The show revolved around Robert Moses who at the start of his career, helped create dozens of bridges and miles of road ostensibly to better serve the community. His charm helped him. His intimidating presence ensured that everyone listened to him. This change was met by public outcry though in later years, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography by Robert Caro took Robert Moses down. Regardless of his actions, Moses changed the New York City skyline.

The novel opens with a prologue recounting a chance meeting after a space of many years between the narrator, a writer, and John Braille, a successful painter famed for his technically accomplished but showy portraits of rich patrons. Braille has recently exhibited a new portrait demonstrating a complete change of artistic direction. "The Mother" is a superbly sensitive and nuanced portrayal of a woman in a grey dress leaning on a grand piano and looking at her khaki-clad son as he stands before her ready to answer the call of war. The narrator, deeply moved by the painting, asks if he could set down the story of the woman depicted, whom he recognises as Olga Bardel.

Born into extreme poverty in Canning Town, a slum area of London, Olga Bardel's early years as an orphan were spent trying to escape punishment at the hands of her much older drunken and sometimes violent siblings, and in attempting to avoid the notice of her terrifying and controlling Uncle Grubhofer, a wire spring dealer who owns their lodgings. Her early interest in music develops when she secretly creeps into Uncle Grubhofer's room to play with the metal springs he keeps as part of his stock in trade.

Recognising the child's innate musical ability, a schoolteacher who also rents rooms from Grubhofer provides her with piano lessons. Quickly outstripping her teacher, Olga finds herself being forced by her uncle to make money for him by playing popular piano tunes at a local fairground, and then being marketed as "Olga Barjelski", a child prodigy of the concert platform, by a syndicate in which he owns shares. Unable to take any more of the syndicate's complete control over her life, Olga runs away and throws herself on the mercy of Mrs Fittleworth, a wealthy American widow. She lives happily with her for some years.

At a house party, Olga is introduced to the artist John Braille, with whom she makes an instant connection. But then she meets and falls passionately in love with Harry Streatham, a composer, whom she ultimately marries. Harry, however, is not a good match: he stifles her creativity and disapproves of her performing career. Braille offers to paint her portrait, but the creative emotional strain is too much for him and he goes abroad, leaving no address.

Harry and Olga divorce, leaving Olga with two young boys to bring up alone. She cannot get Braille out of her mind, but is unable to find him. Eventually, realising that she will never be able to afford to educate the boys on her own she agrees to marry the middle-aged Sir Philip Ballater, a cultured museum director whom she has already been forced to rely on financially. She becomes Lady Ballater and spends the next few years hating the social round of events that she now has to attend. She plays her piano now only in private and to friends.

Braille returns to England, never having heard of Olga's divorce and re-marriage. The pair arrange a brief evening assignation in the park, and agree to run away together – though by the next morning both have had second thoughts. Then, Sir Philip unexpectedly dies.

The novel concludes with an epilogue in which Braille fills in the remainder of Olga's story for the narrator. Olga's elder son Richard signs up with the War Office, although still under age at seventeen, and Braille is there to observe mother and son's final parting as Richard in his khaki uniform goes off to war. He realises that he and his art will never be the same again. Olga and Braille embrace.

Billy Gondolstein (Richard Lewis) is a young Jewish stand-up comic from New York City who decides to change his surname to Gondola and try his luck on the Los Angeles comedy scene, much to his family's dismay.

In Los Angeles, Billy reconnects with his cousin, Shirley Gondolstein, also from New York. She advises Billy that she now goes by the name "Shi" and that "Essence is all that matters to me anymore." Shi lives in a bare apartment and, while Billy is visiting, her boyfriend Fred (now known as "Fre") shows-up to dump some straw on the floor. Shi tells Billy that the straw is "a queen-sized bed."

Billy soon finds that everyone he meets is either obsessed with celebrity or is an out-of-work performer working a part-time job: His landlord, Mr. Porzinski (Stacy Keach) also works as a stunt man and Billy takes a cab and finds out that his driver is also a composer. One of Billy's neighbors (Linda Kerridge) is the spitting image of Marilyn Monroe. Billy visits a psychotherapist (Richard Dimitri) whose office walls are covered with the pictures of the celebrities he has treated, with their eyes covered with strips of black tape to supposedly protect their identities. On his way out of the therapist's office, Billy remarks "Say, isn't that Flipper?"

Dom DeLuise, George Jessel, Gary Mule Deer, Nina van Pallandt and Loudon Wainwright III all make cameo appearances in the film as themselves.

Polar Bear is stranded in space. Having found a nearby alien space station, he must collect the 99 krystals scattered across its underground caverns. Once collected, he can then use these krystals to charge and operate the station transporter in order to escape.

As described in a film magazine reviews, Rambo, the father of Marie, is killed in a fight with a half-breed and with Belleau. The latter rides away. He is met by Fitzgerald, constable of the Northwest Mounted Police. When Fitzgerald hears of the killing, he sends out McKenna, sergeant of the force, whose face is familiar, it seems to Fitzgerald. The latter believes McKenna is the man who killed Rambo and pursues him after McKenna has started out to find Belleau. Marie hears of McKenna’s peril and starts in pursuit. When McKenna reaches the Belleau home, he finds Belleau wounded. He recognizes him as his long lost brother. He takes the blame of the killing upon himself. Marie reaches them and, in her love for him, pleads that he might not confess the crime. The half-breed learns that the guilt has been put on Marie’s lover. He then confesses the crime himself.

While trying to rescue a friend from being abused by a police officer, Alex is seriously injured by a gunshot. Wandering between life and death, the Devil tells him that he must become his servant in order to answer for the breach of the pact of his father, a torturer during the military dictatorship.

''La Fortaleza'' is inspired by the real life story of the filmmaker's father, Jorge Roque Thielen, who in turn plays the main character. It is noted that the film oscillates between fiction and reality.

Roque, the protagonist, dives into the jungle to escape from his alcoholism, his demons and the social and economic crisis in Venezuela. However, the meeting with old friends and the promises of gold at a work in a mine divert his desire for redemption and he enters a vicious circle of violence around mining. This will make him sink in a cycle that devours his interior. In that moment, he will need the fortitude to emerge from the darkness and walk toward a new beginning.

They go to the campus where Naomi works and visit her office. Naomi recalls their last night together. Kris apologizes again, they argue, and Naomi reveals Kris impregnated her before abandoning her. The real reason for the change in her career was her decision to keep the child. Naomi tells Kris that she will never be a mother. Kris says Naomi has no one to blame for her sad life. The last scene shows Naomi performing, lying down next to a painting of a pregnant belly before destroying the art, symbolically accepting who she is.

The inspiration for filming ''La Soledad'' emerged from the childhood memories and experiences of the director in the family house of his grandparents, in the city of Caracas, Venezuela. After living years abroad, he came back to the country to shoot in that same house a film that sways between documentary and fiction.

The house, which is itself a character, has been practically abandoned by his family and is about to collapse. It is now the home of new occupants: Rosina, who was formerly an employee of the owners, and her grandson José. The "proprietors" decide to demolish it and "the squatters" must seek a new place to live in. The film portrays core issues of contemporary Venezuelan society.

The film follows the exploits of the French mercenary Bob Denard in the Congo between 1964 and 1967. The story begins in July 1967 with Denard who has just staged a rebellion against President Joseph-Désiré Mobutu of the Congo giving a rousing speech to his mercenaries while looking worried when he reads a message from Paris. Denard and his men are engaged in heavy fighting against the ''Armée Nationale Congolaise'' and Denard is wounded.

In a delirious state, Denard flash-backs to 1964 when he was hired by the ''Service de Documentation Extérieure et de Contre-Espionnage'' (SDECE) to go to the Congo to fight for the pro-Western Premier Moïse Tshombe, who has just lost control of the entire eastern half of the Congo to the leftwing Simba rebellion supported by Cuba and China. Denard is bored with civilian life in Paris, and embraces the chance to go to Congo to have some adventure. There is much distrust between the members of the Katangese Gendarmerie who have returned from exile with Tshombe and their former enemies in the ''Armée Nationale Congolaise'' led by Mobutu who are uneasily fighting together against the Simbas. Denard and his mercenaries defeat the Simbas while being greatly resented by general Mobutu of the ''Armée Nationale Congolaise'' who feels that the decision to hire European mercenaries is an adverse comment upon his military competence. The Simbas have committed terrible atrocities and Denard and his mercenaries find scenes of carnage everywhere they go, being greeted with quiet relief.

Denard marries a Congolese nurse, Marie-Elise, who he has rescued from the Simbas. Denard chooses to stay in the Congo after the Simba revolt is put down, and earns the respect through not the trust of Mobutu after he tells him that he wants to train the ''Armée Nationale Congolaise'' up to European standards. Denard is both fascinated with and repulsed by Mobutu. Denard finds himself caught in a conflict between the followers of Tshombe and Mobutu, which to a certain extent is also a proxy struggle between the SDECE which supports Tshombe and the CIA which supports Mobutu.

In November 1965, Mobutu takes power in a coup. In July 1966, the former members of the Katangese Gendarmerie led by Colonel Sango revolt against Mobutu while Denard tries to stay neutral. After the mutiny is put down, Mobutu has Sango and the other mutineers gruesomely executed. Denard has an uneasy relationship with Mobutu, which worsens when he learns that Mobutu takes it as his right to sleep with the wives of his officers, being informed that this is an old custom of the Ngbandi kings that Mobutu has revived. Mobutu's insistence that he be allowed to have sex with Marie Elise reflects his increasing megalomania and sultanistic tendencies as he insists that everything and everyone in the Congo belongs to him. At a party, Denard pulls Marie Elise away from Mobutu as he leads her towards his bedroom to the rage of the president. Eventually, Denard together with the Belgian mercenary/planter Jean Schramme discover that Mobutu is planning their executions and decide to revolt with a promise of support from the governments of France and Belgium. Denard launches his revolt in 1967 and then learns the French and Belgians have withdrawn their support at the last minute owing to American objections, leaving him to face the ''Armée Nationale Congolaise'' alone. Denard fights on, but is defeated and is forced to retreat into Rwanda. As the film ends, Denard observes that there will be more wars in Africa and hence more work for men like him.

Set in the year 2040, a group of outlaws prey upon the small cities in hopes to obtain any water they might possess. When they attempt to take over the town of Chinle, a mysterious warrior named Michael (Carradine) leads a band of fighters to ward off their attack.

Jorge Thielen Armand is a young filmmaker who left Venezuela, his home country, when he was 15 years old. Years later, as an adult in 2019, he decided to go back, specifically to the Amazon jungle, with the only goal of telling the story of his father in a deeply personal film. Jorge Roque Thielen, the director's father, plays himself in the feature.

In the movie it is easily perceived that fiction and reality intertwine. The theme of ''El Father Plays Himself'' shows an act of love and ambition that transforms into a difficult process during the filming, which forces both father and son to face their past and make peace with it. In the words of the director, “it is the clash of fear and love”.

Brightness Reef

Brightness Reef introduces the reader to the planet ''Jijo'', a world that had been declared fallow, but one area, known as The Slope, is illegally inhabited by eight different galactic races, most supposedly seeking the "Path of Redemption", the goal of which is to devolve into a non-sapient life form, to be re-uplifted by a new patron race in the future. The peaceful, primitive society of Jijo is severely disrupted by the arrival of offworlders, first a mysterious mute human, followed by a starship belonging to the Rothen, a race of galactic criminals, and their human devotees, the Daniks. The Commons of Jijo establishes an uneasy, distrustful relationship with the Daniks for a short time, but events accelerate rapidly and it becomes clear that the Rothen are amoral, attempting to cause friction between the races of the Commons, and possibly genocidal. Jijoan religious fanatics also cause friction and in some cases commit acts of destruction and violence, further complicating matters.

At the same time, elsewhere on Jijo, a young member of Hoon race named Alvin and his friends from several races receive unexpected help in their quest to make a bathysphere for underwater exploring. They are assisted by Uriel, a sage of the urrish race, who asks their help in locating a hidden underwater cache of galactic technology. The bathysphere fails while deep underwater, and the young crew is rescued by mysterious metal-clad beings. On the other end of "the Slope" a small group of humans attempts to quietly form a new settlement that may escape the murderous intent of the Rothen, but they find their Danik servants already there. A fight ensues and the group is scattered.

Back at the glade of gathering where the Commons of Jijo was in conflict with the Daniks, their differences suddenly become moot when a much larger starship lands directly atop the Rothen craft, imprisoning it in a quantum time-shifted substance. The huge battleship is revealed to be operated by the terrifying Jophur, the supremely egotistical and violent form of the peaceful and kind Trakei that live on Jijo.

Infinity's Shore

Alvin's group find themselves on a mysterious ship hidden deep in Jijo's seas. They are treated kindly but remain ignorant of who captured/rescued them from the depths. The reader, however, becomes aware they are aboard ''Streaker'', the dolphin-crewed EarthClan ship not seen since the events of Startide Rising, some two years earlier in the series internal timeline. The crew is astonished to find all the different races living on Jijo, and the human commander, Gillian Baskin, is unsure what to do with the youngsters. She sends a dolphin raiding party to the mainland where both a Jophur and Danik support craft have crashed after fighting one another, and they return with Rety, a human child from a band of even more primitive humans leading a wretched existence outside the society of the Slope, and Dwer, chief scout of the Commons, who has a strained but genuine friendship with the young girl. They are accompanied by Mudfoot, known to Dwer as annoying "noor beast" but recognized by the ''Streaker'' crew as a Tytlal, a client race of the Tymbrini, Earthclan's closest and most loyal allies, notorious for elaborate pranks.

Back on the Slope, the Jophur commit terrible acts of war, they are especially enraged to find the G'kek race on Jijo, as they had engaged in a war of extermination against them and they were believed to be extinct. The Commons are secretly communicating with the Daniks aboard their now-submerged spacecraft, and are also constructing numerous new weapons and primitive technologies to improve their communication and defense capabilities. The Jophur remain ignorant of most of these efforts as they are simply unable to recognize them for what they are, but they do capture Lark Koolhan and Ling. The two of them manage to escape captivity and hide on the Jophur ship, which they learn is named ''Polkihjy''.

Gillian Baskin decides to send the young friends into exile on a small island, for their own protection, but Alvin realizes at the last moment whose ship they have been on and demands to be allowed to stay. Contact is established between ''Streaker'' and Uriel the smith, and there is an exchange of personnel and equipment at Wuphon Port. Gillian is astounded to find her old crew mate Emerson, is the mysterious mute stranger who has been traveling with Sara Koolhan, they both join ''Streaker'' while much of her crew is left on Jijo. ''Streaker'' makes a bold escape attempt from Jijo using dozens of ancient derelict craft from the ocean bottom as decoys, as well as decoy balloons overseen by Dwer Koolhan. ''Polkihjy'' leaves Jijo to pursue ''Streaker'', and Jijo's part in the tale ends with Nelo planning to rebuild his paper mill that was destroyed by religious fanatics.

As ''Streaker'' desperately flees towards the nearest hyperspace transfer point, Jijo's "Holy Egg" emits a powerful psychic blast that is felt by nearly everyone, and temporarily stuns the entire crew of the Jophur battleship.

Heaven's Reach

The final installment introduces a new character, Harry Harms, the first neochimp to be selected to serve as a scout for the Navigation Institute, and new setting, the bizarre realm of "E-level hyperspace". Harry detects unusual activity and eventually encounters Rety and Dwer, who had an improbable reunion aboard one of the decoy ships and wandered into E-level hyperspace due to their total lack of knowledge of space technology. Harry brings them to Kazzkark, his home base, normally a sleepy outpost for galactic institutes but now teeming with refugees and the home of a strange new religion.

''Streaker'' has received assistance and guidance from an unlikely ally, hydrogen-breathing life forms and machine lifeforms in their employ. The crew is dismayed to find that they have arrived back at the massive fractal world where they had been betrayed before by supposedly neutral members of the Retired Order. Old resentments seemingly rekindle and the fractal world erupts into fighting and chaos, resulting in millions of deaths and the collapse of the delicate structure of the world. ''Streaker'' narrowly evades another ambush and manages to escape in the chaos, still pursued by ''Polkihjy'', which is barely under Jophur control as it has been invaded by hydrogen-breathing life forms. Lark, Ling, and the former Trakei sage Asx have all merged with one single gigantic life form now occupying much of the ship, which they simply call "Mother".

On Kazzkark, the youths from Wuphon Port, having been sent away because Gillian fears ''Streaker'' is on a suicide mission, arrive along with Kaa, the dolphin hotshot pilot. Alvin befriends local Hoons and he and Huck depart with them as they flee Kazzkark, which is becoming unstable. Ur-ronn meets starfaring urs and leaves with them. Pincer-Tip is killed by Ro-kenn, who was stowed away on their shuttle. Rety has become enamored of the new religious cult on Kazzkark and believes she is being held up as a leader of the movement, when in fact the cult plans to sacrifice her as a symbol of what they believe will be ultimately necessary, the sacrifice of Earth itself and all of EarthClan. Dwer and Harry, now joined by a Synthian trader, rescue Rety from the cult and barely escape Kazzkark as space tremors tear it apart. It is clear that a foretold "Time of Changes" is upon the civilization of the five galaxies, and momentous and often catastrophic events are occurring out on the space lanes. The group travel through E-Space, on what proves to be Harry's final mission for the Navigation Institute. Kaa, pushing his skills to the absolute limit, manages to get them back to Jijo's system just as all transfer threads in that entire galaxy collapse, meaning that galaxy is now cut off from the civilization of the five galaxies. They spot several other ships similarly stranded or destroyed, as well as a small rocket traveling ''from'' Jijo to a neighboring moon.

''Streaker'' is forced to negotiate with members of the Transcendent Order, who wish to send them as emissaries to a distant galaxy. They convince the Transcendents, who send ''Polkihjy'' instead. Lark manages to briefly communicate with ''Streaker'' before they are cast into deep space, giving them several pieces of crucial information. ''Streaker'' finally arrives at the Earth system, which is heavily besieged by a massive space armada. They attempt to break through the lines by distracting the fleet with a strange, taunting holographic message. The tactic works better than imagined, frightening the fanatics into believing that they may have offended the Progenitors, and they give up the siege. Earth is free, for now.

Temptation

Temptation is a novella set in the immediate aftermath of ''Streaker's'' departure from Jijo, detailing the bizarre adventure of a small group of neodolphins left behind there.

Duke and Lura are a married couple operating a rural roadside motor camp, lunchroom and filling station in southern California during the Great Depression. A hired hand working for the couple, who remains unnamed in the story, serves as witness and commentator to what transpires. The narrator is secretly devoted to the beautiful Lura, a country woman of independent character and tremendous physical strength. Duke, prone to boasting, is less vital and self-assured than his wife.

In hopes of drawing more customers, Duke decides to establish a feline exhibit. As such, he buys a number of untamed bobcats. Duke immediately proves inept at handling the animals, and violently kills one of the caged cats. The narrator is dismayed and angered when his Duke enlists him to remove the carcass from among the antagonized bobcats. After Duke departs, Lura arrives, assesses the situation, and enters the enclosure; her poise and gentle entreaties sooth the animals, and she removes the dead bobcat. The narrator and Lura implicitly agree not to inform Duke of her courage and easy success with the cats.

