* EndingByAscending: At the end of the [[PlayWithinAPlay play within the show]], a ladder magically descends from above, and Joey's character grabs onto it to ascend into the waiting spaceship, leaving his love interest behind to melancholically watch him depart, so that he can "Go to Blogon 7 in search of Alternative fuels." No blinding light, in this case, but the ladder is beautifully decorated with flashing Christmas lights.
