at the crucifix hanging in her room.

On the second day of the retreat, Alice fakes an injury on a hike to get closer to Chris. Nina confiscates Alice's phone; and, as a punishment, Father Murphy assigns Alice to cleaning duties around the retreat house. Once she is alone, she logs onto an AOL chat room from Father Murphy's office computer to ask what "tossing salad" means; before she can find out, the sound of footsteps causes her to hastily shut off the computer and leave. She runs into Nina, who lightheartedly guilts Alice about Alice's presumed sexual encounter with Wade, another instance of Alice's inability to be free of the rumor even while "on Jesus's time."

On the third day of the retreat, Father Murphy announces his discovery of an explicit chat on his computer; of course, no one claims responsibility. He later pushes Alice to confess to acting on her sexual temptations with Wade, and doesn't believe her insistence that nothing happened. Alice confronts Wade about his complicity in the rumor's spread by failing to deny it, and he leaves without admitting his fault or apologizing. Again on cleaning duty, Alice witnesses Nina kissing, then fellating, another senior leader in the woods; Alice shares this with Laura, who refuses to believe Alice, accuses Alice of breaking into Father Murphy's office, and ends their friendship, calling Alice a "pervy psycho." Alice returns to Father Murphy's office and frames Wade for the earlier break-in; while hiding to make her escape, she catches Father Murphy masturbating to a pornographic video saved on his computer. Outside, finding herself alone with Chris, Alice kisses him, but he becomes overwhelmed and runs away. That night, Alice flees the campgrounds and stumbles upon a lesbian bar, where she and the owner, Gina, commiserate about how the fear of damnation can warp an adolescent's development. Gina counsels Alice and gives her a ride back to the retreat, encouraging Alice to look into colleges on the West and East Coasts and finally assuaging Alice's curiosity about what "tossing salad" means.

On the last day of the retreat, Alice befriends a socially awkward classmate while Father Murphy pulls Wade aside. With Wade on the hook for the explicit chat incident, Laura makes peace with Alice. At a whole-group sharing session, Alice reminds the retreat attendees that everyone is "hiding stuff" and implores them to treat each other with honesty and respect, as Jesus wanted.

Back at school, Alice reassures a still-uncomfortable Chris that they can just be friends. Returning to reconciliation with Father Murphy, Alice boldly reveals that while on the retreat she saw a video of people having sex—both of them knowing, but not discussing, the implications of her confession. Father Murphy assigns a heavier penance of one hundred prayers, but instead of remaining in the chapel, Alice goes home to rewatch and masturbate to the sex scene in ''Titanic''.

Christopher (Robert Behling) and Celia (Jane Lyle) rent a home on the Greek island of Mykonos for their purported honeymoon. The locals believe them to be a normal newlywed couple; however, Christopher and Celia are in fact sexual sadists and murderers, and have left London in order to venture on a killing spree abroad.

The morning after their arrival, Christopher, aroused, rapes a goat and then kills it. The two then meet a French painter who is attracted to Celia. The two nail him to the ground in a crucifixion pose and pour paint down his throat until he chokes to death. They then dump his body in the ocean. While getting acquainted with the island locals, the couple meets Patricia (Jessica Dublin), a wealthy older woman, and are invited to a gay wedding between a middle-aged American on the island and his Greek lover. Christopher and Celia break into the couple's house on their wedding night. Christopher chases the elderly man into the streets before stabbing him to death; Celia shoots his lover in the head with a pistol and stages it as a murder-suicide.

After this, the couple kills Foster (Gerard Gonalons), an American police officer who had been trailing them, by hanging him from his plane and flying it over the ocean.

The next day, while Christopher goes fishing, two hippies attempt to rape Celia while she is taking a bath. However, Christopher returns home to discover them in the act leading him to murder one with a speargun and drown the other in the toilet.

Christopher decides to target a local lesbian bartender, Leslie (Jannice McConnell), who is romantically interested in Celia. Celia visits her house, and Leslie invites her to do heroin; Christopher then enters and knocks her unconscious before injecting her with a lethal dosage. After she dies, he uses an aerosol spray and a candle to burn her face.

Celia begins to dream of a mysterious man and worries that the small size of the island will lead to police suspecting her and Christopher in the string of deaths. When a local crime writer finds Leslie's body, the police begin to search for Christopher and Celia. They flee to a remote farm on the island to hide, and meet a mute shepherd who turns out to be the man whom Celia has been having premonitions of. It is then revealed that Christopher and Celia are in fact brother and sister and have been engaged in an incestuous relationship. The next morning, the shepherd rapes Celia in the barn and then knocks Christopher unconscious before anally raping him. He then throws Christopher into a lye pit, and Celia becomes attached to the stranger. A rainstorm arrives on the island, and Christopher dies in the lye pit while Celia and the shepherd engage in sex.

Quiet and shy high school student Misuzu Moritani has the ability to stop time for three minutes every day. One day, as classmate Yukari Kobayashi enquires whether or not she's interested in joining a club, she stops time and runs down to the courtyard to take a peek at Haruka Murakami's panties. Murakami is the most popular girl in the school. To her surprise, Moritani finds out Murakami is the only person unaffected by her power.

The next day, Moritani stops time again and runs out of the classroom, Murakami in tow. In the hallway, Murakami asks her if she likes her, and whether she's free the following Sunday. When they meet up on Sunday, Murakami designates it a date, startling Moritani. Whilst shopping at a lingerie store, Murakami spots her boyfriend Tamaki, a classmate of both hers and Moritani's, with a girl from another class. Proclaiming him to be her ex, Murakami says she never really loved him in the first place, and walks off. Annoyed, Moritani hoists a pair of panties on Tamaki's face, and urges Murakami to join in with a lipstick.

The days immediately following that, Moritani stops the time every day, digging into everyone's secrets at school. During one such period, Murakami puts Moritani's hand on her bosom after she acknowledges that "somehow, [their] secret time made [her] heart beat faster", and expresses the same feeling. At the gym, Murakami plays basketball, whilst Moritani silently observes how she is well-liked from the sidelines. She unconsciously stops the time, fibbing that she wanted to give Murakami a little break. Back in the classroom, Murakami is helping out several classmates whilst Moritani watches from her desk, and stops time yet again. She reflects on the meaning of this, positing that she wants to have Murakami all to herself.

The next day, whilst Murakami is engaged in a conversation with her friends, Moritani stops time yet again. Murakami confronts her and asks her if she is doing it on purpose, and telling her to stop if it were the case. Moritani slowly feels a gulf build up between her and Murakami, asking herself what she's doing. After a few days pass without Moritani stopping her time, she is in the school's sickbay when Murakami comes to visit. Murakami gently encourages Moritani to say what she wants to say, and as the nurse comes in to check on them, Moritani freezes time and gives her a kiss – Murakami reciprocates.

They agree to start going out. In exchange, Murakami asks Moritani for the two of them to only ever be alone together. In the washroom, she reflects on her loneliness – and hearing several girls gossiping about Murakami, contends that the latter has it worse than her. Whilst sitting for a test, Moritani freezes time yet again, and Murakami stands on her desk and strips – telling her to do whatever she liked with her. They share an intimate moment with each other, and Moritani reflects that "the perfect honour student, Murakami-san, wants to sin". When Moritani asks her to put her clothes back on before time unfreezes, she looks disappointed.

The next day, Kobayashi chats her up, remarking that this is the one time she hasn't disappeared when she was talking to her, and glad to know that she's not hated. The both of them go to eat with their friend group, and one of the girls strikes up a discussion about Murakami. Kobayashi remarks that she's never talked to her, whilst Moritani looks over at Murakami, remarking that she looks lonely. At the end of the school day, Moritani stops time, saying to Murakami that it looked like she was in pain. Murakami doesn't really want to talk about it. The next day, she's napping at her desk when Kobayashi wakes her up and takes her outside for some fresh air. They talk about what kind of job they put down on the career survey, and Kobayashi says she wishes to become a mangaka. Whilst cleaning the hallway, Moritani overhears some of her classmates derisively discussing Kobayashi's career choice – she stops time and snatches Kobayashi's survey answers.

All the while, Murakami was observing from outside the classroom, and confronts Moritani about breaking their promise. To prove her intention of keeping the promise, Moritani lifts her skirt and reveals she's wearing the same underwear as her. Murakami does the same, and time seemingly unfreezes, and they run away as their schoolmates look on. The following day, other students are gossiping about Murakami flashing Moritani – not knowing who it was intended for. Outside, Kobayashi thanks Moritani for retrieving her career survey – Moritani starts confiding in her about her diminishing powers and her relationship with Murakami, albeit pretending it's not about her. Kobayashi counsels her that both Moritani and Murakami both need each other, and that they should talk and work it out. Moritani is happy she was able to talk to someone about it, and Kobayashi is happy because Moritani felt comfortable enough with her to confide in her.

By the lockers, Moritani freezes time again and tells Murakami there's something she wants her to know. Murakami doesn't want to know and runs out of the school, whilst Moritani is attempting to tell her about her powers going away. Murakami tells her that whilst she still has powers, that they should help their classmates out with the little things. Moritani doesn't understand why she wants to do this. Murakami confides in her that she's always been an obedient girl, doing whatever anyone wanted of her. But with Moritani, when Murakami asked her to freeze time, she did so without asking why. She laments that no-one wants to know the real her; Moritani disagrees, and asks to get to know her better – starting by calling on her at home.

On the appointed day, Murakami welcomes Moritani to her home, telling her they would be alone until nightfall. Moritani asks to get to know her better, and Murakami tells her to do whatever she wants to do with her, again. Moritani is put off, and wants to know the real reason behind her behaviour. Murakami takes off her clothes, and tells her it is because this is wants Moritani wants. Again, Moritani asks about the real reason she's going out with her – they are interrupted by the doorbell ringing. Murakami answers the door and hints for Moritani to look in the drawer, under the bed. Moritani finds flipbooks bearing the names, blood types, and dates of birth of the school's students and teachers, along with their likes and dislikes. Murakami reads to Moritani from her flipbook, remarking that "she always reads books by herself, not good at talking with her people, but immediately likes those who talk to her kindly". As well, "she is curious about people, but doesn't have courage – it doesn't matter who her partner is, as long as she's kind". Murakami concludes that only she can make herself stronger, and that sharing secrets with her is how to make her happy.

Moritani objects, whilst Murakami explains how she's been putting on a mask for everyone who interacts with her, adjusted to meet their likes and dislikes. She starts reading from her own flipbook, remarking that "she wants to be liked by everyone, shows a smiling, and that no-one hates her". Beyond that one page, the flipbook proves blank. Moritani returns home, feeling dejected – and that Murakami can't truly love anyone or anything because of this. She does not have any real wishes or wants. Moritani concludes that she needs to stop Murakami from running away and to get her to confront this fact. When Murakami next stands up in class, thinking that the time is frozen, Moritani stands up with her – time unfreezing along – and admits in front of the entire class what they've been up to. Murakami starts to say that they can't be together if she acts like this, but ends up running out of the class. Moritani gives chase and corners her on the stairs, and confronts her about her mask.

Murakami bristles at this, and charges at her, telling her she doesn't know the real her. Moritani tells her that the real her isn't like what's described in the flipbook about her, either. Murakami tells Moritani that all she ever wanted to be was a good girl who didn't stand out, fearing that no-one would like her. Moritani tells Murakami she likes her. She has a heart-to-heart moment of her own, thanking Murakami for reaching out to her even when she was being a loner – and that she respects her. They admit their love for each other. A few months later, Moritani's powers have disappeared entirely, but she's become more outgoing.

Due to his previous work as an OFW and his inability to pay his daughter's tuition, Mario has a strained relationship with PJ, who is still traumatized from failing to save her mother from a fatal stroke. She reunites with her block mates in Block Z: fellow med students and longtime friends Erika and Myles, and Block Z basketball team captain Lucas, who harbors feelings for PJ. Mario accidentally hits a pedestrian who secretly intended to scam him of money, but Mario instead brings the man to San Lazaro's hospital, where he meets with PJ again.

The group passes by the faculty next, but when Ruby sees her zombified mother, she rushes to her and alerts the herd to their location. Ruby is devoured in the process, and the others are forced to leave when Gelo goes to the faculty and locks them out. The group temporarily rests in the dormitory, where they reminisce on their past and PJ and Mario reconcile, but a zombie attacks and bites Mario before it is killed. Mario tells the group to kill him to prevent him from turning, but the group opts to lock him inside the dorm's closet, and he says his final goodbyes to PJ before they leave him. Although the group manages to discover the zombies' weaknesses to headshots and water, their numbers begin dwindling: Myles is mortally wounded by a stray zombie and makes a last stand before he is killed, Bebeth stays behind fending off zombies from the others, and Erika sacrifices herself to let PJ and Lucas escape. The two manage to reach the hospital's rooftop, where Lucas lifts PJ to the helipad before using himself as bait to lure zombies away by jumping off the building.

A sorrowful PJ loses consciousness and awakens the next day with no helicopter in sight. She sees that she has a bite mark in her hand and realizes that she is immune to the virus, so she fights her way back to the dorms, killing several zombies including Angie in the process. PJ reunites with Mario, who is also immune, and the two decide to explore an ancient tunnel underneath the church that Ruby had previously discovered. There, they encounter Gelo, who is delirious from being infected and jaded from being seemingly abandoned by his father. The two manage to evade him and escape through a manhole and leave Gelo to be devoured by approaching zombies.

Romesha clashes with Broward over the captain's strict adherence to the rules of engagement, and pressure from Afghan President Karzai postpones the closing of the base. Carter approaches 1LT Bundermann with the men's concern about Broward's leadership, but is rebuffed.

Larson and Carter lay down covering fire, allowing the others to escape from the armored vehicle. Gallegos and SSG Martin are killed, and despite taking heavy gunfire, Carter rescues wounded SPC Mace. Romesha leads a group of men to successfully secure the front gate, just as air support arrives. As a B-1 bomber drops its payload on the Taliban's position, Carter and Larson carry Mace to the aid station, where CPT Cordova uses fresh blood from himself and others to transfuse Mace. CPT Portis and a quick reaction force arrive, dispatching the last of the insurgents. The remaining soldiers leave by helicopter as the base is demolished, and learn Mace did not survive.

Each time the kingdom has a new bounty, a large horn sounds off, and a new bounty is pinned to a large tree just outside the castle walls. Throughout he is shown taking the bounty, leaving to hunt down his target, then returning with the target's head which he pins to his wall. Many of these hunts leave The Father wounded and maimed, forcing him to use the elixir to heal himself. During one such hunt, he returns on foot after Jakke is killed. Soon after making a grave for his companion and visiting his daughter’s grave, another bounty is posted. Much to his surprise, it is revealed to be the creature responsible for his daughter's death.

Traveling far north to an island, he finds the monster in a cave. After a hard battle he finally decapitates the monster and travels home to pay respects to his daughter. His victory is short-lived as one of his jars containing the elixir he left near his window is knocked over and spills over the creature's decapitated head, bringing it back to life. Discovering what transpired, The Father prepares to hunt down the revived creature as it searches for a new body.

As nightfall arrives, the Father begins a game of wits against the creature, with it digging up the daughter’s grave and attaching its head to her corpse. After a lengthy chase, the Father seemingly kills the creature by severing its head from his daughter's corpse and stabbing it repeatedly in the head.

Reburying his daughter the next morning, the Father returns home. After cleaning up the mess left from the previous night, he leaves the cabin to begin repairs on his armor. While doing so, he suddenly cries out in shock and pain before going silent. A short time passes and he appears to return to the cabin, carrying what appears to be a severed head which is then pinned onto the wall. The Father's severed head is then revealed to be the one that was pinned to the wall, and the creature, its head now attached to the Father's body, leaves taking one of the jars of elixir along with it, gloating as it walks away saying, “Body Mine!”

BoJack works on his new web-series ''Philbert'', an original show from WhatTimeIsItRightNow.com, a company that interviews Todd for a job. The show is co-produced by Princess Carolyn, who mulls an adoption.

In 2019, Felicity Smoak gives birth to Oliver Queen's daughter Mia Smoak. During her growth in secrecy away from Star City in Bloomfield, Mia is trained by Nyssa al Ghul throughout her childhood and into adulthood, until the time the latter is defeated by Mia. After that, Mia is living alone with Felicity, and discovers a hidden room in their house, in which her mother is still secretly operating as a vigilante. Enraged that Felicity did not tell her this, Mia argues with her (recapping that she never left the house, never had a normal education because she never went to school, never went to live in a city), and then runs away, leaving a written note telling Felicity that she is going to Star City. Once there, Mia becomes a cage fighter under the alias "Blackstar". Because she hates Felicity for still being a vigilante, she hates vigilantes, thinking that they ruined Star City instead of saving it.

