Plot
The episode starts with a schedule that starts the End of Broadcast day a 3am. It then cuts to words that said "THIS CONCLUDES OUR BROADCAST DAY", with "The Star Spangled Banner" playing. However, it cuts to a Contingency Message by the U.S. Department for the Preservation of American Dignity that states the following:
The worst has come to pass.
Despite the sacrifices of our citizens and the might of our armed forces, the UNITED STATES has been forced to surrender to her enemy.
Thought they may occupy our borders, our streets and our homes.... the enemy will never occupy our SPIRIT.
That is why all Americans are now called upon to ACT.... to preserve the memory of the United States clear and bright.... untarnished and uncompromised.
Know that I have already TAKEN ACTION in the company of family and loved ones. Now ALL AMERICANS-every man, woman, and child-are called upon to ACT before the moment passes by.
Let our united resolve echo through history: Even in defeat, we refuse to yield.
Even in defeat we claim VICTORY.
It then cuts to old footage of the United States while messages tell the viewers watching to kill themselves. It then cuts to the Local 58 card that says that the message was a hoax and that it apologizes for the inconvenience.
