 SEASON 1, EPISODE 21 IDENTITY CRISIS As a former flower child of the sixties, architect Buddy Powers (Jeff Conaway) approaches his "living nightmare"- his 40th birthday- at a crossroads. His only son is a merciless corporate tyrant, who punishes those who eschew the fascist ideals of 'The Corporation'. Also, a teenage misfit (Kimberley Kates) questions her lineage as a tale of horror set in a grisly orphanage from hell haunts her days and nights as she researches- and finds- the scary truth of her history.
