   [1]Sluggy Freelance -- When the apartment over Torg's vacates, there's
   a game of musical apartments as everyone rushes to vacate Torg's.
   Unfortunately, Zoe and Gwynn beat Torg to it, and then trade it to
   Monica, who is, as always, after Riff. What no one realizes at the
   time is that Monica isn't in love with Riff--she's working for the
   K'z'k team, and she's there to keep an eye on Torg and company. Yikes!
   Since then, Torg Potter and the Goblet of Gibblets has begun. Once
   again, Torg's at Hogglerynth, trying to survive being illegally
   entered in the tri-gizzard tournament. What's worse, Millard Stoop,
   Mr. You-Probably-Don't-Know-Who, is back. Torg wants to know why he
   ended up in this mess, how come nobody remembered who Millard Stoop
   was until recently, and why he has to be the decoy for the real Torg
   Potter. Fortunately, he has Homogenize and Weaslo to help him out.
   [2]Day by Day -- Damon's voting Obama, mainly because he thinks that
   his very left-wing agenda will make it possible for the Republicans to
   win next time. Next, Obama's middle name becomes an issue, especially
   when it's out-of-bounds to use it. Democrats are dealing with their
   delegate selection process, which involves a bit of the chickens
   coming home to roost. Then there's a lot of Damon's and Jan's podcast,
   including the "Screeching Inversion," the theory that yelling without
   facts doesn't help the cause. Hmm, I'd say that's a pretty accurate
   way to look at it. Obama's church issues is also fair game. And
   there's even a mention of Fitna.
   [3]Scary Go Round -- Despite Ryan's protests, the smear campaign
   against Amy goes well enough to get her store burned down. Lovelace
   goes in to save Melanie, but when he fails to return, Ryan has to do
   the saving. Everyone assumes he dies, but we later find out that his
   pal was the one who set the fire, and he used it as cover to steal
   Amy's novelty dishware. Yikes, he's not such a good guy after all.The
   Boy is visiting France, where he meets up with his old penpal, the
   French girl who originally gave him the "boy" moniker. He still hasn't
   quite gotten over that. In the meanwhile, France is in the midst of an
   Easter crisis, as they've replaced their culturally unique bell with
   the Americanized Easter Bunny. Except that this particular Easter
   Bunny is awfully big and has really sharp teeth.
   [4]Dominic Deegan -- Dominic's mom, master of illusion, captures the
   Oracle Hunter, who turns out to be Luna's sister, Barnet. Dominic
   questions her, trying to find out who hired her, but he doesn't learn
   much. Then Celesto shows up to repay Dominic by destroying Barnet's
   psyche, and now it's up to Dominic to dive into her mind to save her.
   Yikes, he never gets a break, does he?
   [5]College Roomies from Hell!!! -- Blue's concerned over Dave's
   disappearance, so she's taking measures to find him, including
   interrogating her brother, Louis. Dave himself is dreaming about his
   high school days as a peeping tom. Shame on him! Margaret caught onto
   him and was about to lay the smack down when her house exploded. Hmm,
   it looks like Dave was there for the whole thing. I'm not sure what
   those guys in the helmet are all about, but perhaps that's just the
   now-reality intruding on the dream-reality, as it looks like Damascus
   has him.
   [6]Schlock Mercenary -- Petey's been double-crossed, as the memory
   alteration given to Tagon's crew makes them think he abandoned them.
   They're doing all right, at least until Tagon overpays them, and the
   majority of his non-human mercenaries decide to retire. Of course,
   mercenaries living long enough to retire, and making enough money to
   retire early, serves as great advertising, and there's no shortage of
   new recruits, including a young roboticist who has quite a reputation
   with the robots.
