The Adventures of Tod and Copper
Season one Episode eighteen: Brother of his Own Mind
The page of a book was shown with two fox's, one red and one blue, fighting to death in a brutal fashion. "Many years ago. Two races of fox's were at war. (The page expanded to show the rest of the army fighting each other) The red colored foxes, and the blue colored foxes. (The page turns to show the red foxes prevailing) The red fox army succeeded in the end. (A blue fox is shown running away with a red fox) But little did they know that one of each of their clans grew quite fond of each other. The red one, Alia. The blue one, Farius."
Alia and Farius were shown on the next page as the blue fox tried to negotiate with his King. "Farius thought since he was the most well renowned members of his clan due to everything he's done, which is told in other stories by the way, that he could reason with his leader, but the leader refused. (The King of Farius's people clan is shown spreading darkness over a town) The King spread darkness all over the land and forced his minions to fight back, forcing Farius to do something drastic."
Farius was shown in the next page with him placing a sword into some kind of rock. "So Farius did what he had to do, and sent the ones who refused to listen to reason away. (Farius was shown kissing the Alia goodbye with both of them crying) Although he had to leave his wife, and their children, he was willing to do what he knew would hurt him for the sake of his family. (Alia is shown looking over a book of all the amazing things her husband's done) To protect her children, Alia hid the truth of their father from them for the time being."
A page showed the Alia looking at her children as they were in some kind of farm house, with the oldest reading, the second oldest carrying a hay stack, and the youngest two, supposedly being twins, sitting on the haystacks, with the red fox holding a basketball and spinning it on her finger and the blue one laying on the hay stack the second oldest was carrying. "She'd hoped the truth would come someday. When they were ready. And that truth...has now come" The screen faded to black, ending the backstory.
Soft rock music played as a young Tod woke up in his bedroom and looked outside at the vast open world awaiting him as a male voice sang Vast Open World. "Hello there, why ya crying? It'll be, okay I promise. (Tod is shown with optimistic smile as he jumps out the window) I'm sure you'll someday find your fa-ted bliss." Tod was shown running through the forest as he looks around and enjoys the scenery, catching a vine in his mouth and swinging on it. As he landed perfectly, he saw Copper sniffing and became curious.
Tod is shown on the top of the log with the Copper coming on the other end and sniffing some more. "Hey there. (The Copper sniffs up to Tod and sees that what he was sniffing was him) I think our newfound friendship was destiny. (Tod and Copper are shown walking around the forest and getting to know each other) Hey there. (Copper laughs at a joke from Tod) Even though we aren't the same, you and me."
Tod and Copper are shown climbing a tree with the fix kit saving the Bloodhound as he's about to fall off. "Hey there. (Copper continues climbing with Tod helping him do so easier) I just know this friendship will never fade away. (Tod and Copper arrive at the top of the tree and sit on the top branch) Hey there. Hey there."
Tod was shown riding a horse with the assistance of Tyler. "Even though we don't have the same lifestyles. (Terra is shown skating away from a Hairless Mexican Dog while holding a sausage and blowing a raspberry at them) I would travel with you alone for miles. (Danny is shown looking at a cookie jar while on top of the fridge with a mischievous look on his face) We'll always be here so we'll share our laughter."
Alia was shown grabbing Danny from the fridge and scolding him softly as he tries to break free. "I know all of us can take anything and (Tod is shown sneaking Copper out of his bedroom while standing on a ladder) I know, we can strive, for our peace and harmony thrive (The fox kit is shown running into a dark force with Copper and they walk up to it) Even if, it gets tough, we'll survive, and save them all, (Tod and Copper are shown running away from the dark force) Hello there, why ya crying? It'll be, okay I promise."
Tod is shown protecting Copper from the dark force and striking it in the heart with a rock. "I'm sure you'll someday find your fa-ted bliss. (Tod sees that there's a Vixey in there and pulls them out) Yeah, yeah, yeah. (Vixey is shown to be crying with the male fox kit wiping her tear) Don't say goodbye." Tod is shown with his friends and siblings as they group up with a gray wolf pup shown leaning on a tree and looking at them from a high point in a tree, seeming to be rather lonely as the music ends.
Tyler was reading a history book of sorts while sitting across from Adalard in the town's diner, which was called the Four Slices. Adalard got a good look at what Tyler was reading and saw that it was on something Farius did, involving some kind of mythical creature and Alia. "Farius and the Mind smashing Gypsy."
