Ep 6. Coming Soon

Allison is distressed about her upcoming six-month job evaluation, which she believes will not go well. The stress of the job evaluation, combined with her being unable to sleep, leads her to have a serious case of writer's block while working on a project for her job. Allison's inability to write causes her to become more anxious, as she worries that she is about to lose her job. As a result, her husband, Joe, suggests that she take a break from her work and go to the movies to take her mind off things.

Allison soon becomes fascinated by the movie she is watching, which has a plot involving a man who becomes a psychic after a near-death experience. This piques her interest, and she begins to wonder if there is any truth to the story. Allison shares her fascination with Joe, who dismisses it as just a movie, but she cannot shake the feeling that there is something more to it.

The next day, Allison meets a woman named Rita who claims to be a psychic. Rita begins to tell Allison about her gift and how she uses it to help people. Allison is initially skeptical, but she soon realizes that Rita is the real deal. Later, Allison has a session with Rita and discovers that she, too, has psychic abilities. Allison is both amazed and frightened by her new gift, but Rita assures her that she has the power to control it and use it to help others.

At the same time, a young woman named Lisa, who is a student at the university where Joe works, goes missing. Allison sees flashes of Lisa's abduction and begins to help the police find her. As she works on the case, she learns more about her gift and how to use it to her advantage.

The episode also deals with the issue of Joe's frustration with his job. Joe is a scientist who is working on a project that he feels is going nowhere. He becomes increasingly disillusioned with his work and begins to question his career choice. Meanwhile, Joe's boss, Lawrence, is impressed with Joe's work and offers him a promotion. Joe is torn between accepting the promotion and staying with his current project, which he believes could be groundbreaking.

The episode ends with Allison and Joe each having a breakthrough with their respective career dilemmas. Allison decides to embrace her new psychic abilities and Joe accepts the promotion, feeling renewed in his passion for his work.

Overall, "Coming Soon" is an intriguing episode that explores themes of career dissatisfaction, psychic powers, and self-discovery. The plot is well-rounded and develops each character's storyline with depth and care. The episode's strength lies in its relatability, as many viewers can identify with the characters' struggles with their jobs and finding their purpose.