Eager to create a menagerie, Duke purchases a mountain lion. When the female cat's nocturnal vocalizations draw a wild male lion from the surrounding countryside, the suitor inexplicably finds his way into her—a breach impossible without human meddling. Duke is dumbfounded, but credulous. Presumably the cats mate, and the male is dubbed "Romeo". Lura implies to the suspicious narrator her satisfaction with, or perhaps clandestine involvement in, the incident.

Styling himself as a skilled animal trainer, Duke puts on shows in which he enters the cat enclosures with a whip and a pistol to entertain the customers. Lura silently seethes at her husband’s absurd and dangerous buffoonery. Business suffers.

Duke compounds his delusional behavior when he purchases a bengal tiger. He is determined to tame "Rajah". Despite the narrator's warnings, Duke enters the tiger cage only to discover that the animal has instantly identified the intruder as prey: Duke barely escapes with his life. Lura is informed of his panicked and humiliating retreat as witnessed by the customers. When Duke attempts to rationalize his failure to Lura, she reacts to his self-complacency with undisguised disgust.

Discerning his wife's disaffection, Duke escapes to the local backcountry, declaring that he is on an animal trapping expedition. He is absent for several weeks. While away, a snake oil salesman, the attractive Wild Bill Smith, stops for gasoline and lunch. He makes a pass at Lura, who sharply rebuffs his advance. Undeterred, "The Texas Tornado" returns the following day and Lura allows him to read her horoscope. She impresses Wild Bill with her command over Rajah. Lura and Bill enjoy a brief affair, and Lura contemplates absconding with him.

When Duke returns from his hunting trip, he is cheered to learn that Lura is with child. The narrator confronts Lura for her evident infidelities with Wild Bill, resentful yet sympathetic to her shame that she is carrying a child not her husband's. During the pregnancy she becomes increasingly attentive and affectionate with Rajah.

When Lura is in the hospital giving birth to her baby boy, Duke discovers an expensive ring among her possessions - a love gift, unbeknownst to Duke, from Wild Bill. He becomes suspicious, and confronts Lura. She confesses that she had a lover when he was on his extended trapping trip, but accuses him of his own infidelities. Duke calculates that perhaps the boy is not his own. He begins to formulate his revenge against his wife and the bastard child.

Duke purposefully starves the tiger and releases it into the house where he anticipates the beast will kill and eat Lura and the infant. The hungry tiger, in unfamiliar surroundings, acts threateningly toward Lura; she instantly seeks to protect her child. She fends off the animal with a blazing firebrand, seizes the baby from its crib and traps the tiger in a bedroom. In the kitchen, she empties the electric icebox of its frozen meat, and thrusts the swaddled child into the compartment after turning off the current.

Duke enters the house wearing his pistol. At first the couple feign mutual ignorance about the feline intruder. Then the enraged Lura assaults Duke, and with her superior strength subdues and easily disarms him. She drags him outdoors, and contemptuously throws the loaded gun after him. Duke picks up the weapon and fires. Lura collapses. Assuming he has killed his wife, Duke places the gun in her hand to establish her death as a suicide. He reenters the house and telephones the police, pleading innocence. Meanwhile, the firebrand has begun to blaze in the bedroom, and the panicked tiger crashes through the wall, encountering Duke on the telephone. The enraged cat mortally wounds the unarmed man, and both are immolated by the inferno. When the police and ambulance arrive, the house has burned to the ground. The seriously wounded Lura is taken to the hospital, suspected of attempted suicide and arson. Upon regaining consciousness, she tells the police where they will find her son. The narrator reports "The baby was in the icebox. They found him there, still asleep and ready for his milk. The fire had blacked up the outside, but inside it was cool and nice as a new bathtub."

Lura is exonerated and fully recovers from her gunshot wound. She and the narrator continue operating the filling station. When Wild Bill unexpectedly shows up, the narrator recognizes that his services are no longer required and quietly departs.

The story opens with an unidentified narrator, a member of the rural village who relates the details of a gruesome incident in the local vernacular.

Barbie, a native of an unspecified small town, returns home at the age of 26 after working with traveling shows since a teenager. Now employed strictly as a day laborer, he haunts the pool halls and barber shops, presenting himself as world wise and distinctively superior to the local denizens. Barbie is a sharp dresser and well-groomed.

Barbie is drawn to Lida. During Barbie’s sojourning, she had worked in a dry goods store. A well-dressed, attractive young woman, Lida enjoyed male companionship. She is now pregnant and married to a well-to-do man, much older than her, who lives outside of town. Barbie and Lida engage in trysts, a fact that the townspeople are well aware, of which Barbie makes no attempt to conceal. They conspire to murder Lida’s husband, concerned that her spouse may have been alerted to their affair. They also feel pressure from the local Ku Klux Klan affiliate, who promote family values among whites.

Barbie enlists a local man, Hutch, who has a reputation for violence and cruelty, to assist him with the plot. Hutch is lured into the conspiracy to murder by the promise that the victim possesses a hidden treasure of hard cash. Lida is sent out of town to establish her innocence, and two men, drunk on corn liquor approach the old man’s home stealthily in a horse-drawn wagon. Begging sanctuary from the cold, Lida’s husband invites them indoors, and Hutch crushes his skull with a wrench, killing him.

The hidden treasure turns out to be $23 in cash. Barbie attempts to placate the outraged Hutch. Fleeing the home with the corpse in the wagon, the men dismember the body, Hutch insisting that Barbie sever the head of the victim and present it as a gift to Lida. The headless body is hastedly buried. Hutch descends into madness, jumps into a creek and drowns. Burbie flees to his home. Local residents discover the remains of the murdered man. The deceased Hutch is assumed to be the murderer.

Weeks pass, and the local constable is skeptical about the case. Burbie’s mental condition begins to deteriorate in public places due to his sense of guilt. He and Lida confess to their crime and are arrested. Barbie accepts Jesus as his personal savior while he awaits his imminent hanging.

Coming soon

In the continent of Rodenius, an unidentified flying object arrived at the Principality of Qua-Toyne's airspace. The object defied common sense and was just a harbinger of something even more shocking. The entire nation of Japan has found itself transported to another world and cut off from their old world. Now, Japan has to survive and interact with the natives of this hostile new world.

''Sniper Elite 5'' takes place following the events of ''Sniper Elite 4'' in the year 1944, a year before ''Sniper Elite V2''. SOE sniper Karl Fairburne is attached to an Army Ranger battalion in advance of Operation Overlord to assist with securing a beachhead and the village of Colline-Sur-Mer to help give the Americans a foothold and landing point in France. Upon arrival in the village and rendezvousing with resistance contact Charlie Barton, the Americans submarine is destroyed and Charlie informs Karl that most of the group's contacts have been killed by units led by Obergruppenführer Abelard Möller after discovering information on his involvement in coordinating "Operation Kraken". Fellow contact Marie Chevalier informs the pair that Möller is occupying a nearby chateau and leave to investigate. After breaking in and securing information on "Kraken" from both the chateau and a high ranking meeting taking place at the cathedral Beaumont-Saint-Denis, Möller becomes aware of Fairburne's involvement and his prior notoriety of disrupting high profile Nazi projects.

In defiance of Ranger orders, Fairburne infiltrates a factory constructing war machinery and submarine stealth plating and destroys it to disrupt further production. Charlie smuggles him onto an island in the English Channel near Guernsey, where intel from the factory found a prototype U-boat constructed and prepared for testing using the stealth plating previously smuggled onto the island with coordination from the Japanese. Fairburne manages to destroy the submarine adding embarrassment to Nazi high command, but results in Möller redoubling his efforts and proceeding with the project without the test data.

Following the Normandy beach landings, Fairburne regroups with the Rangers as part of an airborne landing into France but the unit's glider is shot down near the village of Desponts-Sur-Douve. Fairburne manages to drive out the occupying force allowing the Rangers to reclaim the village before leaving to investigate a facility where additional weapons testing is being done with V-2 rockets. With this and discovering a map of targets that include several major cities in the United States, Fairburne quickly pieces together that "Kraken" is meant to use the U-boats to slip past the Allies deep into the Atlantic Ocean and use the V-2's on civilian targets to deter the United States' war efforts.

When Möller contacts the base and unintentionally speaks directly to Fairburne, he panics knowing Fairburne is fully aware of the project and needs to launch immediately before the Allies can react. Fairburne deploys to the town of Saint Nazaire where the U-boat pen is kept under tightened Kriegsmarine security, where he quickly destroys the constructed U-boats as well as several constructed for the Imperial Japanese Navy. With "Kraken" destroyed and fearing for his life, Möller retreats to his chateau to coverup his involvement in the project before going into hiding, but is assassinated by Fairburne before he can escape. As Charlie and Marie celebrate the mission success, Fairburne ponders his next deployment.

The episode starts directly following the previous episode, with Tuca (Tiffany Haddish) and Bertie (Ali Wong) in a car and struggling to talk to each other. An unspecified amount of time passes before Bertie abruptly stops the car as a sheep had blocked her way. As the sheep, joined with its herd, cross the road, the two break down in the car and reconcile. While Bertie stated she wanted a silent car ride to give some time to think, the two immediately break into song. The two pass a sign that denotes the Jelly Lakes are in 20 miles. Tuca takes the sign and recalls that Bertie's family had a cabin there, while Bertie attempts to deflect the matter before being cut off by a motorcyclist.

Bertie, visibly frustrated by the motorcyclist, chases her down the road to the Jelly Lakes Mall. The motorcyclist enters the mall, and Bertie angrily follows her in. Bertie, seeing a swimsuit, is visibly discomforted, but Tuca immediately distracts her by highlighting the mall had a Girl Thingz store. It immediately cuts to a Girl Thingz commercial parodying advertisements aimed at teenage girls. The two eagerly try on the store's offerings before overhearing two teenage friends who are similarly reconciling. Recalling their own experiences, the two embrace, garnering the ire of the two teenagers. The two run out of the store, with Bertie stating the two are shoplifting from Girl Thingz. The two proceed to enjoy the mall's offerings before sitting down at the food court to catch up. Bertie recalls her uncomfortable experiences with Pastry Pete and her guilt for allowing it to happen to someone else. Noticing the motorcyclist who had previously cut them off leaving the mall, the two pursue her.

The two cut off the motorcyclist and Bertie angrily confronts her before the motorcyclist takes off her helmet. It is revealed that the motorcyclist was Meredith Maple (Jane Lynch), a turaco who was Bertie's former swim coach at Jelly Lakes summer camp. Bertie eventually caves in and goes to the cabins at her invitation. The two settle down and eventually, Tuca falls asleep, Bertie walks out onto the deck and gazes toward the island at the center of the lake while ignoring her boyfriend's texts.

The two are awoken by Coach Maple, who offers them firewood. Tuca and Coach Maple tour her cabin and meet Coach Maple's wife, Pat (Isabella Rossellini). The two engage in jet skiing and Bertie tours Tuca around the Jelly Lakes. The two come across Peanut Butter Island, but Bertie avoids the topic and deflects from the issue. Tuca enters a jet ski race but Bertie falls off the back, causing her and her phone to sink into the jelly. Tuca pulls Bertie out of the water, and Bertie states her frustration and her wishes to go back to the cabin. Tuca extends a dinner invitation from Coach Maple and Bertie begrudgingly accepts.

While getting ready for dinner, Tuca is greeted with Pat's artwork. Pat decorates hollowed eggs with paper cutouts. Bertie meanwhile, is talking with Coach Maple who actively recounts her past with Bertie much to her discomfort. Coach Maple confronts Bertie about why she quit swimming, but Bertie continues to deflect the issue. After continued assertions by Coach Maple, Bertie yells at her and storms out.

Tuca catches up with Bertie while looking at the setting sun. Bertie remarks on her wish in how she wants to protect the teenagers who are playing in the water from the world and men. Bertie opens up about her experiences, with the style changing into the paper cutout style that Pat's art took the form of. Bertie had wanted to swim to Peanut Butter Island and had trained all summer to do so. On the day of the swim, she had gotten to the dock early before Coach Maple had arrived, and bought a new red swimsuit. She was accompanied by the lifeguard who had praised her for her talent at age 12, and told her he wanted to show her something in the woods. Trusting the adult, she followed him in. Bertie breaks down in tears recounting her story and Tuca comforts her. Tuca declares that Bertie should reclaim the island and make it "Peanut Bertie Island".

Tuca, waking up, finds Bertie swimming towards Peanut Butter Island. Tuca frantically informs Pat and Coach Maple, who follow her in a boat to ensure her safety. The group follows Bertie as she makes her swim but are interrupted by a giant crab who attacks Coach Maple. Bertie, out of exhaustion, sinks to the bottom of the lake, sees her 12 year old self crying alone in the woods after what had happened. She embraces her 12 year old self and the two swim to the surface together. Bertie completes the remaining stretch of her swim with her friends cheering her on. Bertie completes the swim and the group partakes in a cookout with the torn crab leg from the giant crab Coach Maple had fought. Bertie tells Tuca she's ready to go back home, and Pat remarks that she made a piece of artwork detailing their experiences.

Leonard Borland, an able and handsome 33-year-old, is a building contractor whose formally lucrative business partnership has collapsed due to the Great Depression. His pretty and pampered wife, Doris, ranks in the Social Register. She spends freely, even as Leonard's business and her own family's fortune declines. Leonard, of working class origins, despises her culturally refined and self-complacent friends, who reciprocate in kind. Married for seven years, the 26-year-old Doris cultivates a myth that she sacrificed a promising career as an opera singer when she married Leonard. Her intellectual dishonesty and sexual manipulations short-circuit the intimacy and comradeship her husband longs for. Under the auspices of a former voice master, the talented Hugo Lorentz, Doris informs Leonard that due to his failure to properly provide for her, she is forced to seek a career as a professional singer.

Doris begins recitals after three months of training with Lorentz. She actively promotes paid attendance from friends and family members, and insists that Leonard do the same. She enlists him in a humiliating visit to the home of a well-known music critic Rudolph Hertz to elicit a favorable review, and is sharply rebuffed. Though no musical connoisseur, Leonard secretly perceives that his wife's singing is "lousy" and strongly suspects that her mentor, Lorentz, is fully aware of this.

After the recital, Leonard receives a phone call from a personal friend of the critic, a 28-year-old soprano named Cecil Carver, who had observed his visit. She invites Leonard to her home, promising him an assessment of his wife's performance. When together, she tactfully makes some observations about Doris, praising the quality of her voice, but criticizing her style.Carver is suddenly notified that the lyrics to a song she must perform that night not will not be delivered in time. Serendipitously, Leonard knows the words to the old Navy song in question, and with Carner at the piano, he sings it. Carver is dumbstruck. She explains to the perplexed Leonard that he possesses a rare and powerful baritone. She seduces him, though Leonard is still "crazy" about his wife. Cecil reveals that Lorentz confessed to her that he was infatuated with a married woman: Doris Borland. Leonard concludes that Lorentz is manipulating his wife, but Cecil corrects him: Doris is using Lorentz, as she is manipulating a number of men, but short of providing sexual favors in return, satisfied to see them suffer in thrall to her physical beauty.

Cecil offers Leonard the means of disciplining his wife. She will provide the training to develop his unique baritone, and use her connections in the opera establishment to arrange a debut at Carnegie Hall with the Philharmonic Orchestra. In that venue she will showcase Leonard's talent to the critics and thus garner Doris' respect. They make a pact, with Cecil compensated exclusively by sex.

Leonard embarks on his education, auditing classes at Juilliard School, studying sight-reading, harmony, piano, and discovering the classical music of 19th Century Europe. Leonard is a quick study and soon discovers the tremendous capacity of his voice. As his own insights into the performance of music, he realizes how inept and shallow Doris is technically and interpretively. Leonard becomes convinced that his singing is superior to that of Doris.

Leonared receives a telegram from Cecil, imploring him to come immediately to Rochester, New York to replace an incapacitated singer. He joins Cecil, and discovers his debut will be that night. Dismayed, she sternly warns him that he must conquer the audience or face defeat. Cecil gives Leonard a rigorous pre-performance briefing in her hotel room. Her directives are limited to his actions on the stage, not his singing: entrance and exit protocols, poise and presentation, and his rapport with his piano accompanist, Ray Wilkins.

Cecil and Leonard arrive at the hall. As it fills to capacity, Leonard's anxiety mounts. When he steps before the audience for the first of his two scheduled solo sets, stage fright grips him. In a panic, he finds himself unable to modulate voice and tempo, "bellowing" his 17th Century musical selections. He exits the stage in disgrace. Cecil is disgusted and distraught. As per the program notes Leonard is obligated to make a second appearance that night. Disengaged from the audience due to his initial failure, Leonard finds his voice and his phrasing. His superb baritone emerges and shouts of "bravo" ring from the audience. He finishes his set in triumph and is welcomed back for an encore. Cecil generously joins him on stage for a duet. Leonard continues on tour with Cecil, ostensibly on a business trip. His numerous telegrams to Doris, concealing his activities, go unanswered.

Cecil is under contract to a grand opera impresario. She arranges a generous four-week contract for Leonard to sing with the company in Chicago. He is allotted the principal baritone roles in La bohème, Rigoletto and La Traviata. Leonard's overall performances are serviceable, but his part in the final ''O Mimi'' duet is superb and the audience goes wild. Post-performance, his dressing room is swamped with admirers. Two weeks later, he is offered a contract, but declines. Despite the promise of fame and fortune, he prefers to return to his contracting career.

When Leonard returns to his home in New York City, he discovers that Doris had just "got the bird": The audience at a matinee recital react against her inflated publicity and boo her off the stage before she can sing. Hysterical, Doris collapses and Leonard takes her home in an ambulance. The couple have a rapprochement, in which Doris confesses her lack of musical talent and apologizes for her feigned infidelities. She pledges her love to Leonard. Cecil and Leonard make a clean break without recriminations. Cecil warns him that his wife has not yet been reformed, and adds that their affair is over: "don't come back."

Despite her public humiliation that morning, Doris insists that she and Leonard honor a cocktail party invitation that evening. Among friends, she admits her failure as a professional singer. Unexpectedly, Cecil Carver arrives, invited by the host to perform a short recital. Doris, a great admirer of Cecil's talent, is abashed. Reassured by Leonard that Doris knows nothing of their former relationship, Cecil consoles Doris. Doris reacts to her good-natured sympathy with cynical scorn and declares she will persist in her professional singing. Leonard realizes that his wife has reverted to type. When Cecil selects Lorentz, who Doris still considers one of her conquests, to be her piano accompanist, Doris' hostility turns to rage. She accuses Cecil of "trying to steal my men." Her accusation is directed only towards Lorentz, but Cecil misapprehends the remark and assumes Leonard has told Doris about her affair with Leonard. Cecil's undisguised shock and Leonard's helpless denial reveals their infidelity to Doris.

