• 2020-2022: Stark undergoes secret agent training for the French government, followed by training with the European Space Agency (ESA). He decides to pursue his passion for space exploration and partners with Elon Musk for a new mission: understanding what lies beyond a white hole.
• 2023: Virtual experiments yield inconclusive results until a transmission uncovers the true meaning of stars and life. The space exploration takes an unexpected turn, revealing the potential for new discoveries.
• Stark's rigorous training for months includes the faithful presence of Apollo by his side. Their bond is highlighted.
• May 2023: Stark is offered a job by NASA and X Corp but declines due to not wanting to leave Yasmina. His internal struggle between career and love intensifies.
• June 2023: On the day of Yasmina and Stark's wedding, Stark goes missing. Yasmina enters the ceremony alone, leaving viewers puzzled and concerned about his absence.
• December 26, 2023: A death ceremony is held for Stark, marking his apparent passing. An unusual procession of golden retrievers approaches the ceremony, each carrying a stick. These sticks hold trophies Apollo collected, hinting at elements that will play a role in the upcoming season. Each stick represents a coordinate to a star, mapped out of each Apollo’s encounters over the 7 months with Stark.
