"Last Supper" is an episode of The Outer Limits television show. It first aired on 31 January 1997, during the third season.
Frank Martin's son Danny brings home a beautiful girl to meet his family. The girl, Jade, looks exactly like a girl Frank once rescued from a top-secret military experiment 20 years before.
The episode opens with Frank Martin and his wife Carol preparing for a visit from their son, Danny. The two engage in some nervous banter and reveal that Danny is bringing his new girlfriend, Jade, to the dinner. However, shortly after Danny and Jade arrive, Frank has a vivid flashback to an event that took place 20 years prior when he was still an Army MP; he was once the guard of a young woman who was the target of horrifically painful experiments, and she looked identical to Jade.
It is later revealed through flashbacks that since Frank had just returned from a tour in Vietnam as a field medic due to injury, he was unable to turn a blind eye to the experiments going on in his reassignment. Deeply troubled by his experiences, he returned to the United States unable to reconnect with his wife and finding little enjoyment in his job. While being assigned to guard a military lab, he was stationed outside a testing chamber with a young woman strapped in medical stirrups who had piercing green eyes and was often screaming in pain. Upon hearing the young woman beg for help, he entered the lab, freed her from her restraints, and had a brief struggle with the leading scientist, Dr. Sinclair. During this scuffle, Dr. Sinclair warned that the young woman wasn't human, and that billions of lives could be saved if Frank gave up. At the end of their struggle, a series of compressed oxygen tanks broke, and when Dr. Sinclair fired a stray shot at the fleeing pair, the resulting explosion threw Frank and the young woman from the building through a second story window. As the two got up from the explosion, the woman identified herself as "Laura," and the two spent the night together after fleeing the scene. While on the run for the night, they shared both intimate conversation and a physical encounter. Even so, he and Laura parted ways, leaving Frank to later reconnect with his wife and repair his marriage.
