In Garth Marenghi's Dark Place season 1 episode 6, titled "The Creeping Moss From The Shores of Shuggoth," the beloved team at Dark Place hospital faces a new and terrifying foe in the form of an unknown green substance that begins to spread rapidly throughout the building. As the mossy substance infects more and more patients and staff members, the hospital becomes a warzone, with everyone trying to find a way to contain and destroy the threat.
At the same time, the personal lives of the Dark Place staff are also thrown into chaos. Dr. Rick Dagless, the heroic doctor played by Garth Marenghi himself, finds himself torn between his love for his girlfriend and his loyalty to his team. Meanwhile, Dr. Lucien Sanchez (played by Todd Rivers) struggles to come to terms with his recently discovered ability to control and manipulate time.
As the episode progresses, tensions rise and the stakes get higher and higher. The moss continues to spread, infecting everything in its path and posing a threat not only to Dark Place hospital but to the entire world. It's up to Dagless, Sanchez, and the rest of the team to come up with a plan to stop the creeping moss before it's too late.