"It's my favorite of the legends of him." Tyler explained, having quite a fondness for Farius's tales in general. "I can see why Tod's favorite is the one where Farius defeated a demon King all on his own, but this one I feel highlights Farius's more strategic side, and shows more to him than being a hardcore villain slayer."
"Oh, that's cool. I've never read much about Farius." Tyler was shocked to hear this with Adalard explaining why that was. "I mean, I read the one with that snake who poisoned random foxes, but I fell asleep as soon as they got to the part where he turned into a ninja snake."
Tyler was well aware of that book, having to admit that he didn't find certain Farius's journeys as exciting as the others. "You just found a bad copy." Tyler opened up his backpack and handed Adalard the first issue. "This is when he meets Alia and learns more about red foxes. He may be a kid in this, but he's still lots of fun." Adalard felt it wouldn't hurt to read this with a waitress tripping over some kind of loose board with Tyler and Adalard noticing. When Tyler reached out, he suddenly stopped the waitress's fall, much to his surprise. "Whoa."
Tyler helped the waitress up, much to her surprise with everyone looking at Tyler in amazement as the waitress psoke up. "Thanks kid. I have no idea what that wizard power of yours was, but since you used it to save me, I won't run away in fear." The waitress set down Tyler and Adalard's food, walking off with relief. "Enjoy." Tyler looked at his paw with Adalard wanting to know what that was all about, hoping Tyler had an idea as to where it came from.
Tyler and Adalard were in Adalard's apartment, which was pretty close to Vixey's, as Adalard was then shown looking hard at Tyler's paw. He didn't see any kind of difference from now and before Tyler had his strange power, making Adalard confused as to what just happened. "I don't get it Tyler. If there wasn't any sort of change to your paw then how did you stop the waitress from falling?"
Tyler wasn't sure why his power decided to kick in now, but he DID know where it came from. "For the timing I can't say. But I think I know where it came from." Adalard gave Tyler his full attention, knowing quite well that he wouldn't lie to him. "See, me and my family are all related to Farius. That's probably why we're so fond of his legend." Adalard was amazed to hear about this with Tyler smirking. "Funny. I thought you were bored of his legends."
"It has it's limits. You just found one." Adalard confirmed, much to Tyler's delight as Adalard spoke about what he just learned. "Wow. All this time I never would've suspected that my best friend is the son of a legendary hero! You have to tell me more!"
Tyler wasn't sure where to start with giving Adalard the details he already knew about. He couldn't just tell him about his siblings powers without their consent, even if Adalard already knew where they came from. But he also knew he couldn't lie to him about anything either. He decided to just give him the details he knew he could spread. "Well I can't explain everything right now, but I CAN tell you that we could've also inherited our powers from our mother, rather than just from our father."
Adalard nodded in understanding, knowing quite well that he would be able to keep up with more context. "Okay, that works. I'm guessing you don't wanna tell me what your siblings powers are yet."
"I'd prefer it if I had their consent before I mentioned them, yes." Tyler informed Adalard, wanting to respect his siblings wishes. "But it's not completely off the table for you to learn about them. And I don't think Tod would mind telling you his, since he's had his for the longest, and I can see him being the most open about it." Adalard was quite familiar with what Tod was like, knowing he wouldn't be cautious about this sort of thing. "Just try not to peer pressure him, okay?"
"I won't, trust me." Adalard assured Tyler, knowing he couldn't force Tod to talk about his power. "If I wanted to peer pressure him, you would know." Tyler saw Adalard's point and hoped that this wouldn't have a negative impact on the family.
Tyler was demonstrating his power to his family by lifting up the coffee table carefully and with precision. This amazed Tod and the others with Tod being especially amazed by what he was seeing, dashing up to Tyler after he set the coffee table down. "So you can manipulate objects now!? That's so cool! Does that mean you can fly and stuff!?"
Tyler chuckled a bit, not being too familiar with his power to justify answering that question yet. "Sorry Tod. The power was a surprise to me, so I don't know what else I can do with it yet." Tod felt a bit bummed out by that as Tyler then started lifting him up, making him laugh as he looked at the ground. "I can do that just fine though."
Copper was worried about what would happen to Tod in that position, getting the feeling that Tyler hasn't lifted too many life forms. "Are you sure Tod's safe up there Copper? Inanimate objects and actual lives are two completely different things."