In 2040, Oliver's son William Clayton and Mia follow Felicity's coordinates to Galaxy One headquarters, climbing the wall surrounding the Glades. They attempt to infiltrate the building and are almost caught, but are saved by Connor Hawke, who reveals himself as an agent of Knightwatch. He tells them that the only place where bombs might be hidden is in sublevels of the building accessed by an undisclosed elevator but, to get to the sublevels, they will need to get Galaxy One head Keven Dale's DNA, which they manage to do. Meanwhile, Dinah Drake, Roy Harper and Zoe Ramirez discover that the terrorist organization Eden Corps, thought to be extinct, uses Galaxy One as a front, and paid the Star City Police Department to fake Felicity's death. Rene Ramirez confronts the three, and reveals that Galaxy One plans to blow up Star City to rebuild it like the Glades, claiming that the city will be evacuated beforehand.

Mia, William and Connor enter the headquarters' sublevels, where they find an imprisoned Felicity, who claims that the building houses the bombs to be used in Star City, and that she would be the scapegoat of the bombings. The others reunite with the group, and Felicity reveals that she became the Calculator to infiltrate Galaxy One/Eden Corps and find out their plans, before they meet Rene, who has learned that the bombs are already on-site and that there are no plans to evacuate. The group infiltrates a masquerade party, where Mia manages to destroy an electronic device held by Dale, and thus, disables the bombs. During the party, Rene had pretended to hate vigilantes to isolate the masked Dale and, after the party, he continues the charade, announcing in a press conference that he is paying rewards for the persons who help capture the three "terrorists" Arsenal (Roy), Black Canary (Dinah), and Calculator (Felicity). Dale unveils a helmet to Rene that would enable Galaxy One to take the Archer program global. Felicity makes amends with Mia, stating that her grudge with Galaxy One is personal. In a flashback set in 2019, Felicity activates Archer in her house.

Adam (Yehoram Gaon) and Asia (Michal Bat-Adam) are a married couple, who no longer have sex. (The reason for this is not revealed in the film, though it is in the novel.) Asia, who is studying for her PhD, faces difficulty with some of the material, which is in Spanish. Adam, a car repair shop owner, asks a customer, Gavriel (Roberto Pollack) to be her translator in lieu of payment for fixing his car.

Gavriel is an Israeli who lives in Argentina, and is visiting in Israel to deal with his dying grandmother's estate. Not realizing how expensive the repairs would be to his grandmother's vintage car, he agrees. After a short time working with Asia, everyone, including Asia and Adam's daughter Daphna ("Dafi"), realize that the two have become lovers.

The year is 1973, and the Yom Kippur War breaks out. Adam pressures Gavriel to enlist, and he disappears, along with his iconic car. The war ends, prisoners are exchanged, and there is still no sign of Gavriel. Adam asks his young Arab worker, Naim, for help – and the two break into the grandmother's apartment, to try and find clues to Gavriel's whereabouts. They discover that the grandmother's health has improved.

The grandmother advises Adam to seek Gavriel at night, not in the day. He begins to work with Naim towing cars from accidents. Dafi joins them, gradually dropping out of school, and growing closer to Naim. Around this time, Dafi's schoolmate Tali sets her sights on Adam – she corners him, undresses in front of him, and in spite of his protestations, touches him. They end up having sex, which Adam then says was a mistake and a moment of weakness.

One night, Adam finds a piece of metal from the car Gavriel is driving at the site of a hit and run accident. The driver of the car that was hit says the other car had Haredim (ultra-orthodox Jews, recognizable by their anachronistic 17th-century black clothing) in it, and sped off towards Jerusalem. Adam goes to a Haredi neighborhood in Jerusalem, Mea Shearim, and finds Gavriel.

Gavriel tells him that he was drafted to fight at the front in the war, and escaped with the help of a Haredi group who came to cheer up the troops. At this same time, Gavriel's grandmother passes away, and Asia tells him he should leave and never come back. When the three of them return to the family home, they find Dafi and Naim after getting dressed, after having sex. Adam drives Naim back to his village and fires him. But before leaving, hands him a package filled with money, so that he can go back to school. Naim refuses to take it. He returns home, and Asia tells him about her separation from Gavriel.

''Angel of the North'' is based on Hugo Simberg's painting: ''The Wounded Angel''. It depicts two teenagers carrying a wounded angel on a stretcher in a barren landscape.

Since its creation in 1903, this work, elected "the most beloved" by the Finns, has become a national enigma because the painter has never provided an explanation for it.

For 89 minutes, people of all ages and all walks of life ponder and give their personal explanation : children, artists, farmers, a priest, a paramedic, a handicapped person, a therapist...

It raises questions about death and the afterlife, Nordic melancholy, art, the existence of angels and hope.

The scene of the painting is reconstructed with actors, and at the end of the film, like a sequel to the painting, the angel is taken by the two boys on a boat to a distant shore. Northern lights against a backdrop of starry night skies illustrate the closing credits.

The story follows pugilist and saloon owner James J. Corbett and his romance with Nob Hill debutante Cynthia Carter. The story takes place from 1897 to 1906 in San Francisco, and featured a moving cable car on stage, a ballet battle of the Tong Wars, and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

Dave Robicheaux, once an officer for the New Orleans Police Department and before that a U.S. Army infantry lieutenant who fought in the Vietnam War, works as sheriff's deputy in New Iberia, Louisiana. When Trish Klein, a beautiful young woman, arrives to Louisiana, passing hundred-dollar bills in local casinos, Robicheaux knows there's going to be trouble. Twenty-five years earlier, while drunk in Florida, Robicheaux witnessed her father, fellow Vietnam veteran Dallas Klein, executed by a group of cold-blooded robbers. Trish tries to bait Whitey Bruxal, the aging mobster responsible for Dallas's death. Meanwhile, Robicheaux investigates the apparent suicide of young co-ed Yvonne Darbonne. The two cases are linked. He and his longtime partner, former Marine and Vietnam vet, Clete Purcel try to prove it.

The film is in black-and-white, proceeding along two timelines that meet at the film's ending.

The first timeline follows Leni Sadeh (Evgenia Dodina), a world-renowned researcher, as she completes errand after errand, with a seeming sense of urgency – she goes to the hair salon, picks up a bathrobe she ordered, meets with a publisher at a cafe to give him a manuscript.

In parallel, Yasmine Nasser (Samira Saraya) is being interrogated at a police station. Yasmine is facing the camera/audience, and the interrogator is only heard, off-camera, with increasing intensity. Yasmine is a nurse at an elder-care facility, and her story is revealed in the course of the interrogation: She left her home to supposedly go to work the night shift, but ended up at a beach-front bar, where she met Leni in a fraught pickup scene. The two women share their respective despairs – Leni has an unrelenting sense of regret about someone she won't talk about, and Yasmine feels trapped by her role as wife and mother, which is not her desire but rather the societal expectation of her.

The encounter between the two women ends in Leni's death, which in hindsight it seems was the point of her entire day of arranging her affairs. However, the interrogator refuses to accept that Yasmine – who does not live up to his expectations as a wife and mother, nor as an Arab woman – is not responsible for the death of the respected academic. He continues to harass and threaten her, until she breaks down and takes responsibility for the death.

The film includes poetry by Mishori, and both of the film's main characters are unpublished poets.

Once an officer for the New Orleans Police Department and before that a U.S. Army infantry lieutenant who fought in the Vietnam War, Robicheaux is living a quiet life in the swamplands of Louisiana with his wife Annie. The couple's tranquility is shattered one day when a drug smuggler's plane crashes in a lake, right before their eyes. Robicheaux succeeds in rescuing a lone survivor, a Salvadoran girl, whom he and Annie quickly adopt and name Alafair. Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Minos P. Dautrieve, however, tells Robicheaux that the plane was connected to Bubba Rocque, the leading drug kingpin in the area, and Robicheaux's childhood friend from New Iberia. Robicheaux must now defend Alafair and Annie from a world of murder and deception.

While fishing on a back country bayou, New Orleans Police Department officer Dave Robicheaux finds a body. Robicheaux, once a U.S. Army infantry lieutenant who fought in the Vietnam War, becomes involved with drug dealers, mafia chieftains, and a former army general with shady arms dealings in Central America.

The story starts with a vivid description of Dave visiting a convict who is about to be executed at Angola penitentiary. There are crowds outside the jail, some asking for clemency, some baying for the convict's blood. Dave speaks to the convict who explains that he is trying to make amends for some of the things he has done and tells Dave that a criminal is planning on murdering him. It is clear that Dave is not too concerned.

A lifelong friend of Dave's, Cletus Purcell, appears early on in the story, who from the beginning presents as a greatly troubled man with alcohol, drugs, gambling and relationship issues. After learning of the convict conversation, he too suggests there is little credibility to the warning.

Dave soon has other things to occupy his mind and is drawn into a murder investigation. A young girl named Lovelace Deshotels is found dead in the sea. The local police are happy it is misadventure but Dave believes she has been murdered. This is where his problems begin.

Two corrupt cops pull Dave over on his way home and are clearly intent on causing him serious harm but Dave reacts quickly and draws his gun and handcuffs them to his own car.

From this point, the story develops into a thriller as unseen forces seek to destroy Dave. Fortunately, he meets a wonderful young woman named Annie Ballard who he falls in love with.

Dave Robicheaux, former officer for the New Orleans Police Department and before that a U.S. Army infantry lieutenant who fought in the Vietnam War, works as sheriff's deputy in New Iberia, Louisiana. In this book, he discovers new evidence in a murder case and additional leads in the disappearance of his mother, a longstanding subplot to this series.

''Publishers Weekly'' gave it a starred review. Kirkus gave it a positive review. Writing for ''The New York Times'', Richard Bernstein was intrigued by the book but found it, "so devoted to its own appearances, that it comes across as almost a commentary on itself rather than as something real..." A reviewer in the ''Houston Chronicle'' stated, "James Lee Burke scores again with great characters."

As described in film magazine reviews, Rosemary Van Voort (Minter) is a girl with a talent for woodcarving, who lives in the Catskill mountains with her aging parents (Periolat and Wright). One day, she meets a group of artists on a trip from New York. Impressed with her skills, they persuade Rosemary to return to New York with them to pursue her art.

One of these artists, the violinist Ricardo Fitzmaurice (Forrest), falls in love with Rosemary. As Rosemary starts to earn money from her woodcarving, and Ricardo works on his opera, all seems promising for the couple, but another member of the artists' circle, Mme. Fedoreska (Mineau), is also in love with Ricardo, and she becomes jealous when she realises that the young violinist only has eyes for Rosemary.

One night, when returning late from a dance, Rosemary is accosted by Mme. Fedoreska, who threatens to kill her. Ricardo intervenes, and he and Rosemary return to his quarters for the night, as Rosemary's friend Wanda (Shelby) has locked her out of their apartment. They are later joined there by a distressed young boy, but as he speaks only Russian, neither Rosemary nor Ricardo can discern the cause of his upset.

Meanwhile, Mme. Fedoreska is confronted by her estranged husband, whom she had abandoned in Siberia with their child. There is an argument, and a gunshot, and in the morning Mme. Fedoreska is found dead. Rosemary's pistol is found by the body, and with Ricardo having left early for Chicago to promote his opera, she has no-one to provide her with an alibi. Rosemary is arrested and put on trial for murder.

Just when it seems that all is hopeless and that Rosemary has no means of proving her innocence, the little Russian boy that she had met on the night of the murder manages to convey that he had seen Mme. Fedoreska stab his father - her estranged husband, who later died from his wounds- and his father shoot her. Rosemary is acquitted, and she and Ricardo look forward to a happy future together.

As described in a film magazine, young Italian woman Perla Quaranta (Moore) dances in the streets to the music from her father's barrel organ.

Perla makes good with this chance, though she too gives into the temptation of pies, cakes, and other pastries. Carlo is also given into overeating, with his figure suffering and his dancing powers impaired. Perla begins to take on weight, just like her predecessor. She repulses an attempt by a stage hand, Krug (Metcalfe), to court her. In revenge, he tampers with the wire used by Perla when performing her butterfly act. Carlo suspects Krug and thrashes him. Carlo then receives a sentence of thirty days in jail for this assault. Meanwhile, Perla, in her convalescence, is almost won by a baker who describes the tempting pastries he makes. When Carlo returns after serving his sentence, he and Perla resolve to diet steadily and win fame as dancers. They do so and are married into the bargain.

In 2020, Bill and Ted have failed to write a prophesied song to unite the world. Their marriages and careers are deteriorating, and time and space are beginning to collapse.

Kelly, the daughter of Bill and Ted's deceased time-travelling guide Rufus, arrives to take them to the year 2720 in San Dimas, California. Her mother, the Great Leader, tells them that they have until 7:17 p.m. that night to create the song or reality will collapse. They use Rufus's time-traveling phone booth in an attempt to retrieve the song from their future selves. However, they discover their future selves have failed; their wives have left them and they blame their past selves for their failures.

An impatient Great Leader sends a time-traveling robot, Dennis, to kill them, hoping that it will stabilize reality. Kelly travels back to the present to warn them, but instead meets their daughters, Billie and Theadora (Thea), who decide to help make the song. Using Kelly's time machine, Thea and Billie recruit musicians Jimi Hendrix, Louis Armstrong, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ling Lun, and Grom, a prehistoric drummer. Thea, Billie, and their band return to the present to meet up with Kelly and a time-displaced Kid Cudi, but Dennis inadvertently kills them and sends them to Hell.

Bill and Ted travel to 2067 and find their elderly future selves on their deathbeds. The elder Bill and Ted give their younger selves a USB drive containing the fabled song by "Preston / Logan", stating that it must be performed at 7:17 PM at "MP 46". Dennis appears and, upon learning Bill and Ted have the song, informs them of his blunder. Bill destroys the USB to goad Dennis into killing them so they can rescue their daughters in Hell. This backfires as a distraught Dennis turns his weapon on himself, but Bill and Ted throw themselves in the way of the resulting explosion. All three are sent to Hell, where Bill and Ted locate their daughters and the band. With the help of their daughters, Bill and Ted reconcile with their old bandmate Death to return everyone alive to 2020.

The group arrive on Interstate 210 at the MP 46 marker, just as reality is collapsing. Bill and Ted realize that the song is only to be ''performed'' by them, not ''written'' by them, and that "Preston / Logan" on the USB drive actually refers to Thea and Billie. Additionally, for the song to repair the universe, it must be performed by every person in history, all across time. They are joined by their wives, who have realized they are happy with their lives.

The four use the booth to create infinite copies of themselves across time and space, handing instruments to everyone who ever lived. Everyone across reality performs the song, with Thea and Billie producing, while Bill and Ted lead the band on guitar. The performance repairs the universe and everyone returns to their respective time periods.

The prologue introduces the reader to Lucy's struggle with self-image. She describes her work at the stable Diamond D, which was her first job after finishing chemotherapy. Through this first narration, Lucy introduces her family's emotional and financial situation. She describes the stares that she received from children, noting that she was not sure if they were better or worse than the hidden looks from adults.

Lucy brings the reader back with flashbacks of fourth grade. Being a tomboyish girl, she played with boys and participate in dares. After an injury at school, she is diagnosed with a fractured jaw and requires emergency surgery. The memoir thoroughly describes her operation and her experience with anesthesia and says that back to school she felt like a warrior for experiencing something the other kids had not.

Six months after her operation, “a bony knob” had appeared at the tip of her jaw. She returns to the hospital and undergoes multiple tests, including a bone marrow examination. She is diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, however, no one describes it to her as cancer until further in the disease which makes her not assimilate the diagnosis as she should. She meets Derek at the hospital and he becomes her partner in mischievous adventures around the hospital. The right side of Lucy's jaw is removed in an operation. Afterward, she sensed her family's discomfort due to the way she looked.

Lucy starts chemotherapy and experiences pain more than ever. The treatment made her nauseous and cause vomiting, and as she recovered it was once again time for the treatment. She dreaded her treatment days, so much that she tried to get her white blood cell count up so that the treatment could not be administered. She starts wondering about the idea of God and starts realizing how her disease was not only affecting her but also the rest of her family. As a result of the chemotherapy, her hair starts falling out, causing more self-esteem issues.

When Lucy returns to school after missing much of fifth grade, boys start bullying her and making fun of her appearance. Later in high school, things get worse and she asks a counselor for help; the only thing he offers is to allow her to eat lunch at his office. During this time, she preferred the pain of chemotherapy to the pain of being bullied.

