text: Port and starboard are nautical and aeronautical terms for left and right, respectively. Port is the left-hand side of a vessel or aircraft, facing forward. Starboard is the right-hand side, facing forward. Since port and starboard never change, they are unambiguous references that are not relative to the observer.[2][3]

text: The term starboard derives from the Old English steorbord, meaning the side on which the ship is steered. Before ships had rudders on their centrelines, they were steered with a steering oar at the stern of the ship and, because more people are right-handed, on the right-hand side of it.[citation needed] The term is cognate with the Old Norse stýri (rudder) and borð (side of a ship).[citation needed] Since the steering oar was on the right side of the boat, it would tie up at wharf on the other side. Hence the left side was called port.[citation needed]

text: Formerly, larboard was used instead of port. This is from Middle-English ladebord and the term lade is related to the modern load.[3] Larboard sounds similar to starboard and in 1844 the Royal Navy ordered that port be used instead.[4][non-primary source needed] The United States Navy followed suit in 1846.[5] Larboard continued to be used well into the 1850s by whalers.[citation needed] In Old English the word was bæcbord, of which cognates are used in other European languages, for example as the present Dutch bakboord, the German backbord and the French term bâbord (derived in turn from Middle Dutch).[citation needed]

text: The navigational treaty convention, the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea—for instance, as appears in the Merchant Shipping (Distress Signals and Prevention of Collisions) Regulations of 1996 (and comparable US documents from the US Coast Guard),[6]—sets forth the rights of way for maritime vessels, whether by sail or powered, and whether a vessel is overtaking, approaching head-on, or crossing.[6]:11-12 To set forth these navigational rules, the terms starboard and port are absolutely essential, and to aid in in situ decision-making, the two sides of each vessel are marked, dusk to dawn, by navigation lights, the vessel's starboard side by green and its port side by red.[6]:15 Aircraft are lit in the same way.

text: Casting[edit]

text: In October 2011, it was announced that actress Melissa Claire Egan, previously known for her role as Annie Lavery on ABC's All My Children, had been cast in a contract role named Chelsea.[1][2][3][4] Egan's character was to be "a mysterious woman named Chelsea who is connected to Billy’s arrest in Myanmar".[2] On the topic of Egan working with her former co-star Billy Miller, the actress said: "We are buds from way back, of course, from our days on All My Children, and so we have been hanging out even before I came to Y&R. Now being here with Billy I get to see him double."[5] Egan debuted on November 11, 2011.[6]

text: Development[edit]

text: Characterization[edit]

text: Chelsea was originally portrayed as a con artist and bad girl. Egan said that she "knew some people hate her",[7] and she finds Chelsea "fun because she's a con artist".[7] Catherine Bach was cast in the role of Anita Lawson, Chelsea's mother, to "play a vital role in Egan's character storyline".[8][9][10][11] Egan said that "you see where Chelsea gets it from because her mom is a con artist, but way worse than Chelsea", and that "Chelsea has more of a conscience than Anita".[7] Jeffrey Bardwell (Ted Shackelford) was then revealed as Chelsea's father, after which Egan said "it came out of nowhere", though "it’s great to have so many people to be intertwined with, if you will."[5] On the topic of her character's personality, the actress said: "The viewers met Chelsea as a schemester and pregnant with child. She did not have any friends. And now, you will be able to see her personality. We can see her finally in some hot clothes, maybe a skirt, and high heels. She is no longer the beached whale at the bar."[5] In an interview in 2013, Egan stated that she thought Chelsea had "certainly evolved a lot", saying: "Well she’s certainly evolved a lot; I mean she’s done a complete 180 as far as her intentions are. When I started, like you said, she was kind of a con artist, and manipulative, and doing things for money, and you know – completely, kind of not a very good person. But since then, she’s fallen in love, she’s gotten married – she’s gotten divorced! –and experienced life, its highs and lows and ups and downs and learned about family she didn’t know she had. She’s gotten closer to certain members of her family and gained friendships. I don’t think Chelsea was someone who had girlfriends before when she was on the road and cons don’t really have good relationships. So she’s just a better person; a better human being. She’s kind of lived life a little bit and definitely become more of a genuine, well-rounded person."[12]

text: Relationships[edit]

text: After giving birth to Billy's baby, Chelsea's next love interest was Adam Newman (Michael Muhney). On the topic of working with Muhney, Egan said: "I love working with Michael. I heard about him because my mom had watched Y&R before I joined. So when I told her my character was going to be mixed-up with Adam, she went, 'Oh! He is so good, but so bad'".[5] Egan noted that her mother "told me he was a great character, but an evil one, so I was really excited. And now knowing Michael, it has been so much fun."[5] She said that "everyone seems to think we have good on-screen chemistry" and that "it’s an interesting energy between Chelsea and Adam being the "bad guys" in town."[5] Egan said that through Chelsea having Billy's baby and giving him up, Adam was her biggest support.[5] The pair eventually married.

text: However, trouble arose following Chelsea's miscarriage of their child and Adam's ex-wife Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) re-entering his life. Muhney was glad that Chelsea had a miscarriage because he did not want to work with young children, saying they have "strange hours".[13] Adam felt responsible for Sharon being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, because of all of the hurt he caused her in their relationship. He even tried to cover up Sharon burning down Victor Newman's (Eric Braeden) home, working under the law to do so. Chelsea became outraged at him, creating cracks in their marriage; she warned a fragile Sharon to stay away.[14] While telling Chelsea he wasn't attracted to Sharon, Adam later kisses her, which is witnessed by Chelsea.[15][16] Egan stated it was "devastating" to Chelsea to realize that Adam was still in love with Sharon. After the couple divorced due to Adam's inability to abandon his corporate life, Egan stated that she was sad to see Chelsea and Adam breaking up, but was excited for the material as an actress.[12] When asked if Chelsea or Sharon was Adam's "true love", Muhney stated: "It’s this back and forth. And if anyone has noticed since I have been on the show, I like to play as much ambiguity in scenes as possible, because then you keep the audience guessing."[17]

text: After Chelsea's separation from Adam, she discovered she was pregnant with his child, but was hesitant to tell him. Of the storyline, Egan said: "Chelsea’s just really scared that she’s seen this other side that she’s been hearing so much about – the manipulative, Newman side to Adam, and she’s scared he’ll take the baby."[12] After sharing a one-night stand with Dylan McAvoy (Steve Burton), Chelsea decides to pass Adam's child off as Dylan's, and the two are later married. Egan described the character's decision to keep the child's paternity a secret as a "ticking time bomb". Burton stated that Dylan is "not the sharpest tool in the shed", as he was believing what Chelsea was telling him. When asked about the child, Burton said: "This kid is everything to him, so once we figure out whose it is, if it’s not his, it’s not going to be a good situation for anybody." When asked if Dylan could forgive Chelsea, Burton added: "That’s a tough one. I don’t know what kind of mental state this is going to put Dylan in, to even think about that."[18]

text: Rivalries and friendships[edit]

text: Chelsea is known for her rivalry with Sharon Newman, when Sharon began re-entering Adam's life after she had a mental breakdown and burned down the Newman ranch.[19] Adam had an arsonist set fire to another building to avoid Sharon being implicated for the fire at the ranch. The arsonist burned down a restaurant owned by Chelsea's father. Chelsea became insecure and bitter towards Sharon, and was enraged at Adam for breaking the law to save Sharon.[14] Chelsea warned Sharon to stay away from Adam; Sharon told her that Adam would never love Chelsea the way he loves her. Luke Kerr of Zap2It said that Chelsea was "out of her league" and the storyline was "fun".[20]

text: Storylines[edit]

text: When Billy Abbott (Billy Miller) was in Myanmar and away from his family, he met Chelsea at a beach bar where she was working. After returning home after being arrested there, Billy enlists the help of Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard) to go to Myanmar and find Chelsea to help prove his innocence. Cane talks to a woman at a bar, and unbeknownst to him, the woman was actually Chelsea but she disappears before she can talk to him. Two months later, Chelsea shows up on Billy and his wife Victoria’s (Amelia Heinle) doorstep looking for "Liam", an alias Billy used. She reveals she is pregnant with his son after he forced himself onto her while intoxicated, and a DNA test proves that Billy is actually the father. Afterward, Billy secretly records Chelsea admitting that their one night stand was consensual and that her rape claim was a con she used against tourists. After Chelsea moves in with Billy and Victoria, Chelsea’s mother Anita Lawson (Catherine Bach) arrives in town, creating conflict. Billy and Victoria later learn that Victoria’s father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) brought both Chelsea and Anita to town to thwart his daughter’s marriage.

