Overview

Beth comes on the fantasy game show “Morality Made Easy” in an attempt to shed her anxieties one by one. Dominated by a sleazy host and his assistant, the game posits that one can find inner peace with the decisions one makes – if one chooses not to think about the consequences or ponder the other possible decisions. When it becomes clear that Beth is the type to seriously consider her actions and every possible alternative, the game hammers her down and exposes her anxieties even more. Beth attempts to take control of what she can and walks off the show, cursing it as she leaves.
