Weber suggests a new drug, Olanzapine, which may help Mark out of his Capdras and other symptoms that have manifested. Once Mark starts the new drug, he tells Karin he now realizes what happened to him in the accident: he died and no one realized it! Later, he takes an overdose of the medication, figuring what's the difference, he's already dead. When the hospital brings him back, the only person he will speak with is Weber. Weber and Barbara's lives become entangled in their attempts to solve Mark's problems and help Karin get back to her own life. Will the solution to the car accident be the answer for Mark's problems and Karin's identity crisis?
