This episode was just about better than anything the first season had to offer. It was difficult to figure out what kind of twist ending might be coming, and when it did arrive, it deviated somewhat from traditional Twilight Zone territory to venture into the realm of horror. It wasn't readily apparent throughout that the disembodied voice of Annie Mitchell (Gillian Jacobs) was luring Phil Hayes (Jimmi Simpson) into a trap from which he would not recover, either physically or emotionally. Personally, I found him to be somewhat of a creepy guy, even before he started hearing Annie's voice. The most painful part of watching this episode was seeing Annie's daughter witness her father's brutal beating at the hands of Phil. If she only knew that her mom had planned it all along.