"I'm sure he's fine Copper." Tyler assured Copper, telling him how he discovered his power as well. "I even used it on that waitress at Four Slices and she was fine in the end." Copper was relieved to hear that with Tyler being confident in Tod's durability. "And even if that wasn't the case, I think Tod would still be durable enough to survive this unharmed." Tod was shown pretending to be an airplane with Tyler laughing at his huge mind going fast.
Tyler was in his room, which had a bunch of books and notes for his future and what his career would be after he graduated from college. It wasn't anything amazing, but it was something he could suffice with, especially since it was big enough for him to plan for everything. He was currently on his computer as he looked up what his power meant, finding something that made him smile. "Huh. Says here that these powers tell me I'm the smartest in the family. Well the internet can't be right about everything, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was right."
Tyler looked further into the article, finding that if he kept working on getting his power to the very limit, he would be able to move even the heaviest of objects. He decided to test his power on his bed, lifting it up a little bit, but putting it down right after. "Probably shouldn't take any major risks." Tyler opened his window with his power and thought about how he'd use it, now that he knew he had it of course. "Just gotta hope I don't use this for evil in the future."
There was a knock on Tyler's door, and he opened it with his power with Tod coming in and seeing him still in his chair, grinning at what he just noticed. "You gonna become a room bum or something? Cause I'm not bringing your snacks." Tyler rolled his eyes while smiling as Tod asked his question. "So Tyler, since grown ups grow from kids, and only grown ups have babies, most of the time anyway, who had the first baby?"
Tyler was surprised to hear that question, finding that it was something to look into. "That's a good question Tod. I wish I had an answer for you." Tyler turned around and started looking up the question, finding the answer to be not so shocking. "Yep. no helpful results."
Tyler was at dinner with his siblings as he took notice to Tod eating his food like a slob again. Tyler then felt another sense of his power that surprised him. 'I hope mom's food is my last meal. I know she'll die before me, but I think I can manage with such a smart brother like Tyler.'
Tyler leaned over to Tod with a smile, whispering into his ears with delight. "I think I see a time machine coming your way." Tod felt even more happy with that and continued eating as Tyler thought about this new power. 'Better get to work on controlling that little note in my power too. Who knows what I could hear with it if I learned how to use it from long distance.'
Alia got the sense that Tyler just learned something else about his power, knowing he was playing it smart with this one. She decided to play around with it a bit and thought something so Tyler could hear it from afar. 'So Tyler, what else did you lear about this little power of yours? Wait, don't tell me yet. After school tomorrow.'
Tyler was surprised by this and chuckled a bit, eating his food as he focused on figuring out how to control this power. He knew it'd be a challenge as Tod whispered to him with a random guess in mind. "You heard my wish to make a time machine, right?"
Tyler nodded in response, looking at Copper, who was quite confident about Tyler's power. "Ya know Tyler, I think your power could be the best to gain the full power of super fast. You're the oldest of your siblings, so you have to be adapting to it the easiest." Tyler thought that theory made a lot of sense with Terra not taking kindly to it due to her interpretation.
Terra slammed her paws on the table as she looked at Copper, wanting to know what he meant by his statement. "What are you getting at?" Copper was surprised by the sudden tone Terra was giving her, leaning closer to him as she spoke up. "You think just because we're younger we can't adapt as well?"
Copper got what Terra was getting at and corrected her thoughts the best way he could. "No, not at all. I just meant that since Tyler is the oldest he adapts the fastest to this sort of thing due to having the most knowledge."
Terra sat down, continuing to eat with Copper's words being stated as Tyler continued to speak about his power. "I'm actually not sure why my power arrived at the time it did. In any logical sense it would've arrived in a different scenario than a falling waitress." The others did have to admit that the timing seemed odd with Tyler getting a good idea on what his power would do for the future. "Still, do you guys have any idea what this power could do for everyone? I could sense the villains plans before they even explain them. I could stop robbery's before they even happen!"
"The second one might not be able to happen in town, since we don't have a bank." Danny responded, and hten he thought for a moment. "Mom, do we have a bank?"
"Where did you think I stored my money?" Alia asked, leaving Danny to wonder why he didn't know this before. "Also, just so you all know, for your eighteenth birthday I'm getting you all a bank account. I'm really close with the teacher in my cooking class, and he's super rich, so I ca get you all hooked up no problem. The price is like a one dollar bill to her."
