We initially see him given unauthorised shock treatment by an orderly named Butch (Bruce A. Young) over the objections of Nurse Chatham (Lee Garlington).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p>When Al shows up he finds Sam slipping between the personalities of previous leapees &#8211; but also that he is visible to other patients including Tibby (Scott Lawrence). As a Dr Masters (David Proval) tries to probe Sam&#8217;s condition, Al tries to complete his task and prompt a leap he hopes will resolve the problems caused by the shock therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p>Shock Theater was directed by Joe Napolitano, the seventh of his twelve episodes.
