Dottie’s sudden death and secrets about the Roman family matriarch’s past are front and center on Fox’s Monarch season one episode four. Caitlyn Smith guest stars on episode four – “Not Our First Rodeo” – airing on Tuesday, October 4, 2022 at 9pm ET/PT.
Monarch stars Susan Sarandon as Dottie Cantrell Roman, Anna Friel as Nicolette “Nicky” Roman, Trace Adkins as Albie Roman, and Beth Ditto as Gigi Tucker-Roman. Joshua Sasse plays Luke Roman, Meagan Holder is Kayla Taylor-Roman, Inigo Pascual is Ace Grayson, Martha Higareda is Catt Phoenix, and Emma Milani plays Ana Phoenix.
“Not Our First Rodeo” Plot: Nicky makes a bold decision as she races to find a new song to perform at the Roman Family Rodeo. Meanwhile, Albie is signed by a new manager, Jamie Burke (guest star Damon Dayoub), angering Luke.
In Monarch, the Roman family is headed by the insanely talented, but tough-as-nails Queen of Country Music DOTTIE CANTRELL ROMAN (Sarandon) and her beloved husband, ‘Texas Truthteller’ ALBIE ROMAN (Adkins). Dottie and Albie have created a country music dynasty. But even though the Roman name is synonymous with authenticity, the very foundation of their success is a lie. And when their reign as country royalty is put in jeopardy, heir to the crown NICOLETTE “NICKY” ROMAN (Friel) will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy, while ensuring her own quest for stardom.
Middle child LUKE ROMAN (Sasse) is the CEO of the family’s business, Monarch Entertainment. Luke is the apple of his mother’s eye, but he has a troubled relationship with his father, whose approval he can never get, no matter how hard he tries. Youngest daughter GIGI TUCKER-ROMAN (Ditto) is very close to her older brother and sister, but in a family of superstars, Gigi has always felt like a bit of an outcast, in spite of her incredible singing voice.
Gigi is married to KAYLA ROMAN-TUCKER (Holder), a successful music manager who keeps turning down Luke’s offers to join forces with the family company. Outside business, Kayla’s relationships with the Romans reflect a complicated history, and a secret she is keeping could destroy her marriage to Gigi. ACE GRAYSON (Inigo Pascual) also is part of the family. He is a talented and sensitive 18-year-old who was adopted from an orphanage by Nicky and her husband, struggling British actor CLIVE GRAYSON (guest star Adam Croasdell).
Ace is a phenomenal singer with real swagger on stage and dreams of being a country star like his Grandpa Albie. And just when the Romans’ world couldn’t get more chaotic, enter CATT PHOENIX (Higareda), the stunning and unpredictable mother of 17-year-old ANA PHOENIX (Emma Milani), a talented, wide-eyed young singer who is trying to get signed to the Roman family’s record label.

Season one of NBC’s La Brea ended with Josh and Riley accidentally stepping through a portal to 1988. Meanwhile, Gavin, Izzy, and Ella deliberately stepped into a sinkhole in hopes of reuniting with Eve and Josh (in Gavin and Izzy’s case) and Veronica (in Ella’s). They landed on a beach next to a woolly mammoth, confirming they were definitely not in 2022 anymore. A strange tower that will somehow play an important role in season two was teased as the first season wrapped up.
Season two episode one, “The Next Day,” starts with families enjoying a day in Hollywood Lake Park, nestled below the famous Hollywood sign. A young girl has the worst timing ever when she takes her fluffy four-legged family member for a walk just as the Hollywood sign begins to tremble and the earth opens underneath it.
Everyone panics as pieces of the sign come flying down the hill, impaling the grass in the park.
Fortunately, both the child and the dog are okay, but the sign – and the hill it sits on – will need a major repair job.
Catching up with the 10,000 BC’ers, Silas refuses to provide any info on the sinkholes no matter what Eve (Natalie Zea) tries. 24 hours have passed, and Silas remains the only person who knows how to create a sinkhole. Eve and Ty (Chike Okonkwo) confirm Marybeth, Lucas, Aldridge, Scott, and Veronica are still missing.
Ty gives Eve a pep talk and promises they’ll get through this together.
