"'Gehenna" is the second episode of the first season of the American crime-thriller television series Millennium. It premiered on the Fox network on November 1, 1996. The episode was written by series creator Chris Carter, and directed by David Nutter. "Gehenna" featured guest appearances by Robin Gammell and Chris Ellis.
Offender profiler Frank Black (Lance Henriksen), a member of the private investigative organisation Millennium Group, is sent to San Francisco to track down a doomsday cult which murders its brainwashed members when they disobey it.
"Gehenna" sees both Carter and Nutter continue their roles from "Pilot", although it also necessitated changes in filming locations. The episode opens with a quote from W. H. Auden's poem "Blessed Event"—the first of the series' opening quotations—and makes references to the Hebrew Bible's Gehenna.
