    Excellent Portrayal of the Actual Event
    I remember the incident this episode portrays. The Deadly Devotion is spot-on. Although this is an honest portrayal of Scientology, it is just the tip of the iceberg Check out Going Clear or read Tony Ortega (who appears in the show)'s The Incredible Miss Lovely or Leah Remini's Troublemaker.

    One thing Scientologists do is go and mark what they call "entheta" such as give a bad review or do a smear website. I'll bet that will be the case here.

    If you've ever lived in California, the recruiters with their e-meters recruiting people is a common site. I just had to laugh when I saw it here but it's really no laughing matter if you get caught up in this nonsense.
