 SEASON 1, EPISODE 24 PIPE DREAM After years of struggle, a frustrated dreamer (Michael Constantine) turns to the supernatural to achieve success. Using a devilish pipe given to him by Lewis Vendredi, he begins to eliminate anyone in his way by shrouding them in a cloud of the pipe's smoke. He uses the pipe to steal an idea, then to kill a colleague who discovers his terrifying secret. Unfortunately, the dreamer is Ryan's father, Ray, and although the two have been estranged for years, Ray's fiancee Connie invites Ryan to their wedding in hopes of reconciliation. Ryan and Micki go, and learn all about Ray's supposed invention: a laser-sighted, gas-powered spear gun, as well as Ray's planned demonstration that could make him a wealthy man. Although the reunion is a rocky one, Ryan refuses to believe the truth behind the pipe-- but is it too late? CAST & CREW RYAN DALLION- JOHN D.