Sam (Jon Seda) and Levi (Nicholas Gonzalez) resume questioning Silas (Mark Lee) about why he believes it was important Isaiah didn’t leave. Silas refuses to talk.
Sam and Levi step outside to argue about their next step. Levi thinks they need to be more humane, but Sam’s ready to do whatever’s necessary to get his daughter back.
Ty reminds everyone Paara’s group is coming that afternoon to retrieve Silas. Sam thinks they’ll just have to wait until he’s done questioning Silas. Ty’s certain Paara’s group won’t go for that because they want to hold him responsible for his actions and for the deaths he’s caused.
Ty continues to be the voice of reason. To survive long term, they need to remain on good terms with Paara. Eve suggests Ty try talking to her about an extension and he reluctantly agrees.
Sam finally gets Silas to talk by holding a gun to his head. Silas says the only person who can bring Sam’s daughter, Riley, back is Aldridge. Eve explains Aldridge is still missing and Silas believes he knows where to find her.
Ty, Eve, Sam, and Levi are stunned when Silas says she’s at a 30-story building made of glass and steel. But there’s a catch – it’s dangerous there.
The gang is all-in on finding this building except for Ty who refuses to believe Silas is telling the truth. Sam opts to stay with Silas just in case Ty’s correct. After Sam leaves, they decide he might not be the right person to keep an eye on Silas, given that he hates the man. Ty volunteers to also remain behind to watch Silas, so only Eve and Levi head out to look for the building.
Paara’s group arrives with food and the hungry campsite’s happy to see them. Ty asks for a little more time with Silas to try and locate Riley and Josh. If Silas’ information on Aldridge’s whereabouts is correct, then they won’t need him anymore. They will gladly hand over Silas then. But until that’s confirmed, they’d like to keep him at their camp.
Ty promises no matter what he will personally deliver Silas to Paara soon.
Levi and Eve walk and Eve’s unusually quiet. Levi knows she’s worried about Josh and he promises he’ll never leave her again. She won’t be going through this alone.
They come across Lucas (Josh McKenzie) and it’s obvious he’s been crying. He buried his mom and has just been sitting by himself, next to her grave. She lost too much blood, and he couldn’t get her to the light. He’s been hanging out here since then.
Suddenly they hear screaming and take off running. A group armed with machetes has Veronica (Lily Santiago) and she’s screaming to be let go.
The threesome watch and plot their next move, but when Veronica stumbles and is kicked while on the ground, Lucas can’t wait any longer. Eve and Levi are forced to follow him.
They watch as Veronica’s plopped next to other captives. Eve thinks that two of them should stay and watch the group while the other goes back for help. Lucas disagrees and moves closer to Veronica. He tosses a rock to get her attention. She sees Lucas and asks the nearest guard for water.
The guard’s distracted and Lucas makes his move, charging into him and knocking him to the ground. Lucas didn’t think this through, and another guard moves in to help his comrade. Levi sneaks up and attacks the second guard and, somehow, they manage to take both men down while Eve gets the key to free Veronica’s handcuffs.
They head up into the hills but at least one guard’s close behind when Veronica’s injury causes her to stop. Levi provides cover and sends the other three on while he faces down the guard. Levi pulls out the gun but that doesn’t stop his pursuer who launches a spear in his direction. Levi jumps out of the way and fires, hitting the man in the shoulder.
Eve’s grabbed by three men as Levi gets into a fistfight. He knocks his attacker out with a blow to the head with his gun.
Levi reunites with Veronica and Lucas and only then do they realize Eve’s missing.
Lucas takes Veronica back to the clearing and reports Eve was taken and Levi’s gone after her.
Levi surrenders to the men and gets thrown in the same cage as Eve. Their attackers have horses, and they get on the move again. Levi reminds Eve he told her he wouldn’t leave her.
Scott and Aldridge Team Up:
Scott (Rohan Mirchandaney) is doing yoga as Aldridge (Ming-Zhu Hii) wakes from a nap. The mysterious tower’s in the background as Aldridge confirms she feels better and that she’s a quick healer. (Silas stabbed her in season one.)