When Cecil desperately explains that she and Leonard had merely been singing "in the same opera company" Doris, incredulous, bursts into peals of derisive laughter. Guests gather around and the host insultingly suggests that Leonard demonstrate his purported operatic skills. Provoked, Leonard enlists pianist Wilkins to accompany him in the prologue from Leoncavallo's Pagliacci. Cecil cautions him not to proceed, but he sings. His delivery of the famed baritone part is impeccable. Doris staggers from the penthouse speechless. When Leonard arrives home, Doris lunges at him, tearing his face with her fingernails. Bleeding, he flees from the house and spends the night in a cheap hotel. His reckless musical exhibition haunts him, as does his alienation from Doris.

Disgusted with singing, he turns down a lucrative offer to perform at the famed New York Hippodrome. When Doris vindictively draws all the money out of their joint bank account, he reconsiders and accepts the position. With coaching, he adds to his repertoire Cavalleria rusticana and Rigoletto.

Supremely confident of his singing abilities, Leonard gives a bravura performance in the first acts of ''Rigoletto''. In the final act, the crowd goes wild and stops the show. When the singers resume, an error in sequence occurs, and Leonard loses his way in the score. Panicking, he proceeds to "bellow" even after the conductor stops the orchestra. The audience jeers with contempt: he gets "the bird" and flees from the stage. Cecil finds him cowering in the stairwell, and implores him not to go "yellow." Leonard refuses, and his co-singers shun him. In the dressing room Leonard confesses to himself that "I was just another Doris. I had everything but what it takes."

Doris, who had left the theater early, is alerted to the catastrophe. She hurries to Leonard's dressing room to provide moral support. She takes him home. they are reconciled, and their forays into theater careers mutually recognized as misadventures. In the apartment lobby, Leonard's business partner intercepts them and announces that a major federal government building contract awaits them in Alabama. Leonard and Doris board a southbound train to pursue a happy and thoroughly conventional married life.

Main story

The truck Nacho Varga is driving after his escape breaks down. He conceals himself in an abandoned oil tanker until the Cousins move on with their search. The next morning, he cleans himself at a mechanic's shop and makes a farewell call to his father, Manuel. He then calls Mike Ehrmantraut, asks to speak to Gus Fring, and offers to surrender as long as his father is protected. Gus's men smuggle Nacho into the U.S. and Mike administers a beating so it appears Nacho was captured. Mike and Nacho review the plan for Nacho to absolve Gus of blame for Lalo's death by falsely blaming another drug family. After confessing, Nacho will attempt to flee so Victor can kill him, guaranteeing his death will be swift and the Salamancas will not torture him.

Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler conspire to obtain duplicates of Howard Hamlin's car and vanity license plate as part of their plan to force a resolution of the Sandpiper case by ruining his reputation but realize that actually obtaining access to his car is more feasible. Prosecutor Suzanne Ericsen connects Jimmy to Lalo Salamanca and Nacho, tells Kim that Lalo is dead, and asks Kim to persuade Jimmy to inform on the Salamancas. Later, Jimmy and Kim work with Huell Babineaux and another associate to obtain duplicates of Howard's car key and remote unlock button. Huell tells Jimmy he does not understand why two legitimate lawyers would commit crimes. Jimmy makes an unconvincing argument about committing a wrong to accomplish a greater good.

While Mike watches from a distance and trains his rifle on the location, Gus, Tyrus, and Victor meet with Juan Bolsa, Hector Salamanca, and the Cousins to hand Nacho over. As planned, Nacho claims he killed Lalo while working with the Alvarezes. He then bolsters his confession by revealing that he also tried to kill Hector by switching his angina medication for a placebo, but that Gus saved him. Nacho uses the piece of broken glass, which he retrieved from Gus's trash, to cut his restraints, seize Bolsa's gun, and kill himself. As Gus and his men depart, the Cousins assist Hector to fire bullets into Nacho's lifeless body.

Mrs. and Mr. Ryman return home after riding their bicycles through an Albuquerque suburb. The house is revealed to be the operations center of people who are surveilling Gus Fring's house. Gus returns to his home and uses a tunnel system to enter the Ryman home, from which he oversees a widespread search of Albuquerque for Lalo Salamanca. Mike Ehrmantraut says no leads have been found, but Gus insists that Lalo is alive.

While Howard Hamlin visits his psychologist, Jimmy McGill disguises himself as Howard, uses his duplicate key to take Howard's car, and picks up Wendy at a motel. They drive past Kim Wexler and Clifford Main and Jimmy pretends to force Wendy out of the car, making it appear to Cliff that Howard is using prostitutes. Jimmy returns the car just as Howard leaves his appointment, but makes a narrow escape. Kim drives Wendy back to the motel and Wendy alerts her to a nearby car, which Wendy believes to be undercover police. Kim notices the same car continuing to follow her. While meeting ''pro bono'' clients at the El Camino Dining Room, Kim spots the car again and confronts the occupants. Mike reveals that the men following her work for him, that Lalo may still be alive, and that Mike is having men monitor anyone Lalo may contact. Kim realizes Mike is the man who saved Jimmy's life in the desert and asks why he told her, not Jimmy, that Lalo may still be alive. Mike replies that she is "made of sterner stuff." As he leaves, she recognizes him as the former courthouse parking lot attendant.

Jimmy notices that he has become a pariah among courthouse staff, which Bill Oakley explains is because Jimmy defended Lalo. Jimmy later discovers that his defense of Lalo has made him popular among local criminals seeking representation from "Saul Goodman". Mrs. Nguyen evicts Jimmy from the nail salon because of the high client volume, so Jimmy begins scouting for a new office. That night Kim meets Jimmy at a potential location for his new office and is still shaken by the possibility that Lalo is alive. Despite poor maintenance and other problems, Kim approves, citing its proximity to the county courthouse and jail, and Albuquerque's bail bonds offices. She and Jimmy leave for dinner, and Kim opts not to mention her meeting with Mike.

The human race, now based at Terra Prime, are at war with an alien race called the Drekks, who have already devastated cities on Earth, such as New York City, Istanbul, and Quebec City . Adler (Phoebe Sparrow) is Grey 6 gunner, flying in hyperspace with pilot Yaren (Daisy Aitkens), as part of Dune Squadron, Reserve Gemini Unit, a squadron of seven Terra Prime space fighters. They receive a video briefing from Colonel Danforth (Alastair Kirton) of the starship Valiant, directing them to rendezvous with them at the planet Erebus, where he assumes that Terra Prime forces will have repelled Drekk ships. But upon leaving hyperspace, Dune Squadron see the Valiant under heavy attack by Drekk ships. Colonel Danforth directs the squadron to attack six Drekk ships, warning them that the Drekk shields have been configured to resist plasma blasts. Grey leader, Callaghan (Charlotte Mounter), leads an attack on the six Drekk ships, where their plasma blasts have little or no effect on the Drekk shields . With difficulty, the squadron manages to destroy one Drekk ship, but this leads to most of the squadron being destroyed by the Drekks, except for Adler’s ship, which is damaged by an exploding ship, and crash lands on the planet Erebus.
On Erebus, with a corrosive, unbreathable atmosphere, Adler, wearing her flight suit and helmet, moves the injured Yaren to an emergency inflatable life raft with an atmosphere inside. Back at the ship, Adler needs the start-up code to activate communications, but Yaren gives her a code which does not work: 16305. Adler manages to use 1234 as the start-up code. But they are out of communications range from Terra Prime ships. At night, Adler hears another ship crash-land on Erebus, and on her ship's radio, discovers that it is a Drekk ship. Yaren dies in the morning. On the second night, a creature attacks the life raft, deflating it, so Adler escapes into the ship where she manages to shoot the creature dead with plasma blasts. Adler picks up communications from the Valiant which orders the Terra Prime ships to retreat, leaving Adler alone on Erebus. The next morning, Adler walks to where the Drekk ship crash landed, as her ship needs a replacement plasma injector coil. This leads to a confrontation with a Drekk warrior, who is able to resist being shot at by her plasma pistol, and ends with Adler killing the Drekk with a knife. Adler finds the Drekk ship, and attacks the two Drekks guarding it, with her plasma pistol and a fuel grenade. Adler manages to grab a Drekk rifle, which she uses to shoot dead one Drekk, and almost destroy the Drekk ship. From the ship, she extracts the plasma injector coil that she needs for her ship. Meanwhile, the last Drekk warrior, obtains a rifle and shoots at a departing Adler, damaging the rifle she had.

In an exciting combination of evangelical melodrama and the nascent sensation novel, ''Danesbury House'' tells the story of two generations of the Danesburys, a family of factory owners in the fictional town of Eastborough. Mr Danesbury has four sons and one daughter by two wives. His first wife is a confirmed teetotaller with a reputation for kindness and wisdom. She raises her eldest children, Arthur and Isabel as water drinkers but dies shortly after the birth of her third child, William, in a drink-related accident. Bereft and afraid for the fate of his family, Mr Danesbury rapidly (and unwisely) marries the second Mrs Danebury, Eliza St. George who is a very different character. Jealous and weak, Eliza raises William and her two subsequent children, Robert and Lionel. She is a tippler and deliberately encourages her childrn to drink beer and wine at table. The novel is partly a warning about the importance of good upbringing and her sons grow up to be degenerate and wasteful and eventually die dramatically. William, the 'between' child, born of the first Mrs Danesbury but raised by the second, demonstrates the inheritance and upbringing. He almost succumbs to drink like his younger brothers but is saved at the eleventh hour by the early influence of his mother and the help of his elder (temperate) siblings and his dutiful wife. Lilian Shiman describes Danesbury House as ‘a very respectable and readable work, aimed at the lower and upper working classes in the provinces’ . The older children become temperance campaigners in their own way. Isobel reforms her drunkard husband, Lord Temple, through her good influence after he almost loses his life in a dual. Arthur creates a temperance bar in their home town for the factory worker to enjoy free coffee and hot buttered toast instead of frequenting the local pubs and gin palaces. These aspirational figures matched the middle-class membership of the League and the novel was often mentioned in newspapers as a strong influence on recruitment, the maintenance of members' abstinence, and inspiration for their activities.

The novel follows Anna's life beginning with her arrival in Glarus until her death. The novel also includes flashbacks of Annas life from her memories of being a small child until the reason she moved to Glarus. In 1782 Anna was accused of harming a child and brought to trial in Glarus. Following a lengthy trial, she was sentenced to death by decapitation.

Anna Goeldin was born in Sennwald, Switzerland in 1734. She was born into a “free family” where her father was a farmer, and her mother ran the household (p. 2).She was the fourth of eight children. After her father died, she dropped out of grade school to help her mother tend to the land and the animals (p. 38). Between the ages of 13 and 40 she worked as a house servant for several different families. One of note would be the Zwicki family. The other of note would the Tschudi family.

The novel devotes considerable room to Anna's two love affairs that played a role in the trial because of rumors about Anna as a child murderess and an affair with her previous employer's son. When she was very young, she became pregnant by Jakob Roduner, a local apprentice to the master cabinet maker (p. 150). Jakob left Anna to serve in the military (p. 138). After Anna gave birth by herself, the child was found dead, and Anna was accused of child murder and sentenced to confinement in her mother's place for 6 years (p. 150). After three years, she escaped to her sister's house where she then assisted as a midwife. As a midwife she was introduced to the Zwicki house where she then became their housemaid. The second man Anna had premarital relations with was her employer's son, Melchior Zwicki. Melchior supported enlightenment philosophy and hoped that Anna and he could get married once society became more accepting of people from different societal classes marrying (p. 226). However, Melchior's mother was strictly against marriage (p. 230). Anna Goeldin again had a child out of wedlock. Anna placed this child into foster care, then immediately left the household to find work someplace else (p. 237).

Anna found work with the Tschudi family. Anna worked here as the housemaid taking care of the home and younger children. Most notably the daughter Anna Maria became very attached to Anna Goeldin (p. 15). After 17 months working for the family, the girl and consequently the father Doctor Johann Jakob Tschudi accused Anna of placing pins in his child's milk. The pins were enough to get Anna released from her position. For weeks after Anna left, the child continued to spit up pins and other pieces of metal, and Mrs. Tschudi and others assumed witchcraft, leading to his formal accusation with the court of Glarus (p. 121). The court ordered a search warrant.

Upon Anna's departure she regularly moved through several villages to avoid being caught by the “runner,” the man sent to get Anna and bring her to court in Glarus. Eventually Anna was caught while working in a tavern and imprisoned. During the time Anna was being held she was asked to help heal the sick child which she did. She confessed under torture to using witchcraft to make Anna Maria sick.

The trial lasted at least 17 weeks and was held in the Protestant Court. At the very end of the trial 32 voted for Anna to be put to death, while 30 voted against (p. 248). With the results of the trial, Anna was sentenced to death. The novel imagines that after her death all courts records were rewritten to omit any use of the word witch because the Glarus authorities feared being ridiculed as backwards.

He appears to get away with it, but one person who suspects the truth is Madeleine, who marries another man, and some people in the local community wrongly suspect that Julia committed suicide because of problems in their marriage.

In the prologue, an angel explains how Israel has incurred the wrath of God and is like "a horse which must suffer the bit and spur it will remember its duty." He announces Israel's victory over Ammon; the Israelites are led by the God-fearing Jephthah, who vows while returning home from the war to "make a burnt offering to Jehovah of whomever comes out first to meet him from his house."

Realising his error after he is first greeted by his daughter, Jephthah has to choose between saving her life and honouring his vow to God. Although Jephthah himself believes that he is obligated to sacrifice his daughter, a priest calls such an action "dreadful" and advises him to change his mind. Jephthah's wife affirms the priest's argument, while adding that sacrificing their daughter would amount to paganism.

Jephthah's daughter is initially anxious to avoid death but she later accepts her fate. At first, she sees it as a matter of filial piety, but she subsequently conceives of her death as Christ-like. Before being sacrificed, she rejects Jephthah's offer to die on her behalf and declares that she will only submit to God's authority. Her throat is slit by the priest and a messenger extols her heroism.

Later that night while in Bart's room, Loki is happy to finally be part of a functional family.

In a mid-credits scene, Loki disguised as Moe Szyslak gives patrons at Moe's Tavern free drinks. In two post-credits scenes, Ralph Wiggum as the Hulk smashes Loki similarly to a scene from ''The Avengers'' (2012), and Loki stands before Ravonna Renslayer at the Time Variance Authority, where she finds him guilty of his various crimes, such as crossing over to the ''Simpsons'' universe.

Several Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and The Simpsons characters are lined up to enter Moe's Tavern, where Maleficent is checking the guest list to enter, and Homer is complaining he's not on the list, however, when Goofy appears, he forces him to be his +1.

At the Tavern, Darth Vader is drinking a beer, Doctor Strange is playing pool along with Carl and Lenny, Homer and Goofy are drinking beers, Elsa is creating some ice in a bucket that a Fantasia's broom is filling with beer, while Buzz Lightyear and The Mandalorian are having an arm wrestling contest, that Buzz loses, and Moe thinks that Donald Duck is choking, so Barney tries to do a Heimlich Maneuver on him.

At the table, Homer and Goofy are discussing, while Happy is complaining how the party stinks before complaining to Grumpy, and they get divided by Lisa who comes to the Tavern to collect Homer, who gets his beer struck by BB-8. Lisa then cheers the place up with a song about Disney+.

Lois picks Stewie up from daycare and Chris and Meg from school; on the car ride home, Lois notices a billboard for a local contest involving the Quahog Players. She wins the contest, and is named director of the Quahog Players' theatre group production of ''The King and I''. Meanwhile, Peter's boss, Mr. Weed, prepares for a meeting from famous toy executives to pitch new ideas. Workers begin bringing in their own invented toys to show them and give them ideas. Peter's toy, however, is ridiculed and criticized for resembling a sex toy. Peter is humiliated and decides to try out for Lois' play. During the auditions, Brian and Loretta are the only two happy about their roles in the play. When Peter realizes that he didn't get a part, Lois names him producer in an attempt to keep him out of the project. However, this plan fails to work as Peter gradually takes over, radically changing the play, and making Anna Leonowens's best friend a talking penguin.

When Peter gets the play mentioned on the news by news anchor Diane Simmons as Anna, Lois likes the fact that he got the play on the news, but is mad because Loretta, who was playing Anna, was doing a great job, but Peter recast her as Lady Teong. He also adds material inspired by ''The Jerry Springer Show'' and ''Flashdance'' and changes Anna's outfit into what he describes as "more this century". Peter makes another change: he decides to make play reveal that the Siamese twins aren't twins, but aliens. Everyone accedes to the idea except for Lois, who claims she hates the changes Peter has made to the play. She tells Peter that nobody will show up to the play, but is proven wrong when they sell out. When Lois quits, Peter is made the director, thus making him the most powerful figure on set. His constant changes to the plot of the play frustrate Diane into quitting, so he plays Anna himself.

Lois comes to the play, but only in the hope of seeing Peter's work ridiculed by everyone in town. Peter’s version of ''The King and I'' depicts a post-apocalyptic future set in the ruined world of 2015 AD after the 9th nuclear war. The world is a "grim future filled with lots of explosions and partial nudity", ruled by an oppressive king played by Brian. A.N.N.A., the main character, is an '''A'''utomoton '''N'''uclear '''N'''eo-humanoid '''A'''ndroid, a robot ninja from the planet England. A.N.N.A., not succumbing to the enticing, bikini-clad "Siamese children's” all-female sex orgy, kung-fu fights with the King, thus destroying him, and reclaiming Siam for the United States. He then ends the play with a musical number, based on A.N.N.A's victory. To Lois’ frustration, the show is a hit. Lois berates the audience for applauding, claiming that the show is ruined dramatic art. Peter comes home from the wrap party and apologizes to Lois for stealing away her show, and in turn, she apologizes to him for scolding his work.

Peter becomes very upset when NBC cancels his favorite show, ''Gumbel 2 Gumbel Beach Justice'', a sitcom starring sportscasters Bryant Gumbel and Greg Gumbel. Lois suggests he use the series' cancellation to help Chris improve his study habits. To get the show back on the air, Peter decides to tell the Grant-A-Dream Foundation (a parody of the Make-A-Wish Foundation) that being able to watch the show is Chris's dying wish. He makes up a disease called "tumasyphilisitisosis," the symptoms of which include growing extra nipples, faked with pepperoni slices, across Chris's torso. An agreement is made between Grant-a-Dream and NBC in which ''Gumbel'' will be put back on the air if NBC can get the film rights to Chris's death. When ''Gumbel 2 Gumbel'' is put back on the air, Peter panics upon learning that people think Chris is dead as mourners hold a funeral on their front lawns for Chris' death.

When Peter finds out that NBC aired a film adaptation based on Chris' fictional condition, he sues NBC for defamation. When the network comes to claim their part of the deal in court, Lois finds out about the scam behind it and tells Peter to tell the truth, but he could possibly face jail time for fraud. Acting out of desperation, he claims to have cured Chris and gets commuted of his fraud charges. As a result, Peter gets a reputation for being a healer, and people start worshiping him as a god. Infuriated, the real God sends six plagues upon his house. When Chris is crushed by a giant golden statue of Peter during the final plague involving the death of the first-born son, Peter admits that he is not God, thus ending the plagues and saving Chris' life. He then foolishly attempts to say he is god again but stops the moment the plagues return.

