Luis and Pilar's pleas for Theresa to stop going forward with her claim of being Julian's widow fell on deaf ears. Ivy and Rebecca teamed up to bring down Theresa. Luis went on a date with Beth but was plagued by memories of Sheridan. Brian risked his life to save Sheridan from a kitchen fire. Faith's spirit asked Timmy for help in saving Charity. Tabitha warned Timmy of the dire consequences for Charity if he used the spell book to get rid of Zombie Charity. Meanwhile, unaware of the consequences, Kay chanted a spell from the book to destroy the zombie. Zombie Charity put the moves on Miguel but was forced to pull away when she realized she was disappearing. The livid zombie raced to find who was casting a spell against her.

Friends and family feverishly raced to save her. Theresa ended up in hell, where she came face-to-face with Julian and made a life-altering pact.

Brian tried to help "Diana" move on with her life, while Beth and Hank did the same for Luis. A furious TC held Chad responsible for Whitney's condition and attacked the young man when he stopped by to check on her. Later, Chad sneaked into Whitney's bedroom, where a still-drugged up Whitney tried to seduce him. Eve freaked out when she found Chad and her daughter in a compromising position. Miguel, Reese, and Jessica struggled to get inside the cave while Kay subtly thwarted their efforts. Thanks to Miguel and Charity¹s love, Charity's ice block began to melt. Zombie Charity panicked when her powers failed to stop the real Charity from defrosting. Tabitha and the Zombie feared they were about to be discovered, while Timmy rooted for his beloved Charity.

After TC suggested Ivy hired David, Sam and Grace decided to have a test done to prove whether or not John was her son. Eve learned the truth about Ivy's scheme, and Ivy unsuccessfully tried to blackmail Dr. Russell into helping her. Ivy had her henchman slip a drug into Whitney's drink to teach Eve a lesson. The drug caused Whitney to act wild at the Youth Center party. Eve and TC were shocked by Whitney's behavior. TC assumed Chad was taking advantage of his daughter, and the two men came to blows. Theresa was stunned when she saw Ethan and Gwen together at the dance. Per Kay's orders, Zombie Charity punched her in the face, and Kay used the attack to get closer to Miguel. Later, Kay panicked when Miguel suspected Charity was trapped in the cave and tried to find a way inside. Kay worried he would find the real Charity if they got into the cave. Armed with new powers, Zombie Charity tried to destroy Tabitha and Timmy. Music: Cartoon Bank Heist - Doug Maxwell, Media Right Productions • Cartoon Bank Heist – Doug Maxwell, Me...