text: Chelsea later discovers that Jeffrey Bardwell (Ted Shackelford) is her father and confronts him; a paternity test is conducted proving Chelsea’s accusations, but Jeffrey attempts to make everyone believe that his deceased twin brother William was her father. Chelsea then befriends Adam Newman (Michael Muhney), and although he tells her he isn’t good enough for her, she persists and they form a friendship, even after Victoria’s warnings. After Victoria finds Chelsea having had dinner with Adam, she storms off and falls into a frozen lake; Adam rescues her and ends up delivering her baby. After the birth of Johnny, Chelsea terminates all of her parental rights and allows Billy to raise the child with Victoria. After declining Victor’s offer of $10 million to leave town, she moves in with Adam and develops their relationship; he helps study for exams to receive a high school diploma, and while Adam’s feelings for her are unmet, he proposes to her in the rain and she accepts. They decide to elope to Adam’s childhood home in Kansas (where Sharon unsuccessfully attempts to stop the wedding), and return home to join in a business venture with Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) and Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart), a website called TagNGrab. Chelsea then becomes pregnant and while leaving town on a trip, their car crashes with that of Summer Newman (Hunter King), causing Chelsea to miscarry her son, who she named Riley.

text: Adam then helps nurse his ex-wife, Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), back to health after feeling responsible for her bad mental state. Chelsea suspects that Adam still has feelings for her, and considers leaving him after witnessing them kiss. Adam then promises Chelsea they can move to Paris, but because of his inability to abandon his corporate life at Newman Enterprises, she leaves him and asks for a divorce. After their separation, Chelsea discovers she is pregnant with Adam’s child, and while attempting to tell him on several occasions, her new friend Chloe convinces her not to do so. Chelsea and Chloe later start a fashion business, which is picked up by Jabot Cosmetics. After sharing a one-night stand with Dylan McAvoy (Steve Burton), Chloe convinces Chelsea to pass the child off as Dylan’s, despite Adam’s suspicions. After Chelsea moves in with Dylan, he proposes and she accepts, and later has to pay off Jeffrey to keep his mouth shut about the child’s true paternity. After their wedding, Chelsea goes into labor and Dylan delivers her child, a son named Connor McAvoy. Soon after Connor's birth the truth about Adam being his father comes out after finding out he'll go blind from eye disease. Adam is furious with her and wanted to sue for full custody, but on the advice of Avery didn't. Adam forced Chelsea and Connor to move in with him, and while there, she gets served with divorce papers by Dylan.

text: Reception[edit]

"Egan imbues Chelsea with the perfect mix of vulnerability and spunk that makes her both linkable and sympathetic. You can't help but root for Chelsea in spite of the baby ruse, which is a testament to Egan's layered, committed performances."[21]

—Soap Opera Digest on Egan's portrayal (2013)

tag: div

text: Egan's portrayal of the role has garnered praise. Michael Fairman of On-Air On-Soaps wrote: "With so many stories yet to play out, the Y&R writers and producers are certainly ready to put it in the more than capable hands of Egan."[5] The character's romance with Adam has received significant fan attention (who refer to them as "Chadam") as well as a positive response from critics; the website Daytime Confidential placed Adam and Chelsea number three on their "Top 10 Soap Opera Couples of 2012" list. They wrote: "The Young and the Restless made a smart move in pairing sexy grifters Adam Newman (Michael Muhney) and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) in 2012. By building first a friendship, then a love affair for Chadam, Y&R managed to save Chelsea from becoming yet another boring, cookie cutter, lady psycho (Daisy, anyone?)"[22] Luke Kerr of Zap2it felt that Chelsea was "out of her league" when competing against Sharon for Adam's attention, and thought the storyline was "fun".[20] Kerr later wrote that of the possible pairing of Chelsea and Dylan: "I’m not sure what to think about the obvious Dylan and Chelsea chemistry test going on."[23] The character's romance with Dylan has received a negative response, criticized for being "boring"; Kerr wrote that their storyline was "everyone’s favorite storyline for curing insomnia".[24] Egan received Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Chelsea, in 2013 and 2014.[25][26][27]

A skeleton found in the cellar of a building being demolished prompts investigation from DCI Cassie Stuart and her colleague DI Sunny Khan into the murder of a young man that could potentially span back thousands of years. Discovery of what they believe to be a car key near the body not only dates it to within the last 65 years, but also leads them on a trail in the hope of identifying the victim. At the end of the trail is a diary belonging to Jimmy Sullivan, a young man missing since 1976 who appears to be the victim. The final pages of the diary contain several names and addresses; amongst them are Beth, Father Rob, Frankie C and Mr. Slater. Four seemingly unconnected people living very separate lives. It is now down to Cassie and Sunny to find out what happened to Jimmy and finally to get him home.

Once the body in the cellar has been identified as Jimmy Sullivan, the search for his murderer begins; Cassie and Sunny investigate, starting with identifying the names featured in Jimmy's diary. Cassie travels to Kenny to see Maureen, Jimmy's mother, to get a sense of who Jimmy was; she is met by a woman who is in fact relieved that she might finally find out what happened to her son 39 years after he went missing. 'Frankie C' is identified as Sir Phillip Cross, the government's recently appointed entrepreneurial tzar, who denies ever having met Jimmy. 'Beth' is identified as Lizzie Wilton, living in Croydon and married to Ray, a second-generation Jamaican man. Lizzie also denies knowing Jimmy but is clearly a very different woman from who she was in the 70s before her marriage. 'Father Rob' is Robert Greaves who at the time of Jimmy's death was working in the local church to Arlingham House. And 'Mr. Slater' is Eric Slater, a wheelchair user and a retired bookkeeper living with his wife Claire in Cambridgeshire.

The investigation into Jimmy's death continues. Cassie and Sunny pay a visit to Father Robert Greaves, who remembers Jimmy fondly, but is unable to help identify the mysterious 'Jo-Jo', the person who it appears gave Jimmy the diary. Cassie and Sunny also meet Eric Slater, a former bookkeeper to Arlingham House, who remembers Jimmy well.

As the investigation into the cold-case murder continues, the forensic team discovers that the marks on the victim's body are consistent with known gangland torture methods. With this in mind, Cassie and Sunny question Sir Phillip about his involvement with a prominent East End crime family 40 years ago. Did the businessman or any of the shady associates of his youth have anything to do with Jimmy's disappearance or murder? Meanwhile, Eric and Claire's anniversary gets under way. Ray returns home to find Lizzie gone, broken glass where a brick was thrown through a window, and a note with the word "Sorry" on it.

Following the revelation that a second victim may be buried at the bottom of the Slaters' garden, Cassie and Sunny gatecrash their 45th anniversary party and begin searching for a second body, and it's not long before they strike gold. Eric Slater is arrested, but denies all charges made against him. After some initial reluctance, Curtis agrees to help Ray go in search of Lizzie. Father Robert confesses that he was the one who stole money from the church charity fund, and that after his secret affair with JoJo, she became pregnant and he has been using the money to pay the way for his illegitimate child. Before the news breaks of Eric Slater's arrest, Sir Phillip Cross has already struck a deal with his son's Turkish contacts, and before he is able to change his mind, the witness who came forward with evidence against him is killed in a house fire, made to look like an accident caused when the man 'fell asleep smoking'. Evidence found in Eric Slater's home links him to the location of the last known whereabouts of the second victim, and following the revelation that Jimmy had been selling himself for sex as a way of repaying the debt he owed to the Fenwicks, Cassie and Sunny finally realise that the connection between both murders may be Eric Slater's hidden hatred for homosexuals.

As the investigation into David Walker's murder continues, the team try to decode a series of messages found on the victim's pager. One message appears to be an address in King's Cross, which is soon discovered to have been a brothel at the time of Walker's death. Cassie and Sunny interrogate Sara Mahmoud, who was known to have been working as a prostitute from the address at the time – but she denies even knowing Walker, and claims that she was on holiday in Italy at the time of the murder. A telephone number in the victim's diary leads Cassie and Sunny to Colin Osborne, who also denies ever having known Walker. Osborne, meanwhile, continues to feel the pressure from Tyler. Tessa Nixon's boss, Detective Superintendent Gill (Nathalie Armin), asks her to take restricted duties while the investigation takes its course, which she angrily refuses to do as she has not been named as a suspect in her husband's death. Cassie begins to suspect that her father, Martin, is hiding something from her when she discovers a train ticket in his pocket, and a series of unknown payments on her credit card.

