This Is The Beginning Of The End is the first episode of the first season of Now Apocalypse, a coming-of-age comedy-drama television series created by Gregg Araki. The episode opens with the main character, Ulysses (Avan Jogia), having a strange dream about a prehistoric creature and an alien invasion. This dream sets the tone for the show's bizarre and surreal atmosphere.

Ulysses, a struggling millennial in Los Angeles, is a sexually adventurous weed-smoking college dropout who is trying to explore his sexuality and figure out his place in the world. He is an aspiring screenwriter, but he's currently working as a rideshare driver to make ends meet. He has a close friendship with his roommate, Ford (Beau Mirchoff), who is an aspiring actor and model.

In this episode, Ulysses meets a new love interest, Gabriel (Tyler Posey), who he believes may be an alien. They have an instant connection, but Ulysses isn't sure if Gabriel is really an alien, or if it's just his imagination running wild. Meanwhile, Ford is struggling to get his big break in the entertainment industry and lands a gig as a model, but he soon discovers that the world of modeling is not what he expected.

Ulysses also has a bizarre encounter with his landlord, Carly (Kelli Berglund), who is a webcam model and fetish performer. She offers to introduce him to her world, and he finds himself drawn to her sexually. Another character, Severine (Roxane Mesquida), is introduced as a French scientist who is conducting mysterious experiments.

The episode is full of weird, trippy visuals and quirky characters. It's clear that the show is not meant to be taken too seriously and is more interested in exploring its characters' sexual and existential struggles than in adhering to any particular plot. The overall tone is playful and irreverent, with a healthy dose of absurdist humor.

Overall, This Is The Beginning Of The End sets up Now Apocalypse as a wild, unpredictable ride that explores the anxieties and desires of young adults in a post-modern world. It's a strange and surreal take on the coming-of-age genre that is sure to appeal to anyone who has ever felt lost or confused about their place in the world.
