In the final two episodes, the experiment moves from theory to real life as the twins are forced to take full control of their food choices after moving out on their own. Cooking becomes a daily challenge, exposing how habits, convenience, and culture shape what we eat. At the same time, innovators pushing plant-based alternatives step into the spotlight, as growing concerns around animal products raise urgent questions about health and sustainability. As the study reaches its conclusion, the results are finally revealed. Detailed analyses of weight, gut health, and brain function confront the twins with clear, and sometimes surprising, consequences of their diets. What began as a personal test widens into a broader reflection on the future of food, as momentum builds around a changing food industry and the choices that may redefine how we eat.
France, 17th Century. For more than three decades, a mysterious prisoner was moved from fortress to fortress under extraordinary secrecy, his identity concealed behind a mask and known only to a handful of powerful men. Ordered into confinement by the minister of Louis XIV in 1669, he would remain locked away until his death in 1703 — alive, but erased. Why was he hidden so carefully? What secret was so dangerous that it demanded absolute silence? Drawing on archival research, expert analysis, and the turbulent politics of the Sun King’s reign, this gripping historical investigation revisits one of France’s greatest unsolved enigmas. From theories of royal bloodlines and forbidden romances to diplomatic conspiracies and mistaken identities, the film explores the many faces behind the mask and the fragile power structures of absolutist France. A tale of intrigue, paranoia, and state secrecy that continues to fascinate more than 350 years later.
Eugene Levy, a celebrated actor and self-confessed travel skeptic forces himself into the discomfort of jetting across the globe, visiting dazzling destinations he would normally avoid.

Then he plunges into the Costa Rican jungle, sleeping high among trees and confronting wild creatures. In Venice he lounges at a historic palazzo, bonds with a gondolier and reflects on his life and family. Finally, a helicopter drops him into the stark desert at Amangiri in Utah, where he absorbs breathtaking landscapes and engages with the Navajo Nation while battling his own nerves.
