The theme of the week is finding one's role and either living up to it or shunning it entirely in order to follow one's own desires. For some this is a practice in finding themselves, while others devote themselves entirely to pleasing those who would push their expectations onto them.

Week Nineteen
The theme of the week is the end of relationships, in one form or another, whether those relationships are romantic, friendly, or simply of having known one another. The results vary, with some friendships broken, others culminating in a kiss, and a few that end in caskets.

Week Eighteen
The theme of the week are the lies that we tell ourselves, the lies that we tell to others, and the lies that we are lead to believe. Whether the lies told are about who you really are, or what's really happening around you, ultimately we all know the truth about ourselves.

Week Seventeen
The theme of the week is becoming something that's expected of you, or to abandon those expectations in favor of your own desires. For some this could mean anything as simple as a costume change, while for others it could be the catalyst to an entirely different way of life.

Week Sixteen
The theme of the week is trying to be something that you're not, either to impress someone of a different social status, or to hide in plain sight.

Week Fifteen
The theme of the week is the end of relationships, whether romantic in nature or platonic, and the struggle one has in dealing with said situation. Some are left weeping over all the lost moments they never got to have, while others manage to mend their ties and renew their bonds stronger than ever before.

Week Fourteen
The theme of the week is the search for forgiveness as people make mistakes and do their best to repent for them. Some are for past transgressions, some for imagined blunders, and others for mistaken identity, but in every case the characters look to be absolved of their crimes.

Week Thirteen
The theme of the week is taking a secondary option when the first choice doesn't quite pan out, either out of necessity to the situation, or simply a desire to move on to something else. Whether it's a relationship that's better off forgotten, or a campaign that needs to be spoken for, our characters here learn valuable lessons about what it means to settle for something less.

Week Twelve
The theme of the week is about dealing with death, whether literally experiencing the loss of a loved one, or symbolically losing a piece of one's self. This week high school heroes fall, reputations are tarnished, relationships are destroyed, and the nature of identity is put into question as our protagonists try to make sense of the world around them.

Week Eleven
The theme of the week is becoming a better version of yourself, either to improve the quality of your own life, or to conform to the ideals beset upon you by others. For some it is being more attentive to those you love, or to go back to your roots and consider what had made you the person you've become today, while for others it means giving up everything that you are in the name of what's right.

Week Ten
The theme of the week is trying to be someone that you're not, sometimes in an effort to conform with what other people think about you, and other times in an attempt to be who you think other people want you to be.

Week Nine
The theme of the week is a sense of family, whether that familial bond is between blood kin, close friends, a mentoring relationship, or company loyalty. A loving affinity can come in many forms, but no matter its appearance, it is almost always a necessity to getting by.

Week Eight
The theme of the week is being told what to do, who to be, and how to act, and the ways in which our characters deal with these suggestions. For some it is to ignore said advice, others blindly follow it, and a few very publicly defy it all.

Week Seven
The theme of the week is taking a look at your options and allowing yourself to become something you may never before have considered, no matter the consequences. For some this could mean playing the part of a hero, joining a live-action role play, internet dating, or moving into a more exclusive form of escorting, for others it could simply be babysitting or looking the other way in regards to a loved one's indiscretion.

Week Six
The theme of the week is the connection between characters, whether that connection is expressed through romance or friendship. These bonds are often broken or deteriorating, and this week the narratives are designed either to strengthen the casts' desire to stay together, or accept that they may already have outlived their relationships.

Week Three
The theme of the week is captivity, whether through physical means or societal duties. Ropes, shackles, cages, locked doors, and threats of a bleak future are just a few of the things that keep out protagonists from their ultimate goals.

Week Two
The theme of the week is deception, mostly in regards to family, either to them, or about them. While some of these lies are designed to protect the people in the characters' lives, others are done in order to protect their own skins.

Week One
The themes of the week are introductions, in regards to both the audience and the other characters, and privacy, whether through personal choice or necessary secrets. With a mixture of sex, parties, vampires, time-travel, cryogenics, and gun-fights, there's a lot of ground to cover.
