Cory in the House: Lost Episode

After pursuing a career in politics, Cory finally becomes president at age 44. He places his older sister Raven in charge of immigration. Now a wise old woman, she has greater control of her precognitive powers, much like her Grandmother in s01e21 ("To See or Not to See"). She had already proven a great asset on the trail to the presidency (foreseeing debate questions, potential scandals, etc). There are no longer specific prerequisites to apply for a visa - Raven simply foresees whether your future is productive or beneficial within the United States. Terrorism is a thing of the past now that all tragedies are foreseen, resulting in a significant decline in fear-motivated racism. America's grip on the world tightens further, now an all-seeing entity. All other nations are helpless to obey, knowing any and all retaliation will be foreseen and counteracted before it begins. Anarchistic social movements emerge under the philosophy that if their actions are predetermined, they are not responsible for their actions and instead blame the very concept of "fate" itself - a convenient scapegoat for their futile attempts at riots and violent demonstrations that are inevitably quelled beforehand. 6 years into Cory's presidency (having secured an unchallenged second term), a tragedy is foreseen: Russia will fire nuclear weapons upon the United States. Retaliatory nukes are fired before Russia has even had a chance to actually fire. America's nukes are picked up by Russia's detection system, and retaliatory nukes are fired back. The world is destroyed in an instant. It's uncertain why Russia would have fired upon the US, knowing it would obviously be foreseen (even without psychic powers, it would have been detected with ample time to retaliate). Some posit that Raven herself had lied about the premonition, seeing what the world had become under the thumb of her terrifying gift, now very clearly a curse. Perhaps she sought to bring the misery inflicted by her and her brother's reign to an end in the only way she could. The camera zooms out from Raven's eye. She stands awestruck in the oval office as a young Cory's off-screen hijinx come to a hilarious end. A chipper tune plays as credits roll. The unaired final episode of Cory in the House draws to an end.
