After returning from a flight into space on the X-20, Forbes passes by Nurse and another Nurse while in the hospital hallway. He asks if Major William Gart is in his room and goes into Room 15 and asks Gart how he is doing. Gart notices Forbes is acting weird and Forbes tells him that something has happened. Forbes asks Gart some questions like when he left the hospital and with who. Gart tells him that he didn't leave with anyone Forbes has Gart read the headline from the paper which lists two pilots as part of the X-20 mission. Forbes has Gart go over the details of what he remembers again and then tells him that there were three pilots, Forbes, Gart and Colonel Ed Harrington. Gart tells Forbes that he doesn't know anyone named Harrington and there were only two pilots. Forbes tells Gart what he remembers from the day before.
He remembers him and Harrington being discharged from the hospital and Harrington giving Gart a hard time about being stuck in the hospital. Harrington had picked up the paper which had the headline listing the crash having three pilots. Harrington and Forbes then left and went to a bar. They sat next to Woman at Bar and the Bartender recognized them and offered to buy them drinks. Woman at Bar asked Forbes what its like in space and Harrington suddenly went into a daze. He dropped his glass of beer and told Forbes that he just had the feeling like he didn't belong on Earth anymore and he might disappear. Harrington went to use the pay phone to call his parents and afterwards called Forbes over to him. He tells Forbes that his mother answered the phone and said she didn't have a son named Ed and his father said he didn't have a son either. Harrington tells Forbes that he has the feeling that maybe they weren't meant to come back on the flight. Forbes walks over to get Harrington a drink and notices the newspaper now says there were only two pilots. He turns back to where Harrington was and Harrington is gone. Forbes asks where Harrington's drink is and the Bartender tells him that he came alone. Forbes runs to his quarters and there is a knock on the door. He opens the door and Amy walks in. She angrily tells him that she waited at the bus stop for him to pick her up for hours. He looks for the telegram he sent her that mentioned Harrington, but it now only mentions himself. Amy says she doesn't know Harrington. The phone rings and the general doesn't know anyone named Harrington either. Forbes thinks he is being pranked and runs back to the bar. He breaks in and doesn't find Harrington.
Forbes ends his story to Gart, but Gart tells him he still doesn't remember Harrington. Forbes tells Gart he knows Harrington isn't an illusion and runs out of the hospital room screaming and disappears.
