Danny tells Burt that heʹs in love with Annie. Jessica makes life difficult for her captors. The communists demand El Puercoʹs surrender. Jessica prepares to face her execution. Chester catches Danny in bed with Annie. Burt walks into an ambush. Jessica faces a firing squad. What will happen next? Confused?

In 1986, In the Mr. Ed Theme Song Fiasco: an evangelist with nothing better to do, Jim Brown, said it included backward Satanic messages such as “The source is the Devil” and “Someone sung this song for Satan”. I thought the horse “sung this song for the Edsel”, as in a car model that bombed. Doctor Demento thought it was the birds at the end (er, beginning) that were Communist.
In 1986, “The Birth of Air Jordan” The Boston Celticsʹ Larry Bird scored 36 points. Pretty impressive. Until you realize that his opponent on the Chicago Bulls, a 23-year-old sapling out of North Carolina named Michael Jordan, almost doubled Birdʹs output. In an incredible offensive display, the second-year pro knocked in 63 points, erasing Elgin Baylorʹs playoff scoring record. Boston won the Game 135-131 in double overtime and subsequently swept the series. But everyone who witnessed that incendiary performance recognized that the NBA landscape had just shifted.
