"If You Don't Like My Story, Write Your Own"

Airdate: November 10, 2019

"Legacy isn't land. It's in the blood, passed to us from our ancestors, and by us to our children."
Lady Trieu


Tropes:

  • Brutally Honest: Cal tells the kids that Judd didn't go to Heaven, he's just nowhere.
  • Designer Babies:
    • Lady Trieu offers the childless couple, the Clarks, a baby, artificially created from their DNA after years of trying. In exchange for selling her their farmland.
    • Adrien Veidt has a lake full of them, which is where his servants are from. Although he didn't create them.
  • Expendable Clone: Veidt had all of his cloned servants killed.
  • Mood-Swinger: The kids took it pretty well when Cal said there's no afterlife, since they eagerly answered when he asked if they want more waffles.
  • Mythology Gag: The black flag with skull-and-crossbones may be a reference to the Tales of the Black Freighter comics that was prevalent throughout the events of Watchmen.
