The Legend of Tomorrow :: Episode 4

When we last left the residents

of the sleepy town of Tomorrow,

Helen and Lovelace were having a show down in the woods

while Mindy suffered alone in a dark ally

after being run down by Helen's horse.

After a heated argument

where Helen confronted Lovelace

of his intentions to leave her for Mindy,

the couple came to their senses

and realized they were more powerful

together than apart.

They fled to the town

of Yesterday to rob banks

and start a life on the run.

Many years passed,

and everyone in town

assumed that Mindy had run off with Lovelace.

She had really pulled herself up from the ground and ran

two towns back to a place called The Day After Yesterday

where she finished out her pregnancy in seclusion.

She raised her daughter, Sally

as a single mom.

Working two shifts at the Hunter's Lodge

and barely making enough to scrape by.

After struggling for years,

she decided to best thing

would be to return to Tomorrow

and drop Sally off at the local church.

She had little choice,

so she moved in the cloak of night,

darkness enveloping her shame.

But the town gossip, Vicky happened by on her sled

and couldn't believe her eyes when she saw

Mindy and Sally.

The child was a mirror image of Corbin.

She moved fast to the town square

to share the news.

Trudy and Corbin

were devastated when Mindy

never showed up for her surprise party.

They found comfort in each other

and fell in love.

The two paid a visit to the square every year

on the same day to lament Mindy.

This year would be different

as Vicky shared the news of seeing

Mindy leave Sally at the church

before leaving town.

Shocked, Corbin dumped Trudy

and ran to the arms of his little girl.

She reminded him so of Mindy

and he just couldn't stay a moment longer with Trudy.

His heart belonged to Mindy and Sally.

Heartbroken, Trudy packed up previsions

and hopped onto a canoe,

paddling put into the icy waters,

her tears freezing on her cheeks.

to leave the town of Tomorrow.

But a snowstorm was heading her way!

Meanwhile, news was spreading fast

that Lovelace and Helen had been up

to things far more sinister than robbing banks.

Tune in next year to find out...

Does Corbin find Mindy?

Will Trudy make it out there in the cold world?

What are Lovelace and Helen up to?

The Legend of Tomorrow :: Episode 3

When we last left the residents

of the sleepy town of Tomorrow,

Helen had just been given a vial of poison

to use on her philandering husband, Lovelace

and his suspected mistress, Mindy.

As she rode through the town square,

Helen saw Mindy up ahead

and in a fit of passion, kicked her horse into

a frenzy and he barrelled through town towards her nemesis.

Her horse chased Mindy down a secluded alley

and trampled her to the ground.

She fell over without the slightest scream.

Corbin's baby would surely be lost now.

In a panic, Helen fled the Village of Tomorrow

and left Mindy alone, suffering in isolation.

Hours later, when Lovelace couldn't find Mindy,

he ventured out into the woods to see

if she'd escaped to clear her mind.

He wanted her to move to the town

of Yesterday with him with all of his heart.

He searched well into the night.

Meanwhile, Helen had fled in

such a hurry that she mistakingly

dropped the vial of poison in the snow.

Little Lucy Smith happened upon it

and thought that it was fruit juice,

drinking down the poison in one gulp.

Her knees buckled and she fell to the snow,

the world spinning as she tried to focus her eyes.

Even the ducks were worried about her.

The next morning, a crowd had gathered

in the town square at the request of Corbin and Trudy.

It was Mindy's birthday and they had organized

an awesome party but Mindy never arrived to

hear them shout "Surprsie!"

It had all been a horrible mistake.

Helen and Lovelace happened upon each other in the woods.

She reached into her pocket for the vial of poison

and realized it was no longer in her pocket.

Lovelace pretended to be excited to see her

but kept one hand on the pistol in his pocket.

He would marry Mindy

even if it meant ending Helen.

Only one of them would leave the woods alive!

Tune in next time to find out...

Did Mindy lose Corbin's baby?

Would little Lucy Smith survive?

Could the guests return all of Mindy's birthday presents for a full refund?

Who survives in the fight between Helen and Lovelace?

All of this and more will be revealed on the next episode of

The Village of Tomorrow.

The Legend of Tomorrow :: Episode 2

When we last left Mindy,

she was seeking solace at The Hunter's Tavern

after seeing her ex-boyfriend, Corbin

tightening the laces on her sister, Trudy's ice skates

in the middle of the town square.

She knew better than to drink away her worries,

there was a slight chance that she was carrying Corbin's child.

Instead, she wandered over to the cafe and ate two pancake specials,
with bacon, a side of hashbrowns, a biscuit, a slice of apple pie,
and drank 6 cups of coffee.

She was always an emotional eater.

As she walked home with an upset stomach

and a broken heart, she happened upon Mr. Lovelace.

She took a step back, they had always loved each other from afar

but he was engaged to Helen, Mindy's arch enemy.

Mindy knew better than to get tangled up with Lovelace.

Yet, her heart raced beneath her heaving chest as they spoke.

Helen happened upon the two talking,

her heart stopped because she knew that

Lovelace had always carried a torch for Mindy.

As she hid behind a snow covered tree,

she heard the dreaded words escape Lovelace's mouth;

"Mindy, forget Corbin. You know that I've always loved you."

Helen's tears froze on her cheeks

as she hurried to the town medium, Zelda for advice.

She told her that the only way to stop

Mindy and Lovelace would be to destroy both of them.

She gave her a vile of poison to do with what she saw fit.

Mindy had fled from Lovelace,

her heart was shattered by Corbin

and she knew she would never love again.

Lovelace came to her in the night,

declaring his love and begging her to run away

with him to the town of Yesterday, which

was two towns over.

They could get jobs and live on love.

Meanwhile, back in the town square,

Corbin leaned in closer to Trudy

as they planned a surprise birthday party for Mindy.

He missed her so and Trudy was a great party planner.

The two spoke in whispers as they made plans.

It was all a huge misunderstanding.

Tune in next time to find out...

will Helen poison Lovelace?

Will Mindy move to the town of Yesterday with Lovelace?

Was she carrying Corbin's baby?

Would she find out about the surprise the party?

All of this and more will be revealed on the next episode of

The Village of Tomorrow.

The Legend of Tomorrow :: Episode 1

This is a rerun of 2011's

first episode of the Legend of Tomorrow.

Tune in here tomorrow

for the next episode of drama

and intrigue.

Will Mindy confront Trudy

for stealing Corbin?

Did Mindy go on a bender at the Hunter's Tavern?

*********************************************************************

In a small valley lies
a quaint village named Tomorrow.
Where the lights twinkle by night
and passion simmers in the light of day.

In the center of town you will find
Lovers Park where residents mingle
and hearts break from day to day.

On this cold winter afternoon
all seems well within the village,
yet a heartbroken young lady
by the name of Mindy is going for
an innocent stroll.

Little does she know that
disaster awaits behind the park gate.

There she spied her ex-lover, Corbin
tightening the laces of another lady's ice skates.

Her spirit dropped as she was already mending
a broken heart from Corbin leaving her
only days before.

She had suspected there was another woman.

She quickly hid behind the topiary
as to not be seen by the couple.
It was then she saw that the other woman
was none other than her sister Trudy.

How could they do this to her?
The display of public affection
sent her spiraling out of control
with wild rage and passion.

She found herself at the Hunter's Tavern.
The last time she went on a bender at the tavern
she ended up flipping tables
and making out with Noah the cute bartender.
That had been years ago.

Could she drown her worries in ale?
In her heart she knew
that it was a bad idea.

After all, she was carrying Corbin's baby!
