Nuts, doctor! He's my husband!

Warning: Spoilers
Mary is drinking to that, the death of her husband, but she is in possession of his brain and desires to make her miserable late husband equally as miserable in his brainy afterlife. You can't have a heart attack, but he can have an aneurysm, and she's the gal to do it. She's Elaine Stritch, during her time in London, having gone there for the musical "Company" and not returning until over a decade later. This "Twilight Zone" like episode is very similar in certain ways to "Uncle Simon" where the trouble Constance Ford found herself continually manipulated and harassed by her late Uncle who came back as a robot. Now Stritch is in control of a piece of the afterlife, and she's bound and determined to get more out of life and rub it in her dead husband's face. It's hysterical and ironic, and I wanted to see more of the vengeance. Amusing but not grade, it's another opportunity for the very talented Elaine Stritch to shine.
