- (After "The Pass") Jonathan Frakes: Had Eddie remained in his hospital room instead of snooping around the morgue, he might still be alive today. His father would have had a chance to gently and lovingly tell him of his brother's death. Instead, the way he came upon his twin brother's body so unexpectedly proved to be too much for his fragile heart to handle. And all because he went to the morgue, a place he didn't belong. Did the fates conspire to bring a curious boy and the body of his identical twin together at the same time... or are we conspiring to mislead you? Edit
- (Before "The Pass") Jonathan Frakes: An all access pass is a precious commodity because it takes you wherever you want to go, everybody wants one. Yet they're only issued to a precious few. People who will pay thousands of dollars for such passes at sports events, rock concerts, press conferences. At a hospital, it takes on a different meaning. Only the most qualified, professional personnel can be allowed to have one, the rest of us can only guess what life and death mysteries are hidden within the corridors of a medical center. But with the help of this pass... two young men are about to find out. Edit
- (After "The Portrait") Jonathan Frakes: Did William Corzine really have the power to end the lives of his subjects? Or were their death a logical extension of their extremely fragile states of health? If so, then how do you explain the death of Michelle Taylor, a young woman in the prime of her life? Of course, she was despondent over a lost love and deep depression has been known to contribute to the demise of an otherwise healthy individual. And what of William's final gesture? Did he really take his own life by painting his self-portrait or had the gruesome circumstances of his life become too much for his heart to bear? Could this story of an artist be inspired by actual events, or is this a tale of artful deception? Edit
