In Outer Limits season 3 episode 6 titled Dark Rain, viewers are taken on a journey to a small town named New Burden, where a strange and highly-contagious rain has been causing havoc. The episode centers around the struggle of the main characters to figure out the cause of the rain and its effects on the townspeople, while also trying to survive its deadly consequences.

As the episode begins, viewers are introduced to the character of Mike, a local newspaper reporter who has just arrived in New Burden to cover a story about the unusual weather pattern in the area. Mike soon realizes that there is something very different about the rain in this small town, and that it has been causing people to become sick and die within hours of exposure.

As he begins to investigate, Mike discovers that the cause of the rain is not a natural phenomenon but a man-made one, created by a secret government program run by the military. The program's aim is to test a new chemical weapon designed to control the minds of enemy combatants, but the rain has unexpectedly spread to New Burden, infecting the innocent townspeople.

With the help of a local doctor, Sarah, Mike tries to find a way to reverse the effects of the chemical before it's too late, but they soon discover that the military is willing to do anything to keep their program and the true cause of the rain a secret. This includes sending in a team of soldiers to contain the outbreak by any means necessary, even if it means using deadly force.

As the situation becomes increasingly dire, Mike and Sarah race against time to find a cure for the infected townspeople and stop the military from unleashing their deadly weapon. Along the way, they face numerous obstacles and challenges, including a group of rogue soldiers who have decided to take matters into their own hands, as well as the physical and psychological toll of trying to survive in a town under quarantine.

Overall, Outer Limits season 3 episode 6 offers viewers a thrilling and suspenseful story that explores the consequences of military experimentation and the importance of ethical responsibility in science. The episode's strong performances, tight pacing, and poignant themes make it a standout among the series, and a must-watch for fans of sci-fi and drama alike.
