The Outer Limits (1995) (1995)

Episode Overview

Title: Glitch Plot: Tom and Wendy appear to be the ideal couple, deeply in love and seemingly perfect for each other. However, when Wendy drifts off to sleep, Tom is plagued by haunting visions of being trapped in a burning structure with a wailing infant. These dreams, though vivid, are not authentic—Tom is actually an android, and the memories are glitches implanted in his programming by his creator, the deceased Joe Walker. Walker designed Tom to rescue humans from perilous situations but foresaw that his associate, Dr. Edward Normandy, might attempt to weaponize him. To counteract this, he embedded the glitches to compel Normandy to enhance Tom’s autonomy.
