On this week’s CW series Cult, “Get With the Program,” Jeff tells Skye about Ama, a woman he met on a Cult fan site who claims that her husband is missing after becoming obsessed with the show. When they finally meet her, Jeff notices that she has a Cult notebook that looks eerily like Nate’s notebook. Ama introduces Jeff and Skye to a man who finds and deprograms cult members. EJ locates an IP address on a disk that could bring Jeff and Skye one step closer to finding Nate. Meanwhile, on the television show, Kelly finds Professor Patrick, the man who deprogrammed her, at Billy’s compound.
The series is based on investigative journalist Jeff Sefton, who has learned to laugh off his brother Nate’s relentless string of obsessions, especially his latest rant that a hit TV show intends to harm him. However, when his brother mysteriously disappears, Jeff takes Nate’s paranoia seriously, and in the process uncovers the dark underworld of the TV show “Cult” and its rabid fans. The only person who seems willing to help Jeff with his investigation is Skye, a young research assistant for “Cult,” who has also started to grow suspicious of the increasingly dark happenings surrounding the show. The fictitious show, centered on the cat-and-mouse game between charismatic cult leader Billy Grimm and LAPD detective Kelly Collins, has become an obsession for its viewers – and now some of its devotees seem to be taking their fixation to deadly extremes in the real world. As Jeff and Skye dig deeper into the fan world, they discover that the gruesome plot twists on television are much more than fantasy for some very unfortunate people. The hardcore fans of “Cult” would kill to see what happens next…
Cult, “Get With the Program” episode 3 airs Tuesday, March 15, at 9pm on The CW.
