I think that's what caught my attention first. I love the "Psycho" movies and couldn't help getting a kick anytime I see the Psycho house in another series.

So unto the episode. I must admit I tend to favor the episodes centering around Flint. First saw Robert Horton in his guest appearances in "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and it was always a delight seeing him, especially if an episode had him having a 'sugar momma'. I also admit I tend to enjoy these older series because I appreciate seeing the characters that act like men. And no, I'm not being derogatory when I say that. A man like Flint is a gentleman and I like that. All you have to do is check the scene in this episode when he's defending Eleanor against some snippy townspeople at the beginning of the episode. Flint is a gentleman.

So you have Flint riding into this area and he's asking about an old girlfriend that doesn't really sound all that popular in this area. Flint ends up going to this lady's house and he's very concerned about her. Doesn't understand why she's isolated herself and shut herself up in the house. I can understand it tbh. This episode is pretty clever with the twists imo. You do have sympathy towards this character and you feel sorry for her that she's been supposedly married to this brute and can understand her happiness/feeling like she's come back to life after this husband died. Turns out the husband isn't dead and he shows back up later on. A lot of things come spilling out in this episode. Turns out Felicia's character isn't somebody to sympathize with after all. Oh, I suppose one can still sympathize that she's got mental health problems but she's also somebody that sucks people dry. That husband I mentioned earlier looked pretty drained emotionally and I have no doubts she would've drained all the life force out of Flint if they'd ridden off into the sunset together.

The husband ends up getting killed. Flint tells Eleanor to go back to her house. Eleanor ends up fleeing back to the house.

Definitely want to single out Felicia Farr. Seen her on an episode of "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" and she put in a fine performance on that series as well.