Download This week, we #TrekOut Star Trek: Picard's Key Art announcement. Then Levar Burton is betting on Geordie's return, The Westmore's continue to Trek, and David Mack gets his dream job. In Star Trek Online and gaming news, you can now adopt your favorite furry in-game friend and Anthony reviews the latest Star Trek tabletop game, “Conflick in the Neutral Zone.” Then, Star Trek Online's Community manager - Ambassador Kael - stops by to tease about some of the happenings going on in just three week's time at the Star Trek Las Vegas Convention! Later, Dr. Robert Hurt provides this month's Astrometrics Report!  Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we'll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages!  This Weeks COMMUNITY QUESTION is: CQ: Did you find any spoilers, hints, or “Easter Egg's” in the new Star Trek: Picard Key Art? AND CQ: Do you plan on purchasing an STO Tribble? If so, which one? Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan “Star Trek: Picard” Key Art Revealed The “Star Trek: Picard” team gave us a nice surprise before San Diego Comic Con and Star Trek Las Vegas - Star Trek: Picard's Key Art! On July 10th, the art was dropped by both Sir Patrick Stewart's and Star Trek's social media outlets. It features the contemplative former Captain in a long coat and high boots. His back is to the audience, though his profile is visible. He is not overlooking the beautiful vineyard and explosive sky that stands in the distance, or the wine barrels nearer, but rather he is looking down - away. But the good Captain is not alone. With him sits - A DOG! His assumedly-loyal companion is wearing a collar sporting a Starfleet Delta, which some keen eyed fans noticed looks to have “_1” on it. Later, Star Trek's twitter account added an animated gif that pans across the landscape, landing on the final piece of static art. Levar Burton Expects Geordie in “Star Trek: Picard” So we MAY be getting a “Number 1” - of sorts - in the new Picard series, but will we ever get to see the proper Next Gen cast join Sir Patrick? LeVar Burton thinks so! Appearing at the premiere of Disney's “The Lion King”, Burton - who played Chief Engineer Geordie LaForge - was asked by CNN about the likelihood of a TNG reunion on “Star Trek: Picard” “Each of us, I would say certainly, right? It is unreasonable to assume that he doesn't know those people anymore, or that he stopped talking to them. And if he did there's good storytelling in why” But Burton also made clear that this wasn't “Star Trek: The Next NEXT Generation” - it was “Star Trek: Picard” “Are you gonna see all of us together, again, in a scene or episode? I don't know. There's a lot of paper that needs to be papered, before we get there.” McKenzie Westmore On “Star Trek: Picard”: “Cat's out of the bag” The Westmore family has made quite an impact on Star Trek, and it doesn't look like they are done yet! On Saturday, July 13th, McKenzie Westmore posted a time-lapsed video to her instagram feed. The video shows the 42-year-old actress, best known for her work on the NBC Soap Opera “Passions”, getting a full head cast. Accompanying the post, Westmore said “There's such a great story to go along with how all of this came about from beginning to end but for now here's a little peek at what I went through to transform into what @nevillepage created! More of the story to come! I can't express enough how great it was to be part of the Star Trek family again with @sirpatstew even if just a moment. I've known him for 30 years! Thank you to all involved!! #startrek #picard #comingsoon #family #excited #cantwait #transformation #saturdayvibes #saturdaymorning #actor #actorslife #moretocome #sirpatrickstewart #honored #hollywood” Westmore, who has worked as an extra and guest star on Star Trek before, said later on Twitter “Cats out of the bag! #StarTrekPicard” David Mack a Consultant on a Pair of Star Trek Animated Series Prolific Star Trek author David Mack has some exciting news as well. Mack, the author of over 30 Star Trek novels, broke the news on Twitter, saying “Now it can be told (because my agent secured me permission from the production company): I am excited to be working as a consultant on two new Star Trek animated TV series — Lower Decks, and another whose details remain classified. And that's all I can say about that. #DreamJob” Following a story that claimed Mack was in the writer's room, the 50 year-old author clarified on Twitter “In case you see this story before it gets corrected: The headline and story are INCORRECT. I am NOT in the writers room on either animated series. I am NOT providing writing services to either show. I am an outside consultant, and my services are strictly advisory in nature.” STAR TREK ONLINE AND GAMING NEWS by Anthony Cox Bring Your Favorite STO Tribble Home Today!

Also, any Captain can pilot the Jem'hadar or Romulan ships. Right out of the box. No tier 6 ship mastery required. Each of these ships comes with the same console, but it will change the passive boosts depending on the faction. The starship trait is the same also, but both the name and energy type boost will change depending on faction. These ships all have a Commander-rank Temporal Operative Bridge Officer seat and are considered Temporal Operative specialized. So they will have the Molecular Reconstruction abilities. For a full list of stats and details, trek out the show notes. Patch Notables on PC In this week's PC patch notes: Jem'Hadar Gamma Rep armor is now available to outfit Bridge Officers. Known Issues: Firing arcs are currently not displaying when hovering over weapons icons. Jem'Hadar consoles do not work with the Jem'Hadar temporal warship.

