The Search for Harrison Prime

The Search for Harrison Prime is the second episode of the second season of House of Harrison, and the seventh episode overall.

## Synopsis

Supreme Harrison, overcome with guilt and despair, is determined to find Harrison Prime - a Harrison who is happy with his life regardless of crystal gems or Gabrielles. He travels across the existing Worldlines, meeting various people who knew the resident Harrison (none of which know of his whereabouts). Supreme Harrison then discovers that by killing the other members of the House of Harrison - all variants of himself - he opened up the ability for Harrisons to commit suicide, which appears to be the fate of many of them.

## Plot

Supreme Harrison, having defeated Evil Harrison, now has ultimate cosmic power due to wielding every crystal gem within the multiverse. This power is trivial to him, as he now sits alone in the ruins of the House of Harrison's pyramid, which continues to collapse. The remnants of fallen Worldlines are routinely sucked into the Noizemaze, making Supreme Harrison view the place as unbearable. He contemplates his newfound power, as well as his immortality living outside of time and space. During his torment, a man wearing a Victorian-style shirt and vest appears before Harrison, seemingly out of thin air. He asks Harrison if he is happy, and Harrison states that he asks an "interesting question." The man asks the question again, and Harrison ignores it, instead asking him who he is. The man introduces himself as Jon, and Harrison dismisses him as a hallucination. Jon claims to be Harrison's best friend, and not a hallucination. Jon asks Harrison why he has forgotten him, and Harrison cannot answer.

Jon asks Harrison if he believes there are any variants of him that could answer the question, and Harrison supposes there is not. Jon tells him that there is at least one, and urges him to find the variant. Harrison stands from his throne, and the scenery around him morphs into that of a school parking lot. Harrison is now in a suit, whereas Jon's outfit remains the same. Harrison looks to the school doors and sees a teacher saying goodbye to her students. The teacher walks out to the parking lot, where Harrison greets her by her name: Molly. Molly does not appear to know Harrison, and he tells her that they went to college together. She appears distressed, saying she never met anyone named Harrison. Harrison tells her that they played jazz together, and that she might know him by "a more simpler name." Molly reaffirms her stance, and begins walking quickly to her car. Harrison follows her as Jon insists he stops, but he continues, now frantically asking her if she has heard of B.R. Harrison, saying that he may be a lawyer, an author, a professor, or national ruler. She tells Harrison to stand back, and he obsessively asks her why she does not remember him. Molly draws a mace gun from her car, shooting Harrison in the face with tear gas. Harrison is taken aback but not harmed, as Molly drives off with haste.

Jon asks what Harrison was doing, and tells him that he "scared the poor girl." Harrison tells Jon that he loved Molly in other Worldlines, and Jon is surprised. Jon wonders why she did not know the resident Harrison, and Harrison decides to find out why. The scenery then morphs to a cemetery, where the two stand atop the resident Harrison's tombstone. The scenery flashes to that of dozens of different Worldlines, as the duo continue to stand atop each Harrison's tomb.

The scenery once again morphs back into the House of Harrison. Jon asks what has happened to all the deceased Harrisons, and Harrison explains that they all committed suicide. Harrison further explains to Jon that no Harrison was capable of serious self harm, and that killing the other variants of the House of Harrison must have awaken something in every variant, giving them the gumption to be able to end their own lives.

Jon asks if Harrison ever knew resident Molly of his Worldline, and Harrison says he did not. He then explains that in the countless Worldlines he has overseen, there were many Harrisons who met Mollys in college and fell in love with them. Jon asks about their respective Gabrielles, and Harrison says that the variant Harrisons loved Molly regardless. He then breaks down, falling to his knees and beginning to cry, and tells Jon that he wish he met his own Molly. Jon comforts him, and says that he has already answered the question. Harrison, tears running down his face, tells Jon that he is not happy at all, and that he wishes he could die like the rest of his variants instead of suffering through immortality. Jon tells him that, if he truly cannot seek out his own happiness, than he can use his power to save the remaining Harrisons. Harrison tells Jon that he has given up on the multiverse, and Jon tells him that he has given up on himself.

Harrison regains himself and stands up. He walks over to the multiversal stream, observing different Worldlines. He turns to Jon, and explains that the is a singular Harrison - Harrison Prime - that is destined to be happy no matter his life's follies. Harrison explains that Harrison Prime is "the original Harrison," and that one of them has to be the first. Jon seems doubtful of this claim, but urges Harrison to search for Harrison Prime if he truly does exist.
