I agree with some of kapelusznik18's review, although not with his/her chronology. The psychopath killed the policeman assigned to protect radio host Rita McCall (she lashes out at all the things which she believes are ruining life in New York City) but not due to jealousy but because McCall had griped on air about having the police protection in the first place. The psycho emphathized with her feelings of being enclosed and captive.
I am not familiar with the sensuously voiced Lee Bryant, who plays provocative McCall, but she gives a textured and multidimensional performance, becoming more sympathetic. James Sutorious does fine as the psycho, neither gratuitous nor sleazy nor posturing nor sadistic -- it's just who and what he has become. The episode bears some similarities to Clint Eastwood's Play Misty for Me (1971).
