Never Forget

I always wondered what if our memories our saved or viewed? Finally, an episode about this.

In the future, forgetting is not on the dictionary. They're recorded somehow and you can view it anytime, anywhere. Fantastic as it may seem, it has consequences.

Really great episode and love the drama and all.
