Laser-Guided Karma: The episode "Death and Taxes" has recently deceased IRS agent Roger Stovell resurrected and sent back in time 8 years for a chance to prevent the disappearance of his 5 year-old son. He's told he must tell his past self that the two of them need to help a man whose dog rescue shelter he doomed by denying him deductions. Rogers insists he did everything by the book, but, spurred on by the promise of getting his son back, eventually finds a loophole that allows him to help out the shelter owner. He's brought forward to the day his son disappeared and is enraged and distraught when it happens again even though he did everything he could to make sure things played out differently. However, several hours later his son is found alive and unharmed by dogs belonging to the shelter owner, who by then had parlayed his business into a search and rescue service. | |
