Two scientists who are working in human genetics or something, are being unreasonably pressured by their obnoxious young hotshot boss to publish their findings before they're safely ready, as well as the boss being downright sexually abusive towards the female scientist, and so they decide that they're going to get even with him by playing a little grim practical joke that leads him to believe that he'll soon be dying a horrible death, but then thanks to a misunderstanding he snaps and the prank backfires terribly for everyone.... while easily grasped, the story of this episode feels noticeably weak and unfocused, it doesn't have any sense of structure to the plot, and what little story there is takes a real backseat to the overdone performances, and that's what I just about like about this one and not much else, is the hammy acting! The one moment that did stick in my mind about this tale didn't have anything to do with the very meagre horror, but was when young Dillan McDermott shows off his dazzling sex appeal in a scene that I found kind of hilarious because of how over the top it is with George rather forcefully uh, 'seducing' the fiery Sonia Braga character, no clearly means yes as far as this guy's concerned! I loved the bizarre editing of some of the scenes, like the unnecessary hallucination at the bar, and how the Cleavon Little character "No!" repeats again and again in a goofy distorted voice as George is injected with the phoney concoction of doom. I find that the fairly brutal death scene of Cleavon Little's character to be rather extra unsettling, given how it was the poor man's last ever role. So this certainly is a bit of a sloppy episode all over, but it does have some mildly intriguing elements. Far from one of the show's best, but still just about fun as yet another distinctive chapter in the strange little macabre land of the Crypt, and it is worth seeing just for the weird laughs...it won't kill ya!
