Little over 10 weeks ago, Celtic Park staged one of the most consequential league fixtures in the history of Scottish football.
A final-day title decider between Scotland's serial winners Celtic and hopeful history-makers Hearts - which captivated audiences across the globe.
Ordinarily, a tough act to follow, but the Scottish football summer soap opera has already reset the storyline ahead of the new season.
With all six opening weekend Premiership fixtures live on Sky Sports for the first time ever - here is what to look out for in the sequel to the best season in decades…
Tynecastle turnover and Rangers refresh
Derek McInnes' Hearts were three minutes away from winning their first top-flight league title in 66 years and becoming the first non-Old Firm club to lift the trophy since Sir Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen in 1985.
When captain Lawrence Shankland nodded the Jambos in front shortly before half-time, the miracle was well and truly on.
One hour later, their hearts were broken, and Celtic were champions for the 13th time in 14 years.
One month later, the aforementioned Shankland and McInnes had departed for title rivals Rangers.
The Ibrox club made the former Tynecastle skipper their first signing of the summer window after being alerted to a clause in his contract which allowed the lifelong Rangers fan to leave one year into a three-year deal.
His boss, a fellow boyhood supporter of the Glasgow side, followed soon after to replace outgoing head coach Danny Röhl, who left for RB Salzburg.
The former Rangers midfielder added a further four players to his ranks, before recruiting another Hearts player in influential midfielder Cammy Devlin on a free transfer - ouch.
Across the M8, Belgian manager of the year Wouter Vrancken was identified by Jamestown Analytics as McInnes' successor, and he quickly got to work on assembling a new-look squad.
Ten players in, ten players out, and nine years left of Tony Bloom's decade-long masterplan to win the title.
Martin and McLeish
Any good sequel needs a returning hero.
Martin O'Neill is back, for what is technically a fourth spell at Celtic Park.
The 74-year-old full of wit and wisdom dragged his underperforming and uninspiring squad to a domestic double - and has decided he's not quite ready to retire again.
He could have walked away and cut the ribbon himself on a statue on the Celtic Way, but instead has gone to bat for the board in press conferences amid another summer punctuated with growing supporter frustration over the speed of their transfer activity.
Key contributors Daizen Maeda, Kelechi Iheanacho, Marcelo Saracchi and Kasper Schmeichel have all departed and the club have been slow to the replace them.
Camilo Duran is O'Neill's only new acquisition of the summer so far, however, Celtic are set to break their transfer record to bring in Bodø/Glimt striker Kasper Høgh for £11m plus add-ons.
Talks are also ongoing with further targets - including Real Oviedo winger Haissem Hassan who impressed at the World Cup for Egypt.
From Parkhead to Paisley, we have another returning hero.
Craig McLeish, almost 40 years junior to O'Neill, has been rewarded with the managerial job at St Mirren after successfully navigating the relegation play-offs to renew the Buddies' Premiership status.
He has a big job on his hands too, 12 first-team players have left the club, including captain Mark O'Hara and top goalscorer Mikael Mandron.
Fan favourites flee Fir Park and Falkirk
If you think that's bad, spare a thought for Motherwell supporters.
The "best footballing side" of last campaign have lost: their manager Jens Berthel Askou to Toulouse; Players' Player of the Year Elijah Just to Swansea; Coaches' Player of the Year Elliot Watt to Samsunspor; clean-sheet record-breaking goalkeeper Calum Ward to QPR; centurion midfielder Callum Slattery to Sheffield Wednesday; and the league's top scorer Tawanda Maswanhise continues to be linked with a move away from the club.
Five of those players were included in last season's PFA Scotland Team of the Year alongside captain Paul McGinn, who is still injured, as is his deputy Stephen O'Donnell.
Askou's successor, Alfred Johansson, is the youngest manager in the Scottish Premiership at just 35-years-old but already has three years of managerial experience under his belt at Norwegian side Rosenborg.
It's a similar story at Falkirk too, but they've been able to keep hold of manager John McGlynn for now - despite links with the Scotland national team.
McGlynn's double promotion-winning Bairns upset the odds by securing a top six finish in their first season back in the top-flight for 15 years, but like the Steelmen, will be without their top performers in the new season.
Player of the Year Calvin Miller has signed for Hearts, Young Player of the Year Filip Lissah has returned to Swansea after a successful loan spell, and Scottish Football Writers' Association Young Player of the Year Barney Stewart was sold to West Bromwich Albion.
Summer signings - and lots of them
There are more than 80 new players in the Scottish Premiership.
Hearts and Aberdeen are leading the charge in terms of aggressive recruitment with 10 new signings each as part of Vrancken and Stephen Robinson's respective rebuilds.
At Pittodrie, the former St Mirren League Cup-winning boss is bidding to return to the Dons to the top-six and European football this term after finishing ninth last year.
They'll face competition for those reduced [four instead of five] European places from David Gray's Hibernian; they finished fifth last season and have brought in five new players including ex-St Johnstone double-winning captain Jason Kerr.
Dundee United have also been busy this summer; Jim Goodwin has added nine new faces to build on their seventh-place finish from last season.
However, across Tannadice Street, their city rivals haven't been quite as active.
Steven Pressley's side have lost 13 first-team players, including standout defender Luke Graham to Stoke as well as impressive loan trio Yan Dhanda, Cameron Congreve and Tony Yogane - who has signed for Premiership rivals Aberdeen from Brentford. Former Hearts winger Alan Forrest is one of six Dark Blue acquisitions so far.
There have also been high-profile departures at Kilmarnock as midfielder David Watson moved to Bolton Wanderers while captain Brad Lyons and defender Lewis Mayo swapped Ayrshire for Aberdeen.
The pick of Killie boss Neil McCann's six new signings is former St Mirren captain O'Hara. The academy graduate returns to his first professional club and will be supported in midfield by Rangers-loanee Bailey Rice.
Premiership new boys St Johnstone are back in the top-flight after a year out and manager Simo Valakari has held onto the majority of his Championship-winning squad - with the exception of Player of the Year Josh McPake to Hearts.
