The episode “Celebration” from Knot’s Landing perfectly executes on the concept of TV serials using blocking and weaving to tell their story. Blocking and weaving is all about how the writers block the characters and their story, and then weave the characters into the other characters storylines. The story of the episode is all centered around Ciji’s big performance at the restaurant Daniel, unfortunately she doesn’t show up and we later discover that she is dead on the beach. This is the end of the episode, but the show sets up this ending very well, as they weave in almost all the other characters storylines so the climax has them all end up at Ciji’s performance.
Gary’s storyline is what kicks off the episode, as he is standing outside Ciji’s
