Reunion is the fifth episode of the short-lived Fox science-fiction action series "Harsh Realm". It was the second of six remaining episodes that were aired on the Fox affiliate fX after the series was abruptly cancelled.

Plot synopsis

Captured and pressed into a work camp in Harsh Realm, Hobbes (Scott Bairstow) and Pinocchio (D. B. Sweeney) meet a VC of Hobbes' dying mother (Anna Hagan) and try to rescue her and escape without getting rendered by the sadistic warden (Tobin Bell) and his zombie trackers. In the real world, Sophie (Samantha Mathis) comforts Hobbes' real mom in her last days, leading to a harrowing moment of connection.

Allusions

* Pinocchio calls one of the camp guards "Lurch," making reference to the 1960's ABC television series "The Addams Family".
