A brilliant but mousy college professor is pressured by his wife to make something more of his life. For various reasons, despite being the most senior employee, has never achieved full professorship but seems content to do the work he is doing at his present position. He reveals to his wife that he has discovered something that in the wrong hands would bring the world down to succumb to the wishes to whoever wielded it. He refuses to publish or share it to protect humanity. At the same time he has invited a poor graduate student to live with them. He is a follower and student of the professor’s work which appears to be in the supernatural, past lives, reincarnation. The student convinces the professor’s wife that she is the reincarnation of an ancient queen.

The episode seemed to a little disjointed and the exact nature of the professors work remained unknown which, to me at least, contributed to the disjointedness of the episode.