A successful American opera singer, John Howard Sharp, is down-and-out in Tupinamba, Mexico. Formerly a fine baritone well-known in Europe, he inexplicably loses his formerly powerful voice. At a café he encounters the attractive Indio prostitute, Juana Montes. Sharp is attracted to her and wins her from a local bullfighter, Triesca. She takes Sharp to a brothel. When he sings excerpts from Bizet's Carmen, Juana's interest in him cools: she detects something unmanly in his performance. Sharp and Juana part ways, and he continues his penurious existence.

Months later Juana wins 500 pesos and a new Ford roadster in a lottery. She plans to open a cafe-bordello in Acapulco catering to American tourists under the auspices of a local politico-military kingpin. She enlists Sharp to be bartender, bouncer and bookkeeper for the establishment, in part because she suspects that he is sexually ambivalent and will not molest the female employees.

En route to Acapulco in the roadster, they make a detour over remote country roads to pick up food supplies from Juana's parents. As night falls, a storm breaks over the couple and the vehicle becomes trapped by flood waters. They discover a remote, unoccupied Catholic church, and Sharp crashes the vehicle through its locked double doors to find shelter from the rain. He parks the car in front of the altar. Soaking wet, Sharp exchanges his clothing for a priest's cassock and pilfers candles from the Sacristy for utility lighting. Juana is appalled and paralyzed at the sacrilege. Sharp makes a charcoal fire on the floor tiles of the vestry and prepares a meal from their provisions. Juana joins him and they become intoxicated on sacramental wine. Superstitious, she becomes hysterical at hearing peals of thunder. Sharp attempts to calm her by playing the organ and singing the Nona Nobis as the storm rages. Juana disparages his performance as that of a celibate monk. Juana disrobes and makes an "Aztec" offering before the altar. Sharp rapes her on the alter.

Unable to depart due to the flooding, they spend a second day at the church. Juana catches an iguana and ritualistically, they prepare it for a meal. The iguana meat acts as an aphrodisiac and they make love. Sharp sings and Juana assures him that he has been restored to his former vocal prowess. Sharp falls in love with Juana.

They arrive in Acapulco and register at a seedy hotel. Sharp is determined to return to the United States to resume his operatic career. He arranges passage for himself and Juana on the steamer ''Port of Cobh'', operated by the irascible Irishman Captain Conners. At the hotel, the Mexican kingpin, surrounded by his federal goons, demands sexual favors from Juana. Sharp intercedes and knocks the ''politico'' unconscious. The couple flee for their lives in the roadster. Conners intercepts the fugitives and clandestinely escorts them to the ''Port of Cobh'' and they embark for San Pedro, California. An aficionado of 19th Century symphonic forms, the captain welcomes Sharp's demonstration of his operatic skills. During the voyage, they hotly dispute the relative merits of the great classical composers. Upon arrival in San Pedro, Conners cunningly secrets the undocumented Juana past immigration officials. He pledges to assist the couple in the event of a crisis.

Sharp begins to explore the market for opera singers in Hollywood. Known primarily in European operatic circles, agents show little interest in him. He resorts to singing and playing guitar in nightclubs at $7.50 a night and at various venues for tips. Desperately low on money, Sharp and Juana attend an evening performance of Carmen at the Hollywood Bowl. During the first act, a singer is suddenly pulled from the stage. Though undetected by the audience, Sharp instantly recognizes that the baritone has become incapacitated. Familiar with the part, Sharp offers to fill in. The conductor, though skeptical, allows him to sing. Sharp's performance is a grand success.

A film studio executive immediately signs him to a lucrative contract to sing in motion pictures. His debut film, a B-Western, is a critical and box office success. The studio is outraged when Sharp insists on $50,000 for his next feature, but they accept the terms on a three-picture contract.

His movie career ascendant, Sharp introduces Juana to Hollywood society at co-star Elsa Chadwick's celebrity party. Juana, dressed in florid Indio garments, is deemed gauche by the hostess and shunned by the female guests. Furious, Sharp declines to sing and prepares to leave with Juana. Chadwick warns him to never again to bring his "cheap Mexican tart." Sharp slaps the actress in the face and leaves. Juana is perplexed, but unfazed by her rejection.

Deeply disillusioned with Hollywood. Sharp is cheered when his New York agent sends a telegram: the Metropolitan Opera wishes to put him under contract. After a protracted struggle with his agent and the studio executive Rex Gold, both of whom disparage opera, Sharp is emphatically denied a temporary release to perform with the Metropolitan. Defying them, he bolts from Hollywood and travels to New York to sing. Sharp performs in all the standard repertoire that season, to great acclaim.

The movie studio initiates litigation against Sharp for breach of contract. The Metropolitan's own attorney declines to defend Sharp for fear of exposing the company to lawsuits. Sharp is urged to comply with his Hollywood obligations, or cease singing with the company. The crisis is at an impasse when Sharp receives a phone call, a call which Juana, preternaturally, urges him not to answer; the caller is Winston Hawes.

Hawes is both a conductor of tremendous talent and a superb music teacher who had mentored the young Sharp in Paris. He is also an entrepreneur who regards music as a commodity to be exploited: "he made a whore out of it." Sharp had fallen under Hawes' spell as the price of developing his operatic skills long dash a spell that tempted Sharp to satisfy Hawes' desire for a sexual relationship. When Sharp realized that his dependency on Hawes had become a humiliating addiction, the quality of his voice deteriorated and he ceased to be a topnotch baritone. He escaped to Mexico, where opera companies were deemed less discriminating artistically. There he encountered Juana Montez and recovered his singing prowess under her influence.

Hawes is conducting opera in New York and informs Sharp that he has already booked him for a performance. When Sharp demurs due to his Hollywood obligations, Hawes insists he come immediately to his hotel suite to resolve the matter. Sharp is loath to comply with the domineering "Papa" Hawes, but Juana encourages him to go. Hawes is a scion of a powerful banking family with large financial investments in Hollywood. Sharp suddenly suspects, and Hawes confesses, that he has been monitoring Sharp's activities in Mexico and personally engineered Sharp's movie career. Studio executive Rex Gold is Hawes' tool, used in an elaborate "sham" to maneuver Sharp into performing opera in New York - under Hawe's auspices. Sharp participates in a number of radio nationwide broadcasts that are heard by Captain Conners. He sends Sharp a radiogram to congratulate him and he sails to New York.

During an elaborately organized production of Damrosch's Mandalay conducted by Hawes, Sharp performs beautifully until a moment in an encore, in which he momentarily reverts to his "priest"-like voice. Juana, who is in the audience, detects the lapse. After the show she confronts Sharp on the nature of his relationship with Hawes, accusing them of being lovers. Shamed, Sharp confesses to Juana his former homosexual desires, and begs Juana to not abandon him. They make passionate love for two days, exorcising Hawes. Hawes continues to pursue Sharp, taking a suite down the hall from the couple's hotel room. When introduced, Juana and Hawes preserve good manners, concealing their venomous hostility for one another. Hawes' persistent and unannounced visits to their apartment unnerves Sharp. Nevertheless, the couple accepts an invitation to his housewarming party. Juana arrives sporting an authentic bullfighter's cape. Most of the guests are cross-dressed for the jazz-themed gathering. Juana and Hawes engage in an elaborate and comic pantomime of a bullfight, Juana playing the toreador and Hawes playing the bull.

During the entertainment, Sharp is alerted by a bellboy that an immigration agent is on the premises to arrest Juana Montez. The bellboy offers to secretly get her out of the hotel. Sharp realizes that Hawes had tipped off the agent, and urges Juana to escape. She leaves the suite only to return with a genuine ''espada''. Juana, Hawes and some drunken guests enact a mock bullfight and Juana impales Hawes with her sword, killing him and spitting on his bleeding body. Though horrified, Sharp secretly rejoices. The guests flee in panic and Juana disappears.

The police interrogate Sharp and consider framing him with violating the Mann Act. He pleads ignorance and is held briefly as a material witness, submits a bond and is released on bail. The police place Sharp under heavy surveillance hoping he will lead them to Juana. Captain Conners phones Sharp and they communicate on an untapped phone: Juana has located Conners and is safely in port aboard the ''Port of Cobh.'' Sharp cleverly evades the numerous agents who are tailing him. Reunited with Juana, she tells Sharp she must flee alone, but he insists on joining he. Conners cautions him that in his company she is "doomed." Sharp and Juana begin a life as fugitives from the law and they settle in Guatemala to live in exile. His image, widely seen on movie lobby cards, compels Sharp to make cosmetic changes to conceal his appearance. He studies Spanish so as not to speak English with Juana in public. Juana recognizes that she and Sharp are deteriorating together in isolation. Juana urges him emphatically to leave her. They draw apart and cease sleeping together.

Sharp struggles with his sexual identity and visits a brothel to reaffirm his heterosexuality. He is tormented by nightmares. Juana begins to work as a prostitute at the same brothel that Sharp frequents and taunts him with the fact. Sharp assaults her and she flees from their home. Hopelessly dependent upon Juana, Sharp pursues her in desperation. He finally discovers she has taken an airplane to Mexico City. Sharp follows, and spots her at a cafe in the company of Triesca, the bullfighter. Triesca mocks Sharp by imitating an opera singer in falsetto. Sharp retaliates with a powerful and moving rendition of Cielito Lindo directed toward Juana. The cafe patrons react with wild applause. Unwittingly, Sharp's impressive performance instantly reveals his identity to the authorities. The Acapulco political-military kingpin appears, and vengefully guns down Juana. Sharp escapes punishment due to his celebrity status, but realizes he has been instrumental in the death of the woman he loves.

Sharp transports Juana's coffin to the rural church where he had fallen in love with her. Racked by guilt, Sharp declines the priest's request that he sing at the sacrament: "Never again" he declares.

The plot deals with the theme of the loss of friendship. Four friends travel from Barcelona to Berlin, set to deliver a surprise birthday party to their friend Comas. However disappointment ensues, as they find things are not as they were before when they were young.

A chance meeting at a nightclub brings together a nervous Laura and an awkward Ryan. The characters agree to go on a second date. And when the meeting time approaches, each of the young people begins to get nervous. They have little to no experience in romantic relationships. Sophisticated friends are taken to prepare them for the meeting. How bad can a second date end up being and what can you lose on it? Ryan and Laura will soon find out!

Set in the heart of the Spanish Romani community, the fiction follows police inspector Elena Blanco and her team, as they try to crack the crime case pertaining to the murders of sisters Lara and Susana Macaya, separated by a 7-year gap.

Steven Grant identifies the hippopotamus-headed woman as the Egyptian goddess Taweret, who explains to him and Marc Spector that they are dead and that the "psychiatric hospital" is actually inside a boat sailing through the Duat. She weighs their hearts on the Scales of Justice to determine if they would be allowed to enter the Field of Reeds, and she advises them to help each other uncover hidden memories causing their imbalance. Grant sees a memory of Spector's younger brother Randall drowning and Spector's mother Wendy blaming him for it, while Spector reveals to Grant how he became Khonshu's avatar on a mission with his partner Bushman. Spector and Grant convince Taweret to let them return to the living world to stop Arthur Harrow, who has released Ammit, and she steers the boat towards the Gates of Osiris.

"Dr. Harrow", a psychiatrist version of Harrow, convinces Spector to fully open up to Grant, and Spector reluctantly explains that he unknowingly created Grant as a result of their mother's abuse. Grant and Spector reconcile with each other, but their scales fail to balance, causing hostile spirits to attack them. While fending them off, Grant falls off the boat and is consumed by the Duat. The scales become balanced, and Spector finds himself in the Field of Reeds.

The book begins with a brief rebel attack with no casualties. After the attack, America receives a letter from her sister, May, informing her that she is now an aunt as her older sister Kenna gave birth to a baby daughter.

King Clarkson is on a business trip to France, and taking advantage of his absence, to unarmed leaders of the Northern Rebels arrive at the palace and ask to speak with America and Maxon. They introduce themselves as August Illéa and his fiancée Georgia Whitaker. America recognizes her as the girl who saw her hiding up in a tree in The Elite, and bowed to her, during a previous rebel attack. August is a direct descendant of Illéa's founder, Gregory Illéa, but he doesn't want the crown. He insists that the Northern rebels actually support the monarchy and especially Maxon. They only want nominated officials and an end to the castes. When Maxon asks him what exactly they want from him, if not money, August says that they want him to choose America as his wife. Maxon refuses to let them force him into this decision. America, although she supports their goals, is also angry that they want her as their pawn.

During The Report, the King announces publicly that the rebels are now attacking people by caste, the castes of the four Elites, starting from the Twos and working their way down to Fives. America encourages the people of Illéa to fight back the rebels.

During a date with Maxon, he takes her up to the roof of the palace, where they both get wet under the rain and share secrets with each other. Dancing under the rain, they kiss passionately. America realizes that she really loves Maxon, but doesn't admit it to him.

One morning, America finds Celeste crying alone in the library, because of the sudden popularity America gained after the last Report. Celeste admits that she is jealous of her and afraid of her own future, because her career as a model will finish when she grows older. She needs the crown's fame more than she needs Maxon's love. She apologizes to America for the bad things she has done during the Selection and they become friendlier with each other.

America asks the help of Aspen to get her and Maxon to meet August. That night, they both dress as Sixes. Aspen and Officer Avery take them to August and Georgia's home. August reveals that there are already three hundred Twos dead around the country by Southerners. He asks Maxon for weapons so that the Northerners can fight the Southerners, something that Maxon has to think carefully about. When they leave, they are attacked by a group of Southern rebels with guns. They all manage to escape and return to the palace, but America is shot in her right arm, a non-fatal wound, which Anne and Marlee help to clean and stitch up.

A tea party will be held and each of the Elite has to invite two guests. America shares with Maxon her plan about the tea party: she invites the Italian princess Nicoletta and Georgia. When they meet each other, Georgia explains to Nicoletta the goals of the Northern rebels and asks her to fund their weapons so they can fight the Southerners. After contemplating, Nicoletta finally accepts this request, as she wants her country to support the future of Illéa, a possible ally.

Maxon gives as a present to America a set of earrings and a matching bracelet. It's tradition for the prince to present the Elite with jewelry that they wear in the Convicting. In this event, the Elite must publicly and in front of the royal family condemn some criminals to jail, instead of whipping. The other Elite send the criminals to jail for some years, but when America faces a thief who is punished to jail for life, for only stealing some clothes for his children, she is unable to do this. She realizes that this was the King's plan, to make her appear either disobedient or merciless to the public. As an only solution, she offers her earrings, her bracelet, and her father's necklace to the man, to pay off his debt to the king, thus releasing him from jail.

King Clarkson angrily forces Maxon to kick America out of the Selection, but Maxon insists that she is now too popular to leave. The King calls America and Maxon some days later to his office and informs them that the Italian royal family has invited the King's family to Italy, also asking for America to accompany them. He asks her how she became so friendly with them and managed to make the two countries almost allies, something that Illéa hasn't managed for decades. Realizing that America is too valuable and popular, the King decides that she can stay.

On Christmas Day, Maxon shows America his room. She admires his photo collection, noticing hundreds photos of her on his wall. He asks her again about her feelings for him and he kisses her passionately to "force" her to finally admit her love. Before it happens though, a guard arrives, announcing to America about her father's death, due to a heart attack.

America returns to her home in Carolina for the funeral. America's mother dismisses May and Gerad from the room, and asks for Kenna, Kota, and America to stay. She then gives each of them a letter from their father that he wrote before his death. In America's letter, her father, among his loving words, informs her that when he went to the palace on Halloween, he had found Gregory Illéa's diaries in her room and informed others about this. He did this for her sake, however, and he tells her to "look unto the North Star." America combines these words with the way his signature looks like the North Star, the stars on Georgia's jacket, and many other memories and realizes that her father was a Northern rebel.

When America returns to the palace, she finds that all the Selected girls are there to celebrate the engagement of Maxon with one of the only two remaining Elite: Kriss and America. Maxon has decided to end the Selection and will announce his choice the next morning. America realizes that the necklace Kriss wears depicts the North Star, revealing that she is also a Northern rebel. America confronts Kriss about this and Kriss tells her that at first she was in the Selection because she was a rebel, but then adds that when Maxon and America were fighting after Marlee's caning, she saw a chance to get close to Maxon and she fell in love with him.

America, no longer in a celebrating mood, leaves the party and goes to her room. Later, Maxon comes to visit and tells her that he has chosen her to be his wife and future queen. They begin making out and they ultimately admit their love for each other. They get undressed, almost to their underwear, with America telling him that she loves his back scars, because they are a sign of his love for her. A sudden noise in the hallway though stops them from going any further. Maxon simply sleeps next to her, both of them feeling safe and loved.

The next morning, when Maxon begins tickling America and she screams because of this, Aspen barges into her room and catches them during this semi-intimate moment in their underwear. He leaves in a hurry and America feels ashamed. Maxon later leaves to get ready for the engagement announcement. America talks to Aspen about what he saw, putting her hands on his chest. At that moment, Maxon appears again with Kriss and they are both shocked. Maxon finally realizes that Aspen was the man America had in mind all these months. Completely heartbroken and hurt, Maxon tells her that he can't marry her after discovering this and orders Aspen to get out of his sight before he sends him to New Asia to die. America tries to explain the situation, but Maxon refuses to listen and leaves with Kriss.

During the engagement ceremony, America prepares herself to hear Maxon announce his choice of Kriss. A lot of people attend the event, including all the Selected girls, August, Georgia, and even some of the Northern rebels in secret. Suddenly, Southern rebels dressed as guards start shooting, killing Celeste and Anne among many people. A rebel attempts to shoot America, but Maxon leaps toward her to save her life and gets hit below his left shoulder. Close to death, he apologizes to America for almost not choosing her, saying that he loves her to his last breath and that his heart belongs to her, so she can "break it a thousand times if she likes." He orders Aspen to save America, not him, and Aspen obeys, taking her to a safe room with the intention of returning and saving the Prince too.

America tries to escape from the safe room with a gun she found by shooting at the door, but to no avail. She promises to herself that if Maxon survives, she will allow him to call her "my dear." August and Gavril, who is revealed to also be a Northern rebel, finally come to set her free. The Northerners managed to fight back the Southerners with the weapons Nicoletta and America had secretly given them. August and Gavril take America to the hospital where she reunites with Aspen, who is severely injured but alive. He informs her that Maxon is also alive and is now the king, as both his parents were killed by the rebels. Aspen confesses to America that he still cares a lot about her, but isn't in love with her anymore. Lucy comes in at that moment and she and Aspen kiss, with America finally realizing and approving of their relationship.

She visits Maxon in his room where he is recovering from his wound. He tells her his decision about dissolving the castes, starting with the Eights merging with the Sevens and so on. He then gives her a beautiful engagement ring, officially asking her to marry him. She happily accepts his proposal.

