Summary
We all think we know the story of Buzz and Lyla Grunt. How she walked out in the middle of the night, never to return.
But how did they get there? How did the serious, grouchy General Buzz Grunt marry the outgoing, playful Lyla Vandermorgan? Where did things start going so wrong that one of the most kind-hearted, loving women you'll ever meet felt the need to walk out on her family?
Through alternating perspectives, we explore the possibility that Buzz wasn't always the cold-hearted General we know him to be, perhaps even someone completely different.

Summary
For two years, the Smith family has been missing, taken in a covert Division 47 operation that no one will speak about.
Long before their disappearance, Ophelia had been secretly hiding in the Meeting House, watching Ripp from the shadows as he and Tank slowly uncover how deeply they’re caught in their father's cover‑up.
When a prank spirals out of control, and an unauthorised visit takes place, Buzz suspends Loki and Lazlo from the Science Department, leaving Loki furious and Lazlo adrift.
Ophelia finally steps out of hiding and is joined by Ripp—and eventually Tank—determined to free the Smiths, especially Johnny. At the same time, Loki races to expose Dominic Newlow’s plan to seize control of Strangetown through manipulation and mind‑altering tech, only for Lazlo to be dragged back into Loki’s orbit by a dangerous twist. When Newlow betrays Buzz as well, former colleagues collide—forced into an uneasy alliance—to take revenge on Newlow and attempt to stop his takeover before Strangetown loses its freedom forever.Series

Summary
In the 1980s, Pleasantview's golden boy, Daniel, notices the ambitious Mary-Sue for the first time. After several unsuccessful encounters, Daniel realises he can't treat her the same way he's treated girls in the past.
Their awkward encounters turn into first love, then marriage, then a life built around raising very different twin daughters and meeting the unfair expectations they placed upon themselves. But as Mary-Sue's work becomes all-consuming and Daniel feels increasingly overlooked at work and home, old insecurities resurface. Daniel's internal struggle with feelings of neglect and desire for validation drives his actions, including the affair that threatens everything they built.
Meanwhile, Daniel’s sister Jennifer quietly falls for steady, dependable John Burb, their slow‑burn romance growing into the stable marriage Daniel wishes he still had.