Aldridge has recovered her strength enough to give Scott a tour of the building. But first, she reveals the people inside it want her dead. That means they’ll want him dead too. However, if they don’t make it into the building soon then everyone will die.
Scott confesses he doesn’t like her sometimes, but he’s in since he doesn’t want everyone to die.
They’re still a distance from the building when Aldridge opens a secret entryway.

Josh and Riley Enter the Era of Awesome Music and Bad Hair
And now it’s time to catch up with Josh (Jack Martin) and Riley (Veronica St. Clair). Lilly and Isaiah aren’t near them when they wake up and they think they may be in 1988. A cassette tape tossed from a car proves they’re right.
Moments later, they spot Lilly and Isaiah getting into a station wagon with nuns. Josh thinks they’ll be fine since he’s okay. Isaiah will get adopted, grow up, and be his dad. They can’t interrupt that timeline.
Riley works through the puzzle and figures out they may be stuck in 1988. The La Brea sinkhole won’t open for another 30 years.
Josh thinks no matter what, they’re better off now than they were. At least now they’re not being chased by prehistoric animals or fort people. Plus, they could come across a McDonald’s.
They spot a house and hope the people will offer some help. The first two doors are locked but fortunately, in the ‘80s people were too trusting and one door’s unlocked. They raid the cabinets and fridge for food, and munch on cold pizza and cereal.
Josh thinks they should hurry and grab supplies before the homeowners return. And wouldn’t you know it, just that second the phone rings, their outgoing message plays out loud, and it appears they’ve gone to Catalina for the week.
Riley and Josh have a crash pad for a week!
They kick back and Josh immediately falls in love with Alf, calling the sitcom genius. Josh is certain this is better than being back in time, but Riley really misses her dad. Josh, however, isn’t freaking out because he’s there with her. Riley reminds him that just because they were thrown into a crazy situation doesn’t make them a couple.
Riley suggests they get out of there and then figure out what to do. Josh isn’t happy but agrees. First, he’ll look for cash.
Josh breaks open a piggy bank and leaves behind a sticky note that reads: “Buy Apple stock.”
He’s collected $100 but Riley’s still out of sorts. She explains it all feels like a nightmare and no matter what, the newspapers will remind her it’s 1988. That causes Josh to glance at a newspaper where, featured on the front page, is an article about a sinkhole swallowing the Hollywood sign.
They both realize a sinkhole didn’t open up in 1988 in their timeline. If this is like the La Brea sinkhole, they might be able to return to 10,000 BC.
Riley smiles.

Menacing Mammoths and a Shocking Discovery
Izzy (Zyra Gorecki) just arrived in 10,000 BC and is already sure she hates this place. Gavin (Eoin Macken) apologizes for bringing her and she reminds her dad it was her choice; they both want to find Eve and Josh. Their plan is to walk 20 miles a day but at that rate, it’ll take forever. (There are 1,100 miles – and probably just as many carnivorous animals – between Seattle and Los Angeles.)
Neither Gavin nor Ella (Michelle Vergara Moore) have had a vision since going through the sinkhole. They believe the visions were from when they were kids and now that their adult versions are in this time period, the visions are over.
They hear a noise and Gavin checks out their surroundings – his only weapon is a long, pointy stick. Ella and Izzy are already on each other’s nerves and Gavin has to remind them they won’t survive unless they work together. They didn’t bring food, supplies, or even a compass; they made the jump completely unprepared to actually deal with the environment.
They’re hungry and Gavin heads out to hunt. He spots a pig and launches his stick, spearing the animal.
Unfortunately, its death squeal gets the attention of a woolly rhinoceros with a sharp horn and a pissed-off demeanor. And now, Gavin is stickless. He’s forced to make a run for it and rolls down an embankment.
Gavin escapes and cooks up his kill, suggesting they eat as much as they can before they start walking again.
Ella thinks she made a huge mistake going through the sinkhole, and she only did so because she owes her life to Veronica. Since she can’t see her anymore, she isn’t sure she’ll ever see her again. Ella also questions whether she’s strong enough to survive down here.
Izzy looks for water by herself and slips on the gravel. She tries to keep walking, but it hurts. When she lifts her pant leg, she discovers she’s cracked her brace. Her dad comes to fetch her, and she pretends everything’s fine…but it’s definitely not.
