- In "A View Through the Window", Major Ben Darnell is a brilliant physicist and a grieving father, whose estranged wife blames him for the tragic accidental death of their little son. He's called up to a top secret location, where the military is investigating a strange supernatural phenomenon. A portal to another place has somehow appeared in the middle of the desert and an invisible barrier is blocking it. The soldiers can see the people on the other side - a seemingly happy pilgrimesque family that's living in a picturesque farmhouse surrounded by a luscious green field, but the family can't see the portal or what's on the other side, so they're living their idyllic everyday life like normal. Darnell is stricken by them, since they represent everything he wishes for in his tragic life. He eventually realizes that the barrier disappears for a few seconds each day and decides to risk everything to cross over to the other side despite his commanding officer's direct order not to try anything until they learn more about these people and their world. In "Quiet Please", meekly overstressed Gerald is on a weekend getaway in the local state park. All he wants is to be left alone and enjoy some peace and quiet in the forest. However, he quickly runs into Camper Ben, who sees the park as his second home. Although Gerald insists on being left alone, Ben annoyingly always runs into him somehow. Things take a drastic turn when Ben's pet german shepherd ends up dead. Ben is sure that a grizzly bear is following them and that his unfortunate dog is just its first victim, but Gerald still just wants to be left alone.
- Army Major Ben Darnell (Bill Pullman) is called in to investigate why a house suddenly appears in the middle of an empty desert. The house is surrounded by what is appearently a transparent, impenetrable force-field. This house is also inhabited by a peaceful Amish-looking family who appearently cannot see, and are completely unaware of the rather large company of US soldiers surrounding and studying their house. Major Darnell tries desperately to communicate with this family, to find out who they are, how their house appeared in the middle of the empty desert, and why their house seems surrounded by an invisible one-way barrier. He also soon becomes fascinated, and eventually infatuated with a beautiful young woman (Janna Ballard) who is a member of the mysterious family. Major Darnell eventually manages to devise a way to communicate with the woman that he has become so captivated with. The episode culminates as Major Darnell finally perfects a method of crossing the invisible and impenetrable barrier, only to find that the "The View Through The Window" was not everything that it had seemed.
