So I need some information cleared up, if anyone actually knows anything about the latter stages of Before Crisis?

OBVIOUSLY SPOILERS

FOR REAL DONT READ PAST THIS

I'M SERIOUS

1.) If the Turks were all declared traitors by Shinra, how did Tseng, Reno, and Rude avoid being lumped together in that?

2.) How does Sears die?

3.) Is Jade WEAPON canon or not?

4.) Can anyone summarize the side missions (Tseng/Reno/Rude/Legend)?

5.) Summaries of Episodes 22-25 would also be nice.

6.) What became of Elfe and Verdot?

7.) At what point does Heidegger gain control of the Turks?

8.) What was the deal with the whole burning of Kalm by Verdot? Was that his fault or no?

9.) What happens plot-wise in DoC: Lost Episode. I know that Vincent's chopper gets shot down and he has to go to Shinra Manor on foot, but other than that...

10.) Is there a date for when Cait Sith was originally created?

I'm sure I'll think of more later. >_> Thanks.
