A bit hard to stomach, actually

Siamese twins Eddie and Frank are connected by their waists and they always have to argue on anything. One night at a bar Frank meets and falls in love with Marie and Eddie thinks that they should be separated and so they go to a doctor. Eddie signs but Frank initially refuses because he thinks that the surgical operation could probably kill them. However Eddie has a plan after a while: he murders Marie while Frank is hugging her; Frank then proceeds to drink and take ALL his sleeping pills since they have effect also on his brother and before falling asleep finally signs the paper about their surgical separation. In the hospital we see Eddie that is taken away by the police and also that they are finally separated.

I really can't believe that the lowest rated reviews have scores of 7 as when I saw this episode I felt very uncomfortable (and there was a scene where they showed the part for which they are connected that grossed me out). However, the ending made me feel better finally as I thought that they were normal. Not a bad episode if you aren't grossed out by the main theme.
