In this episode of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, titled Skipper the Eye Child, we are taken on a twisted journey through the mind of a disturbed patient. The episode begins with a young girl, named Skipper, being admitted to Darkplace hospital after displaying strange behavior and having an eye magically appear on the palm of her hand.
The hospital staff is baffled by Skipper's condition, as they have never seen anything like it before. Dr. Rick Dagless, the hospital's chief physician and the show's protagonist, takes a keen interest in Skipper's case and becomes determined to find out what is causing her bizarre symptoms.
As the episode progresses, we watch as Skipper becomes increasingly more out of control, attacking hospital staff and speaking in an otherworldly language. Dr. Dagless and his team of doctors try their best to keep her under control, but their efforts are in vain as Skipper appears to be possessed by some sort of supernatural entity.
But that's not all - we also get to see some of the hospital staff's personal lives outside of work. We learn that Dr. Sanchez, one of the hospital's doctors, has a difficult relationship with his wife, who craves the attention of other men. We also see another doctor, Liz Asher, struggling with her sense of self-worth and constantly seeking validation from those around her.
Eventually, Dr. Dagless discovers the true cause of Skipper's condition and puts himself in grave danger to save her. The episode culminates in a thrilling and suspenseful finale that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
As with all episodes of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Skipper the Eye Child is full of satire, cheesy special effects, and over-the-top acting. But despite its intentionally low production value, the show manages to create a uniquely entertaining and engaging experience that is equal parts horror, comedy, and science-fiction.
Overall, this episode of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a must-watch for fans of the show and anyone who enjoys campy horror comedies. With its blend of humor, horror, and drama, it is sure to keep viewers entertained from start to finish.
