And now for something completely different...

Nice twist to this episode, written by Christina Ray and directed by J.B.
Sugar. Extraordinarily talented Canadian actor Ian Tracey (Da Vinci's
Inquest) plays Morgan's latest client, Timothy Alpert, an expert in the field
of philosophy who works as a customer service rep at a big-box store, and
uses the power the Devil (played by Ted Cole in this ep) gave him to alter
people's reality, their perception of their lives, making them more centred
and content.

Unfortunately, Morgan too falls under his spell, and the memories of his
tortured past and miserable life as a soul collector are replaced with happy
new ones. In this rosy-fresh reality, Morgan is living with Maya in a nice
apartment and preparing for their future together as husband and wife.
They're madly in love and enjoy expressing their affection with each other
(it's always nice to see Chris Kramer naked in bed -- unfortunately, the
woman he's with isn't me). :(

Kudos to Aidan Drummond who finally gets to stretch his vocal cords with some
serious dialogue. Actual full-out intelligent sentences as, in Morgan's new
reality, Gabriel is not only a happy, healthy kid but his parents, Jeri and
Danny (Ellen Dubin and Andrew Jackson in a return engagement) are alive and
well, and joyously preparing for their son's 10th birthday.

But as Timothy's power begins to fade in his final hours before eternal
damnation, Morgan starts to see the cracks in his blissful new life with Maya
and, with time quickly ticking down, scrambles to help his client find his
redemption before his soul is lost forever.

A job well-done by everyone involved -- especially the editors, who had to
slip in dozens of flashback scenes from many previous episodes.
