::EPISODE 25::
(FIRST EPISODE OF SEASON FIVE)
“The Beginning of The End”
PREVIOUSLY
In Season Four of Yesterday’s Gone…
Season Four picked up in 2013, following the return of the survivors of the events of October 15, 2011.
The survivors were attempting to reclaim some normalcy in their lives even as The Darkness started to spread Its tendrils. Unlike the other world, where The Darkness consumed everything in its wake, It had now decided upon a slower more stealthy approach, infecting a smaller number of people, waiting for the right moment to take over, but in a different way.
However, some of the infected, not realizing that they were invaded by alien parasites, started to lose their minds and go on violent rampages.
So far the alien’s existence has been hidden from the general public and the only people who know — key government officials and the people at Black Island Research Facility are doing their best to keep the alien threat a secret from the populace.
Luca Bishop has returned to Earth without any memory of his prior life on the other Earth. Luca Harding, now part of The Light, h
ad wiped Luca Bishop’s memories and allowed him to live the life of Luca Harding, blissfully unaware of the horrible events that Luca Bishop was at least partly responsible for when he secured and gave Boricio Bishop alien vials to save his love, Rose, who was dying.
Luca Bishop wasn’t adjusting well to Luca Harding’s life, though. After becoming the target of bullies who decided to beat him, he fought back and murdered some of them. When he tried to go home and explain to his parents what happened, the police were there. Terrified, Luca decided to go on the run.
Boricio Wolfe and his new love, Rose, found themselves in California meeting with Rose’s agent, Veronica, about a possible movie deal for her book. Boricio, after being “fixed” by Luca Harding, no longer kills innocent people, focussing his rage on people who deserve to die — murderers, rapists, and other evil people.
Rose has no idea what kind of man she is in love with, and Boricio struggles to keep his dark side a secret, only killing when she’s out of town or he is able to slip away.
Unbeknownst to Boricio, a former cop turned writer named Michael Blackmore was hunting the man who killed his daughter several years ago — none other than Boricio.
Meanwhile, Mary Olson and her daughter, Paola were trying to recover from the death of Paola’s father, Ryan on the other world. One day when Mary cut herself, Paola realized that she could heal her mother. However, just like Luca, she aged a few years in the process.
Mary, freaking out, reached out to one of the few friends she has — Boricio. Rose told Mary that perhaps a woman named Marina Harmon could help her.
Marina Harmon is the daughter of former Church of Design leader, J.L. Harmon, who passed away in October 2011, just prior to foreseeing both his death and some of the events that would happen. She is also friends with Rose’s agent, Veronica, who introduced her to Rose, Mary, and Paola.
Marina, using a Church healing device called the Capacitor, attempted to heal Paola. While inside the Capacitor, Paola had a vision that revealed that Marina’s boyfriend was infected by The Darkness who had taken over Boricio Bishop (the other world’s Boricio) and transformed himself physically to become “Steven,” Marina’s boyfriend and the head of security for the Church.
Steven had already attempted to send the infected after Boricio Wolfe and Mary once the night prior, but had failed to kill them.
Paola, having seen Steven’s true nature, tried to tell Mary, but was unable to vocalize what she saw and wound up passing out. Mary quickly took her to the hospital.
Mary reached out to Boricio, asking if he can help find Luca, who may be able to help heal Paola.
Steven, seeing Rose, had flashbacks of Boricio’s love for her, and became preoccupied, wanting to find and be with her.
Alone in the motel, Boricio woke to find himself tied to the bed, a captive of Michael Blackmore who was eager to make Boricio pay for his daughter’s murder.
However, when Rose returned from Marina’s after the Capacitor event, Blackmore decided to take her hostage too. To make matters worse, Blackmore showed Rose crime scene photos of his daughter’s murder and then forced Boricio to admit what kind of monster he was.
Meanwhile, Marina, while in a dream, saw Steven for who he really was. Steven realized that she was onto him and decided to choke her to death.
However, he was interrupted by a vision of Rose in trouble. Steven, deciding that Marina still served a purpose, decided to knock her out and trap her in the crypt where her father’s body lied in state.
Steven showed up at the motel where Boricio and Rose were being held by Blackmore. Steven killed Blackmore and then attempted to kill Boricio. Boricio managed to fight Steven off long enough to scream for Rose to run.
Steven then attacked Boricio.
Rose returned, grabbing Blackmore’s gun and killed Steven, saving Boricio’s life.
Angry at him for lying to her all this time and hiding his murderous side, Rose considered killing Boricio. Instead, she decided to call the police, even though Boricio begged her not to.
Before Rose can do so, however, The Darkness escaped Steven’s corpse and went into Rose’s body much to Boricio’s horror.
Rose, now infected by The Darkness, managed to hold it off long enough to tell Boricio to run before she/It could kill him.
Boricio, for the first time in his life, ran away.
As Mary sat in the hospital with Paola, the infected became aware of her and launched an attack on her and Paola.
