2017

"Earth has wizards now?"

- Thor to Doctor Strange

This is a timeline of events that occurred in 2017.

1st

 * Alphonso Mackenzie has a long awaited dinner date with Elena Rodriguez. He calls her Elena for the last time for the next three months.
 * He and Coulson return to the Zephyr, as is routine, to renew their pursuit of Quake, following a new lead from her incident in Atlanta. They continue tracking her whereabouts, and hoping to bring her in.

18th

 * Stephen Strange begins to write an email to Christine Palmer, but decides not to send it.Scott Derrickson said, "It's months that he's in recovery, I think it's between 3 and 6 months. Yeah, I think it's about 3 to 6 months. Somewhere in there [... I think - gosh, don't hold me to this because again I haven't thought about this in a long time [...] but I think it's about a year from the beginning of the movie to his return to New York. And so, [...] I think it starts early fall, to late fall, so it's a little over a year, because I think it's like winter-y when he has the fight with Christine, it's like that cold, New York, really dark grey, nearly snowing kind of vibe."] On the day of Strange's car crash, he checks his watch and it says "TUE", "2016", "FEB", "2", making it Tuesday, February 2, 2016. While this does not fit with the fact that WHiH World News tweeted on May 2, 2016 and posted a video on May 3, 2016 (and WHiH World News is proven to be set in real time, (1, 2, 3, 4, and other dialogue in videos matching with dates given)) about Strange being a surgeon, Scott Derrickson tweeted to confirm the February 2nd date as well as retweeting another post about it. With the beginning of the film in "early fall" and the end of the film in "late fall", "a little over a year" later, and the February 2016 car crash falling between the two, this would mean the film begins around early Fall 2015 and ends around late Fall 2016. However, Derrickson also says that Strange recovers for 3-6 months, and Mads Mikkelsen says Strange trains for "9 months" before his clash with Kaecilius, which overall would suggest the film ends 12-15 months after Strange's car crash, thus placing the ending around February-May 2017. This, in turn, using Derrickson's comment about "a little over a year" ("early" one season to "late" the same season a year later would mean 4⅔ seasons, so about 14 months), would, working backwards, place the opening of the film between December 2015 and February 2016 (the latest it can be, before Strange's car crash). Overall, using weighted math from all the evidence available, the details of which can be seen here, the result is that the opening is October 13, 2015, the car crash February 2, 2016, the argument with Christine March 29, 2016, Strange's arrival in Kathmandu May 4, 2016, and the climax January 18-19, 2017. This would put the opening still in the early part of fall (working with Derrickson's comment), the argument with Christine towards the end of the snowy period and a bit after winter, but enough time after Strange's crash and a good time for the heavy rain (a bit later than Derrickson's comment but realistic), his arrival in Kathmandu 3 months after his crash (just fitting inside Derrickson's 3-6 months comment), the climax another 8.5 months later (just fitting for Mikkelsen's "9 months" comment), and the climax a bit after Fall 2016, instead Winter 2016-17 (a bit later than Derrickson's comment) but fitting as "a little over a year" (15 months) after the opening (fitting reasonably with Derrickson's comment), a realistic time of year for the snowfall at the Ancient One's death, and working with the other comments just described. This also works fine considering Derrickson made it clear he did not want to be fully held to his comments. The specific dates of smaller events in between can also be found here.
 * Strange goes to the Kamar-Taj Library in order to obtain more books. However, when he calls for Wong, he does not show up. Strange goes to the Ancient One's private collection and starts to read the Book of Cagliostro.
 * He finds instructions on how to use the Eye of Agamotto: a magical item kept only a few meters away, and experiments with its power.
 * Benedict-cumberbatch-doctor-strange-movie.jpg uses the Eye of Agamotto for the first time]]Strange begins to manipulate time for the apple he has been eating, turning it back in its time to regrow, and forward until it rots. Strange uses this power to recover the lost pages stolen by Kaecilius in the book, and comes to realize the Eye's powers of control over the time of objects. He is caught by Wong and Karl Mordo, who both angrily warn Strange not to disturb the natural law, noting that misuse of items of such incredible power could cause Strange to become trapped in a time loop forever.
 * Wong and Mordo take Strange to the Sanctum Chamber and reveal the real purpose of the Masters of the Mystic Arts: for keeping Dormammu and other mystical evil entities away from Earth.
 * KMordo-MastersExplaination.jpg also tell him about the three Sanctums across the globe in New York City, London, and Hong Kong, as locations from which the sorcerers can protect the Earth.
 * Destruction of the London Sanctum:
 * Kaecilius and his Zealots infiltrate the London Sanctum and kill all the Masters of the Mystic Arts defending it, including Sol Rama. Kaecilius then successfully destroys the London Sanctum by creating a massive explosion.
 * In the chamber, Wong and Mordo become worried as alarm bells sound. The trio opens the door leading to the London Sanctum, only to see Kaecilius' destruction.
 * Sol Rama 3.png]]The explosion rips through into Kamar-Taj and knocks everybody off their feet, trapping Strange in the New York Sanctum as he is separated from his allies and unable to return to Kamar-Taj.
