The two-part finale to the original season of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, entitled "There's No Place Like Springfield", is about a plot devised by Cobra to extract information from joe member Shipwreck's mind by kidnapping him and tricking him into thinking he has memory loss.
They surround him with fake loved ones and make him think it's the future, manipulating him and by the end forcing him to watch the family he never had a chance to have literally burn in front of him, revealing they were mere synthoids (synthetic humans, though implied to posses sentience).
Just some light family entertainment!
