As it became difficult for Jason 1 and Amanda to find a similar and stable universe like theirs, opening each door in the multiversal corridor broke their spirits. Nevertheless, their newfound bond and trust in each other helped them find the key to the solution that they carried all along. Read on to learn more about Dark Matter episode 5.

A brief recap of Dark Matter episode 4
Episode 4 kicked off with Jason and Amanda checking each and every reality on the Box’s infinite corridor, but, unfortunately, none of them were stable or habitable for life.
Some of them were way worse, like a bad dream. In one such reality, Amanda saw a few minutes past version of herself getting killed by dawn, which was truly devastating for her.
The duo ended on a version of Earth that was completely frozen. Jason 1 saved Amanda from becoming a victim of hypothermia in that climate. The two eventually figured out that the observant effect was the key, as each time they opened the door, it was what was going on in their minds at that moment that influenced the reality on the other end of the door.
Although Jason 1 and Amanda almost lost the Box, given the climate that buried the object under a thick snow bed, they eventually found it in time. Elsewhere, Jason 2 quit his job and met Leighton 1, who, unlike the Leighton in his universe, was an apathetic individual with no interest in anything at all. After Jason 2 made him experience the Box, they both shook hands to get in business.
Despite missing out on Max and Charlie’s birthday, Danielle was shocked to see an unbothered reaction from her husband. Jason 2 apologized for being late but surprised his son with his new car. After revealing to Danielle that he quit his job, he eventually told her that he had found an investor for his project and assured her that there would be no financial trouble for their family.
Leighton 1, who entered the box, following Jason 1 and Amanda, got stuck in the infinite corridor, where every door he opened led him to encounter a situation that left him near death. However, despite the heavy injuries he sustained, he kept opening each door.
