"Nightswimming" is the eighth episode of the American television police procedural fantasy drama Awake, which originally aired on NBC in 2012. Written by Leonard Chang and co-executive producer Davey Holmes, and directed by executive producer Jeffrey Reiner, the episode received mixed reviews. Awake stars Jason Isaacs (pictured) as Michael Britten, a detective living in two separate realities after a car crash. In one reality, his wife Hannah (Laura Allen) survived the crash; in the other, his son Rex (Dylan Minnette) survived. In this episode, Michael helps accountant Marcus Ananyev (Elijah Alexander) and his wife Alina (Ayelet Zurer) start a new life in the Witness Protection Program after a gang member attempts to kill Marcus in Rex's reality. In the other reality, Michael and Hannah prepare for a new life in Oregon, and go swimming at a college pool to celebrate their love. During filming, a woman who was near the swimming pool confronted Isaacs about his nudity. The episode featured Otis Redding's "Pain in My Heart". "Nightswimming" drew 2.8 million viewers on its debut.

___________________________ Wikiquote quote of the day:
I don’t think the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament has much chance of actually affecting the government. It’s one of the first things you have to face up to. But we do it to keep our self-respect to show to ourselves, each one to himself or herself, that we care. And to let other people, all the lazy, sulky, hopeless ones like you, know that someone cares. We’re trying to shame you into thinking about it, about acting. --John Fowles https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/John_Fowles