 * Stunned from the explosion, Strange starts looking for help, walking through the New York Sanctum. He soon discovers the Rotunda of Gateways, as well as the Cloak of Levitation. He encounters Master Daniel Drumm, who hears commotion downstairs, heading down to face the Zealots attacking the Sanctum, instructing Strange to stay put. Strange, however, chooses to follow.
 * Battle at the New York Sanctum:
 * DS Sanctum Battle whip.png to fight Kaecilius]]Strange witnesses Kaecilius murdering Drumm. He reveals his presence, forcing the Zealots to attack him, and despite the fact that they had trained for years, Strange manages to fight them with little problem, conjuring eldritch whips and shield mandalas of light to protect himself.
 * During the fight, Strange discovers that, due to Dormammu's influence, they are capable to alter the real world outside the Mirror Dimension.
 * He decides to use the Rotunda of Gateways to his advantage, trapping one of Kaecilius' disciples in the desert and the other, Lucian, in the jungle, leaving only himself and Kaecilius to continue fighting through the New York Sanctum.
 * DS Featurette - Magical Objects 1.pngge attempts to intimidate Kaecilius with the Brazier of Bom'Galiath, but he does not use how to use it. Kaecilius throws him into the Cloak of Levitation's glass case, but the cloak wraps itself around Strange's shoulders and helps him in the fight. The cloak guides Strange to the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, allowing him to trap Kaecilius and end the fight.
 * Strange tries to interrogate Kaecilius, but he tells Strange only that time and death are insults, and that the Ancient One extracts powers from the Dark Dimension herself, to obtain extended life.
 * DStrange-StabbedByLucian.jpg]]Soon, Kaecilius notes that Strange's Sling Ring is missing, as Lucian makes it back into the Sanctum and stabs Strange with a Space Shard, almost killing him. The Cloak of Levitation protects Strange by attacking Lucian and removing the Sling Ring from his hand.
 * Strange uses the Sling Ring to transport himself to Metro-General Hospital, where he calls out Christine Palmer so she can tend to his wounds secretly. Surprised to see Strange again, appearing out of nowhere wearing unusual clothes, and after all this time, Palmer soon begins to tend his wounds as they talk about what was he has been doing during all the time he has been gone.
 * StrangePalmer-MidOperation-Projection.jpg to save him]]Strange apologizes to her for having treated her poorly the last time they saw each other.
 * Duel on the Astral Plane:
 * While Palmer operates on him, Strange projects his astral form and uses it to guide her surgery, leaving her bewildered. Lucian uses his astral form to escape from the Cloak of Levitation, and uses the portal Strange left open so as to follow to Metro-General.
 * Strange discovers Lucian in the hospital and a battle ensues between the two of them, disturbing several objects in the physical world as Palmer continues performing the surgery.
 * DStrange-PowerUp-FightingLucian.jpg]]Palmer eventually shocks Strange twice with a defibrillator, which charges up his astral form enough to kill Lucian.
 * Strange returns to his body as Palmer finishes her work on his wound. Strange explains that he went to Kamar-Taj in order to heal his wounds, but instead ended up learning magic.
 * Now sufficiently better, Strange decides to return to the New York Sanctum and continue his fight against the Zealots. He shows Palmer the portal he made with his Sling Ring, confirming what he was saying to be completely true.
 * DS Spot 19 - 3.pngge arrives at the New York Sanctum where he meets with the [[Ancient One]] and Karl Mordo, discovering that Kaecilius escaped from the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Impressed by his actions, the Ancient One names him the new protector of the New York Sanctum. However, Strange confronts her about drawing power from the Dark Dimension, causing her to leave abruptly.
 * Battle of the Mirror Dimension:
 * Mordo and Strange argue about the Ancient One, but they are interrupted as Kaecilius and his Zealots return to destroy the Sanctum.
 * Mirror Dimension Battle.pngge drags all of them into the Mirror Dimension so Kaecilius is unable to destroy the Sanctum, and steals his Sling Ring so he cannot escape. Mordo and Strange proceed to run away so they can escape, locking Kaecilius and his Zealots in the Mirror Dimension forever, but Kaecilius and his group start to chase them.
 * Kaecilius distorts the terrain around them so Strange and Mordo cannot reach their portals to escape.
 * The Zealots chase and warp nearby buildings and skyscrapers, causing Strange and Mordo to plummet down the twisting New York City landscape. Kaecilius and the Zealots eventually manage to separate the two before cornering Strange.
 * The Ancient One arrives in time to rescue Strange and Mordo by warping the dimension herself to move them away to safety.
 * DS Promo Clip - 5 Days 2.png]]In doing so, she unintentionally confirms the fact that she draws power from the Dark Dimension as the dimension's symbol appears on her forehead. A battle ensues between her and the Zealots, led by Kaecilius, resulting in her old student stabbing her through one of his Zealots, and pushing her out of the Mirror Dimension and back into the Earth Plane with a Sling Ring, where she falls to a harsh impact on the streets of New York. Strange and Mordo follow through the portal to help her.
 * Strange rushes the Ancient One to Metro-General Hospital where they are received by Christine Palmer, who proceeds to help her in the surgery room along with other members of the hospital.

