About This Program ✦
Clash of Swords is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls within the episode genre and is listed simply as a programme, with no further production details supplied. The title suggests a focus on conflict, and the episode format allows the story to unfold in a compact, self‑contained way. The episode follows two intertwined mishaps. Mitch, after slipping away with his friend Phil to attend a comic‑book convention, ends up committing a social blunder. At the same time, Gloria organises a celebration for Joe, only to have her efforts undermined when neighbour Donna hosts a more impressive gathering next door, effectively ruining Gloria’s party. Both storylines highlight how well‑intended plans can go awry. Mitch’s covert outing with Phil leads to an awkward moment that he must navigate, while Gloria’s attempt to honour Joe is eclipsed by Donna’s superior event. The contrast between the comic‑book escapade and the competing parties underscores the episode’s focus on unintended consequences and the way small actions can ripple outward, affecting those around them.
