Not soon after the show ends, America starts going through a rapid change. The stock market crashes, the economy tanks, and all sorts of restrictions are given on the media. It's all thanks to the Office of American Morality. While on a trip to Chicago, the Misfits undergo a [=OoAM=]-mandated blood test used to prevent "criminals" from getting into the city. One of the blood tests can tell if someone is not heterosexual, which has become a criminalized offense. Unfortunately, Stormer comes out negative for the test and ends up arrested.
