Friends, this one really bothered me.

At the show\'s beginning, a successful New York advertising executive has called his wife in suburban Connecticut to tell her that he\'s killed his mistress, who he thinks was a witch, and that there\'s no alternative for him now other than to kill himself...he says he\'s written her a letter explaining what happened. She hears a gun shot and breaks down into tears.

Later detectives find both his body and the letter, and begin reading the latter. The dead man (whose first name was \"Schuyler\" and was referred to as \"Sky\") seemed to have it all...a promising job, a wife, a 16 year old son and a 12 year old daughter. One day Sky fell asleep on the commuter train to NYC (a la an old Twilight Zone episode \"A stop in Willoughby\") and a beautiful woman sat down and talked with him. He became obsessed with finding her, saying that her looks which suggest \"endless sex\" would be perfect for an ad campaign for a huge new client he\'s been assigned to. She disappears whenever he turns his back, or when he wakes up from a nap on the train...she tells him later that she doesn\'t like crowds, and that her name is \"Dierdre\".

Sky becomes obsessed with finding Dierdre...usually doing so when he falls asleep on the train or has been knocking down Manhattans in a bar, and so forth. Meanwhile, his wife, daughter and son are all feeling neglected by their dad\'s longer and longer hours at work, the latter child so much that he takes one of the family cars and crashes it into a tree. He\'s fortunate...all he receives is a concussion. All that time trying to find the woman is hurting Sky\'s career as well. Sky\'s wife calls him and worrie that there is a \"hex\" on their family. It gets to the point, though, where he hangs up on her when she calls...Sky\'s only interested in finding ways to be with this woman and taking her picture.

In the end, he has an apartment in which he meets this woman. He takes pictures of her, none of which are in focus and none of which contain her. Then he takes an instant picture...for a moment, he sees a horrible witch, then nothing. She looks at him and says \"The wages of sin...\"

That\'s when we pretty much arrive at the events which started this episode, and the detectives are left to uncover any additional info. It can pretty much be summed up in the Apostle Paul\'s admonition that what feels natural to us is often not what is best for us. (or our families...)
