Pat was feeling monadic so Ben recruits a guest lecturer for this watershed episode: Professor George Anthony of Yale University-San Antonio Campus. Together they teach Pat about German heavy hitter Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and his Rationalist philosophy. They explore Leibniz's bizarre theory of monads (lol): invisible, irreducible corpuscles that make up all substance in the Universe. George also uses the plot of 1994 action thriller 'Time Cop' to illustrate Leibniz's Fundamental Principles of Thought, the underpinnings of all logical reasoning. Spoiler Alert!
