    I always thought the episode premise describes on reddit was kinda dumb.

    Why doesn’t he just say there’s five lights knowing there’s four so he can get out and start helping people who need him?

    Useless pride? Or do they have some kind of monitoring system that only releases him if he tricks himself into believing there’s now five lights?

      Because it’s an entertaining TV show that likes morality tales. Applying real-world logic to most any show would stop the show in the first 5 minutes.

        “I had a minor misunderstanding with my friend, how can I fix it?!”

        ‘… talk to them about it?’

        “oh, right.”