Lohlunat Festival Summer Event Ends August 15th July 25 - July 29: Elachi Red Alert Weekend Arena of Sompek Returns as a Featured TFO Aug 1st - Aug 22nd Console Events Double XP Weekend Console Captains can take advantage of a Double XP weekend. From now until Monday, July 22nd Captains on XBox and Playstation can earn 100% more skill points and expertise in game.  July 25th - July 29th: Tholian Red Alert Weekend Aug. 1st - Aug. 5th: Bonus Marks Weekend Aug. 8th: Featured TFO Crystalline Catastrophe WEEKLY TOP TIP Shopping on Risa Before the summer event ends I wanted to draw attention to a few items that, if you don't have or know about, can be really helpful. If you don't have at least a very rare floater and power board you're just doing Risa wrong. Not only will they help you grind out more Lohlonat Favors, but it's just plan fun to zoom around the island in style. And on the plus side, you can also use the power board on your fleet's Colony World. Do you need an ultra rare power board? They can really make you fast in the races, but unless you're an expert power boarder, I find the speed of the ultra rares makes me lose more races then win. But your mileage may very. Don't forget that there's a new Baseball themed Tribble this year. Rumour has it feeding a Tribble a Stadium Soft Drink or a Jipper will create a Grand Slam Tribble. But I wouldn't hit it with a baseball bat, but petting it will give you a 2.5% run speed boost and 5% melee attack damage boost. The last item I want to mention is the Kit Module Graviton Spike. This Tactical Kit module is a staple in many Tactical ground builds. When activated your next weapon attack for 20 seconds triggers additional kinetic damage with 50% shield penetration, knock backs enemies towards the center of the area of effect, and slows enemies by 50% for 5 seconds. Even if you're not a Tactical officer, check out the other kit modules available in the Summer Event store. You may be surprised to find something useful. Also, once you have access to the Summer event store by completing the welcome project when you first get to Risa, you will always have access to the Summer Event Store in the Events Reputation tab. Other Gaming News Star Trek Conflick Review In the newest tabletop offering from WizKids games, Star Trek: Conflick in the Neutral Zone, players will send their ships into the neutral zone to collect dilithium, grow their fleet of starships, and earn command points to win the game. Unlock most other Star Trek boards games, this is also a dexterity game. In Star Trek: Conflick you literally flick your wooden starship tokens across the board trying to either land on a planet to collect resources or you're trying to knock your opponents' ship tokens off the board to gain a command point. Each player starts with either a fleet of four Federation ships or four Klingon ships. During the game you can spend your hard earned dilithium crystals on acquiring new star ships. You don't have to stick to one faction though, you can purchase any of the four ships available. Klingon, Federation, or even non-aligned ships like Romulans or even Species 8472. The more ships you have the more flicking you can do. But aware of asteroid blocks that opponents might place to protect their ships. In a 2 or 4 player game the board will have 1 large planet in the center that gives command points and two smaller planets that will give dilithium crystals. The 3 player side has the large planet in the center, but has 3 dilithium planets. If you have any collector ships resting on any of the planets at the start of your turn you will gain one of the appropriate items. Once a player accumulates 10 Command points each other player takes a final turn and the player with the most points wins.  The game is a nice departure from the more thinking strategic games that normally have the Star Trek theme applied to them. Instead of trying to negotiate treaties or roll dice to attack ships, you're literally flicking your ships to attack other ships. There is something giddy and fun about the physicality of sending your starships sailing across the table into the Neutral zone, bashing into other ships, and usually flying off the other side of the board. While the game itself is fun, especially for kids as my 6-year-old quickly became a flicking expert, Star Trek fans will immediately find the cracks in immersion. First off, they advertise the Enterprise D on the box, but the only Enterprise ship disc is the Enterprise E. You'll find your other favorite Federation and Klingon starships like the Defiant and Voyager, which makes you think the time setting for the game is late 24th century. Circa Insurrection or Nemesis. But then they also included ships like the Reliant and Qonos One. The other theme breaking is that you don't need to stick to one faction. You may start with an all Federation or Klingon fleet, but you can purchase any available ship to add to your armada. So unless you want to sacrifice strategy for theme, you're probably going to have an allied fleet. And it's hard to immerse yourself in a situation where you're knocking out your opponent's Federation ship with your own, while your Undine Bio-ship is collecting command points. The game is solid fun. And if you can get past those seemingly minor canon flaws you should definitely head to your friendly local gaming store and pick up a copy. Star Trek: Conflick in the Neutral zone is for 2 - 4 players, suggested age range of 14 and up, and plays in about 30 - 50 minutes, depending on the number of players Astrometrics Report Atmosphere of Midsize Planet Revealed by Hubble, Spitzer The Habitable Zone: Scorched Earth Enigma