As Lucy's hair grows back, so does her confidence. She starts building new friendships, she still carries the weight of feeling that no one would ever love her in a romantic way. At the age of 16, she has her first reconstructive surgery and while not happy with the results, she hopes that the next surgery will truly bring her happiness. Though she has many surgeries, she is never truly being happy about her looks. In high school, even though no one said anything about her looks, she became her own judge and reminder of what she was lacking. Riding and reading helped her through her negative emotions.

She attended Sarah Lawrence College, and felt acceptance for the first time because of how different everyone was. She makes true friends for the first time during college.

As she encounters adulthood, being fulfilled with her career and having experienced some romantic relationships, Lucy starts to accept her image as it is and stops waiting for the physical beauty that will make her happy. She claims to have finally become "acquainted" with her face and feels whole after a long journey of not feeling good about herself.

On November 9, in Palm Springs, Nyles and Sarah bond at a wedding reception for Sarah's sister Tala and her husband Abe. They leave the party to have sex in the nearby desert. As he undresses, Nyles is shot with an arrow fired by an assailant. Nyles, injured, crawls into a cave, warning Sarah not to follow him. Concerned for Nyles, Sarah follows him and is sucked into a vortex.

Sarah wakes up and realizes that it is November 9 again. She confronts Nyles, and he explains that by following him into the cave, Sarah has become stuck in a time loop with him; falling asleep or dying resets the loop, repeating November 9. Sarah tries various methods to escape the loop, but is unsuccessful. Nyles, having already been in the loop for a long time, has become complacent and carefree, abandoning hopes of escape.

Nyles and Sarah become close friends, and Sarah adopts Nyles' carefree and reckless lifestyle. They both begin excitedly looking forward to their next adventures together. Nyles reveals that the man who shot him, Roy, is from the wedding and that Nyles inadvertently trapped him in the time loop. In revenge, Roy sometimes hunts Nyles, torturing or murdering him.

One night, Nyles and Sarah camp out in the desert, get high, and have sex. The day after, Sarah sleeps in and is woken up by Abe, who she had slept with on November 8, the night before the wedding. Guilt-ridden, Sarah refuses to talk to Nyles about their previous night, expressing nihilism about their life in the loop. After being pulled over by Roy disguised as a cop, Sarah runs him over. Sarah and Nyles argue, leading Nyles to admit that he had slept with Sarah multiple times in the loop, something he previously lied about. An angry Sarah begins avoiding Nyles.

Nyles feels lost without Sarah and spends multiple days aimlessly moping, discovering Abe and Sarah's affair in the process. One day, Nyles visits Roy at his home in Irvine and they reconcile. Meanwhile, Sarah, resolved to escape the time loop, spends her days studying at a diner to become an expert in quantum physics and general relativity. After some experimentation, she believes that exploding oneself in the cave will break the time loop. Sarah approaches Nyles, offering a chance to escape with her, but Nyles, admitting his love for her, counter-offers that they both stay in the loop together forever. Sarah refuses, resolved to try her escape plan without him.

Sarah attends the wedding one last time, giving a heartfelt speech to her sister, the bride, and then travels to the cave with explosives. Nyles, in a change of heart, rushes to the cave to leave with Sarah. He admits that he would rather die with her in an explosion than remain in the loop alone. Sarah reciprocates his feelings and they kiss in the cave, as she presses the detonator. It is revealed that her plan has worked, and that it is now November 10. The two are relaxing in the pool of a nearby house that Nyles showed Sarah during one of the loops, but he was unaware of when the residents were to return. Ultimately, the residents return that day and catch them in the pool.

In a mid-credits scene, Roy returns to the wedding and asks Nyles if their escape has worked, revealing that Sarah left Roy a voicemail explaining her plan. A confused Nyles does not recognize him, and Roy smiles, realizing that her plan has worked.

The storyline continues several months after the events of ''Blaster Master Zero'', in which a young inventor on Earth named Jason Frudnick encountered a frog-like creature which he named Fred. He was led underground by Fred to SOPHIA III, an armored tank known as a Metal Attacker. It was owned by the android girl Eve, who had traveled from the planet Sophia to destroy the evil Mutants, alien invaders that seek to consume planets and assimilate the native lifeforms. Together, Jason and Eve destroyed the Mutants and their Overlord, but the Overlord's core had infected Eve and SOPHIA III, forcing Jason to destroy the contaminated vehicle in order to save her.

In the months that follow, Jason creates GAIA-SOPHIA (G-SOPHIA), a new and improved version of SOPHIA III capable of space travel but the remaining Mutant cells in Eve's body have multiplied and are threatening to destroy her. Unable to find a cure on Earth, Jason, Eve, and Fred travel to Sophia to seek medical attention.

Their journey to Sophia takes them through several planets along the way, each protected by its own Metal Attacker, pilot, and support android. Jason assists and befriends them, and is given special emblems as tokens of their meeting. He is also attacked multiple times by Leibniz, a vengeful Metal Attacker pilot who tries to convince him that Eve should be left to die, seeing the androids as "useless dolls" after losing his own partner Lucia in battle.

As they approach the last sector, Jason and Eve discover an enormous planet-sized Mutant who guards the dimensional tunnel to Sophia within its surface. Using G-SOPHIA, Jason is able to drain the energy from this enormous mutant and destroy it. This causes a chain reaction that pulls the G-SOPHIA and its crew into a dimensional rift, scattering them in the process. If all the emblems are not collected, the game ends prematurely at this point.

If all the emblems are collected, Eve recovers and sets out alone to find Jason through the barren landscape, becoming the player character from this point on. In her search, she is attacked by Leibniz but ignores him as she finds an abandoned Metal Attacker dubbed ANDREIA. The ghost of its support android, Elfie, appears and tells Leibniz that he shouldn't blame Eve for what happened to Lucia. Conflicted, Leibniz shares with Eve that the emblems are tracking beacons and leaves, and Elfie gives Eve control of ANDREIA to help her find Jason.

Eve locates Fred and has him track Jason and G-SOPHIA, both having been turned to stone by a giant Mutant in a cocoon named Drolrevo. The emblems are activated and summons the other Metal Attackers from earlier in the journey, who assist Eve by distracting Drolrevo as she charges up ANDREIA's Acceleration Blast and fires it at the Mutant's cocoon. The blast destroys the cocoon, inadvertently heals Eve of her infection, and frees Jason and G-SOPHIA, allowing him to finish off Drolrevo as his true form emerges.

After leaving the dimensional rift and saying goodbye to their friends, Jason and Eve arrive at Sophia and share their feelings for each other. Meanwhile, Mutants have invaded Earth in Jason's absence, and Leibniz is enjoying the irony that he is going to be the hero instead of Jason as he flies into battle.

"The Killing Dream"

X-23 begins having apocalyptic nightmares involving a demonic Wolverine asking her to be his "right hand in hell." Due to this, she sleeps outside as not to cause any alarm among her roommates. A rift has arisen between her and her former teammates, who are now wary of her due to her having been a part of X-Force. The only ones who side with her are Dust and Hellion. She pleasantly surprises Hellion when she tells him she has missed him, and the two share a brief moment. However, Surge's antagonizing of Laura forces Cyclops to intervene. He then tells her to visit a halfway house in San Francisco for former mutants who are trying to live normal lives. As she steps into the building, she suddenly experiences a vision similar to her dreams with the building on fire and her surrounded by dismembered corpses.

A flashback opening the second chapter of "The Killing Dream" shows Wolverine and X-23 at a theme park. While they are preparing for the roller coaster to launch, Wolverine states he is adopting her as his daughter. When brought back to the present, the fire was implied to be started by the devil possessing Wolverine. He meets X-23 in the hospital and seemingly "kills" Hellion before diving into her mind. He tries to convince her to join him as his queen in Hell. X-23 finds her inner "light" and banishes him from her mind. She awakes to find that there is blood everywhere but she and Hellion are fine. She also notices a symbol on her hand (Marjorie Liu promises that the symbol will be a long mystery).''X-23'' #3. Marvel Comics.

X-23 begins her journey towards self-discovery. X-23, flanked by Gambit, encountered a young girl named Alice and witness her being murdered. However, they encounter Alice the next day, very much alive and well. Encouraging them to follow her to a peculiar desert laboratory, Alice introduces them to her employer/owner/adoptive mother: Claudine (Miss Sinister). Revealing herself openly to X-23, Claudine explains that Alice is also a clone, fourth of a series of five created by Essex as another experiment alongside several other children that live in the complex. She then expands upon her own origins, stating that the process of becoming what she is left her with vague, but invasive memories of Essex's life and that as a malignant presence within her mind. He is slowly killing her as a means of self-resurrection. He even manages to manifest briefly before being re-absorbed back into her. Claudine then incapacitates Gambit and straps X-23 to a peculiar chair, stating her aim to switch their bodies – thus inheriting Laura's healing factor. She has wanted the healing factor since her stabbing, and hopes it will free her of Essex. The plan backfires when Essex in fact controls Laura's body and uses her to mortally wound Claudine again. Laura manages to overcome Essex's presence in her mind, expelling it through force of will. Laura, Alice and Gambit manage to escape the laboratory as it collapses and arrange for the children to be given new homes before setting off on their journey again.

Daken helps to free her because, he says, he knew Colcord would want X-23 once he knew Colcord was rebuilding the Weapon X program, but allowed Colcord to capture her to see what he could learn. The two are badly burned by a bomb detonated by Colcord, before X-23 and Gambit depart for Paris.

In Paris, X-23 and Gambit pursue the person in possession of the "trigger scent" that sends X-23 into a berserk rage, and the DNA of her and Daken. When Gambit discovers that X-23 still causes bodily harm to herself, he contacts Wolverine, who counsels X-23 about filling her heart with better memories. Gambit questions Wolverine about why he never treated X-23 with the same compassion as Jubilee. Wolverine admits that he did not make the right decisions with X-23, a problem he intends to rectify it for both young women.

X-23 and Jubilee subsequently bond over their common experiences. Following her transformation into a vampire, Jubilee has come to feel that the people she once considered friends are now afraid of her, a pain with which X-23 sympathizes, because she was born and raised to be a killer, and found transitioning to civility difficult. During the storyline, Jubilee assists Wolverine and Gambit in their attempts to calm X-23 during her berserker rages.

One night, when the children request a bedtime story, Angela tells them about her life and how she was forced to give up on her dreams in order to raise a family. Wendy wonders whether the same thing will happen to her.

The next night, as the train passes by their bedroom window, Wendy notices a boy riding on top of the train cars. The three children climb out of their window and join the boy, Peter, who takes them all to a tropical island with an active volcano, which Peter calls "Mother." The island is populated by other children, including their long-lost cousin Thomas, who has not aged a day for over the past seven years. Peter explains that Mother's spirit resides in the volcano and prevents the children from aging, so long as they believe in her. They later discover a large glowing fish, which is Mother's other form with Wendy then secretly coming across a dated photograph of a deceased family of islanders that include Peter and concludes Mother must've saved him from a natural disaster (that killed the other islanders) and shared her powers with Peter making him ageless.

While exploring a capsized boat called the ''Mañana'', Douglas injures his head and disappears from sight. The children search for him without success. Missing his twin brother, James withdraws emotionally and his right hand begins to show signs of age. James becomes afraid and asks Peter to cut the hand off lest he become old. Shocked and disgusted, Wendy pulls James away from the group and they explore the back of the island. They encounter a settlement of "Olds," children who lost faith in Mother and thus began to age normally. Among them is Buzzo, well known by the younger kids as being a former member of their group (who lost his faith in Mother when his best friend died). James, bitter at having to grow up without Douglas, rallies the group to kill and eat Mother's fish form in order to regain their youth. The Olds kidnap the children to use as bait for Mother and repurpose the ''Mañana'' as a fishing boat.

While evading the Olds, Wendy and Peter find Douglas alive. They swim to the ''Mañana'', where they find the now elderly James, with a hook in place of his missing right hand. As Peter and Wendy rescue the children, James kills Mother with a harpoon. With Peter and the children mournful and the Olds disheartened, Wendy gets them to all start singing, which inspires Peter and revitalizes the volcano. Wendy and Douglas decide it is time for them to go home plus also bring Thomas back with them to give his family closure (along with two other tag along lost children). Knowing that he cannot go home, James stays to play with Peter as his new “enemy” Captain Hook, thereby allowing him to live out the rest of his days with the spirit of a child. Years later Wendy, now a mother herself, wakes to find her daughter Jane climbing aboard a passing train car with none other than Peter himself, still unchanged by time. Unable to keep up, Wendy comforts herself that Peter will look after her daughter and eventually return Jane back home to Wendy.

Alison has her own problems when she supposedly receives a text from Nolan.

Mizore is a quiet, introverted student in her third and final year of high school, who is an oboist in the school's concert band. Her closest friend, who occupies most of her thoughts, is Nozomi, one of the band's flutists, who is much more outgoing and popular. Together, the two rehearse a duet from the musical piece ''Liz and the Blue Bird'', which is based on an eponymous, fictional German fairy tale that Nozomi loved as a child. The story is about a young woman named Liz (represented by the oboe in the musical piece) and an unnamed blue bird turned human (represented by the flute) who become best friends and live together, until the two are forced to part ways. Nozomi and Mizore realize that the story applies closely to their own relationship, which worries Mizore; she sees herself as Liz and Nozomi as the fleeting blue bird.

Although Nozomi spends time with other friends from the band, Mizore keeps herself isolated from everyone except Nozomi, and refuses her other bandmates' offers to spend time together. She also tries to express her love to Nozomi, but is never able to. Niiyama, a woodwind instructor, advises Mizore to apply for music school after graduation so she could become professional; she is not particularly interested at first, but changes her mind after Nozomi says that she might apply as well. However, their bandmates are worried, realizing that Mizore's only motivation for going to music school is to be together with Nozomi.

As the concert approaches, Mizore and Nozomi grow apart. Mizore feels insecure about Nozomi because of their history together: during middle school, Nozomi proposed and convinced Mizore to join the band, only to later leave it during their first year of high school due to a schism (as depicted in ''Sound! Euphonium''). As a result, Mizore is afraid that Nozomi could leave her at any moment. Meanwhile, Nozomi shows discomfort at Mizore progressively opening herself to others and being tutored by Niiyama, envious of her greater potential. Furthermore, the two have trouble perfecting their duet, both because of their increasingly complicated relationship and because of their difficulty connecting with the characters from ''Liz and the Blue Bird''; Mizore, in particular, does not understand why Liz would ever let the blue bird go free instead of keeping it with her forever.

Eventually, the two come to a greater understanding of their relationship, thanks to the assistance of Niiyama and other members of the band. They ultimately come to realize that, while they associated Mizore to Liz and Nozomi to the blue bird, Mizore was actually closer to the blue bird—having to let go of her unconditional attachment so she can live her own life—while Nozomi was closer to Liz, who let the bird go free so that she would not weigh it down. At the next rehearsal, they perform the piece perfectly. Mizore's performance moves her bandmates and leaves Nozomi in tears. They confront each other afterwards, Nozomi having realized that Mizore was underperforming so the two would be on the same level. Nozomi also reveals that she did not really want to go to music school, and had only said so out of jealousy, even though she knew she did not have the skill necessary to be accepted. Mizore, upset that Nozomi seems to be abandoning her once again, confesses the extent of her feelings, calling the other her "everything". However, Nozomi only laughs, knowing that accepting Mizore's feelings would only continue to confine her.

Some time later, Mizore and Nozomi are seemingly still distant from each other, with Nozomi prioritizing her studies over the band. After they meet in the school's library, Nozomi offers to eat together outside. On the way, she claims that she will back up Mizore perfectly in their duet, only asking for "a little time" and implying that she intends to overcome her jealousy and support Mizore in her life and decisions, while Mizore answers that she will keep on playing the oboe, hinting at her acceptance to finally follow her own path instead of Nozomi's. As the two walk home from school together, Nozomi suddenly turns to Mizore, causing Mizore to look surprised.

Alison along with Caitlin, Dylan, and Ava begin putting the details of their alibi together so that if questioned the alibi would stick. While trying to find out information about Nolan's murder Mona is locked out of Beacon Guard's system. During class, Mason takes Nolan's former seat which leads to an altercation between Mason and Ava. Ava runs out of class and Caitlin attempts to catch up to her. Caitlin is interrupted by Dana who questions her about the same picture that Nolan was blackmailing her with. Claire gives Caitlin a present she found in Nolan's room that she assumes was for her upcoming birthday. Claire also agrees to keep the photos that Nolan was blackmailing Caitlin with under wraps.

