That's Not My Penguin

"That's Not My Penguin" is the sixth episode of the American television police procedural fantasy drama Awake.

It was written by series creator and executive producer Kyle Killen and staff writer Noelle Valdivia, and was directed by Scott Winant.

The show centers on Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs), a police detective living in two separate realities after a car accident.

In this episode, Michael enters a psychiatric hospital during a hostage situation by Gabriel Wyath (Billy Lush).

In the "green reality", Michael looks for a "ring", which is Dr. Wild's; Rex stole it for his girlfriend Emma (Daniela Bobadilla).

The episode opens with Gabriel Wyath (Billy Lush) in a psychiatric ward after blowing up a government building.

Later, in the "green reality" (where Rex is alive, and Hannah is dead from the crash) Michael forgets to sign a permission form for a field trip.

In the "red reality" (where Hannah is alive, and Rex is dead from the crash), Michael goes to work, and is called in for a hospital hostage situation.

Fowler stated that he had his "mind blown" and that the best part of the episode was "when the show, for a little while, actually made me think that there was something to Gabriel's Dr. Wild story".

[8] Claiming that he was "hooked" to the show, Folwer concluded his review by giving the episode a "9 out of 10" classifying it as "amazing".

[9] He thought that the morale of the episode was "wanting something to be real doesn't make it easier to pretend, and the harder Michael has to work to keep this up, the better the odds that he’s going to lose his grip".

[10] Nick McHatton of TV Fanatic gave the episode a "5 out of 5" as a perfect score and thought that the entry "really used Awake's concept to its advantage".
