Complete story — includes the ending

In Los Angeles, 1975, Mobley is approached by film producer Howard Zimmerman, who wants to adapt his novel The Planet Wyh. After Mobley discovers that Zimmerman and actress Vivian Lord are tricking him, he nearly kills him and takes the name "Ennis Stussy" before fleeing the state. In the present, Gloria goes to L.A. to collect information on Mobley. She approaches both the crippled Zimmerman and Vivian for information, but they deny knowing him. She encounters Paul Marrane, a strange but friendly man she met on the plane ride over, who tells her a parable that invokes the idea of Schrödinger's cat. Vivian contacts Gloria and admits the truth about what happened. Back in Minnesota, she learns that LeFay's fingerprints were found in Ennis's house and that the former died in an "accident" the same night. Throughout the episode, animated segments depict the plot of The Planet Wyh: A robot named Minsky wanders a planet for millions of years after his masters die in a crash, eventually being found by an alien race that thanks him for the information he collected over millennia before switching him off.
