Opening Sequence:
As JoJo's "Too Little Too Late" plays, it's the morning after the bomb attacks. The dust is literally settling on TiBBOaks, and there's a haze on the camera as a ghost appears. It emerges that the ghost is that of Mr. Locke, the science teacher who died in the explosion. The surroundings suddenly blur and we are taken to his penthouse apartment. Inside, his wife and son are walking around the kitchen cooking. He walks up to them talking to them, but they fail to see him. He grows impatient and scared, and increasingly frustrated.
Locke: Hello!? I'm right here!
Waters: Mum, pass the bacon please.
Twilight: Here, dear.
He adds this to a frying pan and gently turns it, whilst also cooking eggs. There's a knock on the door and Twilight goes to answer it.
Twilight: Hello?
Andyman: Mrs. Locke?
Twilight: Yes, how can I help?
Andyman: Uh, can I come in please? I have some...difficult news to break.
Waters: Who is it Mum?
Andyman: I'm PC Andyman, I'm with the Forum Police. Have you been watching the news at all?
Waters: No...
Twilight: No, why?
Andyman: Yesterday there was a terrorist attack at the TiBBOaks school.
Twilight: Oh no, oh God please don't...
The camera pans round to Locke's face and it begins to dawn on him what has happened. The surroundings begin to blur again and we are transported, with Locke, to somewhere else.

Scene II:
The camera regains focus at TiBBOaks. In the library, Locke is supervising a few students over their science coursework, recommending some books to research from. He goes to the librarian and talks with her for a while.
Locke: Is it OK if Rizwan here takes out this for an extended period? It's for some coursework.
Serensilver: Of course. Just put your name he-
Suddenly there's a huge explosion and the librarian is thrown to the floor. The camera loses focus again and we get the familiar sensation of being transported elsewhere.

Scene III:
Back at Locke's house, the news has been broken to Twilight and Waters. They sit, grief-stricken, lost for words. A tear rolls down Twilight's cheek and Waters hugs her.
Andyman: I'm very sorry for your loss. He was an ambassador to the community, and a fine teacher. He even taught me when I went there.
Twilight: I just...I don't know what to say. Was it sudden?
Andyman: I'm sure he didn't suffer.
Twilight: Oh...was there anyone else hurt?
Andyman: Yes, 3 students and 2 dinner staff also lost their lives, and there are several others in critical condition, not to mention the others with minor injuries.
Waters: That's awful...
Andyman: We found this in your father's locker at the school, we have reason to believe he intended to bring it home.
He takes something out of a small rucksack and places it on the table. It appears to be a snowglobe, with a small replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa inside. As soon as she sees it, Twilight bursts into tears.
Waters: That's...we got that on a trip to Italy last year.
Andyman: I see. Well-
We are unable to hear the rest of this conversation, as the scene begins to change again.

Scene IV:
We are taken to a flashback during the attacks at the school. Serensilver, the librarian, has slowly regained consciousness, but is trapped underneath her desk and large pieces of rubble. She cries for help and a hand suddenly begins scrambling for the rubble off her.
Locke: Keep calm, I'll get you free.
Serensilver: Oh thank God! What's happened!?
Locke: I'm not sure, there's been a blast of some form. Perhaps it was the gas tank...
He heaves a large slab of ceiling tiling off her, and she gratefully gets to her feet.
Serensilver: Thank you so much!
She runs for the door, escorting a few students outside of the building as she does so. The scene begins to change again.

Scene V:
At Locke's house, Andyman has said his goodbyes and the door closes behind him. Twilight turns to Waters and is silent, with an air of surprising composure about her. She goes to the table and picks up the snowglobe. Locke walks up to her and puts his hand on the top of the globe, and a little of the insides begins to shake.
Twilight: I remember this trip like it was yesterday.
Waters: Dad bumped into that guy on the moped, and he shouted at us for, like, ever.
Twilight: Haha yes. And then he bought us all ice creams and we sat by the fountains.
They look down in sombre reflection, and she places the snowglobe on a shelf. The snow inside is still blowing around. As the camera zooms in on the Tower of Pisa, the shot blurs again.

Scene VI:
The blurred tower of Pisa now regains focus as a column sticking out of the ground. Smoke is now filling the library, and Locke has his hand over his face as he tries to familiarise himself with the surroundings. He hears cries for help nearby, and turns round to see a student stuck under some bookshelves. He rushes forward when suddenly three different flashes of light burst into the room, knocking him over. They appear to be three masked, costumed heroes - the names on the backs of their jumpsuits were "Blair" (who wore red), "Marissa" (who wore purple) and "Regina" (who wore blue). Locke rubs his eyes in disbelief as they begin dancing and using superpowers to Britney Spears songs, and he holds his hands against his ears, clearly not enjoying the music. The heroes suddenly fly off, and Madonna is set free.
Madonna: Did you see that!?
Locke: Yes. Run for safety, quickly!
Madonna runs off. Locke turns to another trapped boy, Rizwan.
Rizwan: Oh, Sir, help! My leg is trapped!
Locke: Ok, hold still for a moment. We don't want to put any unnecessary pressure on your leg in case it's injured.
Rizwan: Quickly!
Locke lifts off the debris with a slight struggle, and Rizwan seems to be able to move his leg without discomfort. As he is helped to his feet by Locke, there is a tremor inside the building. Rizwan suddenly runs for the door, and parts of the ceiling fall on top of Locke. This appears to be what caused his death. The ghost-Locke looks down upon the heap of rubble and sees his own body underneath. There is a tear in his eye, and he places a cloth over his body's face.