He is not overlooking the beautiful vineyard and explosive sky that stands in the distance, or the wine barrels nearer, but rather he is looking down - away. But the good Captain is not alone. With him sits - A DOG! His assumedly-loyal companion is wearing a collar sporting a Starfleet Delta, which some keen eyed fans noticed looks to have “_1” on it. Later, Star Trek’s twitter account added an animated gif that pans across the landscape, landing on the final piece of static art. Levar Burton Expects Geordie in “Star Trek: Picard” So we MAY be getting a “Number 1” - of sorts - in the new Picard series, but will we ever get to see the proper Next Gen cast join Sir Patrick? LeVar Burton thinks so! Appearing at the premiere of Disney’s “The Lion King”, Burton - who played Chief Engineer Geordie LaForge - was asked by CNN about the likelihood of a TNG reunion on “Star Trek: Picard” “Each of us, I would say certainly, right? It is unreasonable to assume that he doesn't know those people anymore, or that he stopped talking to them. And if he did there's good storytelling in why” But Burton also made clear that this wasn’t “Star Trek: The Next NEXT Generation” - it was “Star Trek: Picard” “Are you gonna see all of us together, again, in a scene or episode? I don't know. There's a lot of paper that needs to be papered, before we get there.” McKenzie Westmore On “Star Trek: Picard”: “Cat’s out of the bag” The Westmore family has made quite an impact on Star Trek, and it doesn’t look like they are done yet! On Saturday, July 13th, McKenzie Westmore posted a time-lapsed video to her instagram feed. The video shows the 42-year-old actress, best known for her work on the NBC Soap Opera “Passions”, getting a full head cast. Accompanying the post, Westmore said “There’s such a great story to go along with how all of this came about from beginning to end but for now here’s a little peek at what I went through to transform into what @nevillepage created! More of the story to come! I can’t express enough how great it was to be part of the Star Trek family again with @sirpatstew even if just a moment. I’ve known him for 30 years! Thank you to all involved!! #startrek #picard #comingsoon #family #excited #cantwait #transformation #saturdayvibes #saturdaymorning #actor #actorslife #moretocome #sirpatrickstewart #honored #hollywood” Westmore, who has worked as an extra and guest star on Star Trek before, said later on Twitter “Cats out of the bag! #StarTrekPicard” David Mack a Consultant on a Pair of Star Trek Animated Series Prolific Star Trek author David Mack has some exciting news as well. Mack, the author of over 30 Star Trek novels, broke the news on Twitter, saying “Now it can be told (because my agent secured me permission from the production company): I am excited to be working as a consultant on two new Star Trek animated TV series — Lower Decks, and another whose details remain classified. And that's all I can say about that. #DreamJob” Following a story that claimed Mack was in the writer’s room, the 50 year-old author clarified on Twitter “In case you see this story before it gets corrected: The headline and story are INCORRECT. I am NOT in the writers room on either animated series. I am NOT providing writing services to either show. I am an outside consultant, and my services are strictly advisory in nature.” STAR TREK ONLINE AND GAMING NEWS by Anthony Cox Bring Your Favorite STO Tribble Home Today!

The Temporal Warship Bundle For the first time the Zen-store is getting a bundle with ships from four different factions. The Temporal Warship bundle, which is already available in the Zen-store, will include starships from the Federation, Klingon Empire, Romulan Republic, and Jem’hadar Vanguard fleets. Also, any Captain can pilot the Jem’hadar or Romulan ships. Right out of the box. No tier 6 ship mastery required. Each of these ships comes with the same console, but it will change the passive boosts depending on the faction. The starship trait is the same also, but both the name and energy type boost will change depending on faction. These ships all have a Commander-rank Temporal Operative Bridge Officer seat and are considered Temporal Operative specialized. So they will have the Molecular Reconstruction abilities. For a full list of stats and details, trek out the show notes. Patch Notables on PC In this week’s PC patch notes: Jem’Hadar Gamma Rep armor is now available to outfit Bridge Officers. Known Issues: Firing arcs are currently not displaying when hovering over weapons icons. Jem’Hadar consoles do not work with the Jem’Hadar temporal warship.

