Fantasy Island (r3s01e02), pt. 2
The Heartbreak Hotel
by Jane Espenson, directed by Adam Kane
As with the first episode of the 2021 Fantasy Island revival,
the second has no actual time travel, but the side-plot (“The Heartbreak Hotel”) does
have a time-related phenomenon when Elena and Mr. Jones try to connect with a grieving
widower who wakens only once every five years to see whether life is worth living.
— Michael Main
Okay, that’s not the deal my great uncle made. Now, you’re allowed to sleep on
Fantasy Island as long as you wish, but every five years, you have to spend at least 48
hours awake.