19th

 * Astral Form Snow.png before she passes away]]A few hours after the surgery began, at 2:42AM, the Ancient One leaves her physical form and goes out onto a balcony, prompting Doctor Strange to astrally project and follow her, realizing what she is doing. The two talk, and she tells him about the Dark Dimension and why she had drawn her power from there, claiming that it was necessary to help protect others. Strange warns that Mordo will not be so understanding of her. The Ancient One also reveals that she has seen the future, and she knows that this is her final moment. She warns Strange of Dormammu's powers, and holds Strange's hand as she watches snow fall over a nighttime New York City, before her form vanishes, signifying her death.
 * In the very early hours of the morning, stunned by the death of his mentor, Stephen Strange washes his hands. He says goodbye to Christine Palmer, before leaving again to fight the Zealots.
 * Kaecilius and his Zealots arrive at the Hong Kong Sanctum where Wong, along with other Masters of the Mystic Arts, is preparing to make a stand. A battle ensues, resulting in the defeat of the Masters and the death of Wong. Kaecilius destroys the Sanctum and prepares to summon Dormammu, who begins to fuse Earth with the Dark Dimension, starting above the remains of the Hong Kong Sanctum.
 * Meanwhile, Strange reunites with Mordo at the New York Sanctum, and they decide to stop Kaecilius and his Zealots together.
 * Battle at the Hong Kong Sanctum:
 * The duo arrive only to find the Sanctum already destroyed, and the Masters who decided to protect it already dead.
 * Doctor Strange EW Screencap 01.jpg reverses time using the Eye of Agamotto]]Knowing that they have no other option, Strange decides to use the Eye of Agamotto, breaking the Natural Laws of Time, to turn back time for the city and reverse what has happened. He frees both himself and Mordo from the time reversal, and the reversal returns Wong and many others from the dead, despite Mordo's protests. However, Kaecilius breaks free of the time reversal as well and a battle breaks out in the rebuilding city. Kaecilius stops Strange from completing the spell, freezing time for the city around them and ensuring that the Dark Dimension will still arrive despite Strange's best efforts. Kaecilius says that Dormammu's arrival could not be stopped anymore, saying that his dimension is "beyond time".
 * Skirmish in the Dark Dimension:Dormammu 3.png
 * Upon hearing Kaecilius' words, Strange figures out a way to defeat Dormammu, and heads to the Dark Dimension, where time is irrelevant. Strange arrives at the Dark Dimension and before he confronts Dormammu, he uses the Eye of Agamotto to create an unending loop.
 * He tells Dormammu he wants to bargain, but the evil entity refuses, killing him many times before Strange reveals that the loop he created has put them in a endless cycle for the whole of eternity; the only trap Dormammu could not escape from, since the Dark Dimension was a place beyond time, and therefore Dormammu has no power over it.
 * Dormammu-doctor-strange-2016.pngually, Dormammu begins begging Doctor Strange to end the time loop, which he does, on the condition that Dormammu banishes himself and the Zealots from Earth forever.
 * Dormammu does this, turning the Zealots and Kaecilius into Mindless Ones and dragging them into the Dark Dimension forever, sealing the portal between the dimensions.
 * Strange returns to Wong and Karl Mordo on Earth.
 * Doctor_Strange_Teaser_32.png leaves the Masters of the Mystic Arts, disillusioned by their dishonest, questionable, and dangerous uses of magic, after having witnessed both Strange and the Ancient One's rash actions be pardoned.
 * Doctor Strange returns to Kamar-Taj with Wong. He replaces the Eye of Agamotto, saying that he is not yet worthy of wielding it; Wong tells him that this is wise, revealing the Eye's true nature as holding an Infinity Stone, a term Strange does not understand.
 * Strange embraces his position as the new protector of the New York Sanctum.
 * Strange puts on his broken watch from Christine Palmer, and, wearing the Cloak of Levitation, looks out on New York City.

 * Back at base, Simmons struggles to understand the timetable of the mission, feeling that something does not seem right. While sharing these feelings with Fitz, she receives an alert from a Life-Model Decoy detector in the base which indicates that four agents have apparently been replaced by androids while battling the Watchdogs in Russia.

 * MaceMayCoulsonFitz-Framework.jpg reveals her actions to Radcliffe]]Aida reveals that the changes happened due to the recent uploading of the consciousnesses of Phil Coulson, Jeffrey Mace, Alphonso Mackenzie, and Leo Fitz, and thus the Framework being adapted to accommodate them. Radcliffe is concerned at Aida's actions, saying that she should never have changed the reality of the Framework with him being inside, because it could have caused him severe brain damage. He worries further when she reveals that the four LMDs she sent to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. are ready to kill in order to complete their missions.
 * Siege of the Playground:
 * When Simmons wakes, Fitz's LMD discusses Fitz's desire to marry her and settle down.

 * Simmons Reunites Quake.pngon and Simmons meet, and are terrified that the other is lying and is secretly an LMD. Johnson quakes her, proving that she is not one, as they cannot replicate Inhuman powers, and simultaneously proving Simmons is also real as she feels the vibrations of her bones. The two embrace with huge relief, and decide to fight back against the LMDs and rescue their friends.
 * Aida shows Radcliffe the new body she is building for the Superior, and tells him how she is starting to know the feelings of human behavior, but cannot understand it with logic. She also explains that her two main orders are to protect the Framework,Self Control 9.jpg and to protect Radcliffe's life, but that that creates a paradox in her programming. She sees them as a contradiction, because he might become a major threat to the Framework if one day he regrets its creation. Aida kills Radcliffe and submits him into the Framework where his consciousness will be preserved, even if his body has perished, to fix the paradox by keeping him safe in a place where he cannot threaten the Framework.
 * The base is locked down as Mace's LMD and Coulson's LMD make the agents believe that Johnson and Simmons are LMDs that are trying to destroy the Playground.

