#ay relate to the events which have occ%rred in it" It also has an
oen narrative at the end when we are le$t with a state#ent $ro#
one o$ the #ain characters telling the other character to loo- in the
c%board which leaves %s with a big clif hanger and it leaves the
viewer wanting to watch the ne.t eisode"