They start walking again and Gavin’s acting all nervous and antsy. He finally confesses he came across a woolly rhino and he thinks it’s stalking them. Thank goodness he’s got his wooden spear back.
A rustling in the nearby bushes causes them to prepare for an attack. Out pops a baby woolly rhino that’s super cute. Izzy pets it and decides it wants to be friends.
It runs off and they follow it. Unfortunately, the baby was just heading back to its parents and now the threesome’s exposed in a field with nowhere to hide. Gavin remembers woolly rhinos are nearly blind so he’s going to create a noise distraction so they can escape.
He tosses his spear into a tree in front of the woolly rhinos and they move toward the sound. It worked, but Izzy falls and screams in pain, drawing the attention of one of the creatures. Gavin and Ella help Izzy to her feet but as they turn away from one angry rhino, the one that was stalking them enters the field. Great, now they’re trapped by two massive creatures!
They can’t run so they hit the ground. Luck’s on their side as the two rhinos fight. They make their escape while the battle’s going on.
Gavin does a quick temporary fix to Izzy’s prosthetic and she’s okay to walk. It’s still painful but she claims it feels better. They’ve only gone a short distance when they come across the Hollywood sign (broken apart, of course).
That doesn’t seem possible since they jumped through a hole in Seattle. They scan the horizon and not too far away is the building that’s part of Eve’s group’s camp. Ella’s seen that building back home and Gavin chuckles as he realizes the sinkhole actually brought them back home to Los Angeles.

Four years after Michael Myers vanished, he returns for what’s expected to be the final showdown between the crazed serial killer and Laurie Strode in Halloween Ends. Everyone insists this is the absolute final battle between Michael Myers and Laurie Strode…but let’s check back in five years and see if that promise still holds.

After 45 years, the most acclaimed, revered horror franchise in film history reaches its epic, terrifying conclusion as Laurie Strode faces off for the last time against the embodiment of evil, Michael Myers, in a final confrontation unlike any captured on-screen before. Only one of them will survive.
Icon Jamie Lee Curtis returns for the last time as Laurie Strode, horror’s first “final girl” and the role that launched Curtis’ career.

Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since.

But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Campbell), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.

Physicist Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) leaps from being part of a gang attempting to steal the Hope Diamond in episode one to being a member of the Atlantis space shuttle crew in NBC’s Quantum Leap episode two. All his friends and fellow lab employees hoped he’d leap from 1985 back to the present, but that’s definitely not the case as he’s currently stuck in 1998.
The space shuttle successfully launches and even reluctant traveler Ben’s wowed by the view from space. Their mission is to put the first piece of the International Space Station in place, and he listens to pilot Samantha Stratton (Carly Pope) and Commander Jim Reynolds (Jose Zuniga) exchange friendly banter. Stratton promises she’s going to make Reynolds proud as Ben is mesmerized by the stars.
Ben’s initial attempts at contacting Addison aren’t successful. All he knows is the astronaut he’s leaped into is named David.
Meanwhile in 2022, Ian (Mason Alexander Park) shows up at Addison’s place with coffee. They haven’t located Ben but the system’s working again so they should find him soon. Ian’s shocked to see it looks like her apartment’s been ransacked, and Addison (Caitlin Bassett) admits she found Ben’s phone and he left a message acknowledging she won’t be able to make sense out of what he’s doing.
Addison thinks she might find other clues in her place, and she already found a hidden flash drive. They hope Jenn can crack the password, and Addison admits she didn’t get any sleep. She feels like she doesn’t know Ben now; after falling in love and sharing everything she has no idea what he’s doing.
They head into the lab and Jenn (Nanrisa Lee) fills them in on Janice Calavicci, Al’s daughter. Janice is a brilliant astrophysicist and Addison volunteers to jog Ben’s memory to see if he knows about her involvement. Magic (Ernie Hudson) doesn’t think that’s for the best; Ben having amnesia is a good thing. If Janice drew him into some nefarious plan, it’s best they don’t try and get him to think about why he leaped or what his agenda is.
Addison doesn’t agree but Magic orders her not to jog his memory.