Recognizing the description as Simmons, Daisy Johnson sets out to locate her first.
 * Coulson starts to think over all the things Simmons told him.

However, Aida tells Ivanov that if one of the agents begin to threaten the existence of the Framework, that overrules their defensive programming - the loophole she found with Radcliffe.

Framework

 * Escape from Muspelheim:
 * Thor Ragnarok Teaser 2.png]]Thor has allowed himself to be captured by Surtur in order to obtain more information about the Infinity Stones, after not finding anything in the last 2 years. He tells the story of his current predicament to a skeleton who sits with him in his cell.While the evidence for the placement of Thor: Ragnarok suggests it is set roughly in real time, Kevin Feige specifically said, "And I think there's a presumption, "Well if the movie came out in November 2017, it must take place in November 2017" - which is not the case." Therefore, the placement must come purely from the evidence presented, uninfluenced by real time. In Thor: Ragnarok, Thor says, "Sokovia, Ultron, that was 2 years ago." Banner asks, "I've been Hulk for 2 years?", and he replies, "I'm afraid so." Then, later, Banner mentions (from Thor's information) that he was "trapped for 2 years inside of a monster." These refer to it being 2 years since the Battle of Sokovia, dated to May 6, 2015. It has been stated many times, (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) that the events of the film pick up 2 years after the climax or ending of Avengers: Age of Ultron, in May 2015. Tom Hiddleston also said, "It's been 4 years since Thor: The Dark World, and Loki is pretending to be Odin." This would place the film 4 years after the end of Thor: The Dark World in November 2013. Overall, the maths weighing up this evidence places the film around June 14-18, 2017, a little over 2 years after Avengers: Age of Ultron, nearly 4 years after Thor: The Dark World. The specifics of the maths can be found here.
 * Surtur lowers Thor from his cage to hang from chains in front of him. However, Thor only laughs at Surtur, claiming that Odin defeated him thousands of years ago. Surtur tells Thor that Ragnarök has been set in motion, and nothing is going to prevent it now that Odin has been absent from Asgard, to Thor's surprise and confusion.
 * Thor is captured by Surtur.jpg]]The ruler of Muspelheim claims that he is going to bring the apocalypse to Asgard once he merges with the Eternal Flame, but he comments that without his crown, he will not be able to do it.

26th
There are very few soccer games on in late June, so it is hard to believe that there were games on consecutive days. Therefore, the game playing in the scene before the push-ups on the 27th and the game playing in the scene after the push-ups on the 27th has to be assumed to be the same game, with Fitz muting or turning it off in the middle for push-ups. Therefore, these scenes are either side of the push-ups on the 27th. There isn't an obvious match that it could be which he is watching, but it can be assumed that the soccer schedule between seasons in the MCU is not identical to the real world.
 * Leo Fitz trains again, doing push-ups in his cell.In Rewind, after the scene where Fitz has 28 monkey faces on his wall (reasoned as June 10th), a scene transpires where Fitz eats and looks at Simmons' file. The next scene then shows him doing push-ups. This is followed by a scene where he scrunches up a piece of work, followed by another push-up scene. He then gets angry about a free kick, and then there is a final push-up scene, before the scene with his 49th monkey face, on June 30th. Last time the monkeys were shown, they were in rows of 4 (incomplete row), 7 | (line on the wall) 7, 7, 3 (incomplete row). In all 3 push-up scenes, it now appears that the 4th row above the line on the wall is 6 (incomplete row). This would suggest that it is 6, 7, 7, 7 | 7, 7, 3-7. It is unknown whether Fitz has added to that bottom row we previously saw incomplete or just left it as an incomplete row of 3. The scene after, with the 49th monkey face, shows that the bottom row has indeed been filled out, so he must have filled it at some point over this time. By distribution, we can approximate that ((1 - 0.5) ÷ 3) × 4 = roughly 1 of the missing 4 has been filled out in the 1st scene, ((2 - 0.5) ÷ 3) × 4 = 2 have been filled out in the 2nd, and ((3 - 0.5) ÷ 3) × 4 = roughly 3 in the 3rd scene. This would mean there is approximately a total of 45, 46, and 47 monkeys respectively in the 3 push-up scenes, thus making them approximately June 26th, 27th, and 28th.

