Net Prophets is a programme presented in the format of an episode. It falls within the broader genre of television programming, offering a self‑contained story that unfolds over its runtime. As a single instalment, the episode delivers a concise narrative that centres on a handful of characters and their holiday‑season decisions. The central thread follows two intertwined storylines. Carrie manages to convince Doug to allocate his Christmas bonus toward an internet‑based company, while elsewhere Arthur makes a personal pledge to enhance his festive décor. These parallel actions drive the episode’s modest plot, linking financial ambition with seasonal preparation. In the first thread, Carrie takes on the role of persuader, urging Doug to channel the extra funds he received as a holiday bonus into a fledgling online venture. Her argument hinges on the potential of the internet company, and Doug ultimately agrees to place his bonus at risk in pursuit of that prospect. The second storyline centres on Arthur, who declares his intention to give his holiday decorations a makeover. Determined to improve the visual appeal of his home for the season, Arthur commits to a thorough revamp, promising a more polished and festive atmosphere. This vow rounds out the episode’s focus on personal improvement during the holidays.