Ian receives a notification that Ben leaped to March 7, 1998 and is on the Atlantis space shuttle.
Addison decides not to tell Jenn and Magic about Ben’s phone or finding the flash drive. Ian’s reluctantly pulled into her plan.
The connection’s working again and Addison’s able to interact with Ben. He doesn’t understand why he didn’t return to his time and Addison explains they’re working on it. Addison says the name of the astronaut he leaped into, and Ben recognizes it. He idolized him as a kid and wanted to follow in his footsteps.
Ben suddenly realizes he’s remembering things, including that he immigrated from Korea. Jenn tells Addison to change the subject, but instead, Addison asks what else he remembers. Nothing…expect that David died on this mission.
Ziggy, the AI, believes there’s a 92% chance Ben’s made this leap to change that. The cause of David’s death was classified so they don’t know how he died.
Ben’s freaking out that he might hit the wrong switch or touch something that causes an accident, and Addison reminds him she’s there to help him with the technical stuff.
Ben begins what’s supposed to be a routine system check and all hell breaks loose. It wasn’t his fault; the payload shifted and it’s blocking a door.
Suddenly, there’s a huge crashing sound and the shuttle begins spinning. Stratton’s a talented pilot and manages to get it back under control. Unfortunately, Commander Reynolds has been injured.
Reynolds’ wife made Stratton promise she’d take care of him since it’s her first flight and his last. She’s worked with him for 10 years and she tells Ben that Reynolds loves to say “told ya” when she does something wrong.
The fourth member of the crew, Max Everett (Leith Burke), believes Reynolds will be okay.
The explosion ruptured the oxygen tank and they’re on backup now. They only have six hours of oxygen left.
Ben asks Addison if he can leap now, but he can’t. Apparently, that emergency didn’t have anything to do with David’s death.
Magic visits Al’s widow, Beth, and asks for help finding Janice. Beth hasn’t seen her daughter in a year and doesn’t know what she’s up to. (Beth is played by Susan Diol, reprising her role from the original series.)
20 minutes after Magic leaves, Beth called Janice so now Jenn and Magic know she’s in a small house in Pasadena. They head out to track her down and before they knock on Janice’s door, Jenn suggests Magic take it easy on Addison. Nothing that’s happening was Addison’s choice yet it’s affecting her more than anyone else on the team.

Janice isn’t home but she left the phone behind. They check out her house and discover a cellar that leads to a hidden lab. There are formulas written in Ben’s handwriting, lots of computers and servers, and a security system. They know Janice is watching them and have to move fast to remove the hard drive.
Janice calls Magic while he and Jenn are still in her lab and reveals Ben knocked on her door and asked for help. This wasn’t her idea. Janice warns Magic to stay out of her way and says she’s taken precautions. They better leave her lab ASAP or else.
Magic hangs up and things start exploding in the lab. Jenn’s able to grab the hard drive before they’re forced to flee.
Back in space, Ben wonders why Addison doesn’t try and jog his memory and she confesses the team doesn’t want her to. Ben puts the pieces together and realizes they think he has some “big, evil plan.” He understands why they’re doing it and thinks he’d come to the same decision.
The classified mission report says David got hit by debris on a spacewalk. Ben needs to avoid that and stay alive and so, of course, he’s given the order to do an emergency spacewalk to close the payload doors. They’re going to return to Kennedy now but that’s not possible with the doors open. He needs to go outside and toggle the manual release lever.
Addison tells him the approximate time of death and he’s got 90 minutes to get back inside. Ben doesn’t want to take any chances and talks Stratton and Everett out of doing the required 20-minute pressurization test before he goes out.
Stratton shares the advice Reynolds always tells her – trust his gut, stay open, and stay safe.
David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” plays as Ben steps outside. He takes a minute to soak it in, describing how he feels as a mixture of terrified and amazed. Addison’s hologram is also outside and although she knows she’s not physically there, she’s overwhelmed with the incredible experience.
Ben gets to work and follows Addison’s instructions. He’s got 10 minutes left when he’s ready to throw the switch. Mission accomplished, he’s about to return to the ship when Addison spots space debris heading his way – earlier than expected.