Mona learns that the suspicious activity on her account came from one single source and she assumes that someone is trying to frame her. Caitlin visits Ava and gives her the present that she received from Claire. While practicing his cello Dylan's tablet is hacked and a photo which could possibly be used to blackmail him is the only thing showing up. Dana shows up in Dylan's room and asks him if his secrets are safe with Caitlin and Ava. Ava admits to Caitlin and Dylan that the night Nolan died she followed him out to a mysterious cabin in the woods. The three of them visit the cabin and begin searching it. They realize that they were followed to the cabin and try to hide but Alison walks in before they can. Ava tells Alison that the night Nolan died she followed him out there and that he met a blond woman who looked similar to Alison.

While Ava, Caitlin, and Dylan are driving back they find a dead rat in a box in the car with a note. Alison doubles back to the cabin and removes a flower from a shelf she thinks could be a clue. When scrolling through Instagram later, Alison finds a photo of Taylor's grave which includes the same flower she found in the cabin. Alison visits Mona and tells Mona her theory of Taylor being alive. When Caitlin is walking home she crosses paths with Mason who drops a gum wrapper similar to the one she, Ava and Dylan found in the woods leading her to believe that he was the one eavesdropping on them in the woods the night of Nolan's murder.

This saddens her, as she doesn't like who she is, so BoJack finally agrees to visit the Griffith Observatory with Sarah. Inside the building, Bojack nihilistically declares that seeing how "in the great, grand scheme of things, we're just tiny specks that will one day be forgotten", it is pointless to worry about one's mistakes in the past, or how one will be remembered.

The play is set in Portugal under Spanish dominion, many years after the disastrous Battle of Ksar el-Kebir that cost Portugal its independence. The body of the Portuguese king, Sebastian of Portugal, was never recovered, nor was that of nobleman Dom João de Portugal, of the important House of Vimioso.

Madalena de Vilhena, Dom João de Portugal's widow, has since married Manuel de Sousa Coutinho, a chivalrous knight of the Order of Malta. The two lead a virtuous and happy existence, along with their frail young daughter, Maria de Noronha, perturbed only by the silent reproach of a loyal servant, Telmo Pais, the only one who still believes that his former master shall return. Madalena has grown anguished the possibility of Dom João's return would mean her second marriage is bigamous, void, and that her daughter Maria is illegitimate.

They live in Manuel de Sousa Coutinho's elegant palace in Almada, and receive word that the Spanish governors have decided to move their quarters to the residence to escape the plague that was devastating Lisbon: in a fit of patriotism, appalled by this arbitrary resolution, Manuel de Sousa Coutinho sets fire to his own house. While they escape, Madalena watches as a portrait of Manuel is consumed by the flames.

They are now forced to live in Dom João de Portugal's uninhibited palace. The gallery of the old palace is dominated by a portrait of Dom João besides that of King Sebastian — which Madalena interprets as a grave omen. While Maria and Manuel de Sousa Coutinho are away, Madalena is being settled by her brother-in-law, Frei Jorge, when they receive the visit of an old pilgrim from the Holy Land: he tells them that he was kept in captivity for many years and that Dom João is still alive. When asked who he is, the pilgrim points at Dom João's portrait and replies "''Nobody.''"

Deathly ashamed, Madalena and Manuel de Sousa decide that the only solution was for them to go their separate ways and each join a convent. Telmo Pais tells Dom João about the frail young Maria de Noronha, and the old nobleman regrets his presence is causing the family such distress and is covering the woman he loved in dishonour: he bids Telmo to go and tell them all that the pilgrim was a fraud, but it is too late — the play concludes as Manuel de Sousa (now, Brother Luís de Sousa) and Madalena take their take solemn vows to live cloistered monastic lives, and the orphaned Maria de Noronha interrupts the ceremony with an emotional and feverish speech about how the social mores have torn their family apart before she succumbs to consumption.

Set after a conflict between predator and prey animals, ''Iron, or, the War After'' follows a rabbit named Hardin, who has stolen bits of secret intelligence from a military base, and his children meet other animals as they attempt to bring down the ruling Regime. The novel contains themes of patriotism, treachery, loyalty, sacrifice and courage.

Gambler helps a debt-ridden orphanage that was started by his late wife.

In an isolated, windowless boarding school run with military precision, girls live on numbered levels and are taught to follow the "feminine virtues" of obedience and cleanliness and avoid "vices" like anger and curiosity. The girls are told that the school protects them from the toxic outside air and that their lessons prepare them for adoption by members of high society, who will only want the girls if they are "clean." Breaking the rules results in being taken downstairs for punishment, which the girls universally fear. Two best friends, Sophia and Vivien, line up with the other girls on Level 10 to wash their faces in front of a camera in an allotted, regimented time. Vivien steps out of line to help Sophia, who dropped her jar of face cream, and in doing so exceeds her time limit. The guards arrive and Vivien is dragged away for punishment, screaming in terror.

Years later, Vivien is moved to Level 16 (the final level) and reunited with Sophia for the first time since Level 10. Sophia warns her not to take the daily vitamins, which are actually powerful sedatives. That night, while pretending to sleep, Vivien and another girl, Olivia, are carried to a lounge. The facility manager, Miss Brixil, presents the sleeping girls to an aging couple, who choose Olivia and make plans to purchase her. Once the girls are returned to the dormitory, Vivien manages to escape into the hall, but finds that the outer door requires key card access. Throughout the night, several other girls are taken to the lounge and subsequently returned. Miss Brixil, talking to an unseen person on the phone, expresses concern about the behavior of a guard, Alex, warning that he should not be allowed around the girls unsupervised.

The girls meet the facility’s doctor, Dr. Miro, who informs them that there has been a fever going around some of the other halls and gives them a 'vaccine.' The injection gives them painful rashes and causes one girl to have a seizure. Miro initially acts kind towards Vivien, but when she attempts to share her concerns with him, he realizes she has been skipping her vitamins and injects her with a 'concentrated' dose. Sophia informs Vivien that Alex, the guard Miss Brixil was concerned about, secretly visits the dormitory and "touches" the girls while they sleep. She plans to wait until Alex comes to the dormitory, restrain him, and steal his key card. Shortly afterwards, Ava reports Vivien for unclean behavior and Vivien is locked in a box for the night. That night, Sophia attacks Alex when he comes to the dormitory and steals his key card, but is unable to free Vivien before being captured.

Miss Brixil and Miro inform the girls that they were unable to find the key card Sophia stole and ask where she hid it. When they cannot produce it, Rita is taken downstairs for punishment with a warning to the group that another girl will be punished each day until the card is found. Alone, Miss Brixil and Miro discuss the school’s dwindling funds and the pressure being put on them (ostensibly by powerful criminals) to produce results. During the night, Vivien finds that Sophia hid the key card behind her headboard and escapes, heading downstairs to rescue her. She frees Sophia, and they enter a crude operating room full of corpses, where they find the missing Rita, dead and with her skin removed. Vivien insists they leave immediately, but Sophia refuses to go without the other girls. While Sophia goes to get them, Vivien finds a video in the lounge revealing that the facility is actually a rejuvenation clinic run by Miro – the girls are raised in a sterile environment so that their skin can eventually be transplanted onto rich buyers.

Sophia tries to warn the other girls about their situation, but they are initially suspicious of her. Vivien brings Miss Brixil to the rest of the group, where she reveals that Sophia is telling the truth. After locking Miss Brixil in the box, they lead the girls out of the facility, closely pursued by the guards. During a fight, Sophia is injured, but the two narrowly escape by hiding in a shed behind a security door. When the guards are unable to open the door, Miro arrives and attempts to manipulate Vivien into coming outside and helping him round up the other girls, revealing that their birth parents sold them to the facility as babies. Vivien, aware that Miro only cares about her appearance, cuts her face with the scalpel while Miro watches, distraught. Soon afterwards, henchmen lead Miro away to see their boss, the mastermind of the operation. A gunshot is heard; Miro has presumably been killed for losing control of the clinic. An exhausted Sophia and Vivien fall asleep inside the shed. They awaken the next morning to the door being broken down by Belarusian police and emergency service workers, who have already found the other girls. Sophia and Vivien are led to safety and hold hands while they experience rain and sunlight for the first time in their lives.

One day in 1940 Rene Hargreaves walks out on her family and the city of Manchester, to take a position as a Land Girl at the remote Starlight farm.

While Marge picks up Bart from a sleepover at the Van Houten house, Luann invites the Simpson family to their annual trip to Costa Rica. Marge hurries home to propose the trip and the family quickly accepts. Lisa overhears Homer and Marge as they discuss how expensive the trip will get and quickly becomes worried at the cost herself.

At the airport, the Simpsons meet with the Van Houten family, the Hibbert family, Chalmers and his daughter Shauna, and Patty and her new girlfriend Evelyn, to go on the vacation. Though Homer tries to be nice to Evelyn for Patty's sake, Evelyn openly disparages him after what she heard about him from Patty. After arriving in Costa Rica, Lisa gets more worried by the expenses of the journey. Meanwhile, Kirk keeps track of all expenses upfront and will split the checks at the end.

At dinner at the Van Houten vacation home, Homer and Evelyn are unable to converse with their significant others and quickly discover they have a lot in common. The next morning, Homer and Evelyn stay at the beach while the rest of the guests shop. However, the group comes back to find the two drunk and sunburned, having let in monkeys who have trashed the entire place. A furious Marge makes Homer promise to behave for the rest of the trip so she can get the perfect photo of them of their vacation.

Homer and Marge snap the perfect photo at a waterfall, but the wave from Evelyn splashing knocks the phone into the water. At dinner, Patty blames a depressed Marge for making Homer reduce her girlfriend to his level. Marge points out how Evelyn ruined everything for her and is a bad influence on Homer because she acts just like him, telling Patty she is "dating a Homer". Patty is horrified and abruptly breaks up with Evelyn that night.

Bart finds Lisa upset and she reveals to him her financial concerns, so Bart suggests they show their parents the expenses in Kirk's book. They sneak into the master bedroom to look for the evidence. Underneath the bed they find what Lisa believes to be rare priceless artifacts, which Lisa believes the Van Houtens are smuggling to pay for their vacation. When she tries to expose this, Kirk tells her off, pointing out that they are just salt and pepper shakers: they were meant to be a gift for the families.

The next morning, the Simpsons decide to leave the trip and are quickly given their bill by Kirk. In revenge for Kirk charging them extra for ruining the trip, the family sneaks back into the bedroom to take the salt and pepper shakers but inadvertently discover a painting of the explorer Kirkedemious Van Houten, who built the house the Van Houtens own, and confront the Van Houtens for making people pay for the trip with their own money while they get to use the house for free. In the middle of the commotion, Marge has a heart to heart with Patty, apologizing for causing her break-up with Evelyn. She tells Patty that while Homer hates her, Evelyn loves her more than anything else in the world. Patty then agrees to reconcile with Evelyn.

Kirk bitterly refunds the families their money back so they can enjoy the vacation like they intended to. Homer wants to go back to the waterfall to retake the perfect photo of him and Marge, but she convinces him that their vacation is not about being perfect, it is about living in the moment, just as a reconciled Patty and Evelyn kiss on the zipline.

At Springfield Elementary, the children perform dramatic scenes that they wrote themselves, based on TV shows and YouTube videos. Near the end, Lisa performs a scene based on her family, starring herself along with Database (as Bart), Ralph (as Homer), Sam (as Marge), and Kearney (as Maggie). This makes her family feel uncomfortable on how people see them from outside; in particular Marge for being perceived as boring. To change these perceptions, Marge tries to do a funny sermon at the First Church of Springfield, but fails.

Going back home, lightning strikes and fells a tree onto the family car. The next day, Homer starts chopping down the trunk but soon goes to sleep on his hammock, so Marge starts chopping it herself. An impressed Patty invites her lumberjill friend Paula to watch her doing the job; Paula proceeds to coach Marge and invites her to become a lumberjill in the woods.

Marge eventually takes up timbersports, and takes part in a team with Paula in the Springfield Timbersports Pro-am, which they win against other men. At this moment, Patty tells Homer that Paula is a lesbian; making Homer fear that Paula will try to steal Marge away from him. Paula eventually asks Marge to become her partner by training for a month in Portland, Oregon and she accepts, amplifying Homer's concerns.

One month later, Homer and the kids go to Portland to bring her back, but find her getting acquainted in the house with Paula and unsure of coming back the next day after the competition, the Grizzly Timbersports Northwest Championship. They win and Paula tells Homer that she is not romantically interested in Marge; she has a wife who is a ribbon dancer in the Olympics and they have a child of their own. She also assures Homer that she and Marge are just good friends and that Marge is welcome to come back to train with her anytime. Grateful, Homer offers his sperm to her if she decides to have another kid, to which she promises to think about it. She then coaches Homer to offer to give Marge a ride home to Springfield.

In the final scene, Homer buys Maggie a toy chainsaw so she could develop an interest in lumberjacking in the future. However, she gets scared by it as soon as she tries it.

"Tune Up"

Instruction for the director to raise all lights to full brightness and then slowly dim them, as the characters walk on stage and touch up their outfits before the lights dim to absolute darkness and the play begins.

"Overture"

''Beyond the Neck'' begins with the "Overture", in which the location of the play, Port Arthur, is introduced. The character "4" (old man), details the negative history of the location, speaking of the hardships of the convicts who lived in the penal settlement in the 1800s (see '''History''' Port Arthur, Tasmania). The characters "1" (boy), "2" (teenage girl), "3" (young mother and wife), and "4" (old man) are then introduced, through direct address and as the musical quartet piece that Holloway intended. The "Overture" acts as a prologue to the characters and their backstories, placing them in relation to the events of the Port Arthur Massacre.

"Setting Off"

The next part of the play, "Setting Off", brings the characters to the ten year anniversary of the Port Arthur Massacre, revealing that the tragedies of the event continue to haunt them to the present day. It is within this section that Holloway's employment of imperatives to remove the audience's emotional attachment to the piece, a Brechtian technique, is exhibited.

"The Trip Down"

This section of the play details the character's separate journeys as they begin to travel to the Broad Arrow Café in Port Arthur, where the massacre took place. Although they do not travel together, their stories intertwine as they interrupt and talk over the top of each other, contributing to Holloway's intention of creating a musical quartet and chorus, as he outlines in the "Important Note to Actors and Director".

"Arrival"

Adding to the character's backstories, "The Arrival" continues to examine the trauma that the four characters are dealing with, as their arrival to the location of the massacre, Port Arthur, causes them to have flashbacks triggered by post-traumatic stress disorder. The characters continue to act as narrators for each other, revealing more and more small details of information with each line that passes. More information about the Port Arthur Massacre begins to come to light within a conversation between Character 1 and his father.

"The Tour"

All four characters come together for this scene of the play to participate in the tour of Port Arthur, and Character 4's opening introduction in the "Overture" is repeated. Character 2 and 4 both have flashbacks to the events of the Port Arthur Massacre, and Character 1's uncomfortable and inappropriate joke triggers post-traumatic stress disorder for all of the character's once more. This scene finally reveals the violence associated with Michael and the park for Character 1, and ultimately allows Character 2 to accept her father's death.

"The Point of No Return"

It is within this section of the play that the characters finally interact, with Character 3 talking to Character 1 on a park bench and Character 4 finally telling Character 2 of the events of the Port Arthur Massacre. The conversations trigger flashbacks for the characters, and it is finally revealed that Character 3's husband and daughter are actually dead and she has been hallucinating them throughout the entire play.

"Coda"

A visitor describes the location of Port Arthur, and a sense of closure for the loss experienced at that site is finally felt.

Alfred "Alfie" Homer is a botanist who has just broken up with his long-term girlfriend, Anne, and who is coming up on the year anniversary of his parents' death in a car accident. He is invited to take a road trip through Southern Ontario with a friend of his parents, Morgan Bruno, a literature professor writing a book on a mysterious poet, John Skennen, who lived in various towns in Southern Ontario before mysteriously disappearing.

As they travel through several small towns, Homer and Bruno encounter several exploitative and malevolent practices kept up by the smaller towns. In Nobleton they witness a house raising and a house burning, where poor families who have been given the raised house from the previous year must struggle to keep it from burning or be homeless again. In Coulson's Hill they witness the Indigenous Parade, a festivity of reparations for oppressed minorities to be given the opportunity to throw fruit at the colonial oppressors of the past which over time had grown so increasingly racist and prejudiced that when Homer and Bruno arrive all participants wear blue sheets in order to disguise their identities. They then proceed to the town of Schomberg where a long-standing law forbidding black people to talk during the day has led to the rise in a region specific sign language. While in Schomberg, the two pick up a hitch hiker who persuades them to head to New Tecumseth to visit the museum of Canadian Sexuality. While the museum leaves Homer feeling disconcerted, Bruno befriends their tour guide, Michael. Michael invites Bruno and Homer to visit them in Marsville. While there they befriend Michael's roommate, Judith, and her father John, who reveals himself to be John Skennen, now going by his birth name, John Stephens.

