It would be a difficult task to come up with the most bizarre or unexplainable story in the 'One Step Beyond' universe, but this one has to rank right up there among them. Recovering from a scarlet fever coma, a twelve year old girl doesn't recognize her parents and suddenly sets out to another home across town to a couple who she recognizes as her own father and mother. Adding to the mystery is the sudden reversal of the purported mother's trance-like state following the drowning death of their own daughter. But when Helen Mason (Anna Lee) sees the young girl, she is newly convinced that her own real daughter has truly passed away. This is a role reversal story like no one you've ever encountered before.
Upon a medical doctor's advice, Laurie Warren (Reba Waters) stays with the Mason family, but soon after Mrs. Mason becomes pregnant and suddenly the veil of recognition is lifted and Laurie realizes she needs to go back to her own parents. The only explanation offered by series host John Newland is that the spirit of Alice Mason lived in Laurie Warren for this brief period of time. Perhaps an unsatisfactory answer for most, but how would you explain it?
