Season 4 - Episode 7

A New Life For a Hero

The Bing Family and Gandalf are on their way to visit Doctor Strange, who is recovering from his injuries after being captured by Kang and Suzy. They decide to stop by a Starbucks near the hospital to get some coffee and snacks. However, when they enter the store, they are surprised to see Frodo, the hobbit who helped them defeat Sauron, working as a barista behind the counter. Frodo recognizes them and greets them warmly, but he also seems nervous and embarrassed. He asks them to keep his identity a secret, as he does not want to attract attention or trouble.

The Bing Family and Gandalf are curious and confused about why Frodo is working at a Starbucks, and they ask him to explain. Frodo tells them that after the defeat of Sauron, he decided to leave Middle-earth and explore the modern world. He says that he was fascinated by the wonders and challenges of living in a different time and place, and that he wanted to experience new things and meet new people. He says that he traveled around the world for a while, but he eventually settled in New York, where he found a job at Starbucks. He says that he enjoys working there, as he likes making coffee and serving customers. He also says that he has made some friends and learned some skills at Starbucks, such as how to use a cash register, a computer, and a phone.

The Bing Family and Gandalf are impressed and happy for Frodo, but they also have some concerns and questions. They wonder how Frodo managed to adapt to the modern world, and how he deals with the dangers and difficulties that he might face. They also wonder if Frodo misses his home and his friends in Middle-earth, and if he ever plans to return there. They also wonder if Frodo knows about the new threats that are threatening the world, such as Kang, Darkseid, and Suzy. They ask Frodo if he would be willing to join them in their fight against evil, or if he would rather stay out of it.

Frodo admits that living in the modern world is not easy, and that he has faced many challenges and problems along the way. He says that he has had to deal with culture shock, language barriers, discrimination, prejudice, and violence. He also says that he has had to hide his true identity and his past from most people, as he does not want to be exposed or exploited. He says that he sometimes misses his home and his friends in Middle-earth, but he also feels that he belongs in the modern world now. He says that he has heard about the new threats that are threatening the world, but he does not feel ready or willing to join the fight against them. He says that he has had enough of war and violence, and that he wants to live a peaceful and normal life.

The Bing Family and Gandalf respect Frodo’s choice, but they also try to persuade him to reconsider. They tell him that they understand his feelings and his situation, but they also remind him of his courage and his heroism. They tell him that he has a unique role and a special destiny in the world, and that he can make a difference in the fight against evil. They tell him that they need his help and his friendship, and that they will support him and protect him no matter what. They tell him that he is part of their family, and that they love him.

The episode ends with a cliffhanger, as Frodo is torn between staying at Starbucks or joining the Bing Family and Gandalf in their mission. He looks at them with gratitude and affection, but he also looks at his coworkers and customers with loyalty and fondness. He does not know what to do or what to say. He then hears a loud noise outside the store, followed by screams and sirens. He sees through the window that Kang’s army of time-traveling soldiers has invaded the city, followed by Darkseid’s army of parademons. He realizes that the world is in danger, and that he has to make a decision soon.
