Recap

George and Lydia Hadley live in their perfect automated house that provides everything for them. George comes in and asks where their children Wendy and Peter are. The children call on the videophone to inform their parents they'll be late for supper. Lydia worries that the nursery has changed and suggests that George have their psychiatrist, David McLean, take a look at it. She takes her husband to see the room, which contains a holographic representation of an African veldt. George is impressed at the fact they're getting their money's worth, and Lydia tells him to wait. She points out vultures in the distance, gathering around a carcass, and a scream in the distance. She wonders what the lions ate and left behind, and insists she can feel something. As George reaches out to touch one of the lions, a lioness runs toward them and Lydia hastily pulls them out and locks the door. She wonders if the lions can get out and they hear growling on the other side of the door...