The discovery that Walker was sexually abused during his time in primary education leads the team to suspect that the perpetrator, if still alive, would be in his early 80s. Sunny interviews Walker's best friend, James Gregory (Richard Hope), who claims that in the days leading up to his death, Walker confronted the abuser, who denied being involved in any such abuse. Cassie visits the address found on the back of Walker's business card, and interviews Marion's mother and sister, Joy and Elise, who claim at the time of Walker's death, Marion was the only one living at the house and could be the only person to have given out the address. Checks on Marion's criminal history reveal she was arrested in 1988 for assaulting a police officer during a protest march, and that she was living at an address with a known IRA conspirator. Meanwhile, Sara is forced to tell her husband, Hassan, about her past life, and Colin reveals that he had a mental breakdown and was sectioned just days before Walker disappeared.

Sara's life begins to fall apart when her son overhears details from her secret past, and inadvertently manages to tell all of his friends. Meanwhile, Cassie discovers that Colin was sacked from his City job in 1989 for reportedly sexually assaulting one of his female colleagues during an office party, a fact which leads her to believe that Colin was framed for the attack. Meanwhile, Marion is suspended from work after Zoe absconds from her parents' care. As the investigation into Walker's past continues, Sunny discovers that he was heavily into S&M, and sexually attacked at least one woman whom he slept with. Concerns that his private fantasies may have spilt over into his charity work are confirmed when Ellen Price, a resident at one of the care homes where Walker volunteered, comes forward to tell the police that Walker interfered with her and other children at the home. Tyler continues to blackmail Colin, leading Simon to make a drastic decision. Paul, Tessa's second husband, fears that Jason may have inherited his father's traits.

Sara's long lost father turns up out of the blue with some long-buried secrets about her past. Colin is shocked to discover that the rape allegation made against him was concocted by David Walker, who paid the supposed victim £5,000 to fake the story. Ellen Price revisits the location where Walker and his friends used to hold 'parties' where children were abused. Tessa's denial of David's activities is called into question when Ellen recalls David's wife having turned up at one of the parties, which forced a row in front of many of the guests. As Marion's home life continues to spiral, she tries to make things up with Zoe. Simon makes the heartbreaking decision to cease the adoption unless Colin can convince Tyler to back off. Sara's husband uncovers evidence which confirms she was in Naples at the time of the murder. With all of the possible suspects now carrying a solid alibi, Cassie and Sunny are stumped as to who the killer might be. Sunny tries to reveal his true feelings for Cassie.
126"Episode 6"Andy WilsonChris Lang9 February 2017 (2017-02-09)6.77
With each of the suspects having a motive, opportunity or connection to David Walker, Cassie and Sunny try to join the dots to discover who actually killed him 25 years earlier. Though Sara has provided reliable evidence that she was in Italy when the murder took place, Cassie suspects that it is too good – that it is something put together by someone who knew that one day they would need an alibi. The team wonder whether the case is part of a wider revenge plan. On that new line of investigation, the team find that Sara and Simon had been in the same psychiatric hospital at the same time, and could have met then. The team's notion is that each one killed the abuser of another, not their own abuser. While Sara denies every possibility put to her by Cassie, the scenes are cut with Sara's father telling an opposite scenario of Sara's life at age 13 to Sara's husband. After talking to Marion's sister and mother about the abuse suffered by Marion at the hands of her father, Cassie follows Marion to speak with her. She is in the back room of a pub, talking with Colin and Sara. In the next scene, Cassie then speaks with Colin alone, who tells her the details of the abuse in his childhood, at the hands of a friend of his parents. Cassie decides, and is supported by Sunny, that the three have suffered all their lives, all work in jobs of high value to society, there is no value in pursuing prison for them, and they have insufficient data for a solid court case, especially as one of the bodies was never found, and the other death is recorded as suicide. Each of the three, Colin, Sara and Marion, is shown telling the story of their past to their present spouse.

When workmen carrying out carriageway repairs on M1 uncover human remains in the central reservation, Cassie and the team investigate. Despite suspicions the remains could be archaeological, but forensic analysis reveals the victim was a young female who could not have been buried before 1991. The only clue is a titanium surgical plate that appears foreign and has no serial number. Sunny identifies the plate as having been manufactured by a Greek Cypriot company in the mid-1990s, and working on the assumption that the victim may have broken her wrist on holiday, the team begin to trawl through hundreds of missing persons files in the hope of finding an identity. They discover Hayley Reid, a 16-year-old who disappeared on New Year's Day in 2000, and her twin sister, Jessica, confirms she broke her wrist while on holiday in Cyprus in 1995 and had a plate inserted.

Cassie and Sunny visit Hayley's family in Middenham, Hampshire, and break the news that it appears Hayley was strangled. Jessica warns Cassie that reopening the investigation could potentially bring a swarm of negative press back to the town, which wiped out the town's remaining tourism trade for years after Hayley's disappearance. Cassie and Sunny meet with former DCI John Bentley, responsible for the original investigation into Hayley's disappearance, who describes his guilt for the police initially dismissing Hayley as a runaway. The police had investigated Hayley's boyfriend, Adrian Mullery, but he was never charged. After DNA confirms the remains were Hayley, one of her friends informs Cassie and Sunny that two days before her disappearance, Hayley subbed for her cleaning a holiday rental. News of the discovery reaches the four key potential suspects in the investigation. Jamie Hollis, who hosts a television quiz show, declines to speak to the police without his lawyer and panics after the police leave.

Cassie and Sunny learn from Jamie that he and three friends shared the holiday rental with their families before the New Year, and that they spent New Year's Eve at the house before returning to London on 2 January. The detectives note the friends attended school close to where Hayley was buried, and three who were married divorced shortly afterward. All four are troubled: Jamie is struggling to deal with his ex-wife and drug addict son, Eliot, who suffers from gender dysphoria; bipolar artist Chris Lowe lives in a van off the grid; Pete Carr is a failed salesman; and GP Dr. Tim Finch was investigated for verbally abusing an elderly patient. Pete sees the circumstances as a solution to his financial problems, and surprisingly tells the police he saw Hayley cleaning the rental house; he claims he knew nothing of her disappearance as he returned to Hong Kong, where he was living at the time, shortly after. The rest of the team look at the timelines and leads from the original investigation, including a burglary at a church and a black sedan seen driving erratically. Jamie's ex-wife, Melissa, reveals the men were drinking and some using cocaine, and that after Chris had a mental breakdown, the four left before midnight.

Detectives investigate why the four men not only lied about staying in on New Year's Eve 2000, but colluded in that lie. Jamie is besieged by journalists after a blogger, Sandra Rayworth, exposes his connection to Hayley. Pete, who served time in a Hong Kong prison for defrauding a disability charity, admits to the church robbery after DNA ties him to the scene. Tim's ex-wife, Derran, says he is a controlling and abusive man. Chris's daughter says her parents' marriage and his business were destroyed because he was arrested for child porn, but police cannot find any record of this. Melissa, an author, gives an interview discussing her experience as a wife of a perpetually unfaithful man, resulting in multiple emails from women who had sexual liaisons with Jamie, who liked rape fantasies. Pete tries to blackmail Jamie, saying he "knows things" about Jamie's son the night of Hayley's murder. Police investigate Eliot after discovering he had already been arrested several times, including for stealing his father's car. Pete is stabbed after Cassie leaves his file in a café and his past is exposed.

