  • "Take Me Back" by Nelson Adelard
  • The episode bears striking similarity to The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, the first major film production of Italian giallo director Dario Argento, which also was adapted from the book The Screaming Mimi. In all three stories, a woman who's a victim of a viciously violent attack identifies with the aggressor and rampages the city they move to with serial murders. Three murders aren't originally given much attention, until the murders continue and escalate, with taunting messages to the police all the while.