27th

Ultimately, it can be taken that Runaways: Season 1 occurs in December 2017. This is 25 years since late 1992, 2 years and a few days since Amy last played Star Wars: Battlefront on her day of death in early December 2015 (a couple of weeks after the game was released), about the time when Geoffrey would have bought a 2018 planner but not have used it yet, just under a year until college, a bit before college application deadlines, a month where there is indeed a Friday 8th, the time when a "non-holiday-specific seasonal dance" would be held, and also the real time date at the middle of the season's run (from November 2017 to January 2018). Runaways: Season 1 therefore begins on Friday, December 8, 2017, with the events of Destiny on Saturday, December 9th, Fifteen beginning that night and then going to Monday, December 11th, when Kingdom also takes place. At the end of Kingdom, Leslie says that the gala is in a few days, and Metamorphosis appears to be at the weekend, but when Metamorphosis picks up, characters act like it has been only a day or two, so it is as soon as possible after: Saturday, December 16th. Refraction and Tsunami are as soon as possible after again, and are confirmed by Doomsday to be on Thursday: Thursday, December 21st, with Doomsday the next day on Friday (the signs say "Friday 7-11 PM"), December 22nd, the last day of term, and finally Hostile taking the season to the morning of Sunday, December 24th. Victor says in Refraction, "On Monday, you are gonna make a public apology to my son and reinstate him to the lacrosse team," implying that it should be the week before, as the Monday after December 18th is December 25th, when there is no school. This is overruled, however, by Jonah saying in Doomsday, "[Your children have] been lying to you for weeks," and, "They've been conspiring against you for weeks," and Alex saying in the same episode, "Look, I know that it's been a shitty couple of weeks." This means it is at least 2 weeks after Friday 8th, so the earliest it can be is Friday 22nd rather than Friday 15th.
 * Alex Wilder plays  before going to school.
 * RSW Battlefront.png plays Star Wars Battlefront while his father talks to him]]Alex is approached by his dad, Geoffrey Wilder, and tells him that the reason he has not played it in 2 years is that it is the game he and his friend, Amy Minoru, had played together before she died. Geoffrey tries to comfort him, but Alex rejects the sympathy and goes to have breakfast with his mother, Catherine Wilder. They talk briefly about his attitude, and how his parents gave him space after Minoru died, but that it was time to stop being introverted. His father suggests that he meet up with his old friends, the other children of the members of PRIDE, a small organization which the Wilder parents are also a part of. He tells Alex to value the friendships he has at this age, and not let them slip away.In Reunion, it is shown that the last time Amy logged in to play Star Wars: Battlefront was "2 years ago". With PlayStation time stamps rounding down, this means it has been anywhere between 2.00 and 2.99 years. With the game released on November 16, 2015, this means that at the very earliest, it is now late November 2017. In Fifteen, it is shown that in Geoffrey Wilder's drawer, he has what appears to be a newly bought 2018 planner. It does not look used, and is being kept in a drawer of miscellaneous items - the drawer being mainly intended for accessing his secret gun, not for important items. It can be taken, therefore, that it is roughly late 2017, but perhaps 2018. In Refraction, in a flashback to "25 years ago", students are shown saying "Dude, have you seen Reservoir Dogs yet?" "Oh, my God, it was so good." The implication of this is that the film has just come out, which was in October 1992, suggesting that present day is late 2017. Chase also says in Rewind that "in another year [he'll] be off to college", suggesting that it is late in the year, around the time college starts/a year before next year's college starts, and in Refraction, they say that they will have "a hell of a personal essay for [their] college applications," implying that the applications are not yet finished, so it is not as late as January yet. In Rewind, Frank looks at Leslie's laptop calendar, and it says that the date is Friday 8th. It also shows that the month before was 31 days long and that this month is also 31 days long. While this would make it August (which it cannot be, since August is not during school term) or January, after January 2016, which is far too early, the next time that all 3 criteria are satisfied is January 2021, which is far too late. The calendar is not a reliable source, however, as it shows that the month ends with "26, 27, 28, 29, 29, 30, 31" and the next month begins with "1, 2, 3, 4, 29". However, after July 2016, which is too early, the months that have Friday 8ths are September 2017, December 2017, June 2018, and February 2019. In Doomsday, it is then shown that Atlas Academy is hosting the "non-holiday-specific seasonal dance", which implies it is December.
 * Nico Minoru gets ready for school. She puts on her makeup, then she tries to put on black tights, which end up ripping. She decides to go to get a better pair from her deceased older sister's room.
 * Tina Minoru, Amy and Nico's mother, watches her daughter entering Amy's room from cameras in the house. She goes to confront Nico, reminding her that it is forbidden for her to enter Amy's room.

