The 3-channel video installation Narrative With an Unexpected Outcome (2011) shows a dialogue from a group therapy conversation as animated text. Each screen represents an individual person participating in the conversation. During the 1970s and 1980s, the Australian therapist Michael White and his colleague David Epson (New Zealand) developed a form of therapy that uses storytelling as an important element of the therapeutic conversation. In the session used in this work, a young teenage boy is the main character.

Narrative With an Unexpected Outcome is one work in a series of works where Krunglevicius is interested in uncovering coded systems used in society to control individuals and situations. In these works, Krunglevicius used documentary material and transcripts from group therapy sessions, police interviews and psychiatric interview manuals. When Narrative With an Unexpected Outcome was exhibited at the Oslo art association in 2011, he presented interrogation and therapy methods side by side, with the aim of either leading to a confession in police interrogation, or to discover hidden or forgotten memories that explain a specific behavior pattern in a patient.