Stephens reveals that after his girlfriend left him he was devastated and walked to Feversham, a town with more religious leaders than the Vatican City, where he had a religious experience that convinced him to tend the road to Feversham for 21 years and which caused him to accept the loss of his girlfriend and eventually, to quit writing poetry. Hearing of his experience Homer realizes that one of the things Stephens has described is a rare plant that Homer had been looking for. Homer goes to Feversham where he finds the plant and also has a vision.

Returning to normal life Homer discovers that he suddenly has healing abilities, something that Bruno is skeptical of, despite witnessing Homer heal an arthritic man and two dogs near death. They go to see Skennen in his home in Barrow where Skennen tells Homer that people who have visions in Feversham often get one of three gifts. Skennen can cause anything he touches to multiply, which he demonstrates by multiplying grains of sand, Homer has the power to heal, which he does by resurrecting a dead mouse, and the third and final gift is the ability to cause fires which is the rarest of all and which Skennen only claims to have seen in one other person. Skennen also warns Homer to keep his gift secret, telling him of a man with healing abilities who was caught and abused by a biker gang who eventually murdered him.

Homer returns with Bruno to Toronto and lies to him about his gifts, reassuring him that Skennen told him that his restorative powers were a delusion. Returning home Homer contemplates whether his ability to resurrect animals extends to humans and contemplates resurrecting his own parents.

The framing story is set in Germany circa 1864; while playing hide-and-seek with his friends, Otto becomes absorbed in a book he had purchased from a Gypsy entitled ''The Thirteenth Harmonica of Otto Messenger'', which relates the story of three unwanted princesses given over to a witch for safekeeping. Their father, the king, had given each of them to a midwife shortly after their births while he was waiting for a male heir; the midwife, in turn, passed them on to her cousin, a witch. After the heir arrives, the princesses are informed of their royal birth and prepare to rejoin their family; however, rather than releasing them, the witch curses the girls:

Otto is so engrossed in the story that he has wandered into the woods where the princesses have been trapped. He has in fact brought a harmonica with him (one pressed on him by the same Gypsy who sold him the book) and is able to retrieve their spirits, now stored in the harmonica.

When the story resumes almost 70 years later, the harmonica is discovered in a storage room of the Hohner factory by Friedrich Schmidt; it is in a box marked "Marine Band/1896" with a matching cover plate for export to the United States and is distinguished by a red script letter M on the pearwood comb.

The novel traces the journey of the harmonica from Friedrich to two orphan brothers, Mike and Frankie Flannery in Philadelphia, and then to a migrant worker's daughter, Ivy Maria Lopez in California. Each child has unusual musical talent and faces unique challenges in their lives: Friedrich, who dreams of being a conductor, was forced to drop out of school after the bullying that resulted from his appearance, and is threatened with sterilization in Nazi Germany; Mike, a talented pianist, wishes to join Albert N. Hoxie's Philadelphia Harmonica Band of Wizards as a way to escape the orphanage and poverty while taking care of his younger brother, Frankie; and Ivy, just discovering her talent and love for music, is forced to attend a segregated school while helping her father and mother take care of the Yamamoto family farm after the Yamamotos were forced into internment camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

First Part

The harmonica's first messenger after Otto is Friedrich Schmidt. Set in October 1933, Friedrich is a German boy afflicted with a birthmark on his face that causes him to look deformed. After Friedrich was bullied and beaten up at school for his conducting obsession, he works and is taught at the Hohner Harmonica Factory in the town Trossigen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, where his father used to work. While eating lunch, Friedrich hears music being played and discovers a harmonica with the letter M on it. He pockets the instrument and rushes back to the factory. Since the harmonica was not a traditional instrument in Germany, he hid it in one of the boxes of harmonicas sent to shops in order to protect himself.

Desperately, Shimla begged her best-friend, Fathimath Rishmy (Nadhiya Hassan) to enter Imran's life as his second wife which she declined. However, as a favor for a friend in need, Rishmy later agreed to move on with the plan while keeping their friendship as a secret.

Mary is allowed to leave the house to explore the estate and woods nearby and stumbles upon a stray dog whom she names Jemima. Later that night, she hears tiny screams and wailings throughout the corridors only to find Lord Craven's bedridden son, Colin Craven.

The next day, Mary meets Lord Craven in his study and he tells her to not cause any trouble. Mary continues exploring through the forest and finds a hidden garden by climbing a wall. Later, on the way home, she calls out to Martha's brother Dickon who fades within the mist of the moors. Later she finds Jemima's leg caught in a trap. She helps Jemima, freeing her from the trap but the dog runs away into the garden. So, Mary continues to explore.

Mary is then guided by a Robin to a stone statue within the garden which has a key to the garden within it. She leaves the garden as Mrs Medlock calls out for her. Back at the estate, Mary meets with Colin again as he talks about having a hunchback and not being able to walk. She tells him about the garden on the estate but Colin is uninterested. Snooping around later, she finds a room with pictures of both Mary's mother and Grace Craven, and she grabs a souvenir, a pearl necklace.

The next day, Mary returns to the garden to find Dickon, who offers to help heal Jemima. Mary then brings Colin in his wheelchair for the first time to the same room with his mother's pictures and dresses. Both Mary and Dickon hatch a plan to bring Colin to the garden, hoping to heal his immobility, but upon returning, Mrs Medlock confronts Mary for stealing the pearl necklace and she is punished by being signed up for a boarding school. Later, confined and locked in her room, Mary finds letters between her mother and aunt in a rocking horse. She persuades Colin to read them and the three continue reading letters in the garden.

A depressed and distracted Lord Craven, while lighting a candle, sets the desk on fire. The next morning, Mary, Dickon and Colin are in the garden when they see black smoke coming from the house. Colin persuades Mary and Dickon to run to check it out. Mary enters the burning house to find Lord Craven frantically looking for his son in the fire. She tries in vain to convince him to escape as his son is safe outside, but he resists until the ghost of his wife guides them out safely as the fire brigade arrives. An anxious Lord Craven and Mrs Medlock go with Mary and Dickon to Colin in the secret garden. Lord Craven gazes in awe at his son's mobility as they rekindle their relationship.

The film ends with Lord Craven rebuilding the estate and Mary, Dickon and Colin having fun in the secret garden.

Shortly after revealing himself to the world as the superhero Iron Man, Tony Stark decides to fully move on from his former life as a weapons dealer by deactivating the "Gunsmith," an A.I. modeled after him that was designed to assist Stark with manufacturing weapons and planning out battle tactics. While breaking the news to the Gunsmith, Stark reveals that the A.I.'s "retirement" will consist of "full internet privileges" and that his consciousness will continue to exist.

Five years later, Stark has cemented himself as a world-renowned hero and member of the Avengers, having walked away entirely from weapons manufacturing, much to the dismay of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury. After appointing his former assistant Pepper Potts as the new CEO of Stark Industries—now a clean energy company—Stark is attacked aboard a company jet by a mysterious computer hacker known as "Ghost," who uses a tech suit that allows her to fly and to phase in and out of solid matter. Ghost blames Stark for all the deaths caused by his weapons over the years and attempts to exact revenge by reviving a series of Stark-manufactured combat drones and having them attack Stark Industries' assets across the globe. Blindsided by the effectiveness of Ghost's initial attack, a desperate Stark reactivates the Gunsmith due to his instrumental role in designing the drones now used by Ghost, much to the dismay of his current A.I. assistant F.R.I.D.A.Y., who has been modeled to exemplify Stark's new, more heroic aspirations and goals.

After the Stark Tower in Shanghai is attacked, Iron Man races there to find Ghost waiting for him, who expresses her desire to seek justice for "Tim Shung," a name that neither Stark nor F.R.I.D.A.Y. recognize. When Iron Man is overwhelmed by Ghost's drones, the Gunsmith revives his powerful unibeam weapon, allowing him to destroy them. Meanwhile, Ghost's attacks catch the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Fury calls Stark to the Helicarrier to offer intel on her, just as Ghost attacks, but is driven off by Iron Man and the S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel. Stark then learns that a former disgruntled Stark Industries employee named Arthur Parks has been revived by Ghost and provided with laser armor technology to assist her in her vendetta against Stark.

Ghost later attacks Stark's home in Malibu, prompting the Gunsmith to employ orbital satellites to destroy her contingent of drones, while causing a massive amount of collateral damage. F.R.I.D.A.Y. leaves in protest of Tony's continued association with the Gunsmith, whom she sees as embodying the dangerous impulses of his former, pre-heroic lifestyle. After tracking Parks, now calling himself the "Living Laser," and Ghost to a Roxxon facility in Kazakhstan, Iron Man defeats them both, but the Gunsmith commandeers his armor to kill Ghost against Stark's wishes. He resists and subsequently fires the Gunsmith, while Ghost escapes during the chaos.

Stark returns home to find F.R.I.D.A.Y. who reassures him and refocuses him on the mission at-hand. After the Living Laser launches a solo attack on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, Iron Man defeats him and discovers the location of the base he and Ghost have been using: the same cave in Afghanistan where Stark built his first Iron Man armor to escape from his terrorist captors. Returning to the cave and finding the original armor still inside, Iron Man is attacked by Ghost, who forcefully removes the arc reactor keeping him alive from his chest. As Stark struggles through a "trial" Ghost has planned, he learns that she was orphaned as a child by an attack involving Stark weapons, and that her desire for revenge led her to correspond online with a faceless Stark Industries employee: Tim Shung. In her eyes, Shung was a hero and a whistleblower who selflessly revealed the extent of Stark's criminality before allegedly being killed by the company. F.R.I.D.A.Y. helps recover the arc reactor and Iron Man defeats Ghost, who is subsequently imprisoned on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

Later, Stark and Pepper realize that "Tim Shung" is an anagram for "Gunsmith," who reveals himself that he used Ghost's vendetta against Stark to achieve his own goal: have Stark Industries produce weapons again, believing the world was safer with Stark weapons on the market. Realizing he cannot go up against Gunsmith using his regular armor that the rogue A.I. has access to, Stark retrofits the newly recovered Mark I armor and returns to his home to fight the Gunsmith. There, he reluctantly allies himself with an escaped Ghost, who manages to go through an impenetrable barrier surrounding the mansion erected by the Gunsmith. Using the information that Ghost finds about the A.I.'s weaknesses, Iron Man eliminates a giant construct of the Gunsmith wearing an advanced version of his armor. With the Gunsmith defeated, Ghost ends her temporary truce with Stark and departs.

Months later, Iron Man and Pepper—now in her own Rescue armor—are called into space by Nick Fury to examine a S.H.I.E.L.D. orbital satellite that has become suspiciously unresponsive.

Two children have the same dream about the same imaginary friend, a superhero named Rem Lezar. They paint a mannequin like their dream hero, which comes to life. The children try and find a Quixotic Medallion that will allow him to live longer than a day. Together they traverse New York, finding various characters along the way, such as a dancing quartet who sing to themselves ("Day and Night"). Eventually, they meet the seemingly evil Vorock, a floating entity who threatens them from the sky. However, the character is turned good when the children say that they love Vorock. The children go back home and find that their imaginary Rem Lezar has returned to the form of a mannequin, but Zack still has the Quixotic Medallion. The children go back to sleep with Rem Lezar still on the mind.

Jake (Andy Samberg) is assigned to watch over a comatose mobster in the hospital, which prevents him from seeing Amy (Melissa Fumero) more often. He suggests that she accompanies him in the hospital room while watching over the mobster to celebrate their anniversary in something called "Casecation".

While remembering their best moments, an older woman named Pam (Julia Sweeney) appears in the room where she praises their relationship and even questions what their children will be. Amy then finds out that despite the fact that she wants children, Jake is not interested in that. Amy then decides to start a debate for both with Holt (Andre Braugher) and Kevin (Marc Evan Jackson) serving as moderators. Jake's initial statements fail due to his lack of preparation, which prompt him to explain to Amy that he is just scared to be dad because of the absence of his father during most of his life. Amy then reveals she is also scared of this. Things appear to improve but when Jake suggests that they can discuss it later, Amy demands that he gives a final answer very soon, feeling tired of waiting years or she could "start over".

Terry (Terry Crews) and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) arrive at the hospital, having been alerted that someone will try to kill the mobster. Rosa accompanies Amy where she sides with her choice of having children. Terry, on the other hand, advices Jake to not have children until he is fully ready, citing his constant lack of sleep and free time. Amy and Rosa intercept a hitman but realize it's just a distraction. Jake enters the mobster's room to discover Pam with a bomb, having been hired by a mobster to kill him so her granddaughter gets $500,000. Jake convinces her to put the bomb down and Pam is arrested. The talk with Pam gives Jake more confidence in being a parent although both Amy and Jake agree to have children whenever they are both ready.

Following the events of ''Persepolis Rising'', James Holden is a captive on Laconia, allowed to roam the grounds of High Consul Winston Duarte’s palace but with little other freedom. He pays his respects to Chrisjen Avasarala, who died four months previously, and talks with her granddaughter and Camina Drummer, former president of the defunct Transport Union.

Through another of the Ring gates, Elvi Okoye, her husband Fayez and several other scientists are sent on a Laconian mission to the “dead worlds”, systems past the ring gates which have no habitable worlds. They find a planet-size green diamond which interacts strangely with their sample of active protomolecule but are forced by the commander to move on to the next system before they can adequately probe it. They arrive to find a neutron star pushed to the edge of the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov limit, with no other matter in the area. The Laconian commander reveals their plan to send an antimatter-laden ship through the ring gates to attack the creatures which have been seen “eating” ships.

In the Sol system, Naomi, working for the underground resistance against Laconia, arrives on a station in the Outer Planets to talk with Bobbie and Alex, operating their stolen Laconian gunship ''Gathering Storm'' before leaving again. Bobbie and Alex embark on a mission to capture a Laconian freighter carrying supplies and a high-ranking political officer but the officer and their own spies are caught in the crossfire and killed. Faced with overwhelming odds, one of the Laconian flagships taking notice of them and notching another (semi)-failure, both are left to wonder whether their fight is winnable at all. Then Bobbie finds antimatter in the supplies taken from the Laconian freighter, a power source for its magnetic weapon and hatches a plan to kill the flagship.

On Laconia, Teresa Duarte, the fourteen-year-old daughter of Winston, learns that her father wants to train her to be the next high consul despite his quest for immortality and talks with Holden about his status in Duarte’s court. She also sneaks away to talk with a man she met in a mountain cave, whom she calls “Timothy”. Naomi mingles with the crew of the ship she rides on to avoid discovery by a Laconian political officer and is saved by the chief engineer who knows her from the events of ''Babylon’s Ashes''—until their travel is cut short by a warning from the ring gates. The Laconian experiment, witnessed by Fayez and Elvi (who tried to stop it, to little avail) causes the neutron star to collapse into a black hole and emit a gamma-ray burst, lighting up the slow zone and destroying two of the ring gates. Duarte tells Teresa that they plan to send another antimatter ship but before the attack can be carried out, the aliens make their own attack: everyone across the connected systems experiences ‘lost time’ where they can see the spaces between subatomic particles; Elvi and Fayez are wounded and several of their colleagues killed when parts of their ship vanish; Medina Station, the Laconian dreadnought ''Typhoon'' and everything inside the ring space is annihilated in an instant; and Duarte, augmented by the protomolecule, becomes catatonic.

Bobbie and Alex make the decision to ask Naomi about their plan to attack the Laconian flagship, the ''Tempest''. Holden recognizes that something is wrong on Laconia and speaks with Paolo Cortázar, the head scientist, who plans to kill Teresa rather than let her become immortal. With the death of Medina Station, Naomi travels to Auberon—one of the most prosperous ring worlds—and takes over the underground. Elvi lands on Laconia and is told of what happened to Duarte and that her assistance is needed in running the scientific endeavors there; at the same time, Holden attempts to tell them of Cortázar’s plot against Teresa. Teresa is worried over the state of her father and goes to visit “Timothy”, who is revealed to be Amos Burton, sent with a pocket nuclear weapon to try to rescue Holden. The Laconian security force finds the two of them and kills Amos, though when they return they cannot find his body. Elvi speaks at the science center with two children who died but were reconstructed by the repair drones native to Laconia.

