He presents as a case study an Iraq war veteran named Liam, whose PTSD Powell believes is not from his time fighting in Iraq but rather from a past life as a soldier named Tommy fighting in the Korean War trying to be saved by one of his fellow soldiers who ultimately got shot in the back. Regardless of what he is facing, Liam just wants his emotional pain to go away. Following the seminar, another man named Ryder Newburn accuses Liam of stealing the Korea story from his soon to be published graphic novel, the story almost exactly as in the book down to the names and places. Seeing his past life more clearly in his regression visions, Liam is able to see Ryder as that other soldier in Korea, the one who tried to save him. In speaking to Ryder, Daniel and Carolyn learn that he, a pacifist, is currently suffering from these similar visions, what he sees in his dreams. They have to convince Ryder that they at least have to try to help him emotionally by finding out if he was indeed that soldier in a past life. In the process, they have to try and figure out what accounts for some major POV differences between Liam and Ryder's stories. Meanwhile, based on Sophie's suggestion they bring in an exchange student as a boarder, Carolyn contemplates doing the long put off task of cleaning Will's bedroom. Something she goes through with Daniel helps Carolyn decide what to do with this matter. And upon meeting up unexpectedly with a friend from Kenya, Zed begins to see a divergence in what he wants for his future and what is expected of him. Written by Huggo See less
