Number Six turns out to appear to be so good he can even control his dreams!! After this, the village has to get far more creative. But without this episode, thiere would be a huge *plot-hole* to pick at for the series' viewer.<br><br>Bear in mind though that Number Six couldn't actually do this. He tricked them by switching the syringes when the time came for Dream C. So Number Six was no superman.... he just out-witted the guy in charge.
