Just like the previous two episodes of the series, this one proves quite worth its time. It entertains the hypothetical life of a man who lives in a time when everyone has a 'grain', a modern age beneath-the-ear implant enabling the user to record everything (s)he hears or sees.
The episode shows a man who intelligently figures out that his wife cheated on him with the baby and that the baby is not his'. Without the grain, he would have lived forever with the assumption that the baby is his own. The fight entails their divorce. Till the divorce, the only thing he can focus is his wife's non - loyalty. After the divorce, he only sees his former wife's loving and caring memories at every moment. He can't survive in his own house. Eventually, he gets rid of the grain.
The question to ponder upon is whether the grain is constructive for our life or the opposite.
The man ruins his life by dragging himself with the negative memories from the grain after the divorce. It would have been wiser to focus on the happier memories. But is it even possible for the humankind to do so!
One can argue that never let the bad memories drag you down. Cut out the grain and throw it away if you have to. Don't live in the past. But this is only keeping in mind the last 5 minutes of the episode.
