Re-Generation
After their four-year-old son, Justin, dies in a household accident, aspiring politician, Graham Highfield, and his wife, Rebecca, get a second chance at happiness. Dr. Lucy Cole clones a new embryo from Justin's brain and nerve cells and implants it in Rebecca's womb. As the pregnancy progresses, however, it becomes clear to Rebecca that this isn't just any fetus--this is Justin himself, a fetus with the skills and the memories of a little boy. As he shares those memories with his mother, Justin reveals secrets that may destroy the whole family.
The father was in actuality responsible for Justin's death. And when Justin warns his mother of what his father had done and may repeat, she struggles to escape from and ultimately shoots her own husband. Not long after this incident, Justin is born and nurtured by his mother. However, Justin's father has undergone the same cloning process and has been implanted into the female biologist's womb.
By D. Stuart, The Outer Limits moderator on Thursday, December 23, 1999 - 1:43 pm: My nitpicks are as numerically proceeds:
1) Did the wife not hand her bag to her husband prior to fleeing from him and nearing the staircase down which she feared he would throw her?
2) Not truly a nitpick, but the husband's alleged intent to slay his wife, in my humble opinion, was too low-key to be considered sought murder.