After barely surviving the attack, Pete dies, putting Cassie's career in jeopardy. Tim tells the police that prior to the attack, Pete told him that on New Year's Eve 2000, he saw Eliot sneaking into the house after 2 a.m. Fran believes that Hayley's diary uses codewords to to describe drug use and sex, and that she was looking to buy drugs for a New Year's Eve party. Chris states that despite his arrest, he was not the one who visited child porn websites, and investigators were able to prove his credit card info was stolen, leading to all charges being dropped, but his life destroyed. Jamie's former car matches the one seen driving erratically, and Melissa claims that her husband had told her he hit a deer that weekend. Jamie tells police he believed his son had accidentally killed Hayley while driving drunk, her body fallen into the river and washed out to sea. After Pete's death, Sandra is arrested for inciting the vigilantism that ultimately killed him. Police arrest Tim after discovering he was pulled over for speeding outside Middenham on 3 January 2000 — the day after he'd returned to London

Tim claims that the scrunchie, women's knickers and a cross necklace found in a lockbox in his cellar were purchased at a fete for his daughters, but DNA results prove they belonged to Alison Baldwin, a 14-year-old from Earlridge, Cambridgeshire, found raped and strangled in 1997. Tim denies involvement, but after it's revealed he was staying in Earlridge for a medical conference when Alison was abducted, he confesses to being a serial rapist and murderer of young girls. Without any remorse, Tim nonchalantly explains how he abducted, raped and strangled Hayley while coming across her by chance on New Year's Eve, and later takes them to the remains of another one of his victims. He confesses to their being many more victims but does not give their details. Chris reconciles with his fiancée, Jamila, and Cassie visits her father, who encourages her to take time off from work. Several months later, Cassie and Sunnie bring flowers to a memorial garden for Haylie.

document_title: New York, I Love You XOXO

question_text: gossip girl who does georgina end up with

text: New York, I Love You XOXO

text: Plot[edit]

text: The series finale picked up where the previous episode left off, where Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) and Bart argue on the roof ending with Bart falling off the building. Chuck and Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) leave the scene and hide from the police as Chuck is considered "a person of interest" in the case. Jack Bass (Desmond Harrington), Chuck's uncle, comes to help him and suggests the two get married since spousal privilege prevents a wife from unwillingly testifying against her husband. Chuck thus proposes to Blair who tearfully accepts. Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) discovers the alternate chapter about her that Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) wrote and put in her bag before she left for Los Angeles. She reads the chapter and decides to stay in New York to confront Dan. William van der Woodsen (William Baldwin) shows up to support Lily Bass (Kelly Rutherford) and tells Ivy Dickens (Kaylee DeFer) that he used her to get back to Lily.

text: With the death of Bart Bass, Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford) who is running the newspaper The Spectator, is no longer indebted to him (Bart paid his debts to control him) and he decides to find out for good who Gossip Girl is. Jack and Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg) deal with the arrangements of Chuck and Blair's wedding. Before the ceremony, Serena and Blair have a conversation over why she is still talking to Dan after he published a negative chapter about her a few weeks ago. Overhearing their conversation, Dan leaves and gives to Nate his final chapter, which is about Gossip Girl. Blair and Chuck are married by Cyrus (Wallace Shawn) and right after, the police arrive to question them. At the same time, everyone's phones ring: Dan's chapter has been published in The Spectator, in which he reveals that he is Gossip Girl. Various characters react over the Gossip Girl reveal, including Vanessa (Jessica Szohr), Juliet (Katie Cassidy), Agnes (Willa Holland) and Lola (Ella Rae Peck), as well as Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Rachel Bilson, preparing to audition for a role in the adaptation of Dan's book, is told of Gossip Girl's identity by Kristen Bell, who shares a conspiratorial wink with the audience. Dan finally explains why he created Gossip Girl and says Jenny (Taylor Momsen) knew it all along.

text: 5 Years Later: It's the day of Dan and Serena's wedding. Chuck and Blair are now parents of a son named Henry. Nate, now a successful businessman with The Spectator flourishing, is likely to run for Mayor of New York. Ivy has written an autobiography about her career as a con artist in the Upper East Side, which was adapted into a film starring both Lola and Olivia Burke (Hilary Duff). Blair and Jenny have become business partners in the fashion world and together they have created a clothing line called "J for Waldorf". Lily and William are back together while Rufus (Matthew Settle) is in a relationship with Lisa Loeb. Jack Bass and Georgina have also become a couple. The final scene shows the new generation of high school kids on the Upper East Side, mirroring the elite and the exclusion. The show ends as a new Gossip Girl is teased as "there will always be someone on the outside wanting to get in."

text: Production[edit]

text: The episode was written by Stephanie Savage, while Mark Piznarski directed it.[1] On October 31, 2012, TVLine revealed the title of the finale would be "New York, I Love You XOXO".[2] Filming of the episode took place in October 2012 in New York. Some scenes were filmed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art while Blair and Chuck's wedding scene was filmed near the Bethesda Terrace.[3][4] Featured music included Great Northern's cover of "Bonnie & Clyde",[5] Rihanna's Pon De Replay,[6] Imagine Dragons's "It's Time",[7] Release the Sunbird's cover of Talking Heads' "Road to Nowhere",[6] The Mynabirds' "Body of Work",[6] Florence and the Machine's "You've Got the Love",[6] and The Pretty Reckless' "Kill Me" as closing song.[8]

text: On October 5, 2012, executive producers Stephanie Savage and Sara Goodman told the reveal of who was behind Gossip Girl would happen in the sixth and final season.[9] Savage said they didn't plan at first to reveal the identity of Gossip Girl but that they changed their minds because of the fifth season's storyline.[10] On November 14, 2012, TVLine announced there would be a flashforward in the finale.[11] Savage later told there would also be a flashback.[10]

text: Costume designer Eric Daman dressed Blair (Meester) with a headband and Chuck (Westwick) with a scarf (in the flashback) as a tribute to previous seasons.[12] Blair wore an Elie Saab dress for her wedding, while Serena (Lively) wore a Missoni dress.[13] Serena's wedding dress was designed by Georges Chakra.[14] Jenny (Momsen) and Blair both wore Zuhair Murad dresses to Serena and Dan's wedding[15][16] while Georgina's dress was designed by Robert Rodriguez.[17]

text: Casting[edit]

text: Several former cast members returned for the finale. Desmond Harrington reprised his role as Chuck's uncle, Jack Bass.[18] News of Connor Paolo and Taylor Momsen's returns surfaced on October 16, 2012 when Kelly Rutherford posted on Instagram a picture of them on set.[19] Katie Cassidy,[20] Ella Rae Peck, Jessica Szohr, and Willa Holland also returned for small appearances. Long-time narrator Kristen Bell appeared in the episode as herself reading her lines alongside Rachel Bilson.[21][22] On Bell's cameo Savage told: "It was really funny and very, very special to be shooting with her. She's an intimate part of our family but yet we never get to see her. To be able to make her a part of our storytelling just felt like the perfect way to crown her work with us over the years."[10] She added: "If you’re going to have those two ladies together in a scene then we wanted to have fun and play to their strengths. So Josh Schwartz and I came up with the whole idea... To be able to have Kristen onscreen for the finale was great. And to have Rachel do it with her was just the icing on the cake."[23] The episode also included cameo-appearances by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Lisa Loeb.[24][25] Loeb, who had previously appeared in the show during the first season,[26] ended up as Rufus' final partner. The writers made this choice so that he would not be alone but with someone from "his world", another musician.[23]

text: Reception[edit]

text: "New York, I Love You XOXO" was first broadcast on December 17, 2012 in the United States on The CW Television Network (The CW). The episode in the United States was watched by 1.55 million people and scored a 0.8/2 Nielsen rating/share in the adults among the 18–49 demographic, making it the most watched episode since April 25, 2011.[27]

text: Sandra Gonzalez of Entertainment Weekly gave a positive review of the final installment, summarizing it as "a perfect balance of nostalgia, mythology, wit, trickery, and closure". Despite calling the choice of Dan being Gossip Girl "edgy, daring and probably dripping in inconsistency," she was satisfied that "it didn’t turn out to be an unknown person or peripheral character. The writers chose Gossip Girl straight from the heart of the gang — and that decision deserves some respect." She also appreciated the flashbacks describing them as "charming" as well as Chuck and Blair's wedding, which she called "gorgeous", and enjoyed the guest-star appearances.[28] Writing for Newsday, Verne Gay thought the reveal of who was behind Gossip Girl was not surprising but was "a nice sort of perverse poetic justice."[29] The Hollywood Reporter's Philiana Ng wrote the episode "reminded viewers of what Gossip Girl ultimately is and should be remembered as: a soapy, cheeky guilty pleasure."[30] Rating it 4.8/5, Courtney Morrison of TV Fanatic described the finale as "epic". She liked Desmond Harrington's return and picked the five-year flash forward as a highlight of the episode. Even if she was surprised that Dan turned out to be Gossip Girl, she found that it "made sense".[31]

text: However The A.V. Club gave the episode a grade F, citing that it was "excruciatingly boring". They also criticised the revelation that Dan was Gossip Girl "so he not only, um, used Gossip Girl as a platform for spreading rumors, denigrating his friends, revealing his sister’s sex life in public and embarrassing ways, and, oh yes, nearly getting himself expelled (that is some ninja double-crossing skill)—he was using it to try to impress a girl that was literally the subject of his stalker-takedown-campaign for at least two years, if not for the run of the entire show."[32]


