During a private argument about whether or not they should move, Elaine reveals she is pregnant.

The next morning, blue lights descend from the sky, hypnotizing anyone who looks at them. The light affects them physically, causing them to become zombie-like. Any immobilized humans are collected by the light machines. Ray is taken, but Jarrod is saved when Terry tackles him, and he slowly returns to normal. He and Terry go to the apartment roof to investigate the lights. They see large alien spaceships descending through the clouds and vacuuming up thousands of screaming people. They are attacked by one of hundreds of flying alien drones and forced to retreat from the roof. As they attempt to open the door before the alien can get them, Elaine quickly opens it from the other side and accidentally looks directly into the aliens light. The alien hypnotizes Elaine with its blue light, but Jarrod and Terry are able to save her and close the door.

Yahoo! Graffiti

Yahoo! Graffiti was a multiplayer game and a member of the Yahoo! Games network of online computer games. It is similar to Pictionary in that one player draws while other players guess what is being drawn. It was taken offline along with several other popular Yahoo games in 2013.

Gameplay

A game consists of 4 to 8 rounds, depending on the number of players. Each round, a player has two minutes to draw ten words. They may choose to draw or skip each word. The guesser and artist both score 50 points for a correct guess. There is no penalty for an incorrect guess. The artist may click good guesses, to signal to the guessers that they on the right track (the words turn green). When the artist's two minutes expire, his turn is over and the other players are shown the words the artist was unable to draw. You can also play a team game. The team game follows the same rules, but you can only guess the word when one of the players on your team is drawing. The points are awarded to all team members. A team can be made up of two to four members and teams aren't necessarily made evenly; you can make a three versus four game and a two versus three game.
