霍斯成為一宗雙重謀殺案的疑犯.
霍斯見到夢似的幻象,自己隱約返到兒時,見到父母為某事發生爭執,霍斯醒來發現自己在一旅館,他的手和恤衫沾滿鮮血.丹娜收到霍斯來電來到,可是霍斯並不能憶起自己如何來到旅館,丹娜發現霍斯的手鎗開了兩發,又發現霍斯駛David Cassandra和Amy Cassandra的車來旅館.他們去到Cassandra宅遇上管家,屋內放著很多圖畫,都是描畫一間白色的屋,霍斯依稀記得自己曾去過該小屋.管家給予小屋的地址,他們去到發現真有此屋,突然,霍斯又生幻象,見到兒時父母爭執時,煙鏟也在他家.他們進屋發現的竟是David和Amy的屍體.
Curtis探員化驗過霍斯恤衫的血跡,竟與Amy和David的血跡不謀而合,霍斯立時被扣押!但藥物報告顯示Amy和霍斯的血液中均有麻醉藥Ketamine,丹娜懷疑那是令霍斯失去記憶的罪魁禍首.這時一警員Michael Fazekas在洗手間吞鎗自殺,丹娜發現警官和Amy的頭皮均有痂.Curtis告訴丹娜Fazekas是個飛碟迷,丹娜發現Amy也自稱曾受外星人俘虜.
化驗報告顯示血液濺出的程度不似是霍斯所殺,Curtis終認為Amy先殺其夫再自殺,於是釋放霍斯.丹娜得知Amy曾去Dr. Charles Goldstein處做治療,以求釋放潛意識,Goldstein也承認有用電流刺激治療者腦袋藉以喚起深層記憶.
霍斯又見幻象,見煙鏟摟著其母想親她.霍斯和丹娜去到霍斯母親之家,在那兒霍斯質問其母與煙鏟先生有何勾當,認為她對丈夫不忠,霍斯之母大怒,說霍斯屈她,當下一個兜巴星,霍斯氣沖沖獨個離開.
霍斯迫Goldstein繼續對他治療,令他可憶起過去的片斷,Goldstein麻醉了霍斯,把鑽咀對準霍斯的頭...不久,警察來到,把Goldstein拘捕,但霍斯卻不知所蹤,Goldstein說霍斯要去驅走自己的心魔.於是丹娜去到昆諾康第,果然見霍斯在渡假屋,霍斯拔鎗準備自裁,一輪爭辯後,霍斯舉鎗指著丹娜,她告訴霍斯藥物引起的連鎖幻象並不可信,霍斯開火,狂射丹娜身後的玻璃.他終於放下手鎗,落下男兒淚,丹娜不斷安慰他.