document_title: Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series

question_text: when does episode 3 of guardians of the galaxy come out

text: Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series

text: Gameplay[edit]

text: Guardians of the Galaxy plays similar to other Telltale games, in which the player's character talks to other characters, explore environments and interact with objects within it, and at times, complete action sequences made up of quick time events. Players make choices, such as dialog selection, that create determinants within the story affecting later actions within the episode and in future episodes. Within the series, the player primarily plays as Star-Lord, but may at times briefly take the role of another Guardian during action sequences, or, during specific times, play as another character in a flashback. [5]

text: Development[edit]

text: Telltale and Marvel partnered to develop the game, quickly establishing that they wanted to make an original story that used the character's canon but was not tied to the 2014 film. Telltale decided to go against an origins story, and instead focused on the connections between each of the five Guardians. Described by Marvel's Bil Rosemann, "A good Guardians story is about them as a family and showing how they're all misfits, they're all underdogs, they all feel like they don't have a family anymore" and coming together to form their own family that they depend on.[5] Telltale saw this as well as elements from the established character histories to find "potentially surprising" elements to include, according to Telltale producer Justin Lambros.[5] To achieve this, they planned each episode to center around each Guardian and explore their past, though the player will primarily remain in the role of Star-Lord throughout the series. This approach was novel for Telltale, since the character interactions that the player opts for in earlier episodes can have a stronger impact on the later episodes, particularly in the relationship between the other Guardians.[5] Telltale and Marvel's goal was to make the story accessible to people who may not have read through the comic series but had seen the film, while still dropping in hints and Easter eggs referring the Guardians' history in the comics to long-time fans.[5]

text: Telltale's Guardians was first revealed during the December 2016 Game Awards,[6] though rumors of the game had been previously found in material released by SAG-AFTRA actors as part of the 2016 video game voice actor strike in November.[7] The game's first of five episodes was released on April 18, 2017; in additional to digital downloads, a retail version will be available for the first episode release with an online pass to acquire the other episodes once released; this is expected to be released on May 2, 2017 in North America and May 5, 2017 in Europe.[8]

text: Telltale hosted a panel about the game at the 2017 PAX East event in Boston, MA in March 2017, as well as having the first episode available for a "crowd play" session during the 2017 South by Southwest event.[8]

text: Audio[edit]

text: The game is based on the Marvel Comic series and the recent film with an exclusive storyline. It has a different set of voice actors from the film. The cast currently includes Scott Porter as Star-Lord, Emily O'Brien as Gamora, Nolan North as Rocket Raccoon, Brandon Paul Eells as Drax the Destroyer, and Adam Harrington as Groot.[8]

text: Plot[edit]

text: Tangled Up in Blue[edit]

text: Peter Quill, AKA Star-Lord (Scott Porter) receives a distress-call from the Nova Corps, requesting the assistance of the Guardians of the Galaxy on an unidentified planet with an abandoned Kree outpost, where their forces are being decimated by the Mad Titan Thanos (Jake Hart). Arriving to reinforce the Nova Corps, the Guardians ship - the Milano - is shot down by Thanos' ship, causing it to crash-land on the planet. The Guardians survive and trek towards Thanos' location, with Rocket Raccoon (Nolan North) revealing he's constructed a new gun that can emit a highly powerful destructive force - at the cost of only having one shot. They discover Thanos has entered a large Kree building held shut by two metal doors, but Star-Lord is able to slip in through a fissure in the wall and blow it open from the inside using the canon from a crashed ship, finding the corpses of multiple Nova Corps members along the way. The Guardians then confront Thanos in the temple's lower chamber, who has obtained an ancient artifact called the Eternity Forge. The team struggles to defeat the tyrant and most become incapacitated, but Star-Lord manages to shoot Thanos in the chest with Rocket's new gun, successfully killing him. Star-Lord than takes the Eternity Forge from Thanos' hands, assuming it useless now that the danger has passed.

text: Following the battle, the Guardians celebrate their victory by spending the night at a bar in Knowhere, where Star-Lord interacts with his teammates now that their long-time foe is finally dead. He starts off with Drax the Destroyer (Brandon Paul Eells), who feels satisfied with Thanos' death as revenge for his family's murder by the mad tyrant. However, Rockets argue that Star-Lord was the one who killed Thanos with Groot (Adam Harrington) supporting him.

text:
If Star-Lord tells Drax the Destroyer that he earned his revenge, he states to Drax that he killed the one responsible for his family's death, satisfying Drax's need to atone for his family's death.
If Star-Lord doesn't tell Drax the Destroyer that he earned his revenge, he reminds him that he used Rocket Raccoon's gun on Thanos. This causes Drax to state that he would've expected this from Rocket Raccoon or Groot, promptly leaving after stating that he is not in the mood to celebrate.

text: Star-Lord than finds Rocket trying to show off the gun that killed Thanos to some of the bar-goers, bragging about being the brains behind the operation. Upon Star-Lord interacting with him, Rocket confesses that he's starting to feel burnt out by their life of constant chaos and near-death experiences, wishing to take a break on his own for a bit and even wondering if it's time for him to go his own way now that the Guardians no longer have to deal with Thanos. Afterwords, Star-Lord speaks with Gamora, who admits a small part of her wants to see her sister Nebula again - despite how angry the latter will be at learning she helped kill their adoptive "father" Thanos.

text:
If Star-Lord reminds Gamora that Nebula is still her sister, Gamora states that Star-Lord might be right and will consider calling her after a few more drinks. The two of them do a toast to family.
If Star-Lord tells Gamora to stay away from Nebula, he also tells Gamora that what Nebula doesn't know won't come back to kill them. Gamora states that it's a safe bet and wouldn't mind starting fresh. The two of them do a toast to moving on.

text: The next day, a hung-over Star-Lord wakes up to find the team amassed a large tab that they need to pay off and decide a good way to make money is to sell Thanos' body. Rocket suggests selling it to the Collector to get more credits, while Gamora thinks they should give the body to the Nova Corps so they don't have to deal with criminals. Both Gamora and Rocket Raccoon end up in an argument until Star-Lord breaks it up and that they will figure out who to sell Thanos' body to.

text:
If Star-Lord calls the Nova Corps to sell Thanos' body to them, he tells the female representative about it and takes in their bounty on him. After the call, Rocket gets angry and states that they would've gotten more units off of the Collector. The Guardians of the Galaxy will receive less of a paycheck and because the bounty has to go through a process, the money won't come to them until at least half a year.
If Star-Lord calls the Collector to sell Thanos' body to him, he talks with the Collector's representative Vylla (Erin Yvette) due to the conditions of Thanos' body, but manages to get their large share of space credits after some negotiation. Before ending the transmission, Vylla tells Star-Lord to make sure the body is there when she arrives with some associates. Gamora frustratedly states they are going down a dangerous path in dealing with the Collector.

text: After making a decision on who to sell Thanos' body to, Star-Lord suggests also selling the Eternity Forge for more credits and goes to retrieve it from his room, but the artifact starts to glow when he picks it up. Falling into a trance, Star-Lord experiences a flashback in which his mother Meredith Quill (Courtenay Taylor) gives a young Peter Quill (Jeremy Shada) advice on how to deal with bullies after one broke his walkman cassette player and having him promise to use his words instead of his fists in the future.

text:
If Peter Quill promises to use his words and not his fists, he tells his mother that he will. Meredith thanks her son. She also fixes Peter Quill's walkman as they listen to a song on it as a meteor shower occurs.
If Peter Quill can't hold on to that promise, he states that he doesn't know what will happen next time. Meredith tells Peter to try for her. She also fixes Peter Quill's walkman as they listen to a song on it as a meteor shower occurs.

text: As they watch the skies, Peter suddenly finds the Eternity Forge in his hands and hears his mother ask to "Come find me" - after which either Gamora or Rocket will snap Star-Lord out of it and tell him that he's been standing there for hours talking to the relic. Realizing the Eternity Forge isn't an inert trinket, Star-Lord decides not to sell it with Thanos' body.

text: After completing the trade of Thanos' body with whoever it was sold to, the team is attacked by Hala the Accuser (Faye Kingslee), her second-in-command Jyn-Xar (Chris Cox) and their small Kree army, demanding the Eternity Forge. During the chaotic battle, Hala manages to steal the Forge from Star-Lord and damage the Milano's engines before escaping back to the Kree's ship, the Revenant. Star-Lord than takes either Gamora or Drax with him in pursuit of Hala.