Bobbie and Alex embark to kill the ''Tempest'', using a bomb constructed from antimatter and a gap in its sensors caused by the Sol forces. Alex distracts the flagship with the ''Gathering Storm'' while Bobbie delivers the bomb but their ship is damaged and she is forced to throw the bomb at the ''Tempest'' directly, destroying it and sacrificing herself in the process. Elvi tells Teresa, further traumatized by Amos’ death, of Cortázar’s plot and she tells her father. Naomi and Alex return, independently, to the ''Rocinante'', which had been stashed on Freehold, the colony they returned to at the end of ''Persepolis Rising''. Another lost-time attack occurs and Elvi thinks that such attacks are what shut down the consciousness of the protomolecule builders; humanity is more resilient and only loses a few minutes of time, but now the aliens are experimenting with more effective methods that work for longer. Naomi summons ships from the other ring worlds for an attack on Laconia’s shipyards.

Four hundred ships attack Laconia, drawing out the last flagship away from the planet so that a small strike force can destroy the shipyards. Duarte, though still comatose, awakens when he is scanned and kills Cortázar. Teresa decides she needs to leave Laconia, uses Amos' evacuation beacon as a call for her rescue and takes Holden from the cells as a bargaining card. Elvi realizes that Holden was the one who convinced Cortázar to kill Teresa but he tells her that it was a plan to betray Cortázar and install Elvi as the head scientist of Laconia. Naomi and Alex’s plan succeeds and they kill the shipyards, then descend to Laconia, following the evacuation signal. Laconian security forces catch up with Holden and Teresa but are killed by Amos, put back together by the repair drones. The crew of the ''Rocinante'' reunite and Teresa, as the daughter of the high consul, talks the remaining flagship down from killing them. On the ship, Amos tells Holden that the aliens that killed the protomolecule builders now plan to kill all of humanity.

In the not too distant future, doomsday prepper Marcus King has been preparing for the end of the world for many years. One day, while tracking the skies with his son Geoff, they discover a massive, potentially planet-destroying meteor hurtling towards Earth. Worse still, the meteor looks likely to hit a nuclear reactor. There is little time, but King quickly organizes his small group of highly militarized group and most of them make it to their bunker, a former missile silo, before the impact event, including Geoff and his daughter Melissa, but not her boyfriend Caden, nor himself.

Ten years later, life has continued for those inside the bunker but food and medicine are getting low. After a disturbance outside affects the power in the bunker, the survivors find themselves in trouble. Their only solution is to send a group of people outside into the unknown world outside to fix the problem. After a brief power struggle underground, a team consisting of new leader Melissa, Geoff, Rogan, Shaina, and Tyler ventures out, shadowed by a woman in black. After fixing the power, they explore and salvage. Outside, the air is safe to breathe: people can live outside again. However, they soon also discover that humans who were exposed to the meteorite's radiation have been mutated and become cannibals. One by one, they are injured by the mutants. After Geoff is shot in the leg with an arrow, the group seeks refuge.

The team encounters a man who leads them to sanctuary in the form of survivors living in a town resembling something out of the Old West where they meet Sheriff Elmore Leonard. Exploring further, they discover that when the sun goes down, the survivors turn into mutants, among them Caden, who taunts Melissa as he attacks. The woman in black, Sadie, called Preacher, shows great experience with fighting mutants, and reveals her knowledge of non-mutated survivors elsewhere. She participates in the combat that ensues, but does not survive. As Sadie did before her, Melissa takes on the mantle of Preacher in the search for survivors and sanctuary.

Two hundred years ago, Anya's lover, Gittel, betrayed her and married a Torah scholar. Anya, bent on revenge, conjured up a curse according to which Gittel and every first-born female descendant for 33 generations would be possessed by a dybbuk and bear only daughters. The dybbuk Kokos gets assigned this job by the Head Office, but runs into trouble when the family gets help from her nemesis, the Sage of Limnititzk. The sage drives Kokos out of Gittel and traps her in a tree. Two centuries later, a bolt of lightning releases Kokos, but she has a hard time adjusting to the 20th century. Kokos, who is facing dismissal by the Head Office - now a multinational high-tech corporation - tracks down Gittel's descendant, Rainbow Rosenbloom, a political, lesbian film-critic and taxi driver. Rainbow, however, turns out to be far from an easy soul to haunt. If the dybbuk's job is to drive the possessed person mad, Kokos is at a loss as to what to do with a person who is already considered more than a little crazy by her friends and family. The approach Kokos chooses is to remake Rainbow into the ultimate "Nice Jewish Girl". Rainbow, who is now falling for a beautiful, and straight, orthodox woman, now even considers marrying a man and getting back to her religious roots to be close to her - a plan Kokos is pleased with, because it will give her future generations to possess.

During the destruction of the planet Krypton, a Kryptonian Labrador Retriever comforts fellow infant survivor Kal-El as they head in an escape pod towards Earth. Years later, Krypto and Kal, now known as the famous superheroes, Krypto the Superdog and Superman, live in the city of Metropolis under their dual identities Bark and Clark Kent. Clark is a reporter and journalist at the Daily Planet, a newspaper company.

Clark is dating Lois Lane, a fellow journalist whom Krypto is jealous of. Thinking that Krypto needs a friend to distract him, Clark heads to an animal shelter to find one for him. A Boxer named Ace is trying to escape the shelter, when Krypto stops him. Later, Superman and Krypto spot their archenemy, LexCorp CEO Lex Luthor, reeling in a meteorite strapped with orange kryptonite with a tractor beam, intending to gain superpowers. He is easily defeated as the two are aided by the Justice League.

Meanwhile, Lulu, a guinea pig tested by Luthor and sent to the shelter, manages to reel in a piece of kryptonite with her own tractor beam, which gives her superpowers. Unbeknownst to her, everyone else in the shelter also gains superpowers. Ace is now super-strong and indestructible; PB, a potbellied pig, can change size; Merton, a nearsighted turtle, becomes super fast; and Chip, a squirrel, gains electrokinesis.

While at home, Superman and Krypto have an argument when the former plans to propose marriage to Lois. However, Clark is captured by Lulu. Krypto tries to save him, but due to a piece of cheese he ate laced with green kryptonite, he loses his powers. Later, Krypto comes across the shelter pets who agree to help him, with Ace only agreeing after Krypto blackmails him.

Meanwhile, Lulu recruits an army of guinea pigs, captures the Justice League, and heads to Stryker's Island to free Luthor. The shelter pets try to stop her, but fail miserably. They regroup in the Hall of Justice where Ace tells a distraught Krypto he used to be the puppy of a family with a toddler. One day, the toddler nearly fell down the stairs when Ace bit her arm and pulled her to safety. Upon seeing the bitemarks, the parents assumed Ace attacked her and sent him to the shelter. However, Ace stands by his actions. Encouraged, Krypto leads the pets to LexCorp. While there, a kitten named Whiskers, whose body was augmented by Lulu to create explosives at will, tries to stop them. The pack works together and defeats her before heading to Stryker's Island to try and stop Lulu.

At Stryker's Island, the shelter pets confront Lulu, but put themselves in prison cells when she threatens to harm Krypto. Lulu frees Luthor, who betrays her and locks her in his cell. She breaks out easily and decides to end the Justice League and Luthor herself.

Krypto gets his powers back, asks his friends to stay out of harm's way and heads to LexCorp. He defeats the guinea pigs while Lulu captures Luthor and launches a rocket from the building. This forces Krypto to choose between the Justice League or Lois, who is in a nearby helicopter. He decides to save Lois while his friends help the League.

Enraged, Lulu puts the orange kryptonite in her brain, becoming a giant monster. The Justice League and the pets team up to stop her. Realizing she has become too powerful, Krypto decides to use the "Solar Paw Punch", a move that can destroy any supervillain alongside the hero that uses it. The attack removes the kryptonite from Lulu's brain and traps her in a hot dog stand. Krypto accepts his fate, but Ace uses his invulnerability to save him.

In the aftermath, Krypto allows Clark to marry Lois, and the shelter pets, minus Lulu (who is kept by Luthor's assistant Mercy Graves), get adopted by the rest of the Justice League. Some time later, the pets have formed their own superhero team called the "League of Super-Pets". In a post-credit scene, Krypto and Superman encounter Black Adam and his dog Anubis.

Riordan is planning to run for the leadership of his political party following the recent announcement that incumbent Prime Minister Prescott is stepping down due to poor health; both he and his wife Juliet are anxious to avoid any taint of scandal that may ruin his path to the Prime Ministership, but the investigation takes a turn when Raymond reveals both that he is gay and that he knows the secrets that may bring Riordan's career down as well.

Detective Mike Hoolihan (Patricia Clarkson) is investigating the murder of Jennifer Rockwell (Mamie Gummer), an astrophysicist at an observatory in New Orleans. She had presented a talk on black holes in the evening but was found dead in the morning by the manager of the observatory (Toby Jones). She had been shot in the face, but there was no weapon. A sock and a jar of moisturizing cream were found at the scene.

The manager claims that he was out all night with an associate. The sock is traced to Jennifer's boyfriend, who claims he left hurriedly to work on a new theory. Jennifer's home is full of tchotchkes and other old knick-knacks. Mike passes out when she picks up a Florida snow globe, and imagines unique blue marbles similar to one that is on a string around her neck. When she comes to, she talks about the marble, and how she does not remember where it came from. She was an orphan, and has always had it.

Her co-investigator and supervisor suggest that this looks like "The .38 Caliber Killer", who killed young women, but had not struck in many years. The murderer always exchanged knick-knacks with his victims. While doing a more detailed search of the area, Mike finds a gun in a case, and a red scarf she had been having dreams about. The gun, a .38 revolver, is traced to the observatory manager, who admits he found it, and tried to dispose of it so he would not be a suspect. Working out from where the gun originally lay, Mike concludes that Jennifer had shot herself. The investigators agree.

In photos of the crime scene, Mike realizes that there are no photos of the jar of moisturizing cream that she noted. When she buys a jar of the cream, she reacts as if memories come flooding back. A video made during Jennifer's presentation on black holes shows some of the people who attended. There is a shadow of a man with a hat - very much like Jennifer's father's. Mike checks the family home and Jennifer's two brothers. She finds an old brooch that Jennifer had been wearing, but was missing from the murder scene.

As she speaks with the family members, it becomes clear that Jennifer's father (James Caan) is an intimidating figure, and other family members are afraid of saying much around him. Mike notices that an object from one of the .38 Caliber Killings is in a picture of the family. A witness from one of the old murders recounts hearing the suspect walking as if he had a cane, just like Jennifer's father. In photos of the father, he seems to switch the cane from his right to his left hand, using it inconsistently.

It appears that the father had been killing young women who looked like his mother, but the killing had stopped when his daughter (Jennifer) was born. Mike goes to a gun shop and buys a .38 revolver. She confronts Jennifer's father, but he grabs the gun from her and talks her out of her suspicions. She returns to the observatory, and considers suicide, but instead checks out an old, boarded up house.

In the house she relives the murder of her mother. She was hiding in a closet when the .38 Caliber Killer shot her. Young Mike came out of the closet and rubbed the moisturizing cream on her dead mother's hands, asking her to wake up. Blue marbles had spilled all over the floor, and young Mike carries one out as she leaves with a police officer. The killer had taken the Florida snow globe.

Mike gets into her car and drives away, knowing that she has solved the mystery of Jennifer's death, the .38 Caliber Killer and her own demons.

Macbeth, Thane of Glamis, and Banquo, Thane of Lochaber, having led King Duncan's army to victory over the traitorous Thane of Cawdor, are approached by three witches on the battlefield. The witches hail Macbeth as the future Thane of Cawdor and proclaim that he shall some day be King and that Banquo shall father a line of kings.

Soon thereafter, King Duncan fulfills the first prophecy by ordering the Thane of Ross to execute Cawdor and reinvest the title upon Macbeth, but King Duncan names his own son Malcolm as the prince of Cumberland, which Macbeth sees as an encumbrance to his path to the throne. When Duncan spends a night at Macbeth's castle, Lady Macbeth, aware of the prophecies, convinces her husband to commit regicide. She drugs the King's servants, and a hesitant Macbeth murders the King. At dawn, Macduff, Thane of Fife, discovers the body, and Macbeth ties up loose ends by summarily executing the servants, ostensibly as just punishment for their supposed betrayal of the King.

Fearing for his own life, Malcolm flees to England, and Macbeth assumes the throne as the new King. Uneasy over the prophecy concerning Banquo, Macbeth arranges to have him and his son Fleance murdered. Macbeth's assassins, accompanied by Ross as the Third Murderer, kill Banquo. Ross then pursues Fleance through a field.

An increasingly paranoid Macbeth becomes a feared tyrant. At a royal banquet, he hallucinates and begins raving at an apparition of Banquo. Lady Macbeth has the guests dismissed before sedating Macbeth. During his trance, Macbeth is again visited by the witches. They conjure a vision of Fleance, who tells him to beware of Macduff, that he shall be King until Great Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane Hill, and that he shall be harmed by no man born of a woman. Macbeth orders the whole Macduff household to be slaughtered; only Macduff survives, having fled to England earlier.

A guilt-ridden Lady Macbeth gradually descends into insanity. Ross secretly visits England and informs Macduff of his family's demise. A grief-stricken Macduff vows revenge, while Malcolm raises an army with English help. The troops cut down branches from Birnam Wood, using them as camouflage, and march on Macbeth's castle at Dunsinane, fulfilling one of the prophecies. Lady Macbeth dies, plunging Macbeth into further despair. Still convinced of his invincibility, he is ultimately challenged by Macduff to a duel. Macduff declares he is not born of a woman but instead "untimely ripped". Macbeth initially refuses but ultimately accepts Macduff’s challenge. Macduff defeats and beheads Macbeth, fulfilling the final prophecy. Malcolm is crowned the new King of Scotland. Meanwhile, Fleance is revealed to be alive, and Ross spirits him away from Scotland. A flock of crows emerges in the foreground clearing the path and to signal the fulfillment of the witches' prophecy regarding Banquo's progeny.

Setting

''Pathologic 2'' takes place in a small town on the steppe only referred to as the Town on the Gorkhon River, or simply "the town." The culture of the town is a fusion of 20th century technology and architecture with ancient steppe culture and traditions, which bring about customs that greatly affect the course of events in the town. Though the exact location and date are never mentioned, it is very heavily implied by character dialogue and environment clues that the game is set during the Russian Civil War.

The world of ''Pathologic 2'' leans heavily into the surreal, meta-commentary and symbolism, frequently making discerning what is fiction and what is "reality" difficult. The events in the town are framed as a play in the style of Bertolt Brecht's "epic theatre," where the player is an "actor" "playing the part" of the player character. The player's "reality" often comes into contact with the this framing, with theater-like elements such as spotlights, "scene changes" between day and night and a disembodied stagehand-like voice appearing intermittently throughout the game. At certain points, such as during plays performed in the town's theater or after the player's death, the player encounters the mysterious and supernatural theater director Mark Immortell, who is often critical of the player's "acting" and frequently breaks the fourth wall, referring to the game's development, referencing the mechanics and inner workings of the game's systems and referencing events or aspects from the original ''Pathologic'', both contextually and literally.

Story

The protagonist of the game is a surgeon named Artemy Burakh, also known as the Haruspex. The game begins at the end of a previous, seemingly failed run, on 'day 12' of the first ''Pathologic''. The town is nearly empty, filled with bodies and the sounds of screaming. Artemy speaks to various characters and makes his way to the Cathedral, where he is able to speak to the mysterious theatre manager, Mark Immortell, and requests a 'second attempt'. This is granted, and time resets to the prologue of Artemy on a train, travelling to the Town. The player controls Artemy through a series of strange dreams and visions. Through dialogue with a character known as the 'Fellow Traveller', it is revealed that Artemy was born and raised in the town but has not been back in many years. His father, Isidor Burakh, is the local physician and a leading member of the Kin, the native inhabitants of the steppe. He sent Artemy to the capital as a teenager to gain an education in medicine, but has now requested that he return, stating that 'great difficulties' are coming.

Upon arriving in the town, Artemy is greeted by three locals who try to kill him. In a cutscene, he kills the attackers. Nearby strangers in plague doctor suits tell him that the locals suspect him of killing an important resident of the town and that the attack on him was an act of revenge. It is soon revealed that, in fact, two people have seemingly been murdered. The first is Simon Kain, a prominent leader of the town who had previously been assumed to be immortal; the second is Isidor.

Artemy is suspected of patricide and attacked by many of the townspeople, who have been driven to unusual violence. Young women are targeted in particular due to old steppe legends of a 'Shabnak-adyr', a creature with clay legs who brings death. A local gang of children known as the 'Soul-And-A-Halves' request Artemy's assistance with finding a boy who poisoned their dogs, while an old friend of his known as Bad Grief requests assistance with an injured local man. The leader of the town's economy and industry, a powerful man known as 'Fat Vlad', vouches for Artemy, and his innocence is restored.