Tod started thinking about what it would be like to have a bank account, hoping it was something cool. "Should be awesome." Alia was glad to hear that, knowing Tod would be excited for pretty much anything nowadays.
Alia was driving Tod, Copper, and Tod's siblings to school with Tod asking Tyler more about his power. "And if you can read minds with that thing, does that mean you can read the minds of someone from long distance?" Tyler shrugged, not sure if he was actually capable of that with Tod getting excited upon the mystery. "Try it! See if Chief's thinking about something right now. I bet he's gushing about his guns again."
Tyler tried to read Chief's mind but couldn't get a good enough signal, instead just getting Tod's signal again. 'He's so gonna get this.' Tyler tried even harder, but ended up eventually straining a bit too much and released a three second fart, letting out a green cloud with the scent of bacon (pffffft). Tyler flinched and blushed a bit from the fart with Terra hi fiving him for it and Danny snickering as Copper plugged his nose with Tod thinking something again. 'Or...maybe not. At least he finally had an on screen fart though.'
Tyler laughed a bit at what he just heard Tod think, finding it to be quite the childish one indeed. "I don't think it's an accomplishment for me to fart Tod."
Tod shrugged and thought about whether or not Tyler actually could read other people's minds. "Ya know, you've only read my mind so far. Why don't you try someone else's? Copper's gotta have a lot of cool thoughts."
Tyler looked at Copper and hoped he would be okay with it, leaving Copper to smile in response. "Go ahead. I've got nothing to hide." Tyler nodded and read Copper's mind with Copper thinking about something that impressed him. 'I hope I get a cool power like Tod's or Tyler's someday. Then I can be of good use against Signal and whatever we face after that.'
Tyler smiled in response, glad to see that Copper wanted to be a good help to the team with Tod asking as they all got out of the car. "What'd you hear?"
"Let's just say Copper won't be disloyal to you for any period of your life." Tyler assured Tod, making him smile with immense joy at the fact that he would be friends with Copper forever.
Tyler was sitting with Adalard at lunch as Adalard was shown to be reading the book Tyler lent him, much to his joy. "You're liking the series now, huh?" Adalard nodded in response, being glad that Tyler convinced him to read the books. Even if it didn't take too much effort. "Farius and the two fox breeds. A classic to be told for many generations to come." Adalard rolled his eyes while smiling at Tyler's poetic change. "Do tell my good friend. If you ever read the second issue, do you believe there's a chance you will need a tissue?"
"Maybe. The fact that their parents are so prejudice towards this thing makes me kinda sad in some areas." Adalard admitted, revealing that the book was able to hit him in the gut in a sense. "I'm assuming you have every issue of this series." Tyler nodded his head yes, satisfying Adalard quite a bit. "Good. I'm almost done with this one, so that'll come in handy." Adalard then ahd a question in mind regarding Tyler's power. "Do you really think Farius has anything to do with your power?"
Tyler wasn't sure how to answer that, feeling he should get a bit more context before answering. "What do you mean?"
"Well his origin story isn't anything that indicates him having multiple powers, it just says he'll do great things in the future." Adalard pointed out, not sure if that was the indication the book was going for. "And even if he got his powers later on in the book, it begs the question of why they didn't just give them to him now. They've put themselves into the risk of being contrived when they reveal it for real."
Tyler was surprised to see this being taken so critically by Adalard, but he was also glad to see that he enjoyed the story enough to make these points. "You know this is the real story of Farius, right? I mean, if it wasn't then I wouldn't have been born and-"
"But how did he write them?" Adalard interrupted, finding that perhaps there was more to this story than just simple writing. "Think about it Tyler. Farius is the only one who's still around that's still alive in his family that knows of his tale, right? How can these be the real story?"
Tyler saw Adalard's point, but didn't see the stories as fake quite yet, and instead as something else. "Maybe they were written before he vanished." Adalard thought Tyler's point was something to look into, hoping it wasn't anything too sad for his friend to take.
Tod was talking to Vixey on the phone as he was walking up the stairs, seeming to be discussing the trip they would be taking soon. "Don't worry babe. I talked to my mom already, and she's perfectly fine with the fact that you could only get four tickets. Besides, with my power, I'll be able to defend us against any threat that comes our way." Tod listened a bit more and saw Tyler in his room looking something up, curious as to what it was. "Anyway, I'll call you tomorrow and we can make plans for the trip. See ya then."
