   [1]Sluggy Freelance -- Torg's flashback explaining how they got to the
   ghoul universe ends up being really short, which is good, as avoiding
   weeks' worth of flashback allows us to find out that Aylee has
   Kesandru runes on the inside of her body. Ooh, interesting! Torg's
   dreams say that she's really dead, but the runes are using her ghost
   to power her massive body... a sort of soul-powered zombie, I guess.
   Seems needlessly complicated to me, so I'm not assuming Aylee's undead
   yet. As if things weren't bad enough, both of them are having dreams
   about a strange guy in a robe who's after Aylee. Hmm, I wonder... do
   you think that it could be that in this universe, Kesandru managed to
   return? I'm not sure where the ghouls come from, but it would explain
   why they aren't showing the robed guy's face, if it's really Torg's,
   and Torg did say that the events in this universe happened about five
   years ago, while the Kesandru incident happened four years ago, in
   2003.
   [2]Day by Day -- Damon and Sam are missing their significant others,
   but otherwise getting along fine. They fight less with each other than
   with Jan and Zed. Not that this keeps them completely out of trouble.
   The other person getting in trouble is Pelosi on her trip to Syria
   [3]Scary Go Round -- Amy tries to convince the witch to teach her
   magic, without much success. In the meantime, Moon gets an invitation
   from the Lord of the island, who apologizes for the sons Moon beat up.
   [4]Dominic Deegan -- Nielen flees Runcible Spoon's job offer, but it
   turns out that it was just a ruse. Miranda hasn't made her selection
   yet. While she's still trying to decide, she hears from Donovan, who
   has news from the Orc homeland. It doesn't sound good... everything
   and everyone has been destroyed.
   [5]College Roomies from Hell!!! -- Marsha corners April, and judging
   by the knife she's holding at her throat, she's not happy. I'm
   wondering how this one's going to end. It's not like Marsha's
   incapable of violence. Meanwhile, Dave and Blue are trying to get her
   Dad treatment, but Dave's attempts to explain himself aren't helping.
   [6]Schlock Mercenary -- While Kevyn hides, the others reach the edge
   of the continent, and Elf tries to convince them to turn back and take
   on Shufgar. Pronto unwisely hits on Elf, and receives a warning from
   Nick that Elf is cursed, so he doesn't want to go there. This prompts
   Elf to kiss them all, since, if they're doomed anyway, they might as
   well help her.