In the epilogue, America prepares for her wedding with Maxon, having Marlee as her only bridesmaid. Marlee and her husband Carter are both named the first casteless citizens, and become attendants of the royal couple. The coronation will also be part of the wedding, where Maxon and America will be crowned as the new King and Queen of Illéa. Aspen, who will soon get married to Lucy, walks America down the aisle and gives her to Maxon, the two men now respecting each other. Maxon calls America "my dear" and they both smile, ready to exchange their wedding vows.

In 1944 Romania, the Wehrmacht is being steadily pushed back by the Red Army. A Wehrmacht squad led by Major Kurt Fleischer are engaged in heavy fighting while Fleischer is summoned for a new and dangerous mission. Fleischer is ordered to take Professor Anna Kappel from the Ahnenerbe together with SS ''Sturmbannführer'' Heinrich Metzger into a forest, widely believed to be haunted, to find some ancient relic. Fleischer is dubious about the mission, all the more so because Kappel is his former lover while Metzger is his enemy, but complies.

Upon entering the forest, Fleischer and his men encounter a Red Army squad fleeing in terror from some unseen enemy and gun down all of the Russians except for the sniper Natalya Kovalenko. The sniper Dieter Baum chases after her and during a struggle, she dissolves into dust. The demented SS ''Standartenführer'' Ackermann is found wandering the forest and he warns them all to leave before he is shot down. Fleischer and his men find the body of professor Bernd Dietrich of the Ahnenerbe crushed by a tank in part of the forest where it is impossible for tanks to operate. As various strange events take place, tensions rise between Fleischer and Metzger. Fleischer tells his adjunct Fuchs that it would be better for Germany to lose the war rather to ruled by men like Metzger whom it is revealed to have hanged a number of Jewish children a few weeks earlier. Fleischer discovers that there was a previous mission into the forest led by Dietrich and Ackermann that had disappeared and confronts Kappel. She tells him that Dietrich was convinced of the existence of a race of "Aryan god-men", described as superhuman beings with god-like powers who have been living in the forest for millions of years, and the purpose of the mission is to find a relic that will permit the SS to have the "god-men" use their powers to help the ''Reich'' win the war.

One by one, Fleischer's men are killed in strange and horrible ways. At night, voices speaking in an unknown language are heard in the forest. Fleischer becomes convinced that the "god-men" are real, and are thoroughly malevolent beings who kill for the pleasure of killing. Fuchs is taken by the "god-men" to a point in time in the past where he encounters the mission led by Ackerman and Dietrich and learns that Kappel is a senior director at the Ahnenerbe while taking the relic with him. In the present, the dying Fuchs arrives at an enormous stone complex in the forest, where he writes a warning in his own blood.

Fleischer, Kappel and Metzger arrive at the same complex and find the relic that Fuchs brought with him. Fleischer fights Metzger to keep him from possessing the relic (which is never seen directly, but emits a green light from the bag it is placed in), and ultimately kills him. Fleischer tells Kappel to bury the relic, but instead she tries to kill him as she believes that the "god-men" will remake her into their image, giving her the same god-like powers. The "god-men" intervene to kill Kappel as she unwillingly plunges her knife into her heart. Fleischer buries the relic and leaves the forest a prematurely aged man. A group of Red Army soldiers encounter and kill him.

The film tells about an investigator named Issa Davydov, who, 10 years after investigating a series of brutal murders, finds out that innocent people were punished.

Decades ago, the city of Nadežra is captured from the Vraszenians clans by the Liganti. A dictator named Kaius Rex rules the city. Rex paves over the Wellspring of Ažerais, a sacred Vraszenian religious site, and replaces it with an amphitheater. After his death, peace is brokered between the Vraszenian clan elders and a five-person committee called the Cinquerat. Although peace is restored, the city remains unstable, with the native Vraszenians under the control of the Liganti nobility.

After the death of her mother, a Vraszenian street urchin named Ren joins the Fingers, a gang. She and her sworn siblings Tess and Sedge survive cruelties from the gang’s leader, Ondrakja. After Ondrakja beats Sedge, Ren poisons her. Ren and Tess flee the city, believing that Sedge and Ondrakja are dead.

Ren begins to feel genuine affection for the Traementis and feels guilty about her lies. Ren and Tess reunite with Sedge, who now works for a crime boss name Derossi Vargo. Ren also interacts with the Rook, a Vraszenian folk hero who fights against Liganti corruption.

Grey Serrado, a member of the city Vigil, investigates reports that street urchins are dying from insomnia. He also mourns the death of his brother Kolya; many citizens believe that the Rook started the fire that caused Kolya’s death. Vargo discovers that aža, a drug used to see the dream world, is being transformed into ash, a drug that allows people to touch the dream world directly. Ash can allow people to be killed by monsters called zlyzen, which live in the dream world.

Ren and the Rook suspect that Mettore Indestor, a member of the Cinquerat, is planning a violent uprising. On the Night of Bells, a celebration of the death of Kaius Rex, members of the Liganti elite and the Vraszenian elders are poisoned with ash. Leato Traementis and a Vraszenian clan leader are killed. Civil unrest erupts. Ren discovers that the woman behind the plague of insomnia is Ondrakja, who is using the dreams of street children to produce ash for Indestor.

With Vargo’s help, Serrado learns that Indestor plans to destroy the Wellspring and blame it on a radical Vraszenian group. Indestor and Ondrakja use magic to draw the Wellspring out of the dream world and into reality. Reality and dreams begin to collapse as Ren, the Rook, Vargo, and Sedge fight to save the Wellspring. Ondrakja is eaten by zlyzen. Vargo closes the junction between the dream world and reality, leaving the Wellspring intact.

Indestor is executed by the Vraszenian clan leaders, and his family is stripped of their property and noble status. In exchange for his help against Indestor, Vargo is granted ennoblement. Ren learns that Vargo was behind Kolya Serrado’s death. Her trust in Vargo broken, she informs the Rook. The Rook, revealed to be Grey Serrado, vows revenge.

But she does not agree with him, and Kelly is heartbroken when she tells him she does not like the 'new' Kelly. He reluctantly agrees to give the powers back to Red Elk.

Prior to the novel

Thousands of years ago, Aarkein Devaed destroyed the Shining Lands, inhabited by the Darecians. This was done so that the surviving Darecians would one day create the city of Deilannis, and with it a time-traveling device. Shammaeloth, a demon, hopes to use the device to bring the Darklands into Andarra. The Venerate believe that Shammaeloth is their god, El. They believe that when “El” reaches Deilannis, they will be able to change the past and undo all of the crimes that they have committed in El’s name.

Remi Watanuki is an unpopular Japanese idol who aspires to become an actress. However, the childhood trauma of being abandoned by her father has made her unable to cry, instead resorting to laughter as a defense mechanism, which severely limits her acting range. Unbeknownst to her, her father was actually a mercenary and has died in an unnamed war. Her manager, Kazuma Kujo, fought alongside her father in the war and was asked by him in his final moments to give her his bracelet as a keepsake and to help her achieve her dream. Kujo blackmails a film producer into inviting her to an audition for a role in a famed director's upcoming film. Despite her condition, Remi passes the early stages of the audition.

One day, Remi is harassed by members of a gang called Grim Reapers, a group of adrenaline junkies who seek thrills primarily through violence. Kujo comes to her aid wearing a Kamen Rider mask to conceal his identity, and a young man named Ryosuke helps her escape. The day before the final audition, Remi becomes frustrated about her condition and gets into an argument with Kujo in front of the event hall where she holds her live shows. Ryosuke appears, claiming to have wanted to watch her show, and persuades Remi to go somewhere with him. It turns out that Ryosuke is actually a leader of Grim Reapers nicknamed "Heart" and he takes Remi to their hideout to present to his brother "Spade" Naoto, her fan who has been banned from her shows due to his stalking behavior. Remi is then restrained at the hideout.

On the final audition day, Kujo learns of Ryosuke's true identity and invades the office of a yakuza group at war with the Grim Reapers in order to find out their hideout location. After being cornered by the yakuza's strongest fighter, Kujo awakens his dormant full fighting power and manages to defeat the thugs and get the hideout location from the yakuza leader. He assaults the hideout and incapacitates Spade, and knowing that they wouldn't make it back in time for the audition, sets up the equipment for a remote audition. Remi proceeds with the audition while Kujo fights off the Grim Reapers members, including Heart and the other two leaders, Diamond and Club. During the acting section of the audition, Spade regains consciousness and attempts to stab Kujo, which he willingly takes in an attempt to get Remi to overcome her condition. He defeats Spade and his plan turns out to be successful, as Remi becomes able to cry again. He gives Remi the bracelet, which image of a sleeping lion becomes a symbol of her awakening from her "curse". Remi completes the audition while Kujo fights Heart, who confronts him again to avenge his brother. Kujo defeats Heart and collapses from his injuries.

In the epilogue, Remi did not get the main role, but the director has taken a liking to her and given her a prominent supporting role instead. Kujo survives his injuries, has quit his job as her manager and watches Remi on television with his friend.

Dave Bennett, a senior bank executive, makes a routine visit to one of its branch offices to observe operations; the branch's savings to commercial deposit ratio seems too good to be true. He discovers that the head teller, the elderly Charles Brent, is suffering from a stomach ulcer; the workaholic strenuously objects to taking leave for the needed surgery. His wife, Sheila, a very attractive young woman, asks Bennett to allow her to assume her husband's duties while he is in hospital, and both men consent.

While temporarily presiding over the branch, Bennett, as well as Sheila, discover that Charles is embezzling funds and has cunningly concealed the imbalance in the accounts. Charles is using the stolen funds to provide his mistress, an employee at the branch, with gifts. Rather than report the matter to his superiors, Bennett—who is falling in love with the beautiful Sheila—enters into a pact with the married woman to correct the accounts and conceal her husband's criminality. Sheila is motivated by her desire to protect her two children from the “disgrace” of having a convicted criminal for a father. Bennett is motivated by his infatuation with Sheila, though their relationship remains chaste. Released from the hospital, Charles Brent dies in an armed confrontation with the police. Bennett and Sheila are now free to marry.

The film is told in a boyslove style. It tells a story of a man who is returning to his hometown Exalon after seven years living in a rival city, Lichtenberg. He meets a young person who works at his family's restaurant and begins a romantic relationship with them. The film was produced in Seoul in spring 2015 and in Taipei in summer that year. It premiered at the Tokyo Interdisciplinary Festival.

Desperately seeking to save the life of her ailing daughter Clara, who has just entered a coma, Mónica strikes a Faustian-like bargain that entails the prospect of beginning to kill people.

A young woman, Aria Wolf, wakes up blindfolded and hands tied in an elevator in Shanghai with no memory of how she got there. A video screen behind her crackles, and the elevator drops, tossing Aria and knocking her out. The elevator stops before crashing and slowly ascends.

Upon waking up, Aria frees herself from her bindings. She discovers an exit in the ceiling, but it is too high for her to reach. Her phone beeps, and she listens to a voicemail from her mother in which she hears her family escaping in a car with gunshots in the background. She hears her father speaking to Dr. Thompson, who promises to keep Zara safe, and then speaking to her uncle Jack saying that the family has been comprised. The voice mail ends with the sound of a car crash.

Debris falls on top of the elevator causing it to plummet again. Aria tries to call the emergency number for the elevator, but it is cut off when the phone loses the signal. Trying to force the doors open, the elevator falls a short distance. Aria uses the security intercom to contact someone when power returns, but they tell her they cannot locate her. The elevator falls again, knocking her out.

Aria dreams of herself and Zara, her sister, as young children on a beach, discussing how they need to stop events in the future. When she wakes up, the image of a man hanging from his wrists flashes on the screen. Aria manages to get the doors partially open. A security camera zooms in on her as she tries to get out, and the elevator falls again, knocking her out again.

Aria sees herself and Zara locked in a safe, discussing telling their parents about who they are, as Aria shows that she can dematerialize and rematerialize her hand. Her mother, Barbra, discusses with her father, Richard, how the girls never get sick, have strange markings on their forearms, and nature responds to them like trees that miraculously grow next to the house. Richard is skeptical until Zara shows him how she can create plants out of thin air.

Aria wakes up to her phone ringing and her mother tells her to keep the phone hidden and if she escapes to find her sister, Zara. The call ends with the sounds of a struggle and a gunshot. A while later, Aria wakes up to a call from her uncle Jack, who gives her some instructions before the signal drops again. Then the screen lights up revealing a her father tied up and beaten by an unknown man. The man demands the location of "the engineer", tortures her father and then instructs a henchman to drop the elevator, knocking her out once more.

Aria dreams of a time when she was surfing with her father. Her father asks about how she and her sister can control nature, but Aria reveals that only Zara can control nature while she can see the future. Upon waking up, Aria calls Jack, who reveals that Richard is a CIA operative and the family has been in witness protection for the last 12 years, with Jack protecting them from afar. Her captor is a Russian mercenary named Yaroslav, who wants information that only Richard knows. The screen lights up again and Aria hides her phone as she watches Yaroslav's men continue to torture her father for the location. When he refuses, the elevator is once again dropped.

Aria remembers a conversation with her sister as children where Aria makes Zara swear to not interfere in a future event, no matter what happens. Also, she suggests that they stop using their powers so as to protect their parents. Zara refuses and is shown later in rain with blood on her hands, saying that the man had to die for his cruelty, just like all other humans. When they are found by their parents, Aria admits to killing the man instead of Zara.

Returning to the present, Aria witnesses her father being tortured some more, and Yarslov again sends the elevator falling, knocking Aria out again. Aria sees herself in the future, accusing Zara of killing millions before screaming in rage. When she wakes up, she once again calls Jack saying that she cannot take any more of this. Jack informs her that they will be killed once Yarlov has the information and asks if she recalls her father making phone calls about a girl or an engineer. Confused, Aria states they are just an average family and that she doubts Jack can help her. The screen comes back on to reveal her father, and Aria encourages him to tell Yarslov the information this will end. Richard again refuses, and the screen goes black. Returning to her conversation with Jack, he reveals that Richard was tasked with transporting a chemical engineer and his daughter with extraordinary powers. The engineer had developed a means of improving humans and Richard was helping them when the Russians found them and tried to captured them. They failed, all of Yarslov's men were killed, and only Richard knows where the engineer and girl are.

Noticing a panel in the side of the elevator, Aria tries to escape but fails and is forced to return to the elevator. Answering a call from Jack, she reveals that she has found a way out. Jack encourages her not to use it, as this will result in Richard's death. The elevator drops again and she loses her phone out the hole. Looking through the hole, she sees the phone out of reach and breaks down in despair. After witnessing her father get tortured some more, she retrieves her phone and tries to call Jack, only to realize that Yaroslav is watching her. He threatens her father, forcing Aria to reveal that she is in contact with the CIA. Yaroslav tells her to call them and get the location of the engineer before cutting the connection. Aria calls Jack and informs him that their communication has been discovered. Jack tells her that they are close to finding her, but she needs to get Richard to reveal the engineer's location. It is then revealed that Jack has actually been Yaroslav using a voice changer.

Yaroslav returns on the screen demanding the information. Aria asks to talk to her father alone, but keeps the phone on so Jack can hear. Her father reveals that he made up the engineer to avoid this situation, as Aria had warn him years ago that this situation would happen. Aria asks where Zara is, to which he replies that she is safe and was hidden after Aria had killed the man. Aria confesses that she took the blame for Zara. When Aria reveals that she has been in contact with Jack, Richard is suspicious that Yaroslav would leave her with a phone, at which time Yaroslav reveals his decit and is angry that Richard had him chasing a ghost all these years. Richard tells Aria to play an voice mail on her phone which causes Aria to bend in pain and remember a time when she was in a safe and made the safe disintegrate. Yaroslav shoots Richard and sends the elevator plummeting. Aria focuses and causes the elevator to dematerialize and becomes a ball of light. Yaroslav and his henchmen go to leave, but Yaroslav is delayed and just misses getting into the elevator. The elevator wall changes into a face with glowing eyes and then drops killing the men. Aria rematerializes and reunites with her father. Dying, he encourages Aria to accept who she is and that there are things beyond her control. Aria leave the building to find her sister. Flashing to Zara on a beach, Zara walks away from the beach as Aria is shown walking into the city.

8-year-old Alex, Samantha, Jean, Mathilde, Renata, Maxime, Douglas and Dominique watch the film trilogy ''Arthur''. After the end of the third film, Alex's mother takes the children to sleep and wishes her son a happy birthday. Alex then tells his mother what his dream is: to become a Minimoy.

Ten years later, 18-year-old Alex tries to escape the gendarmes, while he is disguised as Arthur. For their part, Jean, Renata, Maxime, Dominique, Douglas and Mathilde then prepare the party for Alex's birthday. The latter arrives at his home after having escaped the gendarmes. Samantha then arrives disguised as Princess Selenia, which surprises Alex. The evening begins. Friends eat cake. Alex opens all the presents offered by his friends then goes to the room with Samantha to discuss. Maxime picks them up to come and watch the films of the saga. The group of friends then watches Luc Besson's trilogy, then gathers around the table to eat. Samantha announces a surprise to Alex: her friends have found the house that was used as a film set. Alex not believing it, his friends show him a video sent by their friends Momo and Pilou, where we see them in front of the famous house. The whole gang of friends leaves the next day to find the house.

After several hours on the road, the teenagers stop in a quiet little town to buy food. The inhabitants observe them, from their arrival until their departure. After getting back on the road, Renata stops near a house to ask their way. They ring the house bell while Mathilde takes pictures. She then notices a human foot torn off and hanging from a clothesline but when taking a photo, a dog jumps on it, followed by several other dogs as well as the inhabitant of the house. He asks them what they are doing here. The teenagers tell the villager that they are looking for the house that was used for the filming of the film ''Arthur and the Minimoys''. The inhabitant, who seems paranoid, tells them that the places around the house are dangerous and that they should turn around. The local gets angry and fires a shotgun shell in the air to make them leave.

When they have found the right path, the group of friends is forced to stop in the forest, due to a tree trunk blocking the road. Alex and the others continue the route on foot, while Renata leaves a trace of their passage with ribbons to find the road that leads to their car. The friends finally find the house they are taking a picture of and discover that the objects used in the filming are still there. Alex, Samantha, Maxime and Dominique then find a hatch that leads to the basement, while Jean, Mathilde, Douglas and Renata go upstairs to visit the rest of the house. Jean discovers that the rails of the train appearing in the film are still there as well as the paint having been used for the make-up. They find Momo and Pilou's camping stuff and wonder where they are. Alex, Samantha, Maxime and Dominique explore the basement, while Maxime and Dominique go upstairs to join the others. Meanwhile, Alex and Samantha explore the rest of the house. Alex then finds a blocked door and tries to open it, without success. They go back up but fall on Jean, made up in paint like a character from the film, who scares them.

