2.10 - 2011 Winter Gift Holiday Special

"This Exclusion Day, our Narrator brings us back to the first days after the Troubles to reveal how HartLife saved the lives of the last survivors of Hartford, CT."

Synopsis
A man called Paul Faits, a woman and a child enter the Tower and barricade the door. They are worried about being heard by the Outsiders and want to board up the windows as well, to prevent anyone from coming in that way, but realize they don't have any boards and nails. Papa Hart shows up and offers them gifts from his sack. The gifts are boards and nails.

Afterwards they sit around a fire. Papa Hart offers the Survivors food. He reassures them that as long as they follow all his instructions without question they'll always have food. Attracted by the noise, Outsiders arrive and want to be let in to share the food, exchange new ideas and offer them new perspectives. Papa Hart says to ignore them, as their ideas must obviously not work since they're outside in the cold. The only way to a good and long life is to listen to everything he says. The Survivors agree and tell the Outsiders to go away.

The Survivors ask, if they can they stay in Papa Hart's tower, which he agrees to. The child asks, if he will be her new Papa, to which he replies he will be Papa to everyone from now on.
