X Minus One – Field Study. ep89, 570220

Frank is a workaholic, and thinks his wife is being neurotic for wanting him to stop working late and take her out dancing for a change. Though he’s always been healthy, a visit to the doctor finds that Frank is a remarkable specimen. By remarkable, he is a prime candidate for a drug experiment. Is Trankor a doctor, a healer, or some kind of phony?

Though Betty has had enough, and decides to go out without Frank, he works late to investigate the mysterious Trankor. Frank suspects that Trankor is from the future. In discussion, Trankor shares a little about his race, culture, and studies, as compared to earth culture.

The studious Trankor wants to be taken out for a night on the town, to get away from the academic way of life. Frank agrees to find Betty, and show Trankor a good time. The escape from reality does Frank good, but is Trankor really from the future, or has an alien hijacked a body to help in studying the human race? And what about Betty? Has her appetite to dance been properly appeased?
