This was quite a different episode. A man beset by abject terror, beginning at the age of six, when he is convinced he immolated his little sister in an orphanage, finds himself in a doctor's office, trying to find a way to change this. He is not only frightened; he is hallucinatory. He sees the fire and the man who tells him over and over that he has committed the most heinous act. He is also victimized in his real world by punks who travel in a pace and steal from him and tell him what they will do to him. As a radical procedure begins to work and he becomes more assertive (even meeting a nice girl with past issues of her own) he begins to confront some of the things ailing him. There are a couple of kickers. Even though he knows in his own mind he never started that fire, he continues to be haunted by the face of the evil man who did this to him. The other issue is that as he has responded to the treatment, he now has the ability to bring great fear to those with whom he finds anger. This is one of the more creative efforts and it is enthralling.

Fear, and the mind...identifying the real enemy

Warning: Spoilers
What a great episode!!
It started a but strange, so did not know what to expect.
But, as the story goes on, it gets quite gripping and really sides you with the main character. I was hoping for once, that the good guy gets what he deserves.
Esp in the light of the baddies he had to defend himself from, whether they be the everyday morons in public, or those who are in respected and trusted positions, abusing such, and making others the victim. Here you get an everyday guy, who is already dealing with issues beyond himself, becoming victim to these weaklings of society, who seek any opportunity to control and destroy him.
The guy was originally destroyed by something that he had supposedly done, for which he is still paying the price....i think many can relate to such.
Actually watched the second half a second time, just to see that i did not miss anything.