If you don’t have at least a very rare floater and power board you’re just doing Risa wrong. Not only will they help you grind out more Lohlonat Favors, but it’s just plan fun to zoom around the island in style. And on the plus side, you can also use the power board on your fleet’s Colony World. Do you need an ultra rare power board? They can really make you fast in the races, but unless you’re an expert power boarder, I find the speed of the ultra rares makes me lose more races then win. But your mileage may very. Don’t forget that there’s a new Baseball themed Tribble this year. Rumour has it feeding a Tribble a Stadium Soft Drink or a Jipper will create a Grand Slam Tribble. But I wouldn’t hit it with a baseball bat, but petting it will give you a 2.5% run speed boost and 5% melee attack damage boost. The last item I want to mention is the Kit Module Graviton Spike. This Tactical Kit module is a staple in many Tactical ground builds. When activated your next weapon attack for 20 seconds triggers additional kinetic damage with 50% shield penetration, knock backs enemies towards the center of the area of effect, and slows enemies by 50% for 5 seconds. Even if you’re not a Tactical officer, check out the other kit modules available in the Summer Event store. You may be surprised to find something useful. Also, once you have access to the Summer event store by completing the welcome project when you first get to Risa, you will always have access to the Summer Event Store in the Events Reputation tab. Other Gaming News Star Trek Conflick Review In the newest tabletop offering from WizKids games, Star Trek: Conflick in the Neutral Zone, players will send their ships into the neutral zone to collect dilithium, grow their fleet of starships, and earn command points to win the game. Unlock most other Star Trek boards games, this is also a dexterity game. In Star Trek: Conflick you literally flick your wooden starship tokens across the board trying to either land on a planet to collect resources or you’re trying to knock your opponents’ ship tokens off the board to gain a command point. Each player starts with either a fleet of four Federation ships or four Klingon ships. During the game you can spend your hard earned dilithium crystals on acquiring new star ships. You don’t have to stick to one faction though, you can purchase any of the four ships available. Klingon, Federation, or even non-aligned ships like Romulans or even Species 8472. The more ships you have the more flicking you can do. But aware of asteroid blocks that opponents might place to protect their ships. In a 2 or 4 player game the board will have 1 large planet in the center that gives command points and two smaller planets that will give dilithium crystals. The 3 player side has the large planet in the center, but has 3 dilithium planets. If you have any collector ships resting on any of the planets at the start of your turn you will gain one of the appropriate items. Once a player accumulates 10 Command points each other player takes a final turn and the player with the most points wins.  The game is a nice departure from the more thinking strategic games that normally have the Star Trek theme applied to them. Instead of trying to negotiate treaties or roll dice to attack ships, you’re literally flicking your ships to attack other ships. There is something giddy and fun about the physicality of sending your starships sailing across the table into the Neutral zone, bashing into other ships, and usually flying off the other side of the board. While the game itself is fun, especially for kids as my 6-year-old quickly became a flicking expert, Star Trek fans will immediately find the cracks in immersion. First off, they advertise the Enterprise D on the box, but the only Enterprise ship disc is the Enterprise E. You’ll find your other favorite Federation and Klingon starships like the Defiant and Voyager, which makes you think the time setting for the game is late 24th century. Circa Insurrection or Nemesis. But then they also included ships like the Reliant and Qonos One. The other theme breaking is that you don’t need to stick to one faction. You may start with an all Federation or Klingon fleet, but you can purchase any available ship to add to your armada. So unless you want to sacrifice strategy for theme, you’re probably going to have an allied fleet. And it’s hard to immerse yourself in a situation where you’re knocking out your opponent's Federation ship with your own, while your Undine Bio-ship is collecting command points. The game is solid fun. And if you can get past those seemingly minor canon flaws you should definitely head to your friendly local gaming store and pick up a copy. Star Trek: Conflick in the Neutral zone is for 2 - 4 players, suggested age range of 14 and up, and plays in about 30 - 50 minutes, depending on the number of players Astrometrics Report Atmosphere of Midsize Planet Revealed by Hubble, Spitzer The Habitable Zone: Scorched Earth Enigma

If you have told me one of my favorite shows would be special-effects makeup competition hosted by a former soap opera star, I'd have begged to differ. But Syfy's Face Off, now in its fourth season, has turned out to be a brilliant series awash in spectacularly creative, character-driven artistry; human drama; definitive and personable judges - Glenn Hetrick, Ve Neil, Neville Page; Hollywood-royalty guest stars; and McKenzie Westmore, the most elegant woman on television. Contestants are tasked with elaborate sci-fi/fantasy/horror character challenges, designing and executing full body paint make-up, and demonstrating a wide range of skill sets including prosthetics, 3-D design, sculpting, casting and molding. Each episode involves colorful and sweeping reveals of the contestants' finished work, and the drama of one contestant being sent home by the panel of expert and celebrity judges. It all culminates in a $100k+ winner package that has real career consequences. Joining us tonight are stunning and charming host McKenzie Westmore; mentor/coach Michael Westmore, legendary makeup supervisor with 42 Emmy and four Oscar nominations (Star Trek, Mask, Raging Bull) to his name and McKenzie's father; and Glenn Hetrick, whose eloquence has made him de facto lead judge on the show. Glenn is owner of Optic Nerve Studios, and has done amazing, award-winning work for Buffy, Angel, X-Files, Babylon 5,Heroes, CSI: NY, Spider-Man 3, and costume design for Lady Gaga.