Closing Sequence:
As the gospel choir from Mika's "Happy Ending" begin to sing the lines 'little bit of love', we are now in the present day. Outside what remains of TiBBOaks school, a congregation has gathered. They are wearing black, and are each bearing gifts and tributes for those lost. As they lay their flowers, the camera focuses on Madonna. He steps forward and places a white lily on top of a wreath. Next, Serensilver steps forward, wearing a black veil. She weeps a little, as she lays a red rose next to the lily. Finally, Waters and Twilight step forward together and place the snowglobe in the middle of the wreath. The final shot is of the mini snow-storm inside the globe, and the music comes to a crescendo, fading as the credits roll.

Flash! - Episode 16

Opening Sequence:
A week has passed since the explosions at TiBBOaks Elementary. The dead have been buried and mourned, and the clean-up operation is in effect. The school has called in an early Easter Holiday to cover for the loss of school hours given to its students. As "Use Somebody" by the Kings of Leon plays, we first see PC Andyman. He is adjusting the badge on his lapel, and is looking at the mirror on the inside of his locker. As DC Kaz looks over at him, frowning, he looks down and walks out. We then cut to Daren's flat, where he's sat at breakfast with his brother. Rory plays with his now-mushy cereal with a bored expression, when Sam! enters. He throws the post on the kitchen table and kisses Daren on the forehead, to which Rory pulls an exaggerated face. Finally, we cut to Princess' room in the dormitory, as the music fades.

Scene One:
Princess: Morning, sleepy-head.
She pulls back the duvet and we see her new boyfriend in an unsuitable state of undress.
Zee: Ugh, not morning already?
Princess: I'm afraid so.
Zee: Fiiine.
The door opens on them both and Mark walks in.
Mark: Haha, you should know by now to keep this thing locked. Morning Zee. I see something's wide awake, even if you aren't!
Zee: Huh?
He looks down.
Zee: Aaaah! Get out!

Scene Two:
Back at Daren's flat, Rory is making plans to go out with a few friends.
Rory: Yeah, I'll meet you by the juice bar in about...15? Okay. See you then.
He hangs up.
Daren: You going to be out for the day?
Rory: Yeah. Problem?
Daren: No...in fact I'd like the place to me and Sam! ourselves...
He winks at Sam! who returns the gesture.
Rory: Right. Well, don't wait up for me. I'll be round Picto's.
He walks out the door and slams it, whilst Sam! winces at the sudden noise.

Scene Three:
At the juice-bar, LemonJam is flirting behind the counter with his wife, seemingly happy together again.
LemonJam: Get your pert little bottom out of my way, dear, this gentleman wants a milkshake.
LEEZIDJ: I'm sure he can wait whilst I flaunt my thang.
LemonJam: Ouch, that was painful.
LEEZIDJ: Your flirting isn't poetry either, sonny-jim.
They laugh as LemonJam finally gives Picto the milkshake.
LemonJam: That's £2, please.
Picto: Uh, no thanks.
Picto legs it out of the bar as LemonJam shouts after him angrily. Outside, Picto bumps into Rory and Billy, and gestures for them to follow him. LemonJam gives chase but eventually gives up.

Scene Four:
At Iceman's house, the family are getting ready to open the bakery for the day. Iceman, Ash and Rèmy are watching breakfast news, talking over their toast and coffee.
Rèmy: Where did Loukas go, mom?
Ash: Good question, honey. He ran out before I could even ask.
Iceman looks down at his newspaper, feigning sudden interest.
Ash: Ice babe, you know you're no good at lying or hiding things from me. Do you know where he went?
Iceman: He did mention last night he was going to meet up with friends...Rory I think one was?
Ash: Oh, that kid's nothing but trouble. I don't want our boys associating with that crowd...they've been so good up until now as well.
Iceman looks down again, and is once again spotted.
Ash: What now?
Iceman: Nothing love. Not now anyway, I'll tell you later.

