What I learned doing this assignment is that I thought I knew the story that I wanted to tell but realized that I had not opened up my mind to the endless opportunities as to where this story could lead. I’m so excited to find that there is much more buried beneath to what I thought was the original story.

Eric Humble’s Episode List (Rough Draft)
What I learned doing this lesson is: that I can generate tons of ideas that can fill up an entire season and beyond. I was initially worried that both of my concepts just didn’t have enough story to make it as tv shows… but after using these techniques, I was able to brainstorm/collate more ideas that I could use in one season. It’s a rough draft and is a little too wordy for the bullet points asked, but for both concepts I’m really starting to see two shows here, which is exhilarating.
CONCEPT 1:
Episode 1: Jude discovers the cure for Catherine’s cancer is embedded in Dres’s DNA… but someone’s trying to kill Dres!
Jude skips an award dinner where he’s being honored to complete a test… and get closer to curing cancer.
Catherine is diagnosed with inoperable cancer. Jude chooses to hide this from her, believing he can get the cure developed before it’s too late.
Marks is a Big Pharma CEO whose decisions can move markets… and he wants Jude on his team. But Jude doesn’t like the idea of cures as big business.
Jude has a lead on a cure – from the DNA of a blood sample from a well-to-do businesswoman.
Jude finds the woman’s address – she’s squatting in a vacant lot. It’s Dres, a homeless con artist. Before he can question her, someone tries to kill her.
Marks is involved in a shadowy cabal – and he’s in deep shit for failing to have Dres killed.
Episode 2: Dres discovers Jude is getting kickbacks and tries to con the money out of Catherine… when together they kill an assassin who is trying to kill Dres!
Jude looks for Dres, can’t find her anywhere…
…and the trail leads him to some dangerous places in the seedy underbelly of the city.
Jude investigates the attempted killing, uncovers fringe theories about a cabal.
Dres, meanwhile, is researching Jude – and discovers he’s getting kickbacks from insurance and Big Pharma companies to slow his research.
Dres involves her partner into a plan to con Jude’s money – from Catherine.
Dres starts the con on Catherine – when another attempt is made… and Dres and Catherine kill the assassin together!
Episode 3: Jude takes Marks up on his offer to work for the Big Pharma conglomerate so that he can infiltrate the cabal.
Dres and Catherine cover up the murder using Dres’s underworld contacts.
Jude traces the rumors of the cabal to the Big Pharma company Marks works for.
Catherine falls ill and Jude gaslights her to dissuade her from going to the doctor.
Cabal Leader orders Mr. Jacques, the Europe Section Chief, to “aid” Marks in finding and killing Dres – it’s a competition.
Marks suspects he’s being watched/targeted by his own cabal.
Jude takes Marks up on his offer so that he can infiltrate the cabal.
Episode 4: Jude has to prove himself to get invited into the cabal.
Jude gets the attention of Marks and others who may or may not be involved at a conference.
Jude is contacted anonymously – with a request/threat to prove his intentions.
Jude arrives at the meet in a park after dark… where he’s instructed to destroy all his research on cancer. He does so – and gets no response from the darkness.
Jude has to announce the failure of his research at another conference – it’s a huge career hit and he is berated by Marks.
Dres wants to call off the con against Catherine, but her partner won’t let her.
Episode 5: Marks catches Jude trying to access data he shouldn’t be within the company.
Jude discovers there’s a database only available to executives at the Big Pharma company… which might give him a line on Dres.
Dres tries to head off her partner from continuing the con – but he gets to Catherine when she’s sick and vulnerable, and gets her to trust him… and shut Dres out.
Jude stages a plan to get into the database… but Marks catches him.
The cabal assassins drag Jude, bound and blindfolded, to a meeting – where the Cabal Leader interrogates him on why he’s trying to access their group.
He’s almost killed when he is saved… by Dres.
Episode 6: Dres cons Marks to learn the cabal’s secrets… so she can avenge her mother’s death!
Dres helps Jude get off-grid and recover from the beating he took. She warns him against her partner making moves on Catherine… and has learned of Marks as a way into the cabal.
Jude doesn’t understand why she would want to get closer to the cabal… and can’t ask, because she disappears again.
Jude returns to intercept Dres’s partner… only to find Catherine unconscious and needing the hospital…
…where he still won’t be truthful about what’s wrong with her.
Marks gets caught trying to access files that the Cabal Leader has locked away, has to bluff his way out. Turns out these two have a father-son, mentor-protege relationship.
Marks’s daughter is dying of MS. He’s still being watched by the cabal… has to make a move soon or he’ll be a target.
Episode 7: Jude is let into the cabal, but there’s a rigorous series of tests he must undergo to prove his loyalty to the Cabal Leader.
Jude is let into the cabal, but there’s a rigorous series of tests he must undergo to prove his loyalty to the Cabal Leader.
Marks is in a dangerous spot within the cabal, so in his public persona, he announces his intentions to enter into a deal with an emerging tech company to ensure all Big Pharma companies thrive going forward.
But he doesn’t have a deal lined up. That was just to buy him time to have Drea killed. But he has to deliver in order to have leverage with the cabal.
Dres sets herself up as a tech company genius and gets Marks’s attention… but Marks seduces her to sign the deal right away.
Dres is doing this because the same cabal that’s hunting her killed her mother… and she wants revenge.
Episode 8: Dres’ partner is accidentally killed in her stead… prompting her to return to Jude to combine forces.
Dres’s partner gets to Catherine while Jude is away being tested by the cabal, and cons her into giving him their bank account information.
He’s about to steal their money, when the cabal makes another attempt – and, thinking he is Dres, kills him.

