Bruce Greenwood's least favorite episode and the most far-fetched of the entire series, Forever Jung presents the premise that the organization re-generates people and programs them to work mindlessly for the conspiracy.Following up on information in the Palmtop, Tom journeys to a Minnesota town and an old folks' home that seems to have sinister science projects connected to some of the inmates. Befriending an old but healthy ex-dancer named Pauline, Tom is surprized to be told of her death just hours after he's spoken to her. Suspicious and curious he investigates her records and uncovers a plot to change old women into young beautiful sex-pots, who are then implanted with control devices to kill on command. Tom is captured by the head doctor just as he's uncovering his own files that indicate Alyson had been programmed 5 days before his erasure. He's saved by the young Pauline, whose implant has not yet been completed, but when he successfully brings down the plant he turns all the young women back into semblences of their older selves. A now mentally dysfunctional Pauline asks Tom to dance with her as the episode slowly fades away.
A completely ridiculous premise, the bizarre finale seems to exite many fans, who choose to ignore the more improbable aspects of the plot and fixate on the elements pertaining to Tom's wife Alyson and the possibility she'd either been cloned for Tom or implanted with a device to betray him. I can't quite accept either. I also found the bimbo-clad assassins quite laughable and a throw-back to 60s programming. This was quite possibly Nowhere Man's least auspices airing.
