The Sliders appear in the middle of a home for the mentally ill and
what passes for an inmate riot. In the
turmoil Rembrandt and Maggie become separated from others. Diana is
immediately mistaken for one of the inmates and is locked up. Meanwhile
Mallory has successfully avoided incarceration and is now masquerading
as a Doctor.
Our heroes learn that this is not an asylum in the conventional sense.
It's more a political correctional
facility for wrong thinkers. On this world any kind of creative thought
is considered an aberration and all violators are subject to a mind-correcting
procedure known as brain re- mapping. Diana undergoes such a procedure.
When Mallory finally locates Diana he discovers that, because they are
both from a different world, the
process has somehow adversely altered Diana, turning her into some
kind of cosmic savant. Supposedly her
consciousness is now able to leave her body and access a greater human
collective consciousness.
Rembrandt and Maggie break back into the asylum and locate the others.
But is Diana really there in her body or is she just a shell of her former
self? The Sliders must find a way to return Diana's consciousness to the
human plain and her body or lose her forever when the timer runs out.
