His mom is sick and she ends up passing away. He's real sad and runs out of the hospital into a foggy field. Unfortunately for him, the hits keep coming and he's abducted by an alien ship. 26 years later, we're on the planet of Morag. We see a dude with a mask of glowing red eyes walking around. He uses this device to see what used to be on the planet. He takes his mask off and we see it's Peter all grown up, still a big fan of music. He tries to steal this orb thing but is taken by guys. Ultimately, he's able to escape, orb in hand. Yondu, the guy who abducted Peter way back when, finds out that Peter stole the orb and puts a bounty out for him. Bad guy Ronan also finds out the orb was taken and sends an assassin named Gamora after him. But that's not allllll - bounty hunters Rocket (a raccoon) and Groot (a tree) see him and decide to go after him when they find out how much his bounty is worth. Peter tries to sell the orb but it doesn't work. Gamora is waiting for him as he walks out and takes the orb. A fight breaks out which is a good time for Rocket and Groot to jump in on the fight. They all end up getting arrested. While in prison, they meet a guy named Drax who is known for killing associates of Ronan, so he's got his sights on Gamora. Peter stops him from killing her by hatching an idea - let her take you to Ronan to kill him. Gamora explains that she's actually betrayed Ronan and intended to sell the orb. Together, they're able to escape. We then see Ronan talking to Gamora's dad, Thanos, about her betrayal. He sends his other daughter (who he loves less), Nebula, to go get her back. So they take the orb to a dude who can open it. Turns out, inside is the Infinity Stone. So that's not great. Nebula shows up and destroys Gamora's ship while Ronan's fighters capture the Orb. Peter sees Gamora out there floating in space about to die. So he goes out there and gives her his helmet so that he can pull her back into his ship. So, Peter & Co. know that facing Ronan will not turn out well but that they cannot let him use the Infinity Stone. So they need to hatch a plan. Speaking of which, Ronan puts the Stone in his warhammer, taking its power for himself. Nebula, hating her dad, agrees to team up with him. So the squad decides to team up with Yondu and co. to stop Ronan. Ronan pulls up and just starts absolutely wrecking their fleet like it's nothing. Inside the ship, Drax gets his revenge moment, Gamora and Nebula have their sister fight, and everyone quickly realizes… oh no, we are in over our heads. Peter decides the best way to stop him is… a dance-off distraction which gives Drax and Rocket just enough time to destroy Ronan's hammer. Peter grabs the Infinity Stone, which should absolutely kill him—but plot twist! His friends grab onto him, they all share the power of friendship, and together they vaporize Ronan. The group officially becomes the Guardians of the Galaxy, their records get wiped clean, and Quill learns he's only half human which is why the Infinity Stone didn't kill him. Finally, Peter opens the last gift from his mom: a new mixtape. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

ABOUT NELLY KNOWS MYSTERIES: ALL MANNERS OF MURDER Nelly and Detective Michael set out to solve the murder of a guest while at a lavish dinner. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR NELLY KNOWS MYSTERIES: ALL MANNERS OF MURDER March 14, 2026 | Hallmark CAST & CREW OF NELLY KNOWS MYSTERIES: ALL MANNERS OF MURDER Director: David I. Strasser Writer: Katherine Wagner Cast: Pascale Hutton as Nelly Parker Kavan Smith as Michael Hogan Veronica Long BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS There's a break in and all this burglar wanted was this piece of paper with a seal on it. The dog in the house wasn't thrilled. Cut to Nelly. She's heading to work and everyone loves her. Remember, Nelly is an advice columnist. Detective Michael is trying to play it cool though. He tells his co-worker he sees her occasionally but it's a small town. Nelly gets a call from this widow who wrote to her for advice and asks her to come visit her at her manor right away...the manor from the beginning. Mrs. Palmer Arlot invites Nelly to come to this family party where she will tell the family some big news. Naturally, she asks for a plus 1. And she wants that plus 1 to be Michael. Michael is like it's a date! When they get there, Michael sees the caterer and ducks. I'm sure it's nothing. They get inside and the family clearly doesn't like Palmer. And they like her even less when she makes her big announcement - she's cutting everyone out of the will and is giving everything to her dog, Moxy. Nelly and Michael are just sitting there like uhhhhhh. Later in the evening, the lights go out. Gunshots. The lawyer is shot. He's dead. BUT Palmer is like "I felt the bullet breeze past me." In fact, she has a bullet hole in her hat. She was the intended target. Luckily for her, there's a detective in the room. They find the gun that had been tossed in a giant vase and shut the room down immediately. These are our suspects: Hux who is Palmer's brother. Hux's son, Teddy. Claire is Palmer's late-husband's sister. And Brie who is Palmer's half-sister. Plus, the caterer & the butler, although they probably didn't do it. Speaking of the caterer, Michael tells Nelly that it's his ex-wife. He promises there's nothing between them, he just didn't want to ruin their date. He asks her to be his consultant on the case. They start by questioning Palmer. They discuss the gun, which she keeps on display in the hallway. They question everyone else. They have nothing concrete and everyone has a reason why they'd do it and some of them are quite good with guns! They swab everyone's hands to see if it matches any fingerprints on the gun. Unfortunately for Brie, her prints are on the gun. She explains that she found the gun on the floor in the hallway and put it back in the case. In fact, she says Nelly saw her do that. Plus, there's no gunshot residue on anyone's hands. Naturally, Nelly and Michael are keeping an eye on the family and they discover that Teddy and Leah (Michael's ex-wife) are a secret thing! Michael requests to be taken off the case because his ex-wife is a suspect. His co-worker is like pshhhh that doesn't matter. Keep at it. Nelly is chatting with Claire and she tells her about this email she got from Palmer that was really mean. Nelly is like I know Palmer's writing...I don't think this was her. Nelly has a hunch that the dead lawyer was acting on his own accord. So they go look at some of the docs in his office and there's a lot of shady doings, including fraudulent deeds. They suspect that Brie and the lawyer were working together - she stole some of the docs. They know because she had a bite mark on her arm. Their working theory now is that Brie killed the lawyer to get him out of the equation. But before they bring that to Palmer, they look at the financial records. Turns out, the butler wasn't being paid. So they go to check out the kitchen and find a secret window that would give the butler a clear shot. Nelly goes to talk to Palmer and it suddenly all comes to her - Palmer was working with the butler to kill the lawyer because they figured out that he was taking advantage of her. Nelly tells her that her family doesn't hate her - that was all Adam. He comes in and points a rifle towards Nelly but Palmer tells him it's all over. Then Michael comes in and saves the day. The movie ends with Michael leaving Nelly a note asking for advice on how to make a move on a girl he really likes. She tells him he should just go for it.