At his father's funeral, Artemy discovers that his father died of a strange stab wound. He is urged to accept his father's legacy as a menkhu, a special caste of Kin folk with the right to cut open bodies. In doing so, he is given a list containing the names of seven local children, plus a strange steppe sigil that he is told means 'udurgh'. He learns that these are the children his father felt would be most important in 'rebuilding the town', and must be kept safe at all costs. Signs of an outbreak appear in the village, including a strange rot on the sides of buildings and a black cloud in his father's old bedroom. A plague known as 'Sand Pest' strikes the town, killing people within a day of infection and leaving the districts abandoned and rife with looters.

Artemy is required to perform daily tasks at the hospital in exchange for food and money, as food prices rise rapidly once the outbreak hits. It is revealed that the Sand Pest has hit the town once before, and Isidor managed to curb the outbreak by boarding up the infected district and leaving all those within to die. He encounters a young Herb Bride - a caste of Kin women who dance barefoot to encourage the growth of sacred herbs such as twyre - who seems to know him, and eventually tells him he is destined to kill her. Artemy is able to use his father's old equipment to create tinctures that increase immunity, and later use organs or blood to produce antibiotics and painkillers. He collects sacred blood from a crack in the ground in an ancient steppe village, and finds that this produces a panacea that cures Sand Pest; however, there is only enough blood for two doses.

An Inquisitor, Aglaya Lilich, arrives in the city. She has been sent to save the town at any cost, and Artemy is warned by others that Inquisitors are inherently manipulative and dangerous. He continues to search for larger amounts of sacred blood, eventually learning that the only way to get enough to stop the plague is to destroy a tower known as the Polyhedron. The mysterious 'udurgh' refers to the Earth itself, which is leaking out the sacred blood due to being repeatedly harmed and nearly killed by the Town's presence. Destroying the Polyhedron will produce enough of this blood to cure everyone, but kill the Earth in the process, causing many of the 'miracles' of the world - including many aspects of the Kin - to fade and die. It is up to the player which option they choose: either the tower is destroyed and the town is saved, or the tower remains in place and the Kin retake the Town.

The novel explores the life of Gloria Wandrous, a young woman having an affair with Weston Liggett, an older, married businessman. Set in New York circa 1931, it fills in her family background and sexual history, and it locates her within a circle of friends, their relationships, and economic struggles, providing a closely observed tour of "the sordid and sensational lives of people on the fringe of café society and the underworld". The minor character of Jimmy Malloy, a junior newspaper reporter, serves as O'Hara’s alter ego; he has the style of a Yale University graduate but not the means.

The title of the novel derives from the pattern of telephone exchange names in the United States and Canada. Until the early 1970s, telephone exchanges were indicated by two letters and commonly referred to by names instead of by numbers, with the BU represented on the telephone dial as "28," followed by four digits. In December 1930 an additional digit was appended to the exchange name. BUtterfield was an exchange that provided service to Manhattan's well-to-do Upper East Side, and BUtterfield 8 was still new when the novel was published.

The film focuses on a group of undocumented immigrants who prepare and serve food and coffee to residents of New York’s Upper East Side. The Cafe at which they work, ''63rd Street Hot and Crusty'', appears from the outside to be a fair and efficient business, however, the film reveals a situation in which workers face sub-legal wages, dangerous machinery and abusive managers who will fire them for calling in sick.

In January 2012, led by sandwich maker Mahoma Lopez, the group unionised in an attempt to get their voice heard and achieve fair working conditions. With the assistance of a number of inspired organisers from the Occupy Wall Street movement, the workers risk deportation and the loss of their livelihood as they embark on a year-long battle for a living wage against reluctant New York City investors. Their plight is complicated when their complaint to the New York State Department of Labor is ignored, as well as their requests to join larger unions on the grounds that their restaurant is too small. Their case is fought in court and on the streets as they endeavour to promote a greater recognition of undocumented workers within the United States' economy, and the injustices they face.

Copywriter Lucy Martin lives with her husband Adrian in Manhattan. The couple have been trying to conceive for two years and decide to seek out Dr. John Hindle, Adrian's former teacher and a leading fertility doctor. Lucy becomes pregnant after Dr. Hindle inseminates her, using a technique he invented. During an ultrasound she discovers she is pregnant with triplets: male twins and a female. Hindle suggests a selective reduction; either the twins or the daughter should be terminated to ensure a healthy pregnancy and birth. Adrian and Lucy decide to have the girl. Lucy joins a group of expecting mothers, where she befriends Corgan, who got pregnant using IVF. Online, Lucy discovers Grace Singleton, a spiritual midwife with a natural approach and develops a fascination with her.

During the reduction, Lucy passes out and hears Adrian and Hindle talk. Later, she bleeds excessively from her uterus, which Hindle dismisses as a common instance. Adrian presents Hindle with an award and Lucy grows wary of him. Lucy finds a safe in Adrian's office and shares with Corgan her growing suspicions that Hindle did something to her unborn daughter and Adrian is aware. After Lucy has further complications, Hindle blames this on antenatal depression and prescribes her medication, which she takes. After having a dream where she sees Hindle and Adrian having sex, Lucy opens Adrian's safe and finds a file on her, including evidence that she is being monitored. Corgan takes the file to show her lawyer husband and suggests that Lucy behave normally until she knows more. Lucy confronts Adrian, admitting she doesn't feel safe with Hindle. Lucy experiences further strange dreams and visions including nearly drowning in a bathful of bloody water.

During her baby shower, Lucy realizes that Corgan knows her real name, despite never having shared it. Corgan gifts her a copy of a first edition of J. M. Barrie's book ''Peter Pan and Wendy'' and Lucy seems to see Peter Pan's shadow morph into a weird expanding bloodstain on the book cover. Lucy confronts her and Corgan admits that she now consults Hindle too and that she gave the file to Adrian due to her worry about Lucy's mental state. She tells Lucy that Adrian denies he has a safe in his office. Lucy experiences contractions and goes to Grace to give birth, discovering she is giving birth to the male twins instead of the female baby. Before she can birth the second twin, Grace urges them to a hospital after strong bleeding but Adrian takes her to Hindle, who delivers the second baby. Disillusioned and depressed, Lucy talks to Grace but realizes that the image of her as an African-American midwife 'goddess' was unrealistic and elaborated. Grace tells Lucy that she must solve her own problem.

Lucy goes to Hindle's clinic to confront him, where she is shocked to learn Adrian will join Hindle's gynecological practice. Lucy sneaks into a secret room labelled "The Lab" in the clinic, where she finds her removed placenta and reduced female fetus. Hindle reveals it was his sperm used for inseminating Lucy, as he does with all his patients, believing his genes to be superior. He has a refrigerator full of vials of his own sperm which are used to inseminate his female patients and spread his own bloodline further through the world through male births. He attempts to drug Lucy but she kicks him and smashes his head with a mirror, then restrains him to a medical chair, after which she is attacked by a nurse, Dawn. She drugs Dawn and beats Hindle bloody, destroying his refrigerator full of sperm vials and leaving the office with the fetus.

Arriving home, she imagines herself releasing the twins to float out the window (a reference to the ''Peter Pan and Wendy'' submotif of the narrative). When Adrian comes home, he claims that the deal with Hindle would have been good for them both. Lucy gives him the twins and orders him to leave. She then picks up the female fetus and attempts to breastfeed it, hallucinating that it begins to suckle.

In 2252, a lone folk singer named Rags Parkland performs at the Over/Under, his friend Gill's subterranean Richmond, Virginia, club ("Apocalypse in Tennessee"). Between songs, Parkland reminisces about his time during a stint in a penal colony on Mars and his romance with his former bandmate, Beaux Weathers ("Android Love Song", "Talkin' Mars Dust Blues", "Stella Charlemagne"). Parkland's songs are largely covers of songs by his old band, Beaux Weathers & The Future, and during one song ("One Hundred Years of Subterranean Society Blues"), the scene shifts back to 2241 when the full band is performing that same song at the Over/Under. Parkland, Weathers, and rest of The Future reveal a world through their performance in which partially constructed and fully constructed humans are illegal ("Never Find Us Now" through "Apple in the Sky"). All members of The Future except for Parkland are, to varying degrees, constructed, yet continue to play music underground as a way to pass along their shared history and hope.

During one song ("Love You Good"), a perimeter warning light alerts the club that a raid is taking place. In defiance of the ban on constructed humans, Weathers and the rest of The Future play on against the raid, effectively giving themselves up, while Parkland shrinks back ("The Raid"). The scene shifts forward to Parkland and Gill in 2252 once again. They reveal that Weathers and the rest of the band have not been seen since that day and Parkland indicates that he intends to keep sharing their songs and spreading their story ("Delilah in the Rubble").

Rachel Darwin, a pregnant woman going through a career crisis, has recurring dreams in which a shadow man wearing a fedora forcibly removes a deformed baby from her womb. Searching online, she discovers a world of night sufferers like herself, visited by watchers while they sleep. Her husband Scott believes that her experiences are hallucinations born from a subconscious still coping with his previous infidelity and a fear of childbirth. She seeks help and determines she is suffering from sleep paralysis. Troublingly, she also sees the "Hat Man" while awake, as a distorted blur in the background of a photograph, or a flicker in the corner of an eye. Rachel believes she may be being stalked by a malevolent supernatural entity.

At her regular group therapy session for recovering addicts, Rachel shares her experience and befriends the only person who believes her, a strange man named William who claims to suffer from a similar sleep paralysis and visions. Rachel goes to William's apartment to learn more about his investigations into shadow people. His research has convinced him that multidimensional beings surround everyone, creatures who feed on human souls.

Rachel is now even more terrified. She slips into an intoxicated dream confronted by horrors from her past. The nightmares get worse and Rachel begins to struggle as she slips between reality and nightmare. Scott takes her on a weekend getaway to an isolated winter cabin to take Rachel's mind off the Hat Man and rekindle their feelings for each other.

Meanwhile, William examines photographs he secretly took of Rachel during group therapy and sees the Hat Man standing behind her. Rachel continues dreaming of the Hat Man at night and catching brief glimpses of him during the day. Frustrated with Rachel's aloofness and strange behaviour during her waking nightmares, a drunken Scott tries to rape her. Rachel knocks him out and returns to the city in their car.

William realizes that Rachel is astral projecting. She sees the Hat Man appear and kill William by supernatural means. Rachel stabs herself in order to wake up, and discovers William has indeed been killed.

Arriving at William's during the attempt to fight the shadow man, Scott finds the door locked. The Hat Man attacks Rachel, who wrests his knife away and stabs him. He dissipates. Scott tries speaking with Rachel through the door, and she realizes that her belly is bleeding. The Hat Man reforms out of the shadows and stabs Rachel repeatedly to death. The door then unlocks on its own, and Scott discovers to his horror the two corpses.

Scott is arrested for the murders. During questioning, Scott realizes that his wife was telling the truth when he sees the Hat Man materialize in a photograph as well as behind the interrogating detective.

After Batman rescues an abducted child from Bane for a ransom, Lady Shiva approaches Batman to inform him of an unknown Lazarus Pit intruder and requests his help in identifying the intruder. Batman agrees to do so as Catwoman steals the ransom. While pursuing her, a masked vigilante shoots through Batman's grapple line, causing him to fall onto the sidewalk and crack his skull. Catwoman rescues him from a gang of criminals who tried to unmask him, but Batgirl chases her away. Batgirl takes Batman back to the Batcave where Alfred and Dick Grayson create an alibi for how Bruce Wayne suffered the injury. Alfred contacts Bruce's childhood friend Thomas Elliot, a renowned brain surgeon, to aid his skull. When Bruce declares himself ready to be Batman again two weeks earlier than Thomas advised him to be up and around, Alfred gives him a new bulletproof batsuit with a padded cowl for better skull protection. Meanwhile, Catwoman delivers the ransom to Poison Ivy, who has been controlling her with a hypnotic kiss. The masked vigilante who shot Batman then arrives to confront Ivy about the ransom and gives her Kryptonite.

Batman helps Amanda Waller retrieve Bane from police custody in return for information. Waller uses the special tranquilizers supplied by him to stop Bane from escaping police custody and capture him herself. Batman later reluctantly works with Catwoman to find Ivy, following a lead given by her to Metropolis. There, Batman confronts Lex Luthor, now a probationary member of the Justice League after helping them defeat Cyborg Superman, about delivery list of an ethylene compound utilized by Ivy. Ivy uses Kryptonite lipstick to take control of Superman and orders him to kill Catwoman and Batman. Catwoman pushes Lois Lane off a building to free Superman from the mind control. After Ivy is defeated, she reveals she was acting on the orders of a vigilante known only as "Hush".

Hush later kidnaps the Joker to persuade Harley Quinn into attacking an opera Bruce, Selina, and Thomas are attending. During the commotion, Hush lures Thomas outside and kills him, framing the Joker for the murder, much to Batman's anger. The Joker attempts to claim his innocence before Batman brutally beats him and nearly kills him. Following the Joker's arrest and Thomas' funeral, Bruce deduces that Hush knows he is Batman. While on patrol, Hush catches Batman's attention and confronts him, although Hush tricks him by using mirrors. He then threatens to hurt everyone close to him, prompting Batman to reveal his identity to Catwoman. Bruce takes Selina to the Batcave, where she meets Dick and Alfred and learns of Bruce's son Damian. The two become a crime-fighting couple, but Hush later lures Dick and Selina to Thomas’ grave, where they are attacked by Scarecrow. Dick is incapacitated by Scarecrow's fear toxin while Hush kidnaps Selina.

Shortly after, Commissioner James Gordon informs Bruce of a break-in at Thomas’ office. While investigating, Batman learns that one of Thomas' patients was someone using the alias of crossword puzzle inventor Arthur Wynne, leading him to suspect the Riddler was behind the break-in. At Arkham Asylum, Batman interrogates Riddler, who reveals that he had deduced his secret identity while using the Lazarus Pit to cure his untreatable brain tumor, and took on the identity of Hush due to his lack of respect among other villains. However, Batman deduces that this "Riddler" is actually Clayface in disguise and, after defeating him, learns where the real Riddler has taken Selina: a factory whose name is an anagram of Arthur Wynne.

At the factory, Batman rescues Selina and defeats Riddler, who is growing weaker as the healing effects of the Lazarus Pit are wearing off. With the building about to explode, Batman risks his own life to try and save Riddler from falling into a vat of molten metal. Realizing this, Selina cuts the grapple line holding Riddler and lets him fall to his death to give Batman enough time to escape. Once they reach safety, Batman and Selina argue over the latter's actions and decide to call off their relationship due to Selina being unable to cope with Bruce's moral code.

Ranch owner Belle Turner (Mady Correll) owns one of the few properties along the Old Chisolm Trail that has badly-needed water for cattlemen driving their herds to Abilene, but charges exorbitant fees in return. Not willing to pay Belle five dollars a head of steer for water, Dusty Gardner (Johnny Mack Brown) and his fellow cattlemen detour his herd to Lost River, where he meets Mary Lee (Jennifer Holt), the blond proprietor of the local trading post, and gambler Montana Smith (Tex Ritter). Since the river mysteriously ran dry, Mary has to ship water in to keep her business alive. Realizing that Belle has illegally diverted the water from the river, Dusty goes into the town of Gunsight to get an injunction against Belle but the town sheriff offers little help and instead recommends that Dusty and Belle meet at Mary’s trading post to work out their differences. During the meeting Belle's men stampede Dusty’s unattended herd onto her land and she informs Dusty that she’s holding the herd hostage until he pays her the fees she originally demanded. Furious at her maneuvering, Mary confronts Belle and the two women fight each other. Belle storms out of the trading post with her men having lost the fight with Mary. Subsequently, Dusty and the other cattlemen decide to leave their herds on Belle’s ranch to "fatten up," while they pursue an attempt to drill for their own water supply. Belle learns of their plans and has her men sabotage the drilling equipment. Realizing the nature of Belle’s ways, Montana double-crosses Belle and helps Dusty buy new equipment.

As the group heads home, Shido begins to see a mysterious girl who is only visible to him, but the latter quickly disappears. The next morning, Shido finds a mysterious huge sphere hovering above Tengu City, but it appears invisible to everyone and can only be detected by the ''Fraxinus'' radar. Reine Murasame suspects the sphere is formed by the six girls' Spirit energies that they emit unconsciously due to their strong feelings for Shido. She suggests Shido date each of the six girls to relieve their emotional desire and make the sphere disappear, starting with Kaguya, Miku, Yoshino, Yuzuru, Kotori, and Tohka. The mysterious girl watches over Shido as he dates each of the girls.