But Jude is being indoctrinated into the cabal and can’t work in the lab until or unless his job is reinstated.

A detective comes sniffing around the trail of the dead assassin… and has linked the remains to Dres and Catherine.
Jude has to carry out his first assignment for the cabal–erase the data at his old job so no one picks up where he left off and arrives at the same conclusions.
Jude does so – but it pains him. The Cabal Leader points to the kickbacks and comfortable lifestyle he’s used to – he’s been putting profits ahead of the common good for years.
Dres takes Catherine to a museum–to shake their tail, who is either police or cabal. Here, she confesses to Catherine that she’s lived through some of the events before them. She is 100 years old and her mom was killed thirty years ago, even though she herself looks 20.
Catherine acts like she doesn’t believe her… but has memories of history a full century before that… including a fling with the Cabal Leader seventy years ago!
Episode 10: Jude discovers the cabal’s secret: they’ve known about the immortals curing cancer for 100 years – and have been systematically exterminating them to keep the business of cancer in the red.
Catherine confronts Jude about not telling her she has cancer… and it leads to a rift.
Jude is fully accepted into the cabal. They’re all global insurance and Big Pharma execs.
Jude discovers why Dres is the target: the cabal has known immortals can cure cancer for a hundred years… and have been killing them to keep the business of cancer in the red.
Cliffhanger: Catherine rekindles her romance with the Cabal Leader to find out why she’s sick – but it’s a trap to ferret out the traitor in their midst: Jude!

Module 2, Lesson 4: David Quinns Episodes
What I learned doing this assignment is that it takes effort to be precise with the layering… but it feels like it will really pay off with obsession, FUN.THE CHEAT SHEET
1. Beginning……………………………………………………………………….Season End/Cliffhanger
Question A: What is the Beginning of the season and the End of the season?
Blythe kills creatures of the night masquerading as human – for revenge. They killed her lover, Ian. Blythe is ruthless, angry, traumatized – and for reasons we don’t understand yet, only she can see the creatures hiding among the human herd.
Question B: What possible cliffhanger could be in that last scene of the season, thus demanding that we watch the next season?
A major answer rips the floor out from under Blythe’s feet: Alice James betrayed Blythe, for Ian – who is alive, the creatures never killed him; he hid from Blythe and continued his experiments, while manipulating creatures against Blythe.
2. Season 1 Mystery Set up…………………………………..………………Season 1 Mystery Solved
Question A: What is the mystery?
Why does Blythe keep remembering her lover, Ian? (PTSD) What caused the “sisterhood” to transform? Why do they want to kill Blythe?
Question B: How could the mystery be set up? What parts will be left out that must be solved?
Blythe has obsessive memories – like pieces of a complex puzzle. Early on, she relives a memory that is vivid, mysterious, painful. At a private girls school, the students sneak into a pool at night for a vicious game of sharks, the water war game. This was what the creatures once were – students at Ian’s school.
Through the season, the questions simmer: Why does Blythe keep remembering her lover, Ian? (PTSD) What caused the “sisterhood” to transform? Why do they want to kill Blythe?
Question C: What it the ultimate solution that the characters must work to discover?
Ian is alive, in hiding, and manipulating everyone – how does this awareness change everything Blythe knows, feels and does?
3. Journey begins……………………………………………………….Journey peaks, but continues.
Question A: Where does the Lead Character journey begin and end for this season?
Blythe begins wounded and obsessed with righteous revenge – and ends knowing she has been betrayed and misled, which confuses and torments her.
Question B: Think about where this character goes in future seasons. That might give you an idea also.
Ultimately, she will face painful truths, but accept herself and claim her own agency and peace.
4. ……Layer….…Layer………Layer………Layer………Layer………Layer………Layer……Layer
Question A: What layers have you already discovered in your BW Framework?
PLOT LAYERS – Story beneath the story.
How many will Blythe kill? What collateral damage? And when she finally faces Ian, what?