Paola, while in a coma, found a part of herself projected to a desert where she found Luca Harding, but as an old man. He told her that he is The Light, a blend of himself and the good alien presence. He then explained to her that she would now hold The Light within her, as he couldn’t maintain a physical form any longer.
Paola soon found herself led to a house where she ran into a familiar face — Desmond Armstrong, who had died more than year ago on the other world.
Desmond then stepped through a portal to save Mary and Paola and bring them back to the other world.
Luca, while on the run, found himself in a surreal desert where he met a man named Roman, a friend of Will Bishop. Roman was with Will when they found the alien vials in Alaska.
On the alternate Earth with its timeline, the men found the vials and brought them to the Black Island Research Facility. However, on this earth, the men saw the vials as a threat and decided to leave them alone and never tell anyone of their existence.
Years later, Roman had become obsessed and went back to Alaska and took the vials, which began giving him disturbing images of the future.
Roman then told Luca that Will had told him that Luca would appear and that Roman was to give Luca the vials, as he was the only one pure enough to hold them.
There are also six other vials, which Roman had given to J.L. Harmon.
After Luca took possession of the vials, Dog Vader appeared, and Roman, who was a bit insane at this point, realized that Luca wasn’t pure. Roman attempted to get the vials back.
Luca managed to escape through a portal, but not before being shot.
Luca found himself in the motel with The Darkness, now inside Rose’s body. She told him that he’s been lied to and he is not who he thinks he is. She then forced him to swallow one of the vials containing the alien life-form.
Brent Foster hasn’t been the same ever since he came back. Estranged from his wife Gina, and his son, Ben, he found himself renting out a room in an elderly couple’s house.
One day Brent ran into Stan (or this world’s version of one of the 2:15ers who died on the other world). Brent chased him down to see if he had also seen visions like the other world’s Stan. Wanting nothing to do with Brent, Stan chased him off.
Brent decided that he might have better luck with one of the other 2:15ers. He decided to try and find the Earth version of Luis, whom he had made friends with on the other planet.
Luis was reluctant to help him, or admit to the visions he’d had of October 11. But after a while, he told Brent of a man, Roman Rosetti, who was also a member of the 2:15ers, and said perhaps Roman could help him.
Meanwhile, Ed Keenan, working with Sullivan (from the other world) at Black Island Research Facility, was trying to track down Brent at their boss, Bolton’s, directive.
After they picked up communications from Brent that might expose the whole alien threat, Bolton demanded that Keenan track down all the survivors of October 15 and kill them in order to keep the public from learning any more about the threat. Though Keenan was reluctant to agree, Bolton used Keenan’s family’s safety as leverage.
Keenan agreed, though internally he was still undecided.
After finding out that Rosetti was in a mental hospital, Brent contacted an old reporter colleague of his, Lara, to help him get into the place using her contacts. Lara agreed, but only if Brent will tell her what’s going on. Brent arranged to meet her.
However, when Brent arrived, he found Lara dead, with Ed Keenan in her apartment. Brent rea
lized that Keenan killed her to silence her, and it’s all Brent’s fault. Keenan then took Brent into custody, handcuffing him in the back of his agency van.
Keenan then went to the hospital to follow up on the Rosetti lead, but when he got there, the man was gone without explanation. And written on his wall was all sorts of ramblings about “It” being here. Also on the wall, a message directly to Keenan, as if the man knew he’d be there. The message told Keenan to get away.
On Black Island, Sullivan was infected.
When Keenan called to inform Sullivan about Rosetti not being there, Sullivan uncharacteristically barked at him, demanding that he find the man or Keenan’s family would suffer.
Keenan decided to uncuff Brent so Brent would lead him to the other 2:15ers in attempt to find where Rosetti has gone. Their first stop — Stan’s apartment.
When they got there, they were greeted by two Black Island Guardsmen who had killed Stan, and have been ordered to do the job Ed was supposed to have done — kill all survivors of October 15, including Keenan and Brent.
Keenan and Brent manage to kill the men. Brent then decides he must go to his wife, Gina, and convince her to come with him — that it’s too dangerous for her in the city now.
Keenan decided to go to the safehouse where his daughter, Jade, and Teagan and Becca were staying, to also move them.
Brent ran home and tried to convince his wife that he wasn’t crazy and she had to come with him. Before he could do so, however, Guardsmen showed up and killed her. They were about to kill Brent and his son too, until Keenan (who backtracked after considering that Brent might be walking into an ambush like the one at Stan’s apartment) showed up to save them.
Keenan then took Brent and his son upstate, telling them to wait in a diner as the safehouse might be compromised. Keenan was right. When he arrived at the house, he found Sullivan waiting.
He realized that Sullivan was now infected by The Darkness.
Sullivan offered to evolve Keenan and his family, rather than kill him. He explains that they’ll be far better off, and seems to actually believe what he’s saying.
