Take a dive into this twisty story of how a man, believed to be the President of the United States, ended up in an institution with no memory of how he got there. 

Henry Cameron has no idea how he ended up in the institution he is in and why he is there. He only knows what his name is. Slowly, he is starting to walk again but he is getting tired of not knowing who he is and the staff doesn’t seem to be helping him. His counselor recommends a type of treatment that may help jog his memory into why he is there. Only he can figure out why he is there, they cannot tell him.

It was after this he is met by a woman who recognizes him from the T.V. He is befuddled at this. A nurse pulls him aside and tells him who he is. He starts to piece together everything but the staff seems hellbent on holding him hostage in this facility. How will he get out?

SPOILER BELOW

Personally, I didn’t care for this episode. I understood the reference being that it was the Fourth of July episode but I found it a little offensive. There seemed to be no reason to the characters treatment and the audience would have a hard time telling what was real and what wasn’t. I understand that there are people that suffer with mental health issues but this episode seemed to make a dark piece. Which is likely the intention as it is an Into the Dark episode.

6/10
