            [overview] => Chris, Lynne, and Alex resign themselves to their doom on Trialviron, which would occur but for two events.  One is that the countdown to Trialviron's destruction passes before an explosion can occur.  The other is Sam's return to The Coach House a few days ahead of time.  Theta and Otto quickly tell Sam to activate the transporter, and she saves Alex, Lynne, and–just as the destruction of Trialviron is complete–Chris.   The next day is not as comparatively peaceful as one would like.  Everyone is arguing over which story should go where in the holiday edition of The Herbertville Chronicle.  Theta and Otto inform everyone that order must serve the day.  Thus Chris chairs a meeting at which everyone allows for his or her story to appear in an orderly fashion.   As a final gesture, Sam shows everyone a copy of A New Beginning, which she co-wrote with Rita over the past five months.