text:
If Star-Lord takes Gamora, she states they'll make their way through the ship with as little conflict as possible. Drax the Destroyer tells Star-Lord to kill all the Kree for him - and that he won't forgive him if any are left alive.
If Star-Lord takes Drax the Destroyer with him, Drax the Destroyer states that he shall be a violent worthy ally. Gamora tells Star-Lord not let Drax do anything stupid.

text: Star-Lord and his teammate arrive on the Kree ship, only to discover it barely operational with only a skeleton crew aboard - and a large assortment of preserved Kree corpses in stasis pods. Making their way to the bridge, the pair confront Hala the Accuser and learn the Eternity Forge can supposedly raise the dead, with Hala planning to resurrect her son Bal-Dinn and the rest of the Kree race after they and their entire planet were destroyed by Thanos - which will apparently require numerous "sacrifices" to accomplish. Hala than impales Star-Lord with her lance and incapacitates his teammate, though Rocket manages to intervene with the repaired Milano and blow out the bridge's windows before she can finish them. Star-Lord manages to reclaim the Eternity Forge as it is sucked out into space, while his teammate grabs him and carries him back to the Milano. As the team argues amongst themselves in panic over what to do, Star-Lord succumbs to his injuries.

text: While near-death, Peter Quill relives attending his mother's funeral as a boy and how he was adopted by Yondu (Mark Barbolak), who visited him in the chapel and revealed that Meredith entrusted him to watch over Peter Quill.

text:
If Peter trusts Yondu, he agrees to go along with Yondu who starts to show him his new home.
If Peter doesn't trust Yondu, this will cause Yondu to forcefully drag him to his new home.

text: Afterwards, the adult Peter finds himself hearing a knocking noise from his mother's casket and opens it, only to find his mother behind him. Placing her hand on his chest, Meredith tells Peter to come find her - while back in the present, the rest of the Guardians are left shocked as the Eternity Forge successfully heals Star-Lord's wound, bringing him back to life.

text: Under Pressure[edit]

text: After Star-Lord is revived, the rest of the Guardians are surprised and disbelieving at what the Eternity Forge did and thought he was possessed at first until he proves his identity. The Guardians are unsure on how the Eternity Forge could bring Star-Lord back to life, but Star-Lord can bring up how Hala mentioned the Forge could resurrect the Kree with enough "sacrifices" - allowing Drax the Destroyer to realize the Eternity Forge trades a life for a life, deducing it must absorbed Thanos' life-force when he died and than gave to Star-Lord to revive him. Just then, the Revenant catches up to the Milano, forcing them to take evasive maneuvers to escape. The Guardians suspect that Hala the Accuser plans on using the Eternity Forge to revive the dead Kree in her ship's stasis pods to create an unlimited army, re-establishing the Kree's empire. In order to lay low and for Rocket Racoon to fix the Milano, Star-Lord states that he knows someone who could help them out.

text: Heading to the planet Rajak in its Neon District, the Guardians arrive at a building where Star-Lord's surrogate father Yondu is living in seclusion. As Star-Lord introduces everyone to Yondu, he witnesses Rocket point his gun at Yondu, stating that he doesn't trust Ravagers. Yondu then has his telekinetic arrow pointed at Rocket in a tense stalemate.

text:
If Star-Lord asks Rocket what he is planning to do, Rocket states that Yondu's house is already a garbage heap as Star-Lord tells him not to blow Yondu and everyone inside to pieces.
If Star-Lord advises Yondu to put his arrow away, he also tells Yondu that Rocket has been sensitive that everyone is out to kill them. Yondu states that he can add them to the list.

text: Regardless of the choice, the two of them than start to laugh with Yondu revealing the two know each-other rather well, having been buying stuff from Rocket for years. After catching up, Star-Lord shows Yondu the Eternity Forge in hopes of learning more about it. When both of them touch the Eternity Forge, Star-Lord again flashes back to his childhood, where Meredith Quill tells the young Peter that he is meant for more of this life, claiming that he is going to save the galaxy, kill Thanos and change everything - something that surprises Peter as Meredith is describing things she wasn't even there to see. Meredith than asks Peter to sit with her and observe the stars.

text:
If Peter sits by his mother, he does so for just a minute.
If Peter doesn't sit by his mother, he claims that he is cool where he is.

text: As the two of them stare at the stars, Peter notices an hourglass-like constellation with the same shape as the Eternity Forge, with a series of patterns appearing across it that he doesn't recognize. Turning around, Peter realizes his mother is no longer there as he again hears call to "Come find me, Peter." After the flashback ends, Yondu comments that it's been decades since he has seen Meredith's face and the two wonder how she could be connected to the Eternity Forge. As Star-Lord looks over the relic again, glyphs appear over it's surface that Gamora identifies as part of an ancient Kree language. While she can't translate it, Gamora thinks that Nebula might be able to, as the latter had taken something with similar markings for Thanos - though first they would have to find her and convince her to help, before Hala finds her.

text: As Yondu goes to obtain a device that would help repair the Milano, Rocket steps outside and Star-Lord goes to check up on him. As both of them go over what little they understand about the Eternity Forge's capabilities thus far, Rocket reveals that he hopes it can help him with someone he lost. Even though Rocket states he knows that Nebula is the top priority, he tells Star-Lord that they have to stop at Halfworld first so that, if nothing else, he can at least try to use the Eternity Forge. However, Gamora soon after reveals she's found out Nebula (Ashly Burch) has taken Thanos' ship and intends to recover his corpse from whoever the Guardians gave it to - if sold to the Collector, Nebula will be threatening the attendant within his museum for information on Star-Lord, before he and Gamora make their presence known; if sold to the Nova Corps, she will hijack one of their ships and make off with the body on Thanos' vessel, forcing the Milano into a space battle to capture Nebula before the Nova Corps kill her.

text:
If Star-Lord agrees to help Rocket, he tells the rest of the Guardians and Yondu that they will be making a detour to Halfworld. While displeased, Gamora reluctantly agrees to take the detour as Yondu warns Star-Lord to be careful with the newly-repaired Milano. On Halfworld, Star-Lord and Rocket arrive outside the abandoned laboratory where Rocket was created, arriving at a grave that Rocket tries to use the Eternity Forge on. When that fails, Gamora tells Star-Lord that Nebula is tearing apart the place where Thanos' body is being held. By the time the Guardians catch up to Nebula and subdue her, she will have already secured Thanos' body and sent it to a place where she assures he'll receive a proper burial.
If Star-Lord doesn't agree to help Rocket, he tells Rocket that he wishes they could help but must find Nebula first. Rocket is not pleased with the answer and states that he will find his own way to get there. After Yondu fixes the Milano, Star-Lord tells Yondu that Rocket isn't here when asked for him to fire up the engines - only for the group to witness Rocket taking off in Yondu's ship, much to Yondu's dismay. Star-Lord reveals Rocket is going to Halfworld to take care of something as Yondu warns him to keep his group in line. Deciding to catch up with Rocket after they capture Nebula, the Guardians manage to intercept and capture Nebula before off before she can recover Thanos' body. Upon catching up to Rocket on Halfworld, Star-Lord is bitterly told by Rocket that he had his chance to help him and that the Forge didn't work.

text: In either case, when Star-Lord arrives on Halfworld and touches the Eternity Forge on Rocket Raccoon's hand after it fails to work for him, he suddenly experiences a flashback of Rocket Raccoon's past regarding his creation. In it, Rocket is placed in a cage across from the otter Lylla (Fryda Wolff) as the two of them plan their escape. As Rocket assembles a device to help them, he finds information that the scientists are going to eliminate Lylla. Unfortunately, as the two of them evade the robots, Rocket finds that one of the machines managed to land a lethal injection on Lylla. After sealing in the scientist (Chris Cox) and the robots, Lylla opens the doors as she plans to take some of them down with her before the lethal injection kicks in, advising Rocket to leave while he has the chance.

text:
If Rocket honors Lylla's death wish, he says goodbye to Lylla and tells her to mess them up for the both of them, to which Lylla promises that she will. After Rocket escapes, he hears an explosion come from the laboratory and sees smoke emerge, mourning Lylla's death.
If Rocket carries Lylla out of the laboratory, both of them make it out into the open. He then places Lylla's body on the ground as she shares a moment outdoors with Rocket, fulfilling her desire to see the outside world before she dies in his arms.

