Jane L. (Kirstie Alley) is a sleazy tabloid reporter who will do anything to get a shocking story, after her and her assistant Hodie (Andy Summers of The Police in a rare acting role) story about an actor's incest relationship with his sister causes his wife to murder herself and ruin their story they decide to take a lead on Hodie's pictures showing that a legendary rock star Billy Baltimore who was assumed dead after being shot on stage in 1967 is still alive. The two then venture out to the property and break into the house where Baltimore is presumably still living with horrific consequences. Without a doubt one of my favorite episodes of this series as it just gets better as it progresses leading up to a wonderfully weird and morbid twist ending. The only thing keeping me from giving this a full 10 stars is the rather mediocre acting of Alley and Summers, the first of which comes of so annoying and sleazy that when she finally gets her comeuppance it couldn't make you happier. Brad Dourif is also on hand here too and he has some of the best dialogue of the episode including the line quoted up above.