Alex, Samantha and the others set up camp near the house then try to call Momo and Pilou to announce their arrival, but neither of them answers. The group of friends go into the forest to find wood to make a fire, having fun together and toasting Alex's birthday. Dominique, who has moved away, finds Momo's phone. Alex and the others begin to worry about Momo, but continue to party. While going to bed, Alex and Samantha mutually confess their feelings and kiss. In the night, Alex is awakened by a nightmare where he sees Momo, Pilou and himself being attacked by strangers. Leaving the tent to go do his business, Alex notices lights coming from the forest in the distance as well as several people. He calls Momo thinking it's him, but he gets no response and the lights suddenly go out.

The next day, the teenagers discover the cooler overturned and the food eaten. Douglas thinks a bear might have done this, while the others tell him there are no bears in the area. So they send Douglas to the car to do the shopping while Dominique and Maxime go swimming in the river in the forest. Douglas follows the flags Renata has hung from the trees to find the way back to the cars, but falls sur a strange tree where a person seems to be stuck inside. As he approaches the tree, a person arrives and knocks him unconscious. Maxime and Dominique are resting by the river but end up discovering Momo's body, unconscious, hanging from a tree. Maxime, while trying to unhook the rope attached to Momo's foot, puts his foot in a bear trap which cuts off his foot. Dominique arrives to get Maxime's foot out of the trap and succeeds in cutting the rope to which Momo is hanging, who dies from his fall. Meanwhile, the rest of the group find the hole used for the filming which, in the movies, was the gateway to the kingdom of the Minimoys. Taking Jean's camera by tying it with a tied rope to observe the depth of the hole, they then observe something strange that rips the camera off, pulling Jean into the hole. Alex cuts the rope that connects Jean to the camera and saves his friend.

Renata angrily tells Alex that they should all go home after what happened. But in the distance, they notice Dominique, carrying Maxime on his back and who ends up falling to the ground. After being joined by the group, Dominique explains to Alex that Momo is dead and begs him to leave. After treating Maxime, Alex, Jean and Dominique bring him to the cars, leaving Samantha, Mathilde and Renata at home. As they arrive at the car, they find that a log has fallen on Renata's vehicle and Douglas has gotten lost in the forest. While Alex and Jean are looking for him, they leave Dominique and Maxime behind in Jean's car with instructions to honk every 2 minutes to make sure they are okay, and to honk several times in case of problem. At home, Renata and Samantha sit on a swing to listen to music.

Mathilde then looks at the photos she has taken with her camera and notices in the photos that a person is watching them from the window upstairs in the house; when she turns her head to observe the window, she then sees that the person is still observing her. To be safe, she locks herself in the barn, but sees through the door that a person is lurking around the barn. She climbs onto the roof, which attracts a whole honeycomb towards Mathilde, who is allergic to bee stings. Stuck in the barn, she breaks the window to try to get out but succumbs to her allergy. Alex and Jean, still in the forest looking for Douglas, find the latter with his hands clinging to a tree. As Jean approaches him, he notices that his arms are ripped off, signifying Douglas' death. Dominique, watching over Maxime, notices that strangers are approaching the car; he then honks several times to signal the danger to Alex and Jean, but someone breaks the car window. In the distance, Alex and Jean hear the cries of their friends, but, soon enough, they are already dead. Alex and Jean therefore head towards the house to alert Renata and Samantha.

In the distance, Xander calls Samantha telling her to get away as soon as possible, but the person who has been watching them all along cuts the wire of the swing she is sitting on, causing her to fall into a tunnel under the house. Xander, Jean, and Renata cast a fluorescent light to locate her and grab a rope to bring her to the surface, but a hand grabs Samantha's foot and drags her down with her into the basement. Alex and Jean therefore immediately go to the basement to try to find her and, while crossing a tube, Alex falls on Pilou's lifeless body, but finds Samantha, alive and made up with paint like in the film. Jean announces to Renata, who remained on the ground floor, that they have found Samantha; but as she catches her breath, a person who had confused themselves with the walls of the house with paint on her body, approaches her and kidnaps her. As they head back downstairs, Jean, Samantha, and Alex lay on the floor, taking a deep breath, but upon hearing footsteps, Alex turns around and gets knocked out with a punch. .

Kidnapped by people dressed as Matassalai, characters from the Arthur and the Invisibles trilogy, Alex, Samantha, Renata and Jean regain consciousness while they are tied up. A Matassalai approaches Alex telling him that the moon is full and that he is ready to join the world of the Minimoys, Jean tries to find a plan and cut the rope that keeps them prisoners. As the Matassalai pull on the vines to send Alex into the world of the Minimoys, as in the second part of the saga, Jean arrives to rescue her friend with Renata while Samantha leaves to seek help.

But as she tries to get the Matassalai's attention, several people disguised as Minions (the minions of Maltazard in the movies) arrive, armed with knives, and one of them stabs Renata who bleeds out. A fight between the Matassalai and the Minions then begins. Alex tries to escape from the vines that hold him prisoner and Jean fights with a Matassalai, which knocks him out; but as he is about to finish him off, Alex arrives and stabs the Matassalai in the back with a spear. After escaping, Samantha comes across a figure, which turns out to be a person disguised as Maltazard, the villain of the Arthur and the Invisibles movies. As she flees, she is caught by Maltazard, who tries to strangle her to death, but she is saved by the paranoid inhabitant of the house, whom the gang had met to ask directions. Shooting Maltazard with his rifle, he then kills the Matassalai and the remaining Minions. He then approaches Alex telling him that he told them not to approach this house because it was dangerous; he then threatens Alex by pointing his gun to his head, and tells him not to set foot in that house again, which Alex accepts. The inhabitant of the house leaves and leaves them in the middle of the corpses, but the police and the emergency services arrive to save them.

In the morning, the police, who have completely secured the place, announce to them the death of Mathilde and tell them that the bodies of their friends will be repatriated. The police also tell Alex, Samantha, and Jean that their attackers were just a bunch of out-of-town, drug-addicted kids who played deadly role-playing games like Batman vs. Superman, but they started playing Arthur and the Invisibles after discovering the house that was filmed. When getting into a police van that will take them to the hospital, Alex notices an individual at the window of the top floor of the house watching them. After they leave, the house and the field around it are surrounded by police and medical examiners, dealing with the corpses of the Matassalai and the Minions, as well as those of Mathilde, Renata, Douglas, Dominique and Maxime but also the band member, disguised as Maltazard.

Two Serpents Rise

In the desert city of Dresediel Lex, Caleb Altemoc works as a risk manager for Red King Consolidated (RKC), which controls the flow of water in the city. His friend Teo also works at RKC. Caleb has a contentious relationship with his father Temoc. As a priest, Temoc was responsible for human sacrifice, a practice which has been outlawed since the priests lost the God Wars. Temoc is now a guerrilla fighter and a wanted terrorist. RKC is led by the King in Red, a powerful undead Craftsman. The King in Red had fought in the God Wars to avenge his lover, who was killed as a human sacrifice. Caleb investigates after a guard is killed by a demon in an RKC reservoir. He finds a woman named Mal trespassing at the scene, but she escapes.

The King in Red asks Caleb to represent the firm in a potential deal to acquire Heartstone Company. Heartstone is drawing power from two massive, slumbering serpents, which were once worshipped in Dresediel Lex. When the deal is signed, Caleb learns that Mal is a high-ranking Heartstone executive. One of the conditions for the Heartstone acquisition is that RKC will never allow the serpents to wake.

Demons begin appearing in the city’s water supply, leading to social unrest. Mal and Caleb are instructed to fix the contamination. Together, Caleb and Mal defeat a rogue Craftswoman from Heartstone who had damaged the city’s water. They grow close and begin a romantic relationship, but they quarrel after Caleb learns that Mal still worships the old gods.

Mal awakens the serpents. As a follower of the old gods, she plans to force RKC out of the city. RKC has been substantially weakened by its contractual obligation to keep the serpents asleep. Caleb, Teo, and Temoc break into RKC headquarters. Caleb and Teo want to destroy the Heartstone contract. Temoc believes that the best way to send the serpents back to sleep is to resume human sacrifice instead. He prepares to sacrifice Teo, but she escapes and destroys the contract. The King in Red regains much of his strength, and Temoc flees. Caleb feeds RKC's power into the serpents, sating them and sending them to sleep once again. Mal disappears, presumably killed in the conflict. Caleb retires from RKC and starts his own firm, desiring peace between theists and Craftspeople.

Votes For Women is a play in 3 acts; the entire play takes place between Sunday noon and six in the evening of the same day, and the first begins in the Wynnstay House in Hertfordshire. We meet Vida Levering, a fiery feminist, and she asks Mrs. Wynnstay for money to build a women’s shelter for single mothers. However, the entire time she is being made fun of, not only by men in the estate but also by some of the other women despite some being sympathetic to the suffrage cause. Beatrice, the niece of the Wynnstay family, becomes fascinated by Vida, her feminist ideals, and her passion for women’s suffrage. Despite the warnings of the other women, namely because of Vida’s alleged past with a “crank doctor” (implying she got an abortion), Beatrice accompanies Vida to the Trafalgar rally. The curtain rises for act two on the Trafalgar rally, and it is here we learn that Beatrice’s fiancee, Geoffrey Stonor, is the man who impregnated Vida 10 years ago. As the act plays out, we discover that Vida became pregnant and told Geoffrey Stonor, and he coerced her into having an abortion (which at the time was both illegal and highly unsafe for the mother). This is monumental news to Beatrice, who is taken aback as to how her fiancee could do such a thing to another woman, taking Vida’s choice away from her. Beatrice becomes even more fiercely feminist and takes up the suffrage cause. In Act three, Beatrice demands that Geoffrey promptly marry Vida, which makes him reluctantly propose. Vida denies the proposal but uses her influence over both Geoffrey and Beatrice to convince Beatrice to have Geoffrey campaign for women’s rights, even though he is a stark conservative. This would never have happened without the rally in Act Two, which one could claim is the most vital act in Votes For Women.

A rumour starts that it is Brunhilda herself, brought back to the grave, and many start to leave. Her renewed life causes Brunhilda to thirst for the blood of the young, and many of the children in the surrounding area start to wither and die. The parents of the remaining children flee, leaving only old servants, Walter, and his two children. Brunhilda lulls them to sleep with wonderful dreams, and feeds on them, gradually killing them. Walter is appalled, but remains under her spell; she tries at first to resist feeding on him, but soon relents. Losing his strength, Walter goes hunting and happens to find a strange plant which he starts to eat. This has properties which allow him to resist Brunhilda's power, and he remembers the sorcerer's offer of help. He hastens to the place appointed, where he find the sorcerer waiting for him, who conducts him to a cave, and tells him that he will have to remain there until the new moon. Brunhilda finds him there, but cannot reach him due to the sorcerer's spells. When the new moon arrives, the sorcerer travels with Walter to the castle, and gives Walter a dagger, which he uses to stab through her heart, and at the same time swearing to renounce her forever, which returns her to death. The sorcerer tells Walter that if he ever thinks of Brunhilda intentionally, she will return again. He thinks of Swanhilda, and travels to seek her forgiveness, but she refuses on learning of their children's death. Returning home, Walter meets a woman who strongly resembles Swanhilda, and he allows her and her group to stay with him. He puts on a lavish feast over several days, and finally proposes to marry her. She accepts, but on their wedding night she transforms into a serpent, and crushes him to death.

Since January 1937 the Republican unit which manned the frontline in Usera was the 36. Mixed Brigade, a regular regiment-type unit of the loyalist army composed of 4 battalions, numbered 141 to 144; it formed part of the 4. Infantry Division. Its counter-intelligence officer was captain Casimiro Duran Muñoz, a 32-year-old PCE member who following a spell in rearguard militia was seconded to combat troops. He was busy tracking spies, potential deserters and detractors within own ranks; according to some sources he resolved to provocation and charged few individuals, who were later executed. Some time in September 1937 he arrived at an idea of luring individuals who sought refuge in Madrid diplomatic missions into a trap, and obtained approval from the commander of the Brigade, Justo López de la Fuente. Taking advantage of his network of informers and collaborators Duran floated rumors about corrupted Republican militiamen ready to escort people to an underground tunnel, reportedly running across Usera to the Nationalist-held territory. Duran also posed as a right-winger himself; since September he visited premises suspected of having been frequented by Nationalist supporters, and offered safe passage to the alleged tunnel in return for money or valuables.

In late 18th-century or early 19th-century Italy, a young drunkard named Luciano is angered after the local prince blocks a gateway commonly used by civilians. Luciano breaks the gate open and is later confronted by soldiers, who beat him.

Luciano finds a golden necklace in a body of water and gifts it to Emma, whom he has begun a romance with, much to the dismay of her father, Severino. Upon learning of an apparent romantic entanglement between Emma and the prince, Luciano confronts Emma in the presence of the prince before angrily storming off.

After failing to dissuade Luciano from pursuing Emma, Severino recruits the two soldiers from earlier to kill Luciano, who survives but falls unconscious in the woods. During a religious procession in town, the two soldiers lead Emma to the gateway from the beginning, claiming the prince requested her presence. Instead, the two of them corner and rape her.

Meanwhile, Luciano awakens and makes his way back to town. In an act of spite against the prince, he sets fire to the gateway, not knowing Emma is inside, accidentally killing her. Luciano is spared prison in favor of exile to Argentina.

Five years later, in Argentina, a group of gold-seekers is in pursuit of a priest and the treasure he is after. They find and capture the priest, who—unbeknownst to the group—is actually Luciano posing as a priest, and he shows them his unusual method of treasure-hunting: placing a crab on the ground and walking whichever direction it leads him.

Luciano is freed by one of the men after agreeing to share the treasure with him, and the two of them secretly split from the group.

After much searching, the two men share a drink, at which point, the gold-seeker correctly deduces that Luciano is not really a priest. Luciano explains that he had come across a dying priest who, in exchange for a proper burial, gave him a journal detailing the legend of the treasure's location and an Indigenous myth about a secluded crab lagoon, which Luciano believes to be connected.

As Luciano finishes his story, one of the treasure-hunters they left behind manages to find them, killing the crab, shooting Luciano, and initiating a standoff. Luciano successfully kills the returning treasure-hunter, but only after his own partner has been killed, leaving Luciano the sole survivor.

With no crab to guide him, Luciano wanders aimlessly, wounded and distraught. Miraculously, he stumbles across the fabled lagoon, filled with crabs and surrounded by mountains on all sides. The film ends with a shot of Luciano and Emma, back in Italy, wading together in a body of water.

John Jameson, editor of the Daily Bugle, who prints the report and successfully sells out the entire circulation of the paper. Peter tries to lead an ordinary life--working and studying--and, despite the city's growing crime rate, decides not to get involved, letting the police do their job. At the same time, a new crime boss nicknamed Kingpin appears in town. While riding his moped, Peter hears a cry for help, to which no one responds, and decides to help. He rescues a night watchman who reminds him of his Uncle Ben and the moment Peter decided to become Spider-Man. He goes to the Daily Bugle office, where he picks up his costume and decides to wait for Jameson to tell him that Spider-Man is returning.

A brief flashback depicts Barry (Bill Hader) trying to save his partner, Albert Nguyen (James Hiroyuki Liao), when he is shot at Korengal Valley. In present day, Albert is revealed to be alive and working as an FBI special agent; he visits Mae Dunn (Sarah Burns) and Chief Krauss (Gary Kraus), intending to find Janice Moss' murderer. He rejects the idea that "The Raven" killed her, and wonders about Barry's role in her death.

Barry moves back with his old roommates, but his old room is extremely limited as they turned it into an audition room. Barry also asks relationship advice from Hank (Anthony Carrigan) and Cristobal (Michael Irby), who both state that Barry needs to express himself more sincerely to Sally. ''Joplin'' initially becomes a viewership success at its streaming service, BanShe, but the show is soon overshadowed by a new show, frustrating Sally (Sarah Goldberg). When she complains to BanShe executives, they announce they will cancel the show, despite its glowing reviews and only being online for barely 12 hours, citing that their algorithm indicated it wouldn't reach its target demographic. Natalie (D'Arcy Carden) consoles Sally, stating that she created something special and that she learned a lot working with her.

Fernando's daughter and Cristobal's wife, Elena (Krizia Bajos), arrives at Los Angeles, intending to find the people responsible for her father's death. She leads a raid on the heroin shop, killing some of Hank's employees and alerting the police. Batir (JB Blanc) evades the raid as he was nearby live-streaming the operations to his Chechen bosses, who are angry with the attack. Hank is alerted of the attack by Akhmal (Turhan Troy Caylak), who was kidnapped by the Bolivians. Then, he hides in the closet just as the Bolivians enter and take Cristobal. Elena then wanders through the house and is heartbroken to see a picture of Hank and Cristobal together and she leaves. Meanwhile, Albert is dismayed at the police's incompetence and demands that they interrogate more suspects.

With his new success, Gene (Henry Winkler) attends a party hosted by Joe Mantegna. At dinner, Gene apologizes for his poor behavior in the past to Mantegna, and also apologizes to a woman whom he previously dated, Annie (Laura San Giacomo). Annie then states that Gene ruined her directing career by blacklisting her from the industry after she left him. She then leaves the party, unwilling to accept his apology. Meanwhile, Fuches (Stephen Root) starts recruiting hitmen by contacting the sister of Barry's fellow hitman Taylor, claiming Barry owed him money.

At his house, Barry runs into Kyle (Alexander Macnicoll) as he was checking it and just asks him to help him open the door for the grocery bag. Kyle runs back to his car, where Julie (Annabeth Gish) states she will be the one that kills Barry. That night at Sally's house, Barry leaves a note to Sally and to return his key when Sally enters, crying from the show's cancellation. Despite wanting to be alone, Barry consoles her and asks for the executive's address, claiming he will "freak" her out and detailing some planned psychological torture. An even more scared Sally demands that he leave. Outside, Julie and Kyle prepare to execute their plan when Julie accidentally pulls the trigger and shoots Kyle in the stomach, alerting Barry. Julie then drives off while Barry stares at the van, before walking away.

At the outskirts, Fuches (Stephen Root) tells Taylor's sister, Traci (Jolene Van Vugt) and her biker gang that Barry (Bill Hader) was supposed to install a hot tub for Taylor nearby and instructs them to confront Barry about it, giving them his address. Suddenly, one of the gang members pulls out a gun and shoots Fuches in the chest. The gang then leaves, leaving Fuches lying on the ground, bleeding.

Albert (James Hiroyuki Liao) continues investigating with the police, refusing to believe that "The Raven" or Hank (Anthony Carrigan) would be involved in Fernando's murder, deeming that a person with military background was involved. He visits Sharon (Karen David), the widow of Barry's military friend, Chris, both unaware of Barry's role in his death. Albert is surprised when she tells him that Barry is now taking acting classes and she suggests they should meet. She calls Barry, telling him she is organizing a charity dinner for veterans and wants him to attend that night, which he accepts to do.

