does not know his value to the community. Irene claims he is one of them now, and he begins his psychic journey. Production "Quarantine" originated as an unproduced film script called "Terminal" which was co-written by The Twilight Zone executive producer Philip DeGuere. Some time after it became apparent that the script was not going to be picked up, DeGuere obtained permission from his writing collaborator to use the story for The Twilight Zone. The teleplay for the segment was written by Alan Brennert, who made several significant changes to the story, such as adding in the idea of surgery without instruments and the plot point of Matthew discovering the psychic deception before the ship is destroyed.