text: After the memory experience ends, Rocket angrily tells Star-Lord that he had no right to see it, feeling violated at having his past revealed without his permission. Rocket than restores Lylla's grave, which Star-Lord can offer to help with or not, before they return to the Milano. Star-Lord than tries to devise a way to get Nebula's help in deciphering the ancient Kree language, with Gamora suggesting they offer Rocket repairing Nebula's damaged mechanical arm as leverage. Entering Gamora's room, which Nebula has been locked up in, Star-Lord and Gamora explain that they need her to translate the ancient Kree language, but Nebula is reluctant cooperate. When Nebula tells Gamora that she still remembers Tar-Voll, Gamora draws her sword on her as Nebula orders for Gamora to leave.

text:
If Star-Lord has Gamora leave, she does so while warning Star-Lord that she won't help him if she hears screams. Nebula than remarls that she never cared for them.
If Star-Lord agrees with Gamora, he states that Gamora has the right idea in thinking Nebula untrustworthy as he pins Nebula against the wall.

text: Drax the Destroyer later tells Star-Lord that there was a device found in Nebula's skull, and Star-Lord persuades Nebula into giving him the device, though she states that it telling him everything he'll want to know will also mean Star-Lord now owes her. While talking to Gamora and Drax the Destroyer, Star-Lord is told by Drax that the item is a Cypher Module - something that shouldn't exist anymore. Upon uploading it to the translator, Star-Lord uses his mask to read the ancient Kree language and is stunned to find it says "Come find me in the temple", mirroring the words of his mother in the visions. Star-Lord than tells Gamora and Drax the Destroyer that they are going back to the temple.

text: Returning to the unidentified planet with the abandoned Kree outpost, Star-Lord states that Rocket will need some space after what happened on Halfworld and that someone will need to remain behind to guard Nebula. Both Gamora and Drax the Destroyer want the opportunity to guard her - the former to try and reconnect with her sister, the latter because he believes she will start a fight he will need to quell.

text:
If Gamora is chosen to guard Nebula, Star-Lord tells Gamora that she'll be able to tell if Nebula is going to make a move.
If Drax the Destroyer is chosen to guard Nebula, he tells Star-Lord that he won't let him down.

text: On the planet's surface, Star-Lord re-enters the temple with Groot and whoever wasn't chosen to guard Nebula, using his scanner to find that Hala the Accuser was already here before them. Upon activating the switches on the statues, a platform is raised as Star-Lord translates the revealed glyphs on the wall, which exposit on how the Eternity Forge can be wielded responsibly and that "she" will remain entombed throughout the galaxy until than. Star-Lord than discovers that temple in question is at a place called Emnios, while his teammate also notes the images of the Eternity Forge displaying one life being given for every life brought back - which causes Star-Lord to realize why it failed to help Rocket; it wasn't "charged" again after it brought Star-Lord back. When Star-Lord tells whoever was left guarding Nebula to have the Milano's engines fired up for departure, he is told that Rocket is in the engine room with sounds of destruction being head.

text: In the Milano's engine room, Star-Lord finds Rocket is still mourning for Lylla and claims that she is the only thing keeping him alive, as well stating his makeshift computer - all that he has left of her - is no longer working, weeping as he states that he can't fix it this time.

text:
If Star-Lord tells Rocket to move on, he advises that Rocket let go of it, to which Rocket admits he already knows he needs to move on.
If Star-Lord tells Rocket to keep it, he tells Rocket to hold onto it as it means a lot to him, with Rocket solemnly clasping it to his body

text: As a system failure suddenly takes place across the Milano, Star-Lord leaves to deal with it as he tells Groot to help Rocket. However, Star-Lord finds the failure is actually a breech warning, as the ship is under siege by the Kree soldiers with the Revenant closing in on them. As Drax and Gamora fight them off, Nebula offers to help Star-Lord and asks he free her, stating self-preservation as a mutual goal for them to unite under.

text:
If Star-Lord agrees, he will release Nebula with a warning not to betray them, which she fulfills by helping fight off the Kree.
If Star-Lord refuses, he will leave Nebula locked up as she bitterly states he will regret his choice.

text: After dealing with the Kree in the cockpit, Star-Lord heads down to the engine room where he gets shot in the leg by Jyn-Xar, who has defeated Rocket and Groot. With the Eternity Forge in hand, Jyn-Xar states he will return it to Hala, but Star-Lord rants toward Jyn-Xar about the attack as a diversion while Rocket gets back on his feet. Depending on the advice Star-Lord gave him, Rocket will either successfully put the makeshift computer back together to help electrify Jyn-Xar, or rewire the Milano's vents in order to set Jyn-Xar on fire, with Star-Lord reclaiming the Eternity Forge from Jyn-Xar's body. Hala the Accuser than contacts Star-Lord over the radio, warning him that he can't run forever and that the Eternity Forge will be hers. Gamora tells Star-Lord that the Revenant's weapons are coming online while Rocket works to get the engines back online, barely managing to escape. Star-Lord than tells Gamora to set a course to Emnios ,while dropping off their "stowaways" on the way there.

text: Closing in on Emnios, Star-Lord feels certain that his mother is on Emnios, embarking with Gamora through the opened doors into a bright light, where they see the outline of something moving.

text: More Than a Feeling[edit]

text: Following a figure into the white light from the previous episode, Star-Lord again relives a memory from his childhood. In it, the young Peter is dropped off at a music store by his mother so she can pick up a prescription from the pharmacy, having been experiencing painful headaches as of late. As the shopkeeper (Mark Barbolak) copies a mixtape for him to give him mom, Peter is harassed by the local bully Clarence (John Omohundro) who has been regularly attacking him and broke his cassette player. Clarence taunts Peter about his mother being unable to afford her medical bills and that there are rumors she has been going door-to-door begging for handouts. If left uninterrupted, Clarence says his dad is drinking buddies with Meredith's doctor and claims that she's dying, insulting her to her face when she returns to the shop.

text:
If Peter attacks Clarence, he will punch him hard enough to cause a nosebleed, causing Clarence to throw a radio at him in retaliation, though it ends up missing. Realizing he has only angered Peter further, Clarence panics and freezes up, allowing Peter to tackle him against a shelf and start pummeling him. Meredith pulls Peter off of Clarence, who laments that Peter may have broken his jaw. Disappointed and upset with Peter's actions, Meredith begins to cough and have trouble breathing as the aggravates her condition, causing the shopkeeper to call for an ambulance while Clarence runs away.
If Peter uses his words, he'll brush off Clarence's taunts and mock him for having "elephant ears", causing Clarence to rub in how Meredith kept her terminal condition secret from Peter. If Peter remains calm and insists that his mother just needs proper medicine, Clarence tells Peter to simply buy her poison so that can't waste her money trying to get better anymore. Outraged, Meredith slaps Clarence and intimidates him into fleeing, thanking Peter for not lashing out and apologizing for her poor example in striking Clarence. Peter asks Meredith if Clarence was right about her dying.

text: At the end of the flashback, Peter's mother tells him he is "so close" and tells him to find her, culminating in the adult Star-Lord waking up to find himself back on Earth in the middle of a forest. Walking through woods, he finds Gamora screaming into a field at nothing before muttering about her sister and reacting as if attacked. Confused, Star-Lord approaches Gamora only to have her start swiping at him with her sword, believing that he is Nebula. Getting pinned to the ground, Star-Lord struggles to keep Gamora's blade away from his throat and suddenly begins experiencing one of Gamora's memories just like he had with Rocket Raccoon. In it, Gamora is training with the than-unaltered Nebula in a combat arena, advising Nebula on keeping her awareness at all times when Nebula expresses frustration with being confined. The two continue dueling until finally locking blades, Nebula pleading that Gamora is hurting her.

text:
If Gamora finishes the fight, she will overpower Nebula and knock her down, but is distracted when Thanos enters the room - which Nebula takes advantage of to kick Gamora's legs out and press a blade to her neck. Thanos than compliments Nebula's use of duplicity to win and if Gamora claims Nebula cheated, Thanos will remark it Gamora's fault for leaving herself open.
If Gamora throws the fight, she eases pressure off of her sword enough for Nebula to knock her down in front of Thanos, much to Gamora's chagrin. If Gamora reveals she let Nebula win the fight, Thanos will still favor Nebula for having taken advantage of Gamora's hesitance.