Tod hung up and walked into Tyler's room, much to his joy as he saw him walk up to his desk. "Oh, Tod. Just the one I wanted to see." Tod was glad to hear that with Tyler allowing him to jump up onto his chair. "So Tod, if someone told you that Farius's stories couldn't have been written by him, what would you say?"
Tod thought for a moment, having never been asked that question until now, but having the right answer for it. "Honestly, I'd just say his parents probably wrote every trace of his story to before he and mom were on their own." Tyler saw that as a possible fact with Tod then stating something else. "And after his parents died, they passed it on to mom, who finished the last story, which had them living together until he had to leave after Terra and Danny were born."
Tyler hoped Tod's point was the case, not wanting to feel disheartened by their father's stories somehow being fake. "I'd expect you to have that optimistic point of view." Tyler rubbed Tod's head as he then asked him about what he heard him talking to Vixey about. "So what's this about a trip somewhere?"
"Oh, Vixey and I are gonna go and save her family from an evil overlord who's hungry for power." Tod responded, much to Tyler's shock as Tod reassured him that it was all okay. "Remember. Water power. I'll drown enemies to protect my allies."
Tyler thought for a moment about Tod and his power, hoping Tod wasn't relying too much on it to get him out of trouble. He wanted Tod to have the confidence to be able to protect his friends, but he also didn't want him to rely on his power too much. "Tod, look at me." Tod looked at Tyler as he wished, leaving Tyler to give Tod some advice for the future. "Don't abuse your power. You're doing great with it so far, but I don't want you to use it too much. If you do, then you may not be able to do anything without it. And I know you don't want that."
Tod smiled, reassuring Tyler that he wasn't going to end up like that under any circumstances. "Don't worry Tyler. I'm only using my power so much so I can have it at it's best when I have to protect my friends from harm. I know it's not something that has unlimited uses."
Tyler was glad to hear that, having faith in Tod's future, especially with how hard working he was. "I just don't want you to go back on your word for that." Tod hoped Tyler wasn't predicting a bad future for him with him then confirming that it wasn't the case. "And I haven't gained future vision yet, even if I can later on. But we both know you'll feel more accomplishment if you do things without using your power all the time."
Tod understood what Tyler was getting at, looking at his paw and thinking about his future. He knew it wasn't going to be easy, but he knew it'd be worth it if he did some things without his power. "I can still use it for helping others, right? And I know I can let them help me if I need it." Tyler nodded his head yes, making Tod happy and feeling that he had a bright future ahead. "Good. Cause there are some things I can see myself being unable to help out with if I didn't have my power. I don't ever wanna view this as a curse."
Tyler felt that Tod was being smart with his power, knowing that his siblings would gain full control of them soon. "Just know that no matter what happens, I'm there for you." Tod hugged Tyler, who wrapped his arms around him with affection.
Tyler was lying down in his bed, looking up at the ceiling and sitting up as he looked out the window and saw Tod helping their mom out with the farm like always. He smiled at the sight of Tod doing what he could to help out, even though he was just a kid and should be playing a lot more than helping with chores. Tod was already mature, even if he still had his moments of imaturity in there. He got out of bed and walked out of his room, seeing Danny being less gassed out from Terra's farts, leaving Terra to walk past him proudly as they went to the bathroom.
Tyler walked downstairs and into the kitchen, opening up the fridge and getting a cherry soda before butt bumping the fridge closed. When he went outside, he saw that Tod was getting all the sheep into their area. "Alright, don't let the little boy who lives down the lane do anything naughty." Tod closed the gate and saw Tyler, smiling as he walked up to him. "Perfect timing Tyler. As you can clearly see, I didn't ignore the advice you gave me yesterday."
"And I couldn't be happier to see the outcome." Tyler replied, seeing that there wasn't much to do and chuckled a bit. "Good thing you're so efficient. If I wasn't so busy working on my school project last night then I would've been out here helping the same amount I usually do."
"I hear you. I hate it when projects are worth so much of our grade." Tod admitted, wishing he could make every assignment in school worth the same. "If it were up to me, I'd ban all assignments that were worth more than five percent of our grade, make twenty assignments, and have them all be graded like that." Tyler nodded in agreement, knowing quite well that Tod was on the right page with this sort of thing.