Despite cancelling her show, BanShe tells Sally (Sarah Goldberg) that they want her to work on another project and she is hesitant to accept the offer. Tom Posorro (Fred Melamed) informs Gene (Henry Winkler) that Bob Jacobson, a powerful producer, wants him to lead his own streaming series, ''Gene Cousineau MasterClass''. Gene will accept but only if Annie (Laura San Giacomo) works on the project. Annie refuses to work with him, although she is moved when Gene offers to give her all his potential money. Back at the outskirts, a man (Sal Lopez) finds Fuches and takes him to his house, where he is tended by his family. He is contacted by Jim (Robert Ray Wisdom), father of Janice Moss, who wants to meet with him to discuss new information. Enjoying his new life and having fallen in love with the man's daughter Anita, Fuches hangs up.

Sally meets with Morgan Dawn-Cherry (Vanessa Bayer), a BanShe executive. She offers Sally a place in the writer's room in the series that replaced ''Joplin'' on the homepage, as she feels Sally could improve its critical reception. Sally considers this a downgrade but Lindsay (Jessy Hodges) convinces her to accept the job, as she will earn a good reputation with the executives. At the house, Fuches talks with the man, who notes that seems to improve on his life, revealing he knows about Anita's feelings towards him and tells him he's a good man, although he tells him he must follow any "sign of God". Fuches then sees a newspaper depicting Barry and Gene and steals the man's car. He then calls Jim back, wanting to meet with him to discuss crucial evidence on Janice's murder.

Traci's gang break into Barry's house, finding some evidence of his whereabouts. They intercept him while he is driving to the dinner, exposing their intentions in front of him. Barry flees, hitting a biker but crashing his car. He then steals the motorbike but is recognized by the bikers. He then drives through the Interstate 710N and a chase ensues, with Barry managing to leave the freeway while the bikers crash into cars. Barry's bike runs out of gas just as Traci is nearby, forcing him to hide in a used car dealership. Traci arrives on top of the dealership and starts firing, until she is killed by the owner with a shotgun. As the police sirens are heard, Barry leaves the dealership.

Barry makes it to Sharon's house, and eats a beignet. He investigates the events and finds that the bikers were connected to Taylor. He also finds Fuches' fake contact card on the table, before seeing Sharon coldly staring at him. He soon falls unconscious shortly after realizing Sharon poisoned the beignet.

The episode begins at a church service attended by George Krempf (Michael Bofshever), Ryan Madison's father, who remains standing while everyone sits. Barry (Bill Hader) starts convulsing on the floor after being poisoned by Sharon (Karen David), who just puts a blanket on him and leaves in her car. He wakes up the next morning and stumbles out of the house while hallucinating himself walking onto a beach, approaching a crowd of people.

Sally (Sarah Goldberg) has started working on ''The New Medusas'' as part of the writers' room. She earns a good reputation among the other writers by questioning the showrunner on the series' outlandish and over-sexualized content, something the writers were too scared to do. However, she is seething when she discovers that Natalie (D'Arcy Carden) managed to get her own series with distinct similarities to ''Joplin''. Sally furiously confronts her in the elevator, shrieking in Natalie's face and calling her vulgar names. Later, Lindsay (Jessy Hodges) informs Sally that Natalie recorded the altercation and leaked it to the media, and now Sally has been fired from BanShe as a result. Meanwhile, Gene (Henry Winkler) has started his ''MasterClass'' acting course, with Annie (Laura San Giacomo) serving as director, even though she confides in her script supervisor Sheryl that she doesn't know what she is doing.

In Bolivia, Hank (Anthony Carrigan) tries to find Cristobal by being taken by some of Elena's employers. He is taken to a cell, where he discovers that Akhmal (Troy Caylak) and Yandar (Nick Gracer) are in the cell next to him and are already planning to escape. Sally issues an apology video against Lindsay's wishes, and Lindsay views the apology as damage control. Sally insists that her words are genuine and lashes out at Lindsay, claiming she only cares about her profits and her rapport with BanShe. Lindsay quits as her manager and leaves.

Fuches (Stephen Root) visits Moss's father Jim (Robert Ray Wisdom), a Vietnam War veteran who specialized in psychological warfare, to discuss Barry's role in Moss's death. Jim instead takes Fuches to the police to be arrested, where Dunn (Sarah Burns) identifies him as "The Raven". At first believing Fuches was trying to frame Barry, Jim grows suspicious when he learns that Gene also blamed Barry for everything bad that happened to him. Jim questions Gene at the ''MasterClass'' wrap party about Barry. Gene claims Barry is a good person, but Jim notices sweat on Gene's forehead, raising his suspicions.

Still suffering from the hallucinatory effects of the poison, Barry is taken by George to the parking lot outside a hospital. With a gun beside him, George says that he still thinks about Ryan and how he changed his life for the better, lamenting his death and the damage that Barry inflicted on him. Barry imagines himself reaching the crowd on the beach, which is full of people he killed, including Chris (Chris Marquette) and Goran Pazar (Glenn Fleshler). He suddenly wakes up while being rushed to the emergency room and sees George has taken his own life with the aforementioned gun.

Albert (James Hiroyuki Liao), who has also grown suspicious about Barry's potential connection to the murders, questions Fuches with the cameras in the interrogation room off. Realizing who Albert is, Fuches admits his role in turning Barry into a hitman, and slyly reveals Barry's role in Chris' death. An alarmed Albert leaves the station, taking his gun from his desk.

Barry (Bill Hader) briefly hallucinates himself on the beach populated by the people he killed, seeing Gene (Henry Winkler) and Sally (Sarah Goldberg) before waking up in the hospital. He leaves the hospital and goes back to his apartment, where Nick and Jermaine left a note explaining they left for Tijuana. There, he finds Sally, who asks him to psychologically scare Natalie, mirroring the suggestion that Barry made to her a few days ago.

Dunn (Sarah Burns) questions Fuches (Stephen Root), claiming the pin belongs to him and they linked him to Goran Pazar's murder. Fuches is then sent to prison, where he now claims to be "The Raven", although Dunn remains suspicious about him and what he said to Albert (James Hiroyuki Liao). Jim (Robert Ray Wisdom) makes Gene come to his house and interrogates him, repeatedly asking if he loved Janice, and then demanding to know why he is protecting Barry. Gene breaks down crying. At the apartment, Barry tries to dissuade Sally from getting revenge on Natalie, but they are interrupted by the surviving member from the Taylor gang (Anthony Molinari), who knocks Barry unconscious before attempting to strangle Sally. Sally manages to stab the man in the neck, and proceeds to brutally kill him with a baseball bat. Witnessing this upon waking up, Barry pulls her away and tells a traumatized Sally he will take responsibility for the events before telling her to leave.

In Bolivia, Hank (Anthony Carrigan) listens in horror as the Bolivians unleash a panther on Akhmal (Troy Caylak) and Yandar (Nick Gracer), killing them. As the panther starts tearing apart his wall, a now scared and angered Hank escapes from his handcuffs, fights a henchman for his machine gun, and kills the panther. He then goes into the house, finding that Elena (Krizia Bajos) is subjecting Cristobal (Michael Irby) to aversion therapy using a male dancer. Hank kills Elena and the dancer and embraces Cristobal, though he remains shaken by the day's events.

Barry takes the attacker's corpse and buries it in the outskirts of Los Angeles, only to be confronted by Albert. Holding him at gunpoint, Albert berates him over Chris' death and the murders he has committed, as Barry collapses in terror. Albert then chooses to forgive Barry, telling him that he has a daughter now who wouldn't be alive if Barry hadn't saved him in Korangal Valley. However, he warns Barry that he needs to stop being a hitman "starting now" and leaves Barry sobbing on the ground.

That night, Barry calls Sally, telling her everything will be fine and makes plans to leave town together. Unbeknownst to Barry, Sally has boarded a plane back to her hometown, Joplin, Missouri. He then receives a call from Jim, who wants to meet immediately with him. Barry hangs up and calls Gene, who cryptically states while having a gun ready that Jim is trying to ruin their lives and that they need to stop him. Barry arrives and takes the handgun from Gene, telling him to go home, despite Gene telling him not to go in the house as Jim knows Barry killed Janice. Barry enters the house and prepares to kill Jim, only to be ambushed by a police squad led by Dunn. Seeing Gene staring at him, Barry realizes that the entire situation was a set-up to arrest him. As Barry is taken away by police, Gene and Jim share a moment of bittersweet relief at having finally brought Janice's killer to justice. The episode ends as Gene leaves, while Jim stares outside the house.

It is the School Certificate year for Darrell and her schoolfellows in the Upper Fourth form. The girls face a tough year of hard work before the demanding examination.

Felicity, Darrell's younger sister, arrives at Malory Towers for her first term. Darrell is looking forward to taking Felicity under her wing and showing her round the school. She is annoyed when Felicity disappears, having been befriended by June, Alicia's brazen and confident younger cousin.

Connie and Ruth Batten join Malory Towers from Abbey School, in Yorkshire. Although they are twins, they are unalike in appearance, and their relationship is unsettling. It soon becomes evident that Ruth is being dominated by her sister, who rarely allows her to get a word in edgeways and routinely performs domestic tasks for her.

Another new girl is the Honourable Clarissa Carter. Gwendoline, impressed by the new girl's title, immediately decides to befriend her, but almost gets off to a bad start when Clarissa turns out to be unimpressive at first appearance - a slight and sickly girl with thick-lensed glasses and braces. When Clarissa slips by the side of the pool and accidentally pushes Gwendoline into the water, a furious Gwen is disbelieving that her friend could have been so mean to her.

Darrell is very proud when she is appointed Head Girl of the Form, a position she takes very seriously. On noticing that Gwendoline seems to be having an unhealthy influence on Clarissa, Darrell asks first Mavis and then Daphne to intervene by befriending Clarissa. Gwen responds by recounting the stories of Mavis' and Daphne's past misdeeds, leaving Clarissa unhappy and shocked. At half term, Gwen sees Clarissa meet a dowdy woman who arrives in a battered old car and is derisive at what she assumes to be Clarissa's mother.

Later in the term, when it is proposed that the North Tower Fourth Form girls should take a break from their hard work with a midnight feast, Darrell is at first reluctant, but relents. Things go wrong however, when girls from West Tower and from the First Form join the midnight feast, breaking strict rules, and the event ends in disarray when Miss Potts is heard approaching. When Darrell soon afterwards learns that June plans to own up to attending the feast to spite her cousin, she loses her temper and shakes June violently. Miss Potts walks in, shocked, and Darrell is forced to resign as Head Girl. As June gloats at her success, Felicity sees her in her true colours and their friendship comes to an abrupt end.

Gwendoline discovers that Clarissa suffers from a heart murmur, which has excused her from much of her schooling. Knowing that she will not perform well in the exam, Gwen devises a plan whereby she too has a weak heart and, with the help of a credulous Mam'zelle, persuades her mother to remove her from school. But after seeing a doctor and a London specialist, her father learns the truth and, furious at Gwen's cruel deception, has scornful and bitter words with her. A chastened Gwen returns to school and is made to sit the examination.

Alicia's quick mind is the envy of the other girls, but as the School Certificate exams begin, she notices that she cannot think clearly and is struggling with the questions. During the last paper, she faints, and is later diagnosed with measles. She feels shame at her past behaviour of sneering and sarcasm at others who are slower than her.

A curious series of events, known as the Connie Affair, begins to happen. Various items belonging to Connie go missing, such as schoolbooks and a page torn from her essay. Her riding whip is deliberately slashed. Remembering similar behaviour in the past, the girls briefly suspect Gwendoline, before Darrell suddenly realises who the culprit must be. She confronts Ruth, Connie's twin sister, and Ruth confesses, explaining that Connie was struggling academically and had pressured Ruth to fail her School Certificate exam deliberately so that the two would not be separated. Ruth tells Darrell that she loves her sister, but hates her too. Disturbed, Darrell recounts the story to an astonished Miss Williams, who reveals that Ruth had not performed as badly in the exam as she had feared. Impressed by Darrell's actions, Miss Williams reinstates her as Head Girl.

On the last day of term, Gwen is amazed to see Clarissa's parents arrive in a magnificent gleaming Bentley. Clarissa explains that the woman Gwen saw at half term was her governess, not her mother. Meanwhile, Clarissa has discovered a shared love of horses with Bill and her friendship with Gwen is at an end.

In ''Iron Lung'', you play as a convict living decades after the "Quiet Rapture", an unexplained event in which "every known star and habitable planet vanished". With supplies dwindling and infrastructure crumbling, survivors search for any resource in a "universe of barren moons, lit by the ghostlight of vanished stars". One such moon possesses a strange anomaly, its surface is covered in an ocean of blood. The character, a convict charged with an unknown crime, is tasked with descending into this sea in search of resources using only a makeshift submarine trying to navigate using only the tools inside the SM13, nicknamed "The Iron Lung". If the player is able to complete this task, the unnamed forces behind their sentencing promise to release them (although this is impossible in gameplay, and never occurs).

There are no windows in the submarine due to pressure-related issues in the sea of blood. The only time you can see directly out of SM13 is at the very beginning of the game when the pressure hatch is welded shut. Due to the lack of windows, the player's only method of visibility is via a camera installed outside of the submarine, which is used to capture ten various "points of interest" throughout the sea on AT-5.

The game begins with your descent into the sea of blood, with the pressure hatch being welded shut, permanently blocking the player's field of view outside of the submarine. As an unnamed narrator talks to you on your descent, he suddenly disconnects, never to talk to you again. The player may soon discover a note at this point, one which reads "This is not an expedition. This is an execution", presumably left by a previous convict aboard SM13.

SM13 is also equipped with a fire extinguisher, one that comes in handy when a fire sporadically breaks out on the submarine. The player must work to extinguish this fire as fast as possible, or else one of the game's three "lose states" will engage, and the playthrough will end.

At the very end of the playthrough, an incredibly large fish of unknown origin (previously seen in a picture taken at a "point of interest") will burst through the submarine's hull and charge towards the player. This jump scare immediately cuts into a title card, which ends the playthrough.

After helping the TVA deal with Kang the Conqueror's multiple variants, Reed Richards overhears the TVA talk about Reckoning War.

Main plot

The Prosilicans are revealed by Uatu to be the enemy who supplied the Coati during Empyre. A billion years ago, the Prosilicans were one of the first alien races the Watchers (also known as Luminous) provided technical support. As their civilization continually thrive due to their lack of ethics, the Prosilicans got greedy and sought to use the Watcher's technology to take over planets creating nuclear weapons and warfare, which caused an all-out war throughout the entire cosmos. The Luminous manage to defeat the Prosilicans but only by destroying nine-tenth of the universe resulting from the toxic fallout of the First War. After their defeat, the Prosilicans were decimated after the Watchers sealed them away from the universe following the creation of an isolated toxic wasteland known as the Barrens. As the Luminous made their vow of non-interference and changed their titles as Watchers, the remaining Prosilicans survive and establish the group to spread chaos throughout the galaxy renaming themselves "The Reckoning" as they swore revenge against the Watchers who imprisoned them. In the present day, the Reckonings are now supplying a group of aliens called the Badoon to invade Earth. Uatu sends out a call for the other Watchers. However, the Reckoning instructs the Badoon to blow up Uatu's headquarters on the Moon. Spider-Man, Avengers, X-Men, Champions, and Fantastic Four help save civilians from the moon rubble falling to Earth while dealing with the Badoon invasion. She-Hulk sees the TVA agents, Justice Peace and Justice Love, observing the chaos before disappearing while Jack of Hearts got confused about someone she was talking to, and Silver Surfer, along with Griever At The End of All Things, discovers an agonized Eternity (the living embodiment of the Marvel Universe) who was on his deathbed poisoned by the catastrophic cosmic war the Prosilicans orchestrated. The Queen of Nevers (who is nursing Eternity) instructs Surfer to venture off and find a mysterious remedy to save Eternity from dying. The Fantastic Four meet up with Nick Fury, and Reed Richards accesses Uatu's mind to understand what is going on. Having manifested by Uatu's Cyclopedia Universum, Reed's mind began to deteriorate his emotions and personality into a cold and calculating person when he released the universe at stake. Meanwhile, Wrath, the Reckonings' leader, devises a plan to incite a cosmic war to take down Watchers as he sends the Badoons to Earth.

In Raj-Lek, Wrath slaughters all the Recluses, including the Watcher Qyre as he taunts him for his eternal silence and non-interference while Reed Richards broadcasts a message to all the heroes on Earth to help them fight this invasion and contact Silver Surfer. After gazing at Eternity, Surfer informs Reed and the team that the Prosilicans gave Watcher-level technology to lesser-known Warlike conquerors causing multiple invasions and chaos throughout the cosmos: Badoons invading Earth, Morani assaulting Shi'ar Empire, Mekkans laying waste to Kree-Skrull Alliance, and Annihilation Wave attacking planet Spyre (home of the cosmic ray hosts known as the Unparalleled). With Johnny Storm flying off to help Spyricans, Jack Harts volunteering for assistance, Susan Storm disappearing out of sight, and Nick Fury teleporting to Watchers' Homebase of Planet T-37X, Reed Richards tells everyone to go help out the Watcher fight off the Prosilicans as best as they could. Meanwhile, Doctor Doom arrives at Camp Hammond to retrieve a powerful weapon that can help him provide live bait.

At Watchers' home base, Uatu arrives after surviving the explosion and tried to convince other Watchers to take down the Prosilicans from rising again, however, he was imprisoned by his father, Ikor. Reed, Thing, She-hulk, and Jack of Hearts arrive in Shi'ar space to protect the M'kraan Crystal but they were too late when they discover the army of Morani under the leadership of Rapture and Reject of the Reckoning invertedly defeated the Imperial Guards. Thing recognizes her from his future vision that she is the one who might kill him as he pleads to Reed and Reed tells Thing that him accessing Uatu's mind will cause him to die in three days. During the battle, Rapture gravely injured the Thing as she takes the crystal along with Reject, and She-Hulk realizes why this is her fault after learning where they are heading. Silver Surfer and Thor meet up in Asgard along with other former heralds as they fuse Destroyer and Galactus together into a single sentient being known as Destruction. Using the Ultimate Nullifier as conduct, the Silver Surfer lures Destruction to confront the Reckoning as he departs Asgard to save Eternity. Johnny Storm arrives on planet Spyre and successfully defeats Annihilus by taking his control rod and his ships while sparing him. Storm learned that Sky and Citadel are soulmates now and acknowledged Citadel as her hero. So, he ask Unparalleled for his help and they all agreed.

The Badoons led by Ruin of the Reckoning attack and storm the Baxter Building, in which Reed received contact from Valeria and instruct her to initiate Protocol: Zero. After Reed Richards and Jack heal The Thing, he confesses to Thing that Reed's children (Franklin Richards, Valeria Richards), Alicia Masters, and their children (N'kalla and Jo-Venn) self-destructed the building to help stall the Proscilians. Arriving at Raj-Lek, She-Hulk reveals to Jack Of Hearts that she was a judge siding with a group of aliens called the Recluses to hide their privacy from The Watchers by removing Qyre's mouth to silence him resulting in Raj-Lek's destruction.

