Ho, goddam ho!

You can go in, now.

Hello, sir.

Angel! Thanks for stopping by. Listen, I just wanted to thank you personally for what you did with that statue. That showed some great initiative.

Really? You mean I'm not in trouble?

Not in the least. In fact, I think you may have just earned your way off of diaper duty.

Oh, thank you, Mr. Christ!

With Gabrielle playing for the other team now, I've been thinking that Michael could use an assistant -- provided he survives the battle he's in right now in Allentown. ...

But Michael hates me.

Hey, this is heaven, kiddo. There's no hate in our gait here. Don't worry, he'll get used to the idea. He has a lot on his plate.

But, who would take my place cleaning up after the cherubim?

I have a couple of ideas on that. ... I think I also need to find somebody to keep an eye on Santa.

Santa is a psycho.

He's been under a lot of pressure. ... Alcohol may be a factor, as well. ... But when he's finished in Allentown he'll have some down time to recharge his batteries.

You better send the Energizer Bunny, then.

Hang on a sec. Let me make a call right now. ... Put me through to Limbo.

Damn! What the hell do you want? Ain't Paul Newman around today to braid your hair?

Not another word, Player. Just listen. You want out of Limbo? Here's the deal. You can come back to heaven, but you either have to look after the cherubim ...

Hell! The Player doesn't clean up any damn diapers!

... Or you can go to the North Pole to babysit Santa.

Ho, goddam ho!

All we need now is for Christ to subcontract the reconstruction of Allentown to Blackwater, and appoint a provisional government.

Meanwhile ...

... A group of Allentonians has traveled into the past in an attempt to kill the demon Marge before she comes to Allentown and destroys the city. However, they have repeatedly failed in those attempts. They have bungled them so badly, in fact, that they have created an Alternate Timeline in which Marge lives quietly in her chalet in Turkey and calls herself Mrs. Egram, in which she never eats her brother Ronan and in which she becomes a significantly less evil demon than the one that is destroying Allentown in the present. The time travelers -- demon hunter extraordinaire Maximillian A. Bear, his son Max Jr. (formerly the polar bear cub spirit Max), Karl, the Green Guy and Truman (the ghost who was transformed into a flying polar bear rug when he escaped from Marge via the Secret Room time portal) -- find themselves trapped in Alternate Time, having run afoul of the Crows (principally through eating several of them) who previously had assisted in their journeys through time. The time travelers have joined with Mrs. Egram in an attempt to travel to non-Alternate Allentown to stop Marge in the present time, where St. Michael the Archangel struggles with steroid detoxification as he continues to be locked in mortal combat with Marge in the streets of downtown Allentown, which has largely been transformed into a smoldering ruin. Meanwhile still-unemployed super agent Jack Bauer and a small band of followers have traveled to Parallel time to battle a new enemy to heaven itself -- the deceased actor Paul Newman, or so they believe. Newman took control of Parallel heaven and initiated the celestial lockdown protocols, blocking travel to and from Parallel Time. However one portal remains open -- that guarded by the mysterious Old Donovan in a forgotten comfort station deep beneath downtown Allentown. It was believed that Newman seized Parallel Heaven after drugging Jesus with tainted tortilla chips; however, a new story seems to be emerging. The Bauer party, however, has been separated, with Bauer traveling to the Parallel Antarctic Vatican; Atown-Liker ending up in the TV Chef Network Studios, where he is reunited with the Countess of Monaco, who has be retransformed from a sea monster back into a woman who sort of looks like a sea monster; and the Player washing up at Parallel Atown Liker's headquarters. Also, Rudolph and Gen. Trexler have been banished to hell for not answering Old Donovan's questions correctly and Bubbles, the little angel, was banished to the Macungies. Their fates will be determined at some point in a flashback. Meanwhile, Bauer has learned that Newman is not his target. The enemy of heaven is actually the Crows, who are attempting to bring about the Apocalypse through the use of an ancient holy artifact being guarded at the South Pole by Parallel Pope Boneyface. Meanwhile, while in Parallel Time, non-Parallel Atown-Liker was nosing around Parallel Atown-Liker's headquarters where he either had a massive hallucination or was transported to Dickensian London via a Secret Armoire. Meanwhile, the Irish warrior Cuchulainn remains dead after being mortally wounded by Trexler; and the Spanish Armada, led by turncoat Archangel Gabriel, remains quiet after being defeated by an underwater assault by Trexler and the frightening firepower of Santa's Battle Sleigh 1. With the help of Little Ronan (a.k.a. Parallel Time-Alternate Timeline Purgatory Ronan) and [[[Spoiler Alert!]]] Rudolph, Santa recovered sufficiently enough from depression, substance abuse and the death of Prancer to deliver the goods on Christmas. Meanwhile, the fate of Ponzi remains unclear. Previously Newman sent his small dog into Parallel Time to ingratiate himself with President Madoff and to steal Madoff's investment fund. Ponzi was forced into hiding after angering Kevin Bacon, the Muppet Bert and some TV chefs who have vowed to cook and eat him.
