  • During a flashback in an episode of Assy McGee, President John Adams was hiding under a bridge with a woman he described as "his whore", giving her a gift, and getting ready to corpulate with her, when an angry mob ran by looking for them. They immediately covered each other in ash to blend in with the dark ground & crouched down to resemble large rocks. However, after the mob passed, the woman revealed to John that she was allergic to ash, and her allergies were so overwhelmed that the reaction had proved to be fatal. She died telling John Adams she loved him. Her death proved devestating to him.