His mother, Janet gets a call, which Chase is surprised by, unaware that Victor even let her have friends. She rejects the call, not wanting Chase to know that it was from Nico Minoru's father, her secret lover.
 * Chase's father, Victor Stein, works on the Materialization Box, but his experimentation fails. He opens the box and is angered to find the rat he was testing with is still there. Janet, Chase's mother, tries to comfort her husband, who is suffering from headaches. She reminds him of the PRIDE meeting that evening, wondering if he could reach out for help.
 * Frank Dean leaves after the Gibborim service to meet with his agent, Phil. Karolina then tries to convince her mother, Leslie, to sign a special permission slip for a field trip to San Francisco that evening, but Leslie rejects it, telling her daughter that she has a Vanity Fair shoot, and claiming that she cannot miss it, since she is the millennial face of the Church of Gibborim.
 * Leslie approached Ep2.pngina expresses her annoyance that her mother pays her little attention or care and leaves for school. Leslie is then approached by two members of the Church of Gibborim, Aura and Frances, and informed that Destiny Gonzalez did not attend the service and is missing.
 * Phil meets with Frank Dean outside the Church of Gibborim Executive Offices, where he tells him that he is no longer going to work with him. After expressing his reasons - that he was too busy being the face of the Church of Gibborim to continue his burnt-out career - Phil encourages Dean to enjoy his newfound benefits inside the Church, urging him to talk with Leslie and take a more prominent role in the organization.
 * Gert Yorkes and Molly Hernandez are taken to school, Atlas Academy, by Yorkes' parents, Dale and Stacey, who adopted Hernandez after her parents died in a fire 10 years ago. After an awkward conversation, Yorkes and Hernandez abandon the car quickly.
 * Alex Wilder watches as all of his old friends now ignore each other before school. He calls his mother and asks her for permission to invite them to their house that night, like how they always used to. Catherine Wilder agrees, despite her husband's reservations about having the teenagers in the house while the PRIDE meeting is happening. Catherine dismisses this, saying that as teenagers, the last thing they would care about is what their parents are doing.
 * Meanwhile, Leslie Dean enters a room with fingerprint security in which someone is terribly sick, covered in grey crust and in a special life-support machine.
 * Meanwhile, Alex's parents prepare to set up the meeting that night.
 * Nico's parents, Tina and Robert Minoru, discuss the current situation between Tina and Nico. Tina decides to seal Amy's room with the Staff of One, although Robert does not think that that is the solution since, if they continue like this, they could lose Nico due to the conflict with her mother.
 * After dropping off the girls, Stacey Yorkes, Gert's mother, informs her husband, Dale, of the PRIDE meeting, which he had forgotten about. They express their annoyance at having to go, with Stacey also being bitter at Tina Minoru's insults of her homemade brie. Dale prefers not to go, but Stacey says that if anyone deserved a night off it is her, having taken care of their Deinonychus the night before.
 * Gert Yorkes gives a feminist talk in class and proposes the creation of a group, "Undermining the Patriarchy", needing 4 members for it to be officially recognized by the school, but her classmates pay her no attention. After this, Wilder approaches Stein to invite him to his house that evening, but when Yorkes and Dean approach to ask what is happening, tension arises between the teenagers and it becomes clear that a meet-up may be impossible.
 * In the construction site of a supposed school being built by PRIDE, a small group of gangsters, led by Darius Davis, arrive and threaten the workers to get them to leave, intending to use the situation to threaten Geoffrey Wilder.
 * In the secret passageway in the Wilder Mansion, Geoffrey and Catherine Wilder are preparing for the meeting when Geoffrey gets a call from Howard, the head of the construction work, informing him of the situation with Davis. Geoffrey decides with his wife that he needs to resolve the issue in order to keep the construction on its feet.
 * Destiny Gonzalez is approached by Leslie Dean, who has discovered Gonzalez's plan to leave. Gonzalez thanks Dean for her help over the last 6 months, and reveals that she has a daughter who is turning 3 today, and she had promised herself that she would never miss another birthday for her. Dean, however, asks her to wait, claiming she has a surprise for her - that Gonzalez will be advancing in the Church of Gibborim to "Ultra" status.
 * Unfortunately, Gonzalez agrees to stay a bit longer for the ceremony.
 * Geoffrey Wilder arrives at the construction site and confronts Darius Davis, threatening him by threatening his grandmother, showing him a camera that is directly recording everything about of her house implying that he could have her killed if Davis continues to mess with him. Davis agrees not to meddle with the construction of the school and returns to his car, where he discovers that his plan worked: while they talked, he managed to clone the contents of Wilder's cell phone.
 * Molly Hernandez auditions to be part of the of the dance squad, but experiences what seems to be bad menstrual cramps, and is unable to continue the tryout. Hernandez heads to the nurse's office.