Betrayals– Ian manipulates Blythe’s sister creatures, manipulates her; Alice James betrays Blythe
CHARACTER LAYERS – identity beneath the identity.
Secrets – Ian, Alice James, Blythe – all wounded; all hide need to be loved ; Ian nurses failure’s shame
Blythe surrenders to ruthlessness – collides with her own humanity and its loss
Character intrigue – Ian’s manipulations endanger Blythe; would he let her be destroyed? Ian / Blythe – Adversarial love, fight for dominance
Hidden relationships and conspiracies – Blythe attempts to use Alice James / risks her own downfall
Hidden Character history – Ian and Blythe both need love; Blythe hides secret empathy
Question B: Are there any other layers that you could think of?
Ever since they used to compete at sharks midnights in the school pool, Blythe was always the last to be caught and killed, brought to the surface and forced to breathe. In the final layer, Blythe will make peace with her place with the sisterhood and lead them to something new.
5. Make a list of the Major Story Lines.

Rafal’s Episode List Rough Draft
What I learned doing this assignment is that the more complicated are the assignments the more I need to work on it in my native language. Later I will translate. Also I learned to write down even the ideas that seem to me weak, because when I read them later on, they appear to be just a step to a better idea. I understand now better why Hal emphases so much the importance of the easy way of doing the assignments.
Ep. 1 – Chora Arkadia gotowa na śmierć decyduje się żyć, żeby ratować Krysię
Ep. 2. – Konkurencyjne metody leczenia. Arkadia potajemnie przed Mateuszem odrzuca jego leczenie i stara się zinfiltrować Krysi kontakty z terapeutą. Przewiduje, że za namową Mateusza Krysia dostanie blokery dojrzewania, zna tego psychoterapeutę. Postanawia powstrzymać ją, bo to oni powinni się leczyć, a nie ona za ich zaniedbania.
Ep. 3. – Akcja karania rodziców za kłamstwo przeprowadzona przez Krysię z inspiracji Arkadii. To pasuje Krysi, wreszcie ma poczucie misji, bo sposób zarządzania szpitalem przez rodziców przyczynia się do niszczenia klimatu. Arkadia próbuje przyhamować Krysię, ale ona widzi w tym brak zrozumienia. Uważa, że jest uwięzionym w ciele dziewczyny homoseksualistą. Ich akcja powoduje straty szpitala.
Ep. 4. – Wojna Arkadii z psychoterapeutką Krysi napędzana wyrzutami sumienia w sprawie dawnej pacjentki. Krysia żąda szczerości i Arkadia przyznaje się do własnego błędu lekarskiego motywowanego odsuwaniem ryzyka biznesowego. Backstory jej biedy i ambicji materialnych. Prosi Krysię o pomoc w jego naprawieniu przez co zyskuje sympatię wnuczki.
Ep. 5 – Nowa metoda leczenia Arkadii przynosi kryzys zdrowia. Kontratak Mateusza o metodę leczenia. Proces Krysi przeciw rodzicom o ustalenie płci, zamienia się w walkę.
Ep. 6 – Arkadia czuje się lepiej. Instruuje Krysię jak przeprowadzić śledztwo w sprawie relacji Mateusza i Ewy. Arkadia wspomaga odbudowanie relacji Krysi i jej chłopaka. Nelly przyjmuje tą samą metodę co Arkadia, odrzuca leczenie Mateusza. Arkadia tego nie zaleca. Zaczynaja się tym interesować inne pacjentki.
Ep. 7 – Arkadia tuż przed Krysią odkrywa, że małżeństwo jej rodziców jest fasadowe i czekają na śmierć Arkadii, a Ewa praktycznie już większość czasu spędza ze swym nowym partnerem. Próbuje to jednak ukryć przed Krysią.
Ep. 8 Arkadia oskarża Mateusza, że nie walczy o swoją rodzine tylko zajmuje się szpitalem i przez to Krysia ma problemy, bo on żyje w wyparciu. Ale Mateusz oskarża Arkadię o pełne zakłamanie (rodzina zmarłej pacjentki wytoczyła sprawę sądową, a ile rodzin zmarłych tego nie zrobiło, a szpital pod kierownictwem Arkadii zarabiał na nieefektywnym leczeniu pacjentów)
