Summary
“He wanted so badly to tell his son that it was okay to feel, because he knew if a boy his age got too tough and too alone, he'd end up the same way troubled boys from Steve's past did. Troubled boys illuminated in streetlights, getting shot at by the police. Troubled boys dying in hospital beds with their best friends sobbing over them. Troubled boys running away and never facing anyone ever again, even if they really wanted to.”
Steve Randle rarely understands what being a father means. Recently divorced and left with the custody of his three sons, Steve is drowning in new responsibility and fear of impending failure. When he is invited to the wedding of his childhood friend, Keith Matthews, Steve reluctantly accepts. Will returning to Tulsa destroy what he's worked so hard to protect?

Summary
“In addition to stabilizing the Oldest House, Control Points seem to be ‘focusing areas’ for paranatural energy. In our studies, we have observed that performing certain rituals at these Control Points can boost the abilities of Parautilitarians. As these ley-points are intrinsically linked to one another, our preliminary assessment concludes that teleportation of objects or people between Control Points may be possible under certain conditions.”

NRC Archives, February 1986, the Tonight Show Starring Orson Krennic, Guests; Ruescott Melshi, Luke Skywalker
[Krennic]: I guess I owe you an apology.
[Skywalker]: Oh?
[Krennic]: I asked you last time if you thought your first album was going to flop… I think we can safely say it didn’t.
[Laughter]
[Krennic]: Now, lets talk about this new stuff-
[Skywalker]: That’s why I’m here!
[Audience laughter]
[Krennic]: You, famously, are quite the bachelor. But I was listening to your record- and let me read the audience some of the lyrics in case they haven’t heard them yet.
Everyone says/I should be bored by now/Everyone says/It’s time to leave somehow /But I don't see how that's true/I've never been more in love with you. Now, to me, those don’t sound like the lyrics a bachelor would write. Are they about anyone?
[Camera focuses on Skywalker as audience titters.]