Tod was at the ferry with his family and his friends as he got ready to head off to Vixey's hometown. He was ready to save Vixey's family no matter what, and knew he had to balance out when he used his power, and when he didn't. He saw Copper, Vixey, and Nicole getting ready, indicating that Nicole was the third one to be coming with Vixey. Tod was glad to see Nicole doing better as Alia then hugged Tod. "Be as safe as possible Tod. And kick the butt of anyone who tries to hurt you."
Tod wrapped his arms around his mother, knowing that he would be able to protect Copper, Vixey, and Nicole no problem. "You got it mom. That was the plan from the start anyway." Tod pushed his mother away, smiling to her as he got ready for this dangerous mission. "And I'll be careful with Signal too."
Alia rubbed Tod's head with his siblings walking up to him and Terra giving him a playful punch on the arm. "Good luck in Vixey's hometown dude. I know it's not gonna be an easy ride, but knowing you, you'll most likely survive no problem."
Danny was next to speak, hoping Tod would come back in one piece, but deciding to keep his confidence about it. "I know you're gonna make it Tod, but I hope you come back without any major scars or injuries."
Tod rubbed Danny's head with Tyler being the last one to speak, being ready to help Tod if he needed it. "I know you'll be okay out there Tod. Just make sure not to abuse your power, and to play it smart with Signal. I know you can do this."
Tod smiled and nodded, hugging his siblings and then walking over to the others before waving goodbye to them. "Bye guys!" Everyone in Tod's family said goodbye to him with Copper hugging Chief and Cindy as Tod got a good look with Chief noticing Tod. "Hope I'm not ruining the moment."
"Nah, we were just wrapping up." Chief confirmed, and he walked up to Tod with a slightly less stern tone than usual. "Make sure to treat Copper right on this trip."
"You got it." Tod walked off with Copper, who started talking with him as Chief looked at Tod, hoping they would all come back safe.
Tyler was looking out the window as he rode home with his family and Terra and Danny noticed him contemplating something. Danny, being curious about what Tyler had on his mind, wanted to know what he was thinking about. "Whatya thinkin about Tyler?"
"Nothing much. Just where we'll all end up in the future." Tyler was quite familiar with where Danny wanted to end up, feeling like he would actually get there if he set his mind to it. "I can see you making that vine foretress with Cindy someday Danny. No time soon, but after you master your power."
Danny was excited to hear that with Terra wanting to know what Tyler saw in store for her. "What about me Tyler? Do you think I'll become a professional athlete one day if I try as hard as Danny? Or harder, which is easy."
Danny elbowed Terra, who punched him in the arm even harder and making him wince with Tyler breaking the two up. "You could, but you'll have to lose the temper if you don't want the ref of every game to bench you." Terra saw Tyler's point as he looked up to the sky and thought about what his future would be. "I don't know what I wanna do though. Tod wants to be a rockstar, you wanna be an athlete, and Danny, you want that super cool vine foretress."
"It's gonna happen Tyler. And I know that for more than just your prediction." Tyler rolled his eyes while smiling at Danny's words, knowing he would especially have a lot of work to do out of the family. At least Terra's only problem was her temper.
Tyler was in his bedroom and sitting on his bed while giving Tod a call to see how he was doing so far. He heard a couple rings, and then when he answered, Tod was shown to start the conversation on the other end while leaning on the bars of the ferry. "Hey Tyler. Call me to see how things are going?"
Tyler laughed a bit at how easily Tod predicted what he was trying to do, finding that they already had a mind teller before he got his powers. "Guess I'm not the only one who can read minds. We always had you."
Tod shrugged, knowing quite well that he was worth a lot more than he looked upon first glance. "Well things are going well. we're almost at Vixey's hometown, and she was right. Signal does NOT play around when she wants to destroy something." Tod saw Copper, Vixey, and Nicole talking and decided to go join them. "Anyway, I'm gonna go join the others right now. We hit it big at the snack bar and I don't wanna miss out on anything. Call ya later."
"Okay. Later Tod." Tyler hung up and put his phone away, looking out the window after opening it and looking up to the sky as he saw how bright the future of everyone was, especially for Tod, knowing his was the brightest. An illustration of Tyler thinking about what his future was going to be like was shown as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.
An instrumental version of the main theme played during the credits.