 * Gert Yorkes, who has heard everything, approaches Stein. She offers to help him with studying Spanish, and Stein suggests that they meet at a cafe that evening. Yorkes accepts.
 * Alex Wilder finally finds Nico Minoru near the trophy cases and tells her about the meet-up that night, and confesses that he misses her. She indicates to him that she has not heard him because of her earbuds, but is lying, only turning on music afterwards as she heads to the girls' bathroom to cry.
 * Karolina Dean sees an edit of a photo she uploaded earlier in the day, mocking her with the word "Brainwashed" replacing "Blessed". Dean visits the girls' bathroom to cry as well.
 * Dean hears how Minoru enters the bathroom. Both, face to face, pretend to be perfectly fine. Dean suggests her not using makeup to hide, but Minoru tells her not to hide behind a smile, because "it's still hiding".
 * Molly Hernandez is given meds at the nurse's office. When the nurse steps out, her powers suddenly emerge as she uses super-strength to accidentally crush her chair. This relieves her discomfort, the repression having been the true source of her pain.
 * Frank Dean asks his wife, Leslie, to allow him to move to Ultra position and become her partner in both life and the Church of Gibborim. She suspects that his meeting with Phil did not go well and led to this request. She decides to leave for the PRIDE meeting without her husband.
 * Karolina Dean is recorded for an interview by  in order to promote the Church of Gibborim, as her mother requested. She is approached by Destiny Gonzalez, who tells Karolina that she is incredibly grateful all the help her mother, Leslie, has given her.
 * Back home, Molly Hernandez tries out her powers in the garage. She tries to pull a van but fails, instead going to bend a crowbar, just as the van beings to roll towards her from behind. Hernandez notices and turns. Her powers suddenly activate to stop it, and she cheers at her success, before suddenly becoming very tired and slumping against the wall.
 * The PRIDE meeting begins with the Wilders, Minorus, Deans, Yorkeses, and Steins all attending. They make an awkward small talk.
 * Alex Wilder gets home and walks into the meeting, where he talks briefly with his mother, telling her that none of his friends agreed to come over, before leaving the room. The parents agree that since Amy Minoru's death, their children have all been affected.
 * Wilder puts on a record and sits down to play  again.
 * As the sun goes down, Nico Minoru stands on the beach by a fire, preparing for an invocation seance ritual. The sun sets over Los Angeles.
 * At the PRIDE meeting, Leslie Dean passes the file on Destiny Gonzalez, that night's sacrifice, to all the members. Geoffrey Wilder is uncomfortable with the idea, because their previous sacrifices were all 16-20, older than their children, but now their children have reached the same age as their victim - 17. Despite this, the whole group reluctantly agrees that they have to go ahead. The PRIDE members descend to the hidden passage and change into their ceremonial robes.
 * Karolina Dean is driven to a party across the city, and looks out of the window.
 * Gert Yorkes waits for Chase Stein at the cafeteria, preparing cards to help his Spanish revision.
 * Stein, meanwhile, arrives at the party which he had been invited to earlier that day, right after setting his meeting with Yorkes.
 * Dean continues to travel to the party.
 * Alex Wilder sits playing Star Wars Battlefront, deeply missing his friends.
 * Nico Minoru lights candles.
 * Stein drinks at the party, but feels guilty for skipping his meeting with Yorkes.
 * Yorkes becomes nervous as Stein has still not arrived.
 * Wilder paces his room, looking at his cell phone.
 * Karolina Dean sees an advert for the Church of Gibborim outside her window, with her and her parents representing the church. This saddens her, thinking of how it has affected the opinion of her among her peers.
 * Minoru lays down the candles around a bonfire she has started.
 * Wilder finds a photo of all of him, Nico Minoru, Gert Yorkes, Chase Stein, Karolina Dean, and Molly Hernandez all together a couple of years prior. He sends the photo out to the other 5 to attempt to remind them of their good times together.
 * Dean's driver drops her off and she enters the party.
 * Yorkes texts her adoptive sister, Molly Hernandez, asking her to feed the pets at home, seeing as she will not be getting home soon. Hernandez's phone alert wakes her.
 * Dean is handed a pill at the party. Wishing to finally break free of her mother's control, she decides to open her bracelet for the firs time. Once it is opened, Dean's arms appear to light up with bright colors.
 * Karolina stares in awe, before suddenly passing out. Brandon and Lucas, Stein's friends from school, see Dean's unconscious body and carry her upstairs. Stein notices and, concerned, follows the boys.
 * Molly Hernandez feeds the pets in the basement. She hears noises from the "Warning: Keep Out" room, and approaches the window. As she looks through, her adoptive parents' Deinonychus suddenly advances on the window, and Hernandez runs, terrified. She calls her sister, saying that she wants to leave the house, and Yorkes decides that she has waited long enough for Stein, leaving the cafeteria to go to pick up Hernandez.
 * Arriving upstairs, Chase Stein finds Brandon and Lucas unbuckling the unconscious Karolina Dean's belt, preparing to sexually assault her. Horrified, especially when his supposed friends ask him to help, Stein apprehends them and gets in a fight. The duo give up, deciding it is not worth it, and leave. Stein puts Dean's belt back on and clicks her bracelet back into place. She wakes, and he takes Dean out of the party and to her car. She tells him about the lights, which he attributes simply to drug-taking, and she does not pursue the conversation further. Dean asks Stein to stay with her in the car, and they set off, deciding not to go to her home, but instead the Wilder Mansion. She drops the pill she was given out of her window, having not, in fact, taken any drugs.
 * On the beach, Nico Minoru's seance does not work. She starts to cry, and finally decides to also go to Wilder's home, having seen his message.
 * Having prepared over the previous few hours, Leslie Dean calls the Church of Gibborim leaders to inform them that they are ready on their end, and await Destiny Gonzalez.
 * One of Victor Stein's Materialization Boxes closes with Jonah inside in preparation for Gonzalez's sacrifice in the other.
 * Chase Stein and Karolina Dean, coming from the party, Gert Yorkes and Molly Hernandez, coming together, and Nico Minoru, coming from the beach, all show up at the Wilder Mansion. Alex Wilder is very pleased to have his friends finally reunited.
 * Leslie Dean informs Destiny Gonzalez that the ceremony to go Ultra is about to begin, and takes her to the ceremony room below the Wilder Mansion.
 * PRIDE's last preparations are made before the ceremony begins.
 * The group of friends ask for suggestions on what to do next. Arguing amongst themselves, and not deciding on anything, Stein decides that if they are going to address the last 2 years of separation, he at least wants alcohol, and heads off to Geoffrey Wilder's office, where he remembers liquor used to be kept.
