An interesting tale with a twist at the end I found hard to predict until very late in the episode. Mrs. Mallory suffers from a paralysis of the hands onset shortly after her husband’s death. Doctors are unable to find a cure and tell her it may be psychosomatic, a diagnosis she finds distasteful and insulting.
She meets another woman suffering from similar conditions who is seeking help from a Dr. Grif who uses psychedelic drugs and the powers of suggestion and, when the woman is seen later cured of her affliction, she seeks the out the doctor and his miracle cure.
The word GRIFTER means, “money made dishonestly. A confidence game.â€ Could it be that Dr. Grif’s name is no coincidence?
A surprise ending gives this episode a strong conclusion.
