Summary
Finch is Skyrim on VR with a mod that places him as an observer in Helgen when he discovers that: 1. The Dragonborn can see and hear him; 2. He has full collision with the game, and can’t find his house walls; and 3. The VR headset won’t come off. As time goes on, more and more videogame menu options are taken away from him as the world of Skyrim inexorably becomes real.
Told from the point of view of the Dragonborn, a nobody from Cyrodiil whose destiny seems to be tied up with this madman from Helgen.

Summary
What if Abe's search for Abigail was inconclusive?
At the end of episode 20, Best Foot Forward, Jo stopped by Henry's place to discuss something important with him, only to be interrupted by Abe and his new findings about Abigail. What if he found nothing, and didn't interrupt their talk? How would it have gone?
Yes, this is a 'what if' scenario that doesn't directly relate to Henry's secret, but the scene was so Nick Of Time that I still needed to take it Out Of.
