**Lewis Thomas** is a major character in the 2020 Facebook Watch series *Stereoscope*. A version of Lewis from another dimension who came into contact with a strange stereoscope, Lewis became obsessed with understanding how the item worked. He was responsible for causing the veil in his world to collapse, and after coming to ours, sent our version of Lewis to another dimension and posed as him so he could continue his research.

He is portrayed by Brian White.

## Physical Appearance

Lewis is a middle-aged African-American man with short curly black hair and dark eyes. He wore glasses and had a beard, but he shaved his beard and got rid of his glasses to pass as our world's version of Lewis.

## Characteristics

In contrast to the original Lewis's jovial personality,

## Background

Lewis hails from the fifth dimension viewable on the stereoscope. At some point before the events of the series, Lewis came into contact with a mysterious stereoscope that allowed those who looked through it to view other dimensions. He became obsessed with figuring out how it worked, and detailed his findings and hypotheses in a journal. In his research, Lewis came into contact with an entity he named "The Reek", and realized that it appeared to him every time he used the scope.

Lewis and his world's version of Rae were periodically visited by the boy who lived next door, Drew, so he could get away from his abusive father. Lewis made offers for Drew to live with them permanently, but Drew refused, saying that he needed to stay there and protect his mother. One day, he told Lewis that he wanted his father to go away completely, but he knew that would never be able to happen. Lewis told him he could have something to help with that, implying heavily that he and Drew would use the stereoscope to enact justice on Drew's father.

Eventually, Lewis's continued use of the scope caused the veil in his world to collapse, allowing The Reek to enter their world and kill everyone. Drew and Lewis used the scope to travel to the first dimension, our world, and were spared. There, they met our world's version of Lewis, who was willing to help them. As Lewis cleaned his wounds in the bathroom, he used a razor he found to shave his beard and found a way to dispose of his glasses. As Drew was talking to World 1's Lewis, Lewis came into the room, now looking nearly identical to him, and used the scope to send his counterpart to another dimension. Drew protested this, but was told by Lewis that it was for the best.

## Stereoscope

### The Red Wall

The episode opens with Lewis fleeing from The Reek. He is able to send it back to where it came from, but he succumbs to his injuries and passes away.

### Crossing the Veil

Lewis makes another flashback appearance, showing how he was leading The Reek away from the house to protect Drew.

## Powers and Abilities

Lewis was extremely smart, being a talented physics teacher and scientist. He had extensive knowledge of physics, and after much research, had extensive knowledge of the stereoscope.

## Relationships

### Drew

Drew had a good relationship with World 5's Lewis. He was presumably a student of his and was his next-door neighbor. Drew trusted Lewis and Rae enough to go to them when he was being beaten, and they were sympathetic to his situation and even offered to let him move in with them full-time. Lewis was extremely sympathetic towards Drew, as he himself did not have a good father figure, and offered to help Drew enact vengeance on his father by using the scope.

In Episode 4, it is implied that they were too successful, as something killed not just Drew's father but *everyone* in their dimension, and they fled to our world. In Episode 6, the event is revealed to be his world's Lewis -- as he became obsessed with the scope and continued to use it, the veil protecting their world fell and allowed The Reek to come inside and kill everyone. Lewis and Drew were able to escape by using the scope to come to our dimension. It was at this time that Drew began to become distrustful of his world's Lewis, and only began to grow more wary of him when he watched him use the scope to send World 1's Lewis to another world.

However, World 5's Lewis seemed to care for Drew despite his obsession. When The Reek came and attacked them in World 1, Lewis divertedThe Reek's attention away from Drew long enough to lure it outside when they were attacked, and died protecting him.

## Alternate Selves

### Lewis (1st Dimension)

Lewis spent time with the scope looking into our world and watching the original version of himself. Upon meeting his Slide 1 counterpart, Lewis used the scope to send him to another dimension so he could assume his identity in ours.

### Lewis (2nd Dimension)

The Lewis in the second dimension is still alive and has, presumably, not yet made contact with The Reek.

## Trivia

* It is unknown if he is allergic to silver like his counterpart.
