No, you haven’t been inculcated with false memories by some “self-help” organization: There really was a cult episode of Boy Meets World.

That installment, the punnily-titled “Cult Fiction,” came in the ABC sitcom’s fourth season, and has a never-before-seen John Adams High student named Sherri lure Rider Strong’s Shawn Hunter into a creepy lair called The Centre. And he falls under the spell of this cult in one hour flat.
