To be honest a number of my favorite episodes are the underrated or overlooked ones. Sometimes the badly review ones . I think this one is overlooked and underrated.
The story is simple enough . Two people enter Helen Foley's life at the same time or rather they re enter enter it . One is a particularly sinister man who is ready to do away with her before she can remember and tell what he did. So awful was the event she has blocked it out. He isn't taking chances. The other one that enters her life is ultimately her younger self and she ultimately saves herself. Helen is also saved from a final twist that could have actually been the start of a long term nightmare for her. The final scene though with a different little girl singing a familiar song is the a nice little moment that isn't the dreadful twist you fear it is . It's just a nice , happy little girl. Helen is relieved and so are we.