text: Thanos muses that Nebula may be the greatest assassin in the galaxy and gives the sisters a mission; head to a Kree outpost on Phelion and locate General Tar-Voll, who has obtained a device that Thanos requires. He instructs Gamora to recover the device while Nebula is to kill Tar-Voll, overjoying Nebula with his acknowledgment that she is ready to go out into the galaxy. Thanos than reveals to Gamora in private that his giving Nebula the mission is because he is losing faith in Gamora's capabilities, intending for Nebula to "tighten the slack" - regardless of if she's actually capable enough yet - and that Nebula will in turn be the one who suffers if they fail. After Thanos speaks with Nebula in private, the sisters arrive on Phelion and split up to complete their goals. Infiltrating the command chamber, Gamora kills the guards and obtains the device, but Nebula is overpowered by Tar-Voll, forcing Gamora to step in and kill the General to save her. Enraged that Gamora took her kill, Nebula demands the device so that she doesn't return a failure. Gamora can either comply or refuse, but Nebula will ultimately impale Gamora with her sword to keep her failure a secret, leaving her sister for dead.

text: After the memory experience ends, Gamora reawakens and pins Star-Lord again, forcing him to slap her to snap her out of it. Realizing he saw her memories, Gamora reveals the betrayal is the main reason for her bitterness with Nebula and that her sister resented her acts of protection, seeing it as pity and a lack of trust. However, Gamora states she also blames herself for not being more honest with Nebula about her doubts and that she still wants to repair their relationship, despite fearing that Nebula will never stop resenting her. Returning focus onto what the Temple is trying to show them, Star-Lord and Gamora hear music that the former recognizes as one of his mother's favorites, drawing them to an old chapel in the middle of the forest. Gamora warns Star-Lord to be careful as the Temple is using their memories against them, entering the chapel to find it a recreation of Meredith's funeral, albeit devoid of anybody else. As they approach the podium, the music intensifies and distorts until going quiet when Star-Lord reaches the casket and opens it, releasing a bright light that disperses the memory world and reveals the Temple on Emnios. Finding a large container in place of his mother's casket, Star-Lord and Gamora watch the object open to reveal the body of a female figure, which tumbles onto the floor.

text: Discovering the figure to be a humanoid girl with a pair of antennae, the woman introduces herself as Mantis (Sumalee Montano) and calls Peter by name, claiming they have met before - than asks to borrow Peter's gun. Star-Lord can oblige her or refuse, though either way Mantis will force her prison container over the edge of the platform and destroy it, gladdened to finally be free of her "tomb". Proclaiming Peter to be "the Celestial One", Mantis reveals she was the source of Peter's visions through the Eternity Forge, calling for him to come find her - albeit unconsciously, with the message using Peter's most vivid memories, and by extension Meredith's form, on reflex to communicate it. Apologizing for her actions, Mantis holds Star-Lord's hands and is able read his responses before he even speaks, revealing she is an empath that can read others' emotions or transmit her own to them, explaining her duty is to help "the Celestial One" decide the fate of the Eternity Forge. Returning Mantis to the Milano, Star-Lord and Gamora introduce her to the rest of the Guardians by way of showcasing her abilities on either Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon or Groot. Star-Lord explains Mantis was the one calling to them through their memories, to which Drax questions how Mantis is connected to the Eternity Forge, despite Rocket's protests against a lengthy narration.

text: If allowed to speak of her past, Mantis explains that the Eternity Forge was brought into existence eons ago as a way to balance the Universe's flow of life-energy, by allowing control over the cycles of life and death. Mantis herself was charged with serving as both it's guardian and a guide for it's wielder to ensure only someone worthy could use it - but when none came, the Kree separated Mantis from the Forge and locked them away separately, so that it's power couldn't be abused. Mantis than explains that there is a legend of "the Celestial One" - a chosen hero with the wisdom and insight to wield the Eternity Forge and decide both it's use and it's ultimate fate - and that Star-Lord is the one the legend speaks of. Rocket is skeptical of the Legend since the Forge wasn't able to bring Lylla back, to which Mantis explains the Eternity Forge is only operating in a limited capacity - unless it is restored to full power, it can only resurrect intact and undamaged corpses, which in turn explains why Hala was preserving Kree bodies. However, Mantis reveals that as the Celestial One, Peter can restore the Forge to it's full power if he returns it to the Sacred Shrine, which would allow it to resurrect any deceased being from any point, though at the cost of one life for another - or he can destroy it to keep it's power forever out of evil hands. Rocket and Drax want to use it to bring back their loved ones, but Gamora and Groot wish it to be destroyed so that it's power can't be abused, by Hala or anyone else.

text: Star-Lord asks if Mantis can take them to the Shrine, to which she states she may be able to sense it's location with his help. However, the unrest and division among the crew makes it too difficult for Mantis to try, asking Star-Lord to speak with them first and find it’s source. Star-Lord finds Groot caring for a potted seedling and Rocket drinking his sorrows away, while Drax the Destroyer feels pensive over hope he'll get his family back and anxiety over Mantis' peering into people's feelings - as well as sympathy for the kind of pain that insight causes. Finally, Star-Lord discovers the primary source of unrest is from Gamora and Nebula, the former voicing frustration and uncertainty over failing to reach her sister. Star-Lord can advise Gamora to either give up on Nebula or keep trying to reach her, before going to speak with Nebula himself. Expressing bitterness at Gamora's attempts to speak with her, Nebula claims her sister doesn't know the full truth behind why she betrayed her, to which Star-Lord suggests she show him via Mantis' empathic abilities. Agreeing, Nebula shows Star-Lord her memories of the sisters' last mission, revealing that she hadn't been trying to kill Gamora; Thanos had been listening in as he believed that Gamora was untrustworthy. When Gamora disobeyed him and killed Tar-Voll, Thanos ordered Nebula to kill Gamora lest he do so himself, albeit slowly and painfully, with Nebula complying in order to save Gamora from Thanos' wrath. Gamora than walks in on Star-Lord viewing Nebula's memories and interrupts, causing another argument between them over each-other's trustworthiness despite them both wanting to reconnect.

text:
If Star-Lord tells Nebula to leave, she will bitterly depart and end up joining Hala the Accuser in order to gain protection from the Nova Corps. She than fights Gamora in the episode's climax, taunting her for never listening to her while Gamora vows to keep defeating her, though the fight ultimately ends with Nebula helping subdue Gamora.
If Star-Lord tells Nebula to stay, she and Gamora finally start to reconcile and Nebula accompanies the Guardians, leaving Gamora hopeful they can regain each-other's trust. Nebula and Gamora fight side-by-side in the episode's climax, expressing happiness at working together again, though Nebula ends up getting injured protecting Gamora.

text: With the crew's feelings now sorted out, Mantis is able to locate the Sacred Shrine and the crew readies to leave. Gamora talks with Star-Lord about the outcome of taking to Nebula, Rocket apologizes for his drunken rant at Peter and Mantis listens to music on Peter's cassette player, voicing anxiety on how much the team is weighed down by their pasts rather than living in the present. Playing some music to help ease tension, Star-Lord helps Mantis acclimatize to the Guardian's chaotic life on the Milano as they travel to the Shrine, which is located in a subterranean cavern on Drobino. Entering the Shrine, Mantis directs Star-Lord to place the Eternity Forge on the central pedestal and energize the temple, though damage to the statues forces them to manually re-adjust the lenses meant to focus power to the platform. Upon focusing the beams of light on the Eternity Forge, Star-Lord is given the choice of whether or not to fully empower it or destroy it, but Hala the Accuser enters immediately afterword with a group of Kree soldiers to try and claim it for herself, though Rocket disarms her of the remote-gauntlet for her lance.

text:
If Star-Lord decides to destroy the Eternity Forge, Drax the Destroyer and Rocket Raccoon feel hurt and betrayed at losing the chance to have their loved ones back, verbally lashing out at Gamora and Groot when they approve of the choice. When Hala enters, the Guardians fight her forces to a standstill but Hala manages to reach the broken Eternity Forge. She than attempts to resurrect her son Bal-Dinn, but his body disintegrates moments after materializing and the stricken Eternity Forge explodes. However, Hala survives the blast, badly burned but infused with the Forge's power, swearing revenge on Peter for costing her the chance to bring back her son and army.
If Star-Lord decides to empower the Eternity Forge, Gamora and Groot will respectively express anger and disappointment at personal attachment superseding the risk, with Drax the Destroyer and Rocket Raccoon criticizing the two for being afraid. When Hala enters, the Guardians fight her forces to a standstill but Hala manages to reach the empowered Eternity Forge. She than uses it to successfully resurrect her son Bal-Dinn (Johnny Yong Bosch), embracing him upon affirming he is alive. Claiming the Eternity Forge for herself, Hala uses it to revive the rest of her soldiers within the Shrine, intent on repeating the process for the Kree's army.
