Peter orders the Threesixtyp “Quantum Helmet,” a bulky VR headset with “SEASON 16” stenciled on the side. It arrives via a sweaty, terrified UPS driver (who mutters, “Don’t put it on after midnight”).
Suddenly, Peter is inside a familiar scene: the living room. But he’s not on the couch. He’s the camera . He turns his head left—there’s Lois, mid-argument. Right—Brian is typing something sarcastic on a laptop. Behind him—Chris is eating a bowl of cereal that seems to refill itself.
