[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

David Gurney wakes up to find that nobody knows him, and all evidence of his identity had disappeared. He is placed in an insane asylum; however, he manages to escape. He finds a photograph of himself and his wife together. However, when the police arrive with a psychiatrist, the picture has somehow changed and portrays Gurney alone. He throws himself to the ground and wakes up in his bed. The whole adventure was a bad dream. His wife gets up from the bed and talks to him from the bathroom, where she removes cream from her face. When she emerges, Gurney is horrified to discover that, even though she acts and talks the same way, his wife does not look at all like the wife he knows.

[edit] Trivia

The premise of this episode is remarkably similar to the 1995 UPN series Nowhere Man. In that series, Thomas Veil (Bruce Greenwood) also discovers that his identity has mysteriously been taken away from him, and even his wife claims not to recognize him. Veil spends the series trying to track down proof of his identity, and on several occasions he thinks he has proof but then it is mysteriously "erased". While we never learn what is behind Gurney's troubles, Nowhere Man does offer an explanation of sorts for Veil's dilemma.