She-Hulk and Jack off Hearts encounter Wrath but are quickly defeated. Enraged by Reed's confession, Ben nearly beats Reed to death until Reed shows the video of Grimm's family alive. As Ben is tearfully relieved, Reed explains that he never caused their kids to self-destruct and only did a decoy to make sure the Thing was not distracted as Reed notices that Ben is often unfocused when fighting the enemy. Wraith sets up a trap leaving Reed and Thing stranded within the Barrens with She-Hulk and Jack of Hearts. Doctor Doom uses the artifact to summon a mysterious being to take down the Proscilians. Johnny and the Unparalleled arrive at Anelle-vell, capital of the Kree-Skrull Empire, to provide aid for Wiccan and Emperor Hulking along with the Guardians of the Galaxy and Starjammers to fend off against the Mekkan army.

From the Baxter Building, it is revealed that Franklin, Valeria, Alicia, N'kalla, and Jo-Venn were unharmed and The Protocol: Zero is meant as a failsafe to sabotage the Forever gate preventing Ruin from gaining access to it. Ruin reveals to them that the Prosicilans' plan is not to destroy the universe but to gain control of three existing Nexuses of Reality, including the M'kraan crystal. As Ruin departs with the remaining Badoon, Franklin and Valeria follow him right before the Forever Gate permanently shuts down much to Alicia's concerns. On planet Earth, the alien warrior known as Cormorant arrives to retrieve his armor under the instruction of his master, Helmsman. Along the way to locating those missing parts, he overpowers the Great Lakes Avengers, Gauntlet, and Southpaw as he brutally strips their gauntlets and Grasshopper's chausses before his encounter with Doctor Doom. While confronting Cormorant in Everglades, Doctor Doom realizes that the Tactigon, the weapon he stole from Camp Hammond, was the Watcher-Level technology Helmsman sought to retrieve and the Cormorant was a soldier of the First War much to Helmsman's underestimation of Doom's intelligence. Doom persuades Cormorant to aid him as his ally to fight against the Reckoning as he summons the Helmsman and kills him in exchange for his freedom, and Cormorant accepts his offer with respect.

Johnny Storm gathers everyone from across the universe, including Ego, to unite against the Reckoning who orchestrated the war against them. After reuniting with She-Hulk and Jack of Hearts in the Barrens, Reed clarifies to Ben that there is no way out of the Barrens even though he has Watchers' knowledge, the Watchers cannot teleport them from here. Now fully armed with M'krann crystal shards for his armor, Wraith and his army arrive at the Watchers' home base to initiate the attack after killing the Watcher guard while Ikor (who is aware of the Prosilicans' invasion) refuses to delay the Cyclopedia Universum and sends Emnu to Dar-Kenda to check on "The Apex on All Reality". As Fury attempts to free Uatu from torture, the new vision appears and displayed a shocking truth: After alternate Reed killed Galactus, the Zero Energy which Galactus sustains began to grow unstable resulting in Earth's catastrophic disaster as well as the entire universe. Uatu is finally confirmed that his interference invertedly saves everyones' lives and Ikor claims of non-interference are entirely false. Emnu arrives and attacks them until he was stunned by Invisible Woman. Susan revealed that she's been following Fury this whole time as well as spying on the Watchers. During her mission, she overheard Ikor instructions and follows Emnu to "The Apex". Uatu explains to them that "The Apex of All Reality" is a gateway to multiple possibilities which the Watchers observed any What If worlds they can imagine. Uatu also revealed that the Watchers were originating from Planet Lumina and Planet T-39X is "Apex's" Homeworld. After their home planet Lumina was destroyed by the First War and their encounter with "The Apex", the Watcher settled on T-37X as their new home and decide to safeguard it from outside threats. Susan deduces that Reed and Ikor both foresaw the Reckoning's plan on taking control of "The Apex", which they were trying to prevent.

Uatu grew suspicious about the Watcher's secrecy as he look into Emnu's mind and was shocked to learn that Emnu is responsible for obliterating nine-tenth of the universe. It is revealed that Emnu created the Ultimate Nullifier, which he used to help eradicate the Prosilicans and ended the First War. Uatu confirmed that the Watchers were responsible for the destruction, which was also the main cause of their vow of non-inference. In outer space, the Surfer receives warning from the Never-Queen, the Griever, and the Eternity about the Reckoning's arrival for The Apex as he outpaces Destruction to Watchers' homeworld for stalling the Reckoning while leaving his cosmic trace behind. Valeria hijacked the Forever Gate and set up a trap for Ruins and his soldiers in the Thought Space, a dimension where a person's every thought manifested into a reality, allowing Franklin to summon his reality-warping powers to subdue them. Meanwhile, in the Barrens, the side-effect of Cyclopedia Universum causes Reed's brain to begin to expand transforming him into a Watcher-like being which allows him to bestow the Watchers' power and increased intelligence learning that he has less than ten hours from dying. This side effect allows Reed to rebuild the Forever Gate and requires Zero Energy to activate it, which Jack-Of-Hearts have the power to summon Zero energy. As Reed and Ben depart, She-Hulk opposes this but Jack, however, chooses to remain stranded within the Barrens as he blasts her to the Forever Gate. In Planet T-37x, the Reckoning encounters the Watcher as Wraith tosses the shard releasing the Barrens' toxic gas to them as a reminder of his people's suffering.

While arriving on Planet T-37X, The Surfer reunites with Reed, Thing, and She-Hulk along with Sue Storm, Fury, and Uatu to help the Watchers as Reed confesses to the team that he is dying from Watcher's knowledge and kept his secret from them. Uatu understood this as he tries to reconnect with his people by revealing the truth of Emnu's action and Watchers' responsibilities while Fury stays to protect him. Doom and Commorant arrived in time to confront the Reckoning, in which Commorant tore Reject apart, Rapture disarmed Doom, and Wraith subdue Commorant by reprogramming his armor.

As the team tried to prevent Wraith from reaching "The Apex", Reed sensed the Destruction's arrival preparing the destroy the planet. Johnny Storm and the galactic alliances arrive on time to stall Destruction allowing Johnny to rejoin his team. However, Wraith overwhelms them while Reed made his confession to Sue about his realization and accepting his fate. After defeating Rapture, The Thing manages to recover the Ultimate Nullifier and send it to Reed before passing out. As Wraith approaches "The Apex Of All Reality" to reclaim it, Reed Richards sacrifices himself by activating the Ultimate Nullifier which erases Wraith from existence.

As the Unparalleled evacuates the Watchers to Ego from Planet's destruction and heralds occupying Destruction, Fury chooses to stay behind on protecting Uatu where he overwhelmingly absorbs all the toxic gas and the Cyclopedia Universum knowledge as they fell into ''The Apex''. Despite his sacrifice, Reed Richards is miraculously cured reverting to his former self because of the Ultimate Nullifier which neutralized most of the Watcher's energy from him. Reed deduces that the Ultimate Nullifier only works on Watchers and Doom claims that it was a logical outcome. With Wraith nullified, the M'Krann Crystal shards becomes unstable and began their self-destruction along with the planet. Human Torch and Silver Surfer carry the shards to Destruction while Invisible Woman activates her force field to help the team escape the Planet's destruction.

Uatu teleports them to the very edge of existence known as the Great Barriers where they find the remnants of the First War covered by the Barren. Uatu erases all the toxic Barrens and invertedly recovers the Nine-tenths of Universes renaming it ''The Borderlands'', which he described as the Canvas of Infinite Possibility. Uatu's action allows Jack Of Hearts to reunite with She-Hulk right while the TVA agents arrive to ensure Galactus' resurrection. With Galactus now reborn from his fusion with Destroyer, Galactus felt a hunger for knowledge and asks Silver Surfer's aid, and Surfer addressed Galactus as his companion while escorting him to the Borderlands for new discoveries. When their tasks complete and the universe saved, Uatu sends everyone home to restore the damages the Prosilicans have done while the Fantastic Four gone in separate ways: Johnny chooses to stay with the Unparalleled for the cure, Ben wishes to see his family from his departure, Reed and Susan return to the Forever Gate to check with their kids, and Doom makes his farewell departure with the Cormorant.

Uatu restores the M'Krann Crystal with Emnu, Ruins, and Rapture encased inside it which the Cormorant was welcomed by the Shi'ar Imperial Guards and decides to safeguard the crystal. Reed and Susan check with Valeria and Franklin and learned that they were inside the Thought Space. Valeria used her imagination to create the new Forever Gate. However, Franklin wanted to stay here for his cosmic power. Reed and Susan convinced Franklin they loved him as their son and wouldn't want anything else more than his powers and Franklin join them for a reunion. After learning about Zero Energy containment, the Richards family decides to deactivate the gate believing that it is too dangerous to leave it open. Meanwhile on the rooftop of the Baxter building, Ben reunites with his family while meeting up with the Avengers following Baboons' defeat. The Grimms were shockingly surprised to see Uatu rebuilding the Earth's moon. With his home base restored, Uatu rebuilds a new Watchtower for Fury and entrusted him to secure the Ultimate Nullifier as the Unseen and humanity's shield. Meanwhile on Latvaria, Doctor Doom secretly plans to build his own Forever Gate after scanning all the data recorded from his armor.

While Uatu was imprisoned in Dar-kenda (Watcher's Prison), Ikor takes Uatu to "The Seat Of All Knowledge" for interrogation.

In this alternate universe, Silver Surfer arrives on Earth and sends the message allowing Galactus to invade Earth without Uatu's warning of the upcoming threat, and the Fantastic Four were overwhelmed by Galactus's power without Uatu providing information, preparation, and support, which they did not learn about the Ultimate Nullifier that can stop Galactus from destroying Earth. Their battle with Galactus and the Surfer left Susan suffering from blindness, Reed's body melting, Johnny burning, and Ben undergoing multiple cracks and scars. Instead of using the Ultimate Nullifier, Reed built a device, known as the Ultimate Nullification ray, that helps kill Galactus without knowing the consequence of Galactus's presence and Surfer departs in relief without acknowledging the lessons of humanity, leaving the alternate version of Uatu's satisfaction of non-intervention. Realizing the vision Uatu saw is confoundedly false, he pleads with Ikor to release him. However, Ikor ignores him as he brainwashed him and falsely claimed that Uatu's intervention was a mistake, forcing Uatu to submit in despair and regret. After hearing the conversation about the Great Gathering and Ikor's tolerance of Uatu's warning, Fury decides to free Uatu without any Watchers detecting his presence.

''Past All Dishonor'' is set in US states of California and Nevada in 1863 at the height of the American Civil War. College educated Marylander Roger Duval is a pro-secessionist loyalist and spy deployed to Sacramento to collect routine intelligence on Union military mobilizations. An attractive youth, 21-years-of-age and over six feet tall, his clandestine assignment restricts him to his rented cabin on the banks of the Sacramento River. To amuse himself, he rows his skiff to a commercial paddle boat and dives off its deck for a swim. He is near to drowning when an attractive young woman, the 23-year-old Molina Crockett, a fellow Southron from Louisiana, rescues him and he quickly recovers in her stateroom. When Molina is accused by a female passenger of stealing a gold-filled purse, Duval spirits her away in his dingy. Now a fugitive from the law, Molina stays with Duval in his riverside cabin, spending several days making love with him. In his infatuation, Duval fails to grasp Molina's avocation: she is an inveterate and unrepentant prostitute. Molina is exasperated by the obtuseness of her young lover, and abandons him for the high-class gambling casinos to ply her trade among wealthy clientele. Duval pursues her and in a fit of jealousy, violently assaults one of her regulars johns. Molina, gratified, remarks: “I just love it that you hit him for me”. Duval persists in his naivete and proposes marriage to Morina. In despair, she flees from him to the silver mining center of the Comstock Lode at Silver City, Nevada.

Duval desperately seeks Molina in Sacramento, and there encounters a troupe of Mexican musical performers. The leader of the group “Paddy” (Padillo) assures Duval that Molina has gone to the boomtown of Silver City. Duval deserts his post in Sacramento to pursue her. Soon after arriving in Silver City, Duval spots Molina as she enters an exclusive pro-Confederate bordello operated by Madame Biloxi. Though he realizes now that she is “a thief and a whore”, he declares his love for her, and promises $1000 to her if she will marry him as a “business” proposition. Molina strips naked for the customers and performs a lewd sex act to repulse him, delighting the crowd. Duval flees from the brothel in shame.

Duval encounters Paddy again in Silver City. The musician is organizing Mexican mine laborers. When Paddy seeks to enlist Duval to help organize Anglo labor for a strike against the mining companies, he demurs at first. Realizing that a massive strike would impede the transfer of millions of dollars of gold and silver to the Union war effort, he finds employment in the silver mines and begins organizing workers. Operating underground, Duval discovers the horrifying conditions that the workers endure. He becomes committed a “ringleader” for the unionization of the mines. At a strike meeting, the foreman named Trapp assaults the laborers with a[tamping iron and they retreat back to work. Abandoned by his comrades, Duval beats Trapp senseless with his fists. Mine supervisor Williams arrives and offers Duval the job of foreman, to replace the brutal Trapp. Disaffected from his co-workers, and with the opportunity to quickly earn the $1000 to procure Molina as his bride, he accepts. Betraying the workers to satisfy his selfish desires, Duval barely escapes several attempts on his life by his former allies.

Flush with his earnings, Duval sees Molina gambling with the wealthy George Brewer, now his courtesan. Duval risks his savings at the roulette wheel and wins more than $1000. He confronts Molina with her verbal contract to marriage as a legally binding agreement. She rejects him and departs. As Duval leaves the casino, he is assaulted by a gang of unionist miners who beat him severely in the street. His $1000 in coin are scattered and stolen. Duval purchases a pistol for self-defense and practices with it until he is a highly proficient marksman. A mine shaft cable is cut and kills a number of mine employees, sabotaging the operation of a rich silver lode. Duval, responsible for the action, blackmails the mine owner Hale, and is appointed supervisor. Duval uses his authority to fire his former union comrades and replaces them with compliant workers.

Duval survives another assassination attempt, but his hand is impaled in the attack. When gangrene sets in, the mine company surgeon orders the arm amputated. Duval violently resists the procedure, preferring to die. Suddenly, Molina appears and demands to treat Duval's wound. The doctor relents and she prepares a conjure salve made from rattlesnake venom. She saves his arm and they have a rapprochement. With his shooting arm restored, Duval becomes a hired gunslinger at one of Silver City's big casinos. When he proves his worth in wounding a drunken gunman, Duval becomes a local celebrity.

Duval discovers that the acquisitive Morina and the millionaire Brewer are preparing to marry. She informs Duval that she measures a man's love by the number of expensive gifts he bestows on her. Duval is dismayed at the source of her self-esteem. Alerted to a conspiracy to murder the pro-labor union George Brewer by Hale's hired gunman, Duval prepares to meet them. He observes that Brewer and his associates have entered the establishment and begin plying the customers with champagne. The assassins filter into the casino and open fire. Duval takes advantage of the melee to gun down his arch-rival Brewer, as well the hired intruders. Duval is taken into custody, suspected of murdering Brewer, but he denies responsibility. Though he is exonerated by the grand jury, Brewer's brother, Raymond, publicly alludes to the rivalry over Molina. Madame Biloxi and Brewer's allies arrange to revenge the homicide. Duval is a marked man. To escape from Silver City, Duval enlists in the United States Army. When Molina returns from San Francisco and learns that Duval has killed Brewer, she pledges her love to him and renounces her vocation. Duval deserts the Union army and retreats with Molina to an abandoned mine. They discover that a derrick shaft contains a rich vein of silver.

In order to acquire funds necessary to purchase the mine, they make elaborate plans to hijack a train carrying a gold shipment to San Francisco and then to escape with the loot by horseback to Mexico. The hijacking goes awry when loyal train employees discover the plot and a gun battle ensues. Duval kills three men and he and Molina make a desperate escape with gold and valuable jewelry in their saddlebags just ahead of a mounted posse. Duval's homicidal rampage excites Molina: she praises him for providing them with “one more night” of love-making. As they flee, she exults in adorning herself in the stolen booty.

Alarmed when their pursuers close in on the couple, Duval mistakes Morina for a lawman and guns her down. He awaits his capture and ultimate demise.

Archer is summoned to the Meadow Farms mansion of Californian oil millionaire, Homer Wycherly, just returned from an ocean cruise. Asked to locate Wycherly's daughter Phoebe, missing since she saw Homer off two months before, Archer begins his search at Boulder Beach College, where she had formerly studied. There he interviews Phoebe's college roommate, and her boyfriend Bobby Doncaster. He then heads for San Francisco to interview staff of the docked cruise liner and learns that Phoebe was seen leaving the ship before it sailed with her divorced mother Catherine.

Archer's enquiries take him down the San Francisco Peninsula to a villa in Atherton once owned by Mrs Wycherley, and then to the home of Wycherly's brother-in-law, Carl Trevor, who manages the business for him. Archer had already run foul of crooked estate dealer Ben Merriman, whom he later discovers murdered in the Atherton villa. Another lead takes him to Sacramento, where he manages to interview Catherine Wycherly before he is knocked out by an assailant who drives away with Catherine.

Carl Trevor later confesses to Archer that Phoebe is actually his own child and that he had murdered Catherine when she wanted to confess the fact to her husband. He had also killed the blackmailers before they turned on him. In order to protect the vulnerable Phoebe from learning the truth of her parentage, Archer allows Trevor to commit suicide in return for a written confession to the murders.

As an adult, Touraine and her company of conscripts (called Sands) are ordered to return to El-Wast, the Qazāli capital. They accompany Princess Luca, heir to the throne. Luca's uncle Nicholas currently holds power. She hopes that performing well in managing Qazāl will allow her to claim the throne in her own right.

As the princess arrives in the city, Touraine saves her from an assassination attempt. Touraine is falsely accused of murdering a Balladairan guard, but Luca rescues her. Dismissed from the military, Touraine becomes Luca's servant. On Luca's orders, Touraine secretly negotiates for peace with the Qazāli rebels, while developing romantic feelings for Luca. Luca grows interested in Shālan religion and magic, knowing that openly supporting these concepts would not be accepted in Balladaire. Touraine discovers that her birth mother, Jaghotai, is a leader of the rebellion. Other rebellion leaders include Djasha, an apostate priest who has lost her magic, and her wife Aranen, a healer.

Luca agrees to give the rebels guns as part of negotiations. Worried that the Sands will bear the brunt of any violence, Touraine betrays Luca to the Balladairan military leader, General Cantic. This leads to a violent uprising and a collapse of negotiations. Touraine joins the rebellion; Luca believes she has been killed in the chaos. The rebels ally with a desert tribe known as the Many-Legged, who use animal magic. Together, they create famine and plague, hoping to drive the Balladairans from their city. Tensions in El-Wast rise due to food shortages and violence. Almost a quarter of the Balladairan forces die from plague.

The rebels invade the Balladairan Quartier, hoping to free the Sands. Touraine and the rebels confront General Cantic. Djasha is killed, Touraine is captured, and the rebels are defeated. As Touraine is about to be executed by firing squad, she gains access to Shālan magic. Aranen escapes and kills Cantic. Luca agrees to leave Qazāl in exchange for the Balladairans’ safety. Touraine stays to help rebuild El-Wast.