 * The group enters Geoffrey Wilder's living room, where they notice that their parents are gone. Alex Wilder reaches for coasters, but finds them stuck together. He twists the stack, and this triggers a mechanism, opening a secret passageway in the dresser which he was not aware of.
 * The group head down the passageway, wondering where it may lead to.
 * Rite of Blood:
 * Arriving at an underground hall, the group are confused as to what is happening, seeing all but Dean's parents in red robes preparing for some sort of ritual. Wilder realizes that their parents cannot hear them, as there is some sort of protective sound barrier.
 * Stein questions what kind of charity meeting would be like this as Leslie Dean enters with a confused Destiny Gonzalez, and Karolina is shocked to find her mother involved as well. Gonzalez asks Leslie who the people she has been brought to are, not recognizing them from the Church of Gibborim, but Leslie avoids the question.
 * Stacey Yorkes approaches Gonzalez with a cup, and asks her to drink from it, claiming that its contents will "purify" her. Gonzalez is scared, but Leslie Dean guides her to drink it, just as Karolina recognizes Gonzalez as the girl she met earlier that day. Gonzalez takes it in two hands and drinks, but then stumbles, weakened. Leslie helps her up to drink again, forcing the cup to Gonzalez's mouth as PRIDE surround her and she collapses.
 * PRIDE then proceed to strip Destiny Gonzalez naked to prepare her for the sacrifice. Gert Yorkes notes that the ceremony has somehow managed to become even more creepy, as Victor Stein places his hand on the Materialization Box so as to activate it. Yorkes pushes Molly Hernandez back from their balcony, worried that her little sister will never be able to forget the horrible sight of what is going on. The box opens and a light comes out of it, as Geoffrey Wilder and Robert Minoru bend down to pick up Gonzalez. They walk her around the box and place her in, as the group of friends above shield their eyes from the blinding light coming from the box.
 * As Gonzalez begs for PRIDE to stop their ritual, Leslie Dean attempts to continue to reassure her. She tells the group to hurry and finish the sacrifice, as Nico Minoru and Gert Yorkes look on in horror. The box closes as Dean sheds a tear for Gonzalez's loss. Above, Minoru asks her friends what could possibly have just happened, and Molly Hernandez reaches for her phone, wanting to be able to see what is going on. Before the group can stop her, she reaches out to take a photo, leaving the flash on. The group run to escape as the light catches the eyes of the PRIDE members, who look up, concerned as to what could have happened.
 * The Wilder parents leave to investigate immediately as the group sprint back to the entrance to the secret passageway and the other members of PRIDE posit theories as to what might have caused the flash. Geoffrey and Catherine undress as Alex and his friends reach the top of the stairs, but find the door closed. Stein suggests that he attempts to open it but fails, just as the Wilder parents finish dressing and head up the passageway. The combined strength of the 17-year-olds still proves to be insufficient, but as Hernandez hears footsteps, she becomes afraid and her super-strength kicks in, allowing the group to escape.
 * Continuing to flee, Alex Wilder tells his friends to head to the guest room while he runs elsewhere, struck by an idea. Minoru tells him that she trusts him and they go ahead. Meanwhile, Catherine and Geoffrey reach the top of the passageway. In the guest room, Karolina Dean, Chase Stein, and Gert Yorkes each discuss potential rational explanations for their parents' behavior, but find flaws in each other's theories. Minoru suggests that they need to accept that their parents are murderers, having killed Gonzalez. Meanwhile, Wilder arrives at the mansion's fuse box.
 * Alex Wilder begins flicking the switches on the fuse box to cut the power. Minoru watches behind Dean as the power in Geoffrey Wilder's office shuts off, putting Geoffrey and Catherine, who have reached the office, into darkness. Alex then switches off the lights in the secret hall, the outside decoration lights, and finally the guest room lights, confusing his friends.
 * Alex Wilder returns, and explains that he cut the lights so that their parents think there was simply a power-cut, and that that is what caused the flash of light. Wilder's parents approach the teenagers, trying to discern whether they had seen anything that they should not have, but find the group playing Twister and acting as friendly as they always used to.
 * The members of PRIDE are disheartened, expressing their sadness at the uncomfortable sacrifice they had to make, with Geoffrey Wilder calling it the hardest yet. They are relieved, however, that it is the last one they will ever have to make.
 * The teenagers do not know what to believe, not wanting to admit that their parents are murderers. They take a look at Molly Hernandez's picture, but find it too blurry to clear up any questions.
 * Karolina's father, Frank Dean, looks at his wife's calendar at the Church of Gibborim Executive Offices, trying to find anything untoward to explain her recent lack of interest in him. He looks at that day: Friday 8th, and the following days, but finds nothing suspicious.
 * Every member of the PRIDE except Victor Stein leaves the hall to reunite with their children. Stein is angry to discover, once the group have left, that Destiny Gonzalez, has not, in fact, dematerialized, and is still in the box.
 * All the PRIDE families congregate upstairs, with the parents continuing the pretence that they held a charity meeting and the children maintaining that they had an innocent and friendly evening.
 * As everyone start to leave the house, Alex Wilder goes to find Nico Minoru in the bathroom. Minoru confesses that she does not want to go home because of what happened with her sister, and how she always notices her being missing. Wilder promises her that she will never be alone.
 * After the Minoru family leave, Geoffrey Wilder tells his son that he thinks he saw a possible romance between him and Nico. Reluctant to reply, Alex simply shuffles off to bed.
 * Frank Dean tries to enter Leslie's private meditation room, believing that his wife might be hiding something there, but he is stopped by Leslie's assistant, Vaughn Kaye.
 * Nico Minoru watches her mother, Tina, locking away the Staff of One.
 * Gert Yorkes sings to Molly Hernandez in bed, as they cannot sleep. Wilder sends out a text to his friends, asking to meet the next day at 10, and Minoru, Stein, and Dean all receive it. Dean texts Destiny Gonzalez to ask if she's alright, and to her surprise, someone starts to reply.
 * The Yorkeses' Deinonychus walks around in her jungle environment in the Yorkes Residence's basement.
 * Geoffrey Wilder feels bad for making another sacrifice, but is comforted by his wife, who tells him to go to bed. Before leaving, he stumbles upon Molly Hernandez's hairpin near the entrance to the passageway, leaving him suspicious that the children might indeed have found their secret.
