Part 3: What is happening in “The Event”?
(Welcome to The Event…if you’re just joining us, it might be best to go back to Part 1. Or not. Really, we are all pretty much lost by this point)
PLOT 3: The President is well loved. He has a wife and a son and they are throwing a party. All his pals are around him and he’s having a great time.
Until someone tries to crash a plane into his fancy party. What the hell? Am I right?
The President doesn’t know there are aliens until a 747 disappears right before his eyes. Then the people hiding it have to reveal there are aliens.
Mr. Pres is appalled at how they are treated at first. What? You captured aliens and have kept them prisoner for 60 years? How could you? Thats horrible!
So he goes up to Alaska cause he has to see for himself that all this is true. He meets Sophia and she convinces him to release her because she’s a good person. Oh also because her son is threatening the president and she’s the only one that can stop him.
Here is the deal: What I thought was the old rich dude kidnapped the pilots daughter so that he could crash the plane into the president. Sophias son helps out somehow by making the airplane disappear but then tells the president that “He could do something like that again if the President doesn’t release all the aliens”. But then I am realizing doesn’t the old rich dude not like the aliens? Isn’t he there to protect the planet from them? SO WHY/HOW DOES THE OPENING SEQUENCE HAPPEN?
Anyway. Sophia tries to stop her son, but then gets on the bad side of the President because she does something horrible that I can’t remember. And this is the worst possible thing because the President is now out for blood revenge. How DARE she lie to him!
He is then prejudice against all aliens and is convinced by a senator to do a White House blood test to see who is an alien and who isn’t.
SideBar: The guy who is an alien and works for the President, gets them to think this other guy is him and so no one suspects him.
The Presidents wife refuses to get tested out of morality reasons, but really it’s cause she’s an alien and we know that because they do a lot of close ups of her suspicious face. She then convinces the President that she doesn’t want to get tested because her parents are illegal immigrants from the Dominican Republic and she didn’t want him to find that out…BY TESTING HER BLOOD. He believes her. All is well.
By this point we’ve found out that the Vice-President was in on the airplane plot. No one but us know that he is being threatened by people to do these things and therefore everyone hates and doesn’t trust him. This isn’t very nice because all he wants to do is make America the best it can be.
Sophia takes advantage of this weakness and tells the vice-pres that he should be President cause he’d make such a great one. She convinces him to poison the Pres with sugar/poison in his coffee.
The poisoning finally happens after 25 minutes of tense music and commercial breaks.
As the President is collapsing everyone is freaking out. He immediately looks at the Vice Pres who is doing a great job acting surprised. They take him to the hospital and right before he goes into a coma he tells his Chief of Security (or something) that he noticed the vice-president and it “had to be him”.
Let me just say that I know this is a TV show. But come on. If anyone suffered multiple strokes and a heart attack, they don’t “notice” anything, let alone a suspicious look.
Then they spend a whole 50 minute episode with the VP trying to become P. The Chief of Security and his friend try and stop him. A WHOLE 50 minute episode devoted to this. Only to have the VP sworn in and the Pres in a coma.
VP is now doing whatever Sophia says. For example, the virus on the plane that Sean and Rogue tried to stop? They almost did. In fact the plane was about to be landed by security jets, but the VP/P told them to back off.
Also, he tells them to turn a satellite around to not look at Tibet.
The Chief of Security is fired by the VP/P and he is contacted by the Alien (who used to work for the Pres and then escaped the alien compound…remember?) who has an ANTIDOTE for the President. whoopee.
They get together to get the antidote to the Presidents wife. They meet in a warehouse and the VP/P is following them on the super awesome tracking system. The VP/P is so scared by now that everyone will find out he poisoned the President, that he orders jets to come and bomb the warehouse. You know, no big deal or anything.
The wife does get the antidote and administers it to the President who, after only 3 hours, walks to the White House and demands his job back.
Once he gets his job back he finds Sophia using their super awesome tracking system.
Tension builds as he finds out there is a virus about to be released in a mall (not the Mall of America)!!! Not only that, but they have turned back around the satellite over Tibet and there is some weird glowing coming out of the ground!
To be concluded in PART 4.