Scene Five:
At MarkWaldorf's headquarters, Hugo is tied to a metal plinth with chains. DamonJ is walking around the room with a barely-convincing attempt at a threatening demeanour. MarkWaldorf is sat on a throne located next to his morphing booth, and with controls to the plinth at his hands.
MarkWaldorf: We can't have people knowing about us, Hugo.
Hugo: But WHY? If we were out in public we'd get so much recognition. The fame, the money, the idolising...
DamonJ: Girl has a point.
MarkWaldorf: Oh really? Do you not even pay attention to the news any more, Hugo?
Hugo: Of course! I even have the New York Times on my Twitter! And Perez Hilton!
MarkWaldorf: Exactly! If Paris effing Hilton can't walk around LA without millions of paparazzi hounding her, how do you think WE, superheros, will be treated?
DamonJ: I didn't think of that.
MarkWaldorf: Of course you didn't. You were too busy thinking of grabbing yourself an Adnam Ghalib.
The three all hiss at the mention of his name.
MarkWaldorf: Then it's settled. We remain undercover.
Just then, an alarm buzzes and a radar screen lowers from the ceiling. MarkWaldorf unties Hugo from the chains as they listen to the voice.
MrGaryy: It seems, Spearsians, that there is an armed robbery underway at the train station. There are three burglars, each armed with handguns.
DamonJ: Spearsians unite!
They rush off to their booths and change into their costumes, flying off to the scene.

Scene Six:
DC Kaz has been keeping an eye on Andyman all afternoon. As car-partners, they have so far dealt with petty thefts all day. A voice on the intercom informs them of an armed robbery at the train station, from which they are three blocks away.
PC Andyman: That's just around the corner.
DC Kaz: Step on it. [On the radio] I want all units to the Oak Station immediately.

Scene Seven:
At the train station, the fugitives are holding a few civilian hostages. As screams and general confusion quickly engulfs the vicinity, the police car screeches to a halt outside. To the back of the station, there are three familiar flashes of light. The heroes are stood outside the back entrance, hiding as they plot their next moves.
Hugo: My Radar-
DamonJ: *RADAR!*
Hugo: Yes, it shows that the criminals are all close together, with their backs facing...east. This way.
MarkWaldorf: Right. DamonJ, use your Break The Ice to make a hole in the wall here. This'll take them by surprise, and then me and Hugo can disarm the assailants.
DamonJ rushes off to a barred window and draws a spray from his belt. He sprays the formula in a big circle, as the wall within begins to crystallize. Just as he's about to smash it to pieces, there is a voice on the megaphone from the opposite side of the station.
PC Andyman: Come out with your hands up! We have the proximity surrounded.
Hugo: Oh crap, he's going to ruin it for us. Damon wait!
But his warning is too late. Damon kicks down the iced-wall and bursts into the room. Hugo and MarkWaldorf fly in close after, and each of them take out the armed men mid-flight. A shot is fired in the confusion, and Andyman and several other guards burst through the doors, seeing the heroes.
PC Andyman: What the-!
But the heroes immediately vanish, seemingly teleporting elsewhere.

Scene Eight:
In a disused barn on the outskirts of the town, Picto, Rory and Loukas are smoking cannabis.
Picto: And then she said...she said...wait what was I talking about?
Loukas: Err, something about a kestrel. No wait...
Just then, a uniformed man enters the barn and confronts the three.
PC AMA: Well, well.

Scene Nine:
At Annie/Princess' dormitory, the teenagers are back from lessons. As Lauren and Mark prepare dinner, Princess is sat on the sofas with Annie, Ross and Zee.
Annie: So how long have you been keeping him on the sly, you scoundrel?
Princess: Can you blame me, with your reputation for gossip?
Ross: You're dating?
Mark: Duh! So naive.
Ross: Alright, Marco.
The group laugh and Mark rolls his eyes.
Zee: Umm, we've been seeing each other for a couple of weeks.
Lauren: That's, like, a record for you Princess.
Princess: Bitch!
Mark: Ooh, burn!
Annie: Aww, so sweet. But Zee, a word of warning. Any playing away like her ex did, and I'll single-handedly remove your-
Princess: Alright, alright! Stop smothering the poor boy.
They snuggle and Ross puts on a DVD of 28 Days Later.

Scene Ten:
Back at Iceman's house, PC AMA has brought Loukas home. He is incredibly stoned, and barely coherent.
Iceman: Oh God.
Ash: Loukas, what is WRONG with you?
PC AMA: Mr and Mrs. Ice?
Ash: Yes.
PC AMA: I found your son, and two of his friends, in possession of a large supply of marijuana.
Loukas: Aaha, dad, your hair is...red...

Closing Sequence:
As Ash and Iceman look angrily at their son, "The Saturday's 'Up'" begins to play. The scene cuts to PC AMA bringing home a stoned Rory to his brother and explaining the situation, as Daren hangs his head in shame. Finally, the scene cuts to Andy's bar where Lauren is working. As she flirts again with co-worker Matt, Ross is seen looking through the window, his eyes increasingly scowling. Music fades, end of scene.
