Ep 3. Guilty

Tom continues to struggle with the reality of his two worlds in episode 3 of Awake season 1, titled "Guilty." In this episode, Tom tries to hide his own personal guilt from his family while dealing with a man on trial who may be innocent.

In the Red World, Detective Britten is assigned to investigate a case involving a man named Carl, who is on trial for killing his wife and daughter. Carl insists that he is innocent, but the evidence against him is overwhelming. Meanwhile, in the Green World, Britten tries to cope with the fact that his son Rex may be hiding something from him, and he deals with a series of nightmares that seem to be plaguing him.

As Britten delves deeper into the case, he begins to see parallels between Carl's situation and his own. Carl insists that he is being framed by someone else, just like Britten believes that he is being manipulated by some force beyond his control. Although he knows that he should stay impartial as a detective, Britten begins to sympathize with Carl's predicament.

Meanwhile, in the Green World, Britten discovers that Rex has been going through his mother's things and finds a box of her belongings. Britten is initially upset that Rex has been keeping secrets from him, but he eventually realizes that Rex might be trying to cope with his own feelings about his mother's death.

As the trial progresses, Britten becomes more convinced that Carl is innocent, and he tries to find evidence to support his theory. However, he soon faces resistance from his colleagues who believe that Carl is guilty and should be punished.

In the Green World, the nightmares that have been haunting Britten become more intense, and he starts to see glimpses of his own guilt. He begins to question whether he is responsible for the death of his family and wonders if he is being punished for his own misdeeds.

As the episode comes to a close, Tom tries to reconcile his feelings of guilt with the reality of his two worlds. He realizes that he can't keep hiding the truth from his family and that he needs to face his own demons in order to move forward.

Overall, "Guilty" is a tense and emotional episode that explores themes of guilt and responsibility. It also shows how Tom's dual realities can sometimes intersect in unexpected ways, and how he must navigate both worlds in order to find the truth.
