Okay! Since Sam and I are hoping to revive ADN, here's the official pitch for Season 2 of One Last Chance!
Season 1 ended back on December 31st with the two-part "Solution" and "Endings". Starting back in episode 4 ("Danger"), Season 1 has been building up to a big reveal surrounding Thomas and Tamra's dad, Tamra herself, a ghost named Gene Illia Berth, and a guy named Nicholas. I've been keeping these secrets under wraps, but seeing as they were technically revealed when the episode "aired" two months ago, I guess there's no reason for me not to reveal them now. Particularly since they're related directly to the plot of Season 2.
So here's the deal. Nicholas has powers involving ghosts. When these powers are first revealed in "Solution", they are completely different from Victor's - he can actually control the actions of ghosts, and curse them to remain on earth forever (hence Gene and Tamra). He has something against Victor (which still isn't revealed ;) ) and is using these powers, as well as manipulating Mr. James with the secret of Mr. James' murderous past, to attempt to get to Victor. Gene, having been cursed by Nicholas but trying to avoid him, is simply trying to help Victor find out Nicholas's true intentions, but due to her nature decides to do it in the most fun way possible (which, for her, is to present it as a puzzle). So she's not really evil, but she's not the nicest person ever.
Nicholas eventually kills Mr. James (in "Merry") once he becomes useless, but manages to avoid getting caught by using his powers to force Tamra to do so (but she doesn't remember this). She ends up sacrificing herself to destroy him in "Endings", killing him and casting his own curse on his ghost while sending her to fates unknown (yay more secrets).
When we see Victor again in Season 2, he is working on a way to break Nicholas's curse to free Gene and many other ghosts that Nicholas has trapped on Earth, as well as trying to find out what happened to Tamra. Then also there will be various episodes featuring the original, more basic plot of Victor helping various ghosts finish their business and deal with his own drama with John and Lisa.
Nicholas's ghost will be a recurring character throughout Season 2, and through him we discover not only what grudge he holds against Victor, but also that his powers are identical to Victor's - Victor has the power to do everything Nicholas did, but isn't using his powers to their full potential. Nicholas uses this against Victor, taunting him constantly and trying to convince him to use his more powerful and deadly powers to his advantage.
Um, that's about it. Thoughts?