Addison yells for Ben to duck as debris strikes the ship. He dodges the debris and reports that he’s okay. Ben’s sure he can leap now since David didn’t die, but now there’s a different issue. Addison explains that because he dodged the debris, it damaged tiles and now there’s a 100% chance they’ll all die upon reentry!
Back at the lab, Addison asks Ian about the flash drive and he explains it would take too much computational power to crack it without letting Magic and Jenn know. Ian thinks she should ask them for help.
Addison rejoins Ben and helps him describe the seriousness of the tile damage to the crew. They don’t think it’s worth trying to fix the tiles since they only have four hours of oxygen left and their window to return to Kennedy is closing.
Ben’s adamant about the very real possibility they’ll die if they don’t do something, and Stratton picks up on the urgency and suggests they can get extra oxygen from Russian’s Mir. After they get the oxygen, they can fix the tiles and then head home.
Addison checks with Ziggy and if they go to Mir right now, Ziggy gives them an 87% chance of surviving. Everett’s against it but Stratton makes the call. They’re going to Mir.

Reynolds picks just that second to join them and counter Stratton’s order. He thinks asking the Russians for help would be embarrassing to the program. Reynolds and Stratton argue, and Reynolds wins out since he’s the Commander.
Stratton doesn’t give up. The tile damage is too severe to attempt reentry without being fixed. She begs Reynolds to listen to her and understand what she’s trying to do. Reynolds doesn’t change his mind and he orders her to get in her seat. Stratton disobeys and leaves, and Reynolds sends Ben to fetch her.
Addison tells Ben it’s up to him to get the crew rowing in the same direction.
Stratton suggests Ben shouldn’t be there while she opens the payload doors, forcing them to abort reentry. She doesn’t want him to get court-martialed.
Ben reports back what Stratton’s doing but adds that Reynolds isn’t of sound mind and shouldn’t be in the chair right now. He was unconscious up until 15 minutes ago. Ben tosses his own advice back at him – stay open, stay fluid, stay safe.
Ben reminds Reynolds that he taught Stratton to be the best. She knows what she’s doing, and he’s prepared her for just this moment…just this emergency. “Now she’s willing to risk her career and her life to convince you that you are wrong,” says Ben.
Ben wants Reynolds to trust that Stratton’s doing what’s best for the crew. Reynolds changes his mind and gives the order to abort.
Stratton maps a course and they can get to Mir in an hour. But it will mean another spacewalk for Ben because they need to point an antenna at the Russians to communicate.
It’s obvious Ben is loving these spacewalks and he thanks Addison for everything, including helping the guy that no one trusts.
The antenna is pointed and Reynolds determines they don’t have much of a window to work with. It’ll take an hour to dock and get the oxygen, and they’ve only got an hour and 15 minutes of oxygen left. Basically, they have 15 minutes to get the Russians to allow them to dock.
Mir doesn’t respond and Ben realizes they’re asleep because it’s the middle of the night. He unclips his tether and jumps off the ship. His plan: to knock on their door and wake them up!
He bounces around the outside of the ship but manages to grab the door. He bangs and a Russian finally answers. Ben informs Atlantis he has contact with Mir.
Reynolds apologizes for doubting Stratton, and she replies, “Told ya.”
Ziggy reports everyone survives after they dock with Mir and make their repairs. Stratton will become a commander and David will be one of the first astronauts to live on the International Space Station.
Still, the odds he leaps home are 50/50. Addison swears she’ll be with him until he gets back home.
Ben leaps.
Magic and Addison have a heart-to-heart and they’re both sorry about how they’ve handled the situation. Addison also admits Ben thinks they’re handling it the right way – it’s what he’d do. Magic knows it will take all of them to figure this out.
The team discusses Janice’s hard drive which is currently useless because they don’t have the encryption key. Addison turns over the flash drive she found, and they believe it could help them open the hard drive.
They open it and are stunned to see it contains “millions of variables representing millions of places in time.” One place is larger than the others and they determine it’s a destination. Ian believes Ben got into the machine to get to a specific place at a specific point in time. They don’t know where it is or when…or why Ben did this.
Is Ben attempting to find Sam Beckett?
The episode ends with Ben leaping into a boxer just as he’s punched in the face.