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are training in the Command Center when it is breached by Lord Drakkon, an alternate future version of Tommy Oliver trained by Rita Repulsa who killed her and the other Rangers in his dimension. Despite the arrival of Time Force Ranger Jen Scotts from the future, Drakkon manages to kill the younger Tommy and escapes. With his Chaos Crystal now charged by Tommy's green chaos energy, Drakkon and his forces begin travelling across time and space, using his Dragon Cannons to remove Rangers' powers and steal their morphers. Zordon sends a warning through the Morphin Grid and, with Jen's help, begins sending Rangers through time to protect other Rangers being pursued by Drakkon.

During an encounter with the Ranger Slayer, a future version of herself from Drakkon's universe, Kimberly Hart manages to free her from Drakkon's control, though Ranger Slayer continues to feign loyalty to avert suspicion. The Rangers regroup at Corinth, where Dr. K is working on a way to disrupt the Dragon Cannons, but they come under attack by Drakkon's forces, including several Power Rangers placed under his control. Drakkon, who has powered himself up using the stolen morphers, arrives and overwhelms the Rangers, forcing them to retreat to the Command Center. Ranger Slayer arrives and reveals Drakkon's plan is to gain full control of the Morphin Grid and rewrite reality, using the morphers to increase his resonance with it. She suggests destroying his tower in their home dimension, preventing him from crossing dimensions and sharing his morphers' powers with his armies.

Act 1

Act one opens on Juma and Kitaru out for a walk. They stop in front of a baobab tree and begin a performance of 'The Devil and Man'. Juma plays the Devil and Kitaru, the man. The rest of the act is performed with the added layer of the Devil (Juma) and Kitaru (Man), until the very end when Juma breaks character to reconcile with Kitaru after the dark subject matter scares them.
 The Devil transforms into a bird, and flaunts other tricks, to convince Man of his supernatural superiority. The Devil then insists Man express the fear, and other emotions, Man feels in his heart—on his face. The Devil wants to see his effect on Man. The Devil explains that if you wear the emotions other people desire on your face, even if they contrast with those in your heart, they will eventually merge. The Devil then demands Man approach him. After several attempts, Man approaches and bows in reverence, and The Devil is immediately pleased and begins to laugh, becoming violent. He then transforms into a "gentle, meek, and humble man", keep in mind he is still spiritually masked as The Devil. He then starts to grin (in pain), then laughs inaudibly. The Devil then commands Man to repeatedly say the devilish word "gashalazeritwas" (unclear in meaning), however, it has a very powerful effect on Man. As The Devil repeats his command, it slowly tortures Man by drawing blood and breaking his organs.  This results in The Man fainting from the pain while The Devil grins. The Devil speaks to Man on the bitterness of birth; he faints again. Lights out. 
The Man wakes up much later, huddled under the baobab tree. He can hear The Devil but cannot see him; The Devil taunts him with laughter. He reveals he has transformed himself into the wind. Man wants The Devil to fight him, he wants to kill The Devil. They argue for a while and The Devil agrees to reveal himself under the conditions that he gets to make three requests, the Man obliges. The Devil reappears and states his first request, "Have you ever heard of someone who slaughtered himself?” Two, that Man celebrates his death before he kills him, and three, that Man chooses how they celebrate. Man decides on a waltz. The pair happily waltz and drink wine. Suddenly, The Devil offers Man the knife in which he kills him. With every stab to the ribs, The Devil laughs harder until he is dead. The Man observes the corpse and reconciles with his actions. He then sings a song under the baobab tree. Man begins to monologue about the previous events and how they altered him. It is at the end of this monologue that  Man is transformed back into Kitaru and exits the stage. Juma appears after, trying to reconcile with Kitaru. He calls for him, but Kitaru does not respond. Juma exits the stage. Blackout.

Act 2

The entirety of Act Two is performed in the dark, with fog. There are small bursts of light, often red but not always. The act takes place inside of Kitaru's mind, therefore his head must be placed on stage somehow (picture, projection, etc.). There is laughter throughout the act that is supposed to drown out the actors, and they must compete with it—later resulting in a harsh silence.

Scene One

Inside Kitaru's house, Mama Kitaru iron's clothes. Juma arrives looking for Kitaru. Mama Kitaru explains that he is not in, however, the two of them converse about how hard both the men in their families work. Mama Kitaru explains how overworked she feels. Later, Juma and Kitaru converse in his room about classes and the pros and cons of attending university. After Juma offers to go to the cinema, Kitaru declines his offer because the only film Juma wants to see is one about cowboys and "Indians". Their conversation slowly becomes an argument about the oppressed/the oppressor, Kitaru remembers the play from a few days ago. Harsh laughter is inserted throughout their argument. Baba Kitaru arrives while they argue. He shows the family his new Mercedes Benz. Their frightening laughter grows. Juma exits. Kitaru and Baba Kitaru drive off.

Scene Two

Bab Kitaru reads the newspaper, Mama Kitaru sews, and Kitaru tries to read a book but is distracted. Mfaume arrives at the top of the act. The three converse for a moment, then Baba Kitaru notices Kitaru is lost in thought. Kitaru explains the play about Devils and his infatuation with it. Kitaru then explains the sense of separation he feels with Juma, resulting in him running off stage. Baba Kitaru and Mama Kitaru discuss the incident, Mama Kitaru expresses her concern about the devil. Bab Kitaru dismisses the incident as nothing more than a headache.

Scene Three

Later, Kitaru sits in the house, thinking; Mama Kitaru enters. Kitaru explains he is thinking of a story Juma's grandmother told them the other day, the story of a devilish fish. Kitaru explains devils to his mother, she grows fearful of her son. She dismisses Kitaru's stories as myths of their culture's past. Mfaume enters and Mama Kitaru exits. Kitaru asks Mfaume if he believes in devils. Mfaume explains their hidden nature and continues with his work. Kitaru is left on stage, fearful.

Scene Four

Kitaru has been asleep for a long time. Mama and Baba Kitaru argue over which doctor will best treat him, a medical one or the witch doctor. The medical doctor arrives and dismisses Kitaru's state as neurosis and mental exhaustion, which is why he gave him sleeping pills. The doctor suggests Kitaru see a psychiatrist if his condition doesn't improve.

Act 3

Act three takes place in Juma's home. Mama Juma has a problem with Juma's attitude, yet Grandmother believes Mama Juma's arguments to be flawed. She is bitter about the wealth taken away from their family and mentions everything Juma would've had. Juma leaves right before Baba Juma comes home. The second scene takes place in a bar and centers around Juma, two waiters and two customers. Waiter one asks if the customers would like a double or single whisky, and Customer one responds defensively, assuming the waiter has just underestimated his knowledge about whisky. Customer two tries to defuse the tension by explaining the situation to Customer one, but Customer one disregards him. He then explains to Customer two that this is the African man's time and that he refuses to die a poor man. The scene ends with Juma deciding whether or not he will discuss with Kitaru, and he chooses not to.

Act 4

Act four begins with Juma visiting Kitaru's house. Juma discovers that Kitaru has been acting strange. Kitaru has been quieter than usual, sleeping for an abnormally large amount of time, and sweating profusely. He tells Juma, "...in the dream-world a person sees the truth more clearly than in real life." Kitaru reveals he has been having bad thoughts ever since rehearsing the play. He describes a dream in which he sprouted feathers that soon turned into wings. Kitaru saw the feathers as a positive until terror set in and the feathers wouldn't disappear, even when he tried picking them out. Kitaru also reveals that Juma has been present in his dreams, assuming the form of a doctor and dispersed laughter. Kitaru asks Juma if they can rehearse the play again, and after some hesitation, Juma agrees. Scene two takes place in the dark amidst the baobab tree. For this rehearsal, Kitaru demands to play the devil. Juma refuses, and the two get into a physical fight. Juma believes he and Kitaru can no longer see each other, arguing, "A person climbing a ladder and a person coming down a ladder can't shake hands." The play ends with Kitaru calling after Juma and then silence.

The episode begins with BoJack (voiced by Will Arnett) lying in bed while his internal monologue calls him a "stupid piece of shit." Hollyhock (Aparna Nancherla) asks BoJack to go to the store to get some milk, but he spends the day at the bar instead. The next day, BoJack avoids having breakfast with Hollyhock and his mother Beatrice (Wendie Malick), instead sitting in his car on the side of Mulholland Drive. Throughout this, the viewer continues to hear BoJack's self-berating inner voice, sometimes accompanied by cartoon drawings illustrating his thoughts and fears.

Meanwhile, actress Courtney Portnoy (Sharon Horgan) tells Princess Carolyn (Amy Sedaris) that she has fired her agent and replaced him with Carolyn's ex, Rutabaga Rabitowitz (Ben Schwartz). Rutabaga wants Portnoy to have a high-profile wedding to her fake fiancé Todd Chavez (Aaron Paul), who is still coming to terms with his asexuality.

When BoJack arrives home, he finds that Hollyhock has given Beatrice a baby horse doll to look after, in the hopes that it would aid her dementia. BoJack becomes angry with the doll, which is receiving better treatment from Beatrice than he himself ever did, and throws the doll over the side of his house. Beatrice becomes upset and, at Hollyhock's urging, BoJack agrees to bring the doll back. He enlists the help of Mr. Peanutbutter (Paul F. Tompkins), who uses his sense of smell to find the doll at Felicity Huffman's house. Huffman calls BoJack a "stupid piece of shit."

Rutabaga and Carolyn successfully devise a plan to prevent Meryl Streep from retiring the same day as Portnoy's wedding. Although the wedding falls through at Todd's behest, Rutabaga and Carolyn are happy with how well they work as a team. Rutabaga returns to his family, and Princess Carolyn removes a positive pregnancy test from her purse.

After returning home with the baby doll, BoJack finds Hollyhock in the backyard. Hollyhock asks him if her own negative inner voice is a "dumb teenage girl thing" that will go away with time. BoJack lies to her and says that it will.

Sunset Shimmer and her friends, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle, prepare Canterlot High School's yearbook. At the office, the group meets Wallflower Blush, a meek and quiet girl who has been ignored and forgotten by the school even though she has been there for years. Trixie then appears, demanding that Sunset puts her in the yearbook as "The Greatest and Powerfullest", which Sunset points out is not a real category. Trixie responds that Sunset was selected as "Biggest Meanie" in first year, but Pinkie Pie points out it was because the whole school voted for her in that category as a product of her previous actions as a bully. Angered, Trixie claims that she will have her revenge, before leaving.

The next day, Sunset goes to the beach to hang out with her friends. However, upon arriving, she discovers that most of her friends' memories of her have been erased, with Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Applejack only remembering her misdeeds as a bully, and Twilight merely remembering the time she yelled at her during the Friendship Games. After failing to convince her friends that she's their friend, she writes to Twilight's pony counterpart a message asking if she remembers her. When Twilight answers positively, Sunset asks her to meet her in Equestria. Once she returns to the pony world, Sunset explains everything to Princess Twilight Sparkle. With no other options avaibable, the two travel to Canterlot to consult Princess Celestia, Sunset's former mentor whom she betrayed before traveling to the human world. Once in Celestia's castle, Sunset apologizes for her actions and the two reconcile, after which they and Twilight go to the castle's library's restricted section to investigate, suspecting Equestrian magic to be behind everything.

After hours of research, Twilight and Sunset find ancient writings about the "Memory Stone", a magical artifact capable of erasing both memories and fragments of memories, and ended up in the human world after Clover the Clever defeated a sorceress using it. Realizing somebody is using the stone to make everyone hate her again, Sunset returns to the human world, where she once again tries to explain her friends everything, only for Trixie to refute her claims. Suspecting Trixie is using the Memory Stone as her revenge for what happened the previous day, Sunset confronts Trixie in the school, only to realize she is innocent. After Sunset explains her situation, Trixie offers her help in exchange of appearing in the yearbook, which Sunset agrees. The two interrogate students throughout the school, but fail to find out anything about the stone or who has it. Meanwhile, in Equestria, Princess Twillight discovers that the stone's effects become permanent if the stone isn't destroyed by the third day after its use, after which she sends a warning to Sunset.

In the school's yearbook office, Sunset reads Princess Twilight's warning, which also includes a drawing of the stone's possible location. Realizing that the drawing is strikingly similar to a picture in Wallflower's screensaver, which Wallflower says she took at the school's garden, Sunset reads her mind and discovers that Wallflower is the culprit, having erased everyone's good memories of Sunset as revenge for her never noticing her. As Wallflower explains her motives, Sunset tries to steal the Memory Stone, but fails. In order to prevent them from trying to take the stone again, Wallflower erases Sunset and Trixie's memories of their meeting, and locks them in the office. However, Sunset had previously recorded everything in a drone Twilight previously made, making the two remember the incident. Trixie then uses one of her stage tricks to help Sunset escape, but is forced to remain behind.

Sunset confronts Wallflower at the school's parking lot, where Wallflower accidentally reveals her actions in front of Sunset's friends. After Sunset fails to reason with her, Wallflower tries to erase all of Sunset's friends' memories of high school, thus destroying their friendship. Sunset, however, jumps in and lets herself getting hit instead, erasing all of her memories of the human world. Touched by her sacrifices, Sunset's friends openly declare her their friend once again. After this, their geodes activate, transforming them into their powered forms, after which they destroy the stone, restoring everybody's memories. The Mane 6 then apologize to Sunset for acting like selfish bullies when they had their memories erased, but Sunset doesn't blame them and is just glad to have them back to normal. Wallflower then apologizes, explaining that she became corrupted by the stone's power after continuously using it to erase embarrassing memories of herself from others, and the group forgives her.

The next day, Sunset informs Princess Twilight of the stone's destruction while thanking her. The school's yearbooks are released, with Trixie discovering that Sunset kept her part of their deal, and Wallflower discovers that her picture as best garderner contains the signatures of Sunset and her friends.

Following his imprisonment, Kiya reveals that she accidentally killed her family after she was infected with Morphin Grid Energy. The Omega Rangers travel to Breel, where an alliance of villains is hosted by Rita Repulsa's estranged daughter, Queen Adriyel. When the Omega Rangers attempt to escape, Adriyel comes close to capturing them until she is killed by Cavotus, a member of her people who had been enslaved and tortured for some time. After the Rangers escape Breel, the Blue Emissary suggests imprisoning Cavotus.

On Earth, Lord Zedd hires a mercenary named Dayne for his next plan. After analyzing the Rangers' data, Dayne disables their blasters and overpowers them. During the fight, Tommy gets injured. In his second encounter, Dayne almost destroys the Thunder Megazord. However, the Omega Rangers arrive in time to capture Dayne, though they cannot reveal their identities to the other Rangers to keep the timeline stable. While Tommy fully recovers, his team debates whether they need help for a similar situation. Meanwhile, Jason persuades the Blue Emissary to let the Omega Rangers attack Lord Zedd's castle on their own. After a brief fight on the Earth's moon, the Omega Rangers capture Zedd. However, Goldar, Squatt, Baboo, and Finster escape with Zedd's broken staff.

Sometime later, Kiya becomes obsessed with preventing Tommy from becoming Lord Drakkon after briefly connecting to Jason's mind and seeing his memories, so she murders the Blue Emissary after they confessed to turning Tommy into the White Ranger and almost destroys Xi. She also frees Garrison Vox and Cavotus from their jars to form her own team, the Anointed, so they can eradicate all Rangers. With Xi's help, Jason, Trini, and Zack travel back to Earth, where they are forced to reveal their identities to the other Rangers and have them tend to an injured Jason.

Following this revelation, both teams are fraught by distrust. While Jason continues recovering, Rocky, Aisha, and Adam offer to help Trini and Zack travel to Safehaven, where Kiya plans on gathering followers for her Anointed. Meanwhile, Tommy argues with Jason about how the latter was forced to lie to everybody, but they later come to terms with returning to Safehaven. When Cavotus attacks Xi's spaceship, Rocky, Aisha, Adam, Trini, and Zack are saved by the Ranger Slayer, who kills Cavotus before explaining her team's journey to the Splintered Star.

In the final battle, Ellarien and Remi, the Solar Rangers, return and use the Solarix to strip the Anointed from their Morphin Energy, Jason and Tommy defeat Garrison Vox, Trini defeats Kiya, and Dayne frees Lord Zedd as they both retreat. The Ranger Slayer and the Solar Rangers return to their respective universes, Kiya and Garrison Vox are locked up, and the rest of the Anointed are forgiven. Jason, Trini and Zack still remain as Omega Rangers while the others receive the unexpected return of Tommy's evil counterpart, Lord Drakkon, who has survived the Shattered Grid's effects, and delivers them a warning about a new threat.
