The Refuge
"What is reality?" is the question before Raymond Bava after he collapses during a blizzard and awakens in a private refuge run by Sanford. Valle's companions include his son and daughter-in-law, Thomas and Justine, and Gina Beaumont. Ray, drawn to the gentle Gina, recoils from the callous corruption displayed by the all-controlling Valle and the other inhabitants. Then, following a moment of violence, Ray begins to doubt reality when all the characters, including Gina, reverse roles and personalities. When he is suddenly freed from Valle's control, Ray finds he has been locked in a cryogenic-induced nightmare, but one he must return to fulfill his love for Gina.

And, a rarity in this show, we get a happy ending. Valle dies, his control is ended, and the others can live in the VR until they can be revived (they are all in suspended animation due to be terminally ill).
