>>117675545Issue one opens with a title card, white picket fence, "Status Quo" title. Boy Scout Son has to write a report of where he sees himself in 10 years, Pipe Dad starts talking about building a safe and secure future, whole family laughs, credits freeze frame. Audrey turns off the TV and we get a peak at her apartment, "I used to like this show. I wonder why they only air reruns now."
Bullion's out on her own riding a motorcycle, An internal monologue/panel overlay "My name is Audrey Page, I used to be Golden Girl, but I'm not a child anymore." She hears an alarm and foils some jewel store robbers. As she trips them up the narration panels continue "Now I go by Bullion!" with some dramatic action lines.
She's thanked by the shop owner to establish her new location. Narration boxes continue "I moved here to attend BLANK (seriously, we don't have a name for the new city yet) city university and, with my mentor's blessing, to strike out on my own as a defender of justice!"
Cut to the family, same pose as the credits freeze frame, but covered in spider webs, they've been like that for 9 years.
A memorabilia collector (maybe reformed Quizmaster) is looking at the robots, starts talking with the studio owner about why the 50s was his favorite tv era so far. A ghostly shadow slides into the family casing the robots to activate, they start cleaning the set, they have to record in a few hours. Sweet Mother forces Quizmaster and studio owner to help with the cleaning, studio owner tries to re-take control, but the robot family only knows of the old studio owner, the guy's dad. Big Sis tells Quizmaster that he sounds like the game show host, but he doesn't look like him.
Pipe Dad goes for his newspaper, sees an article of Bullion foiling the jewel robbers and thinks the world is all wrong, "How could Silver Queen leave Golden Girl on her own? Shes just a little girl."
