This episode was probably inspired by Shakespeare's "Macbeth". The story line is similar, though modernized and slightly changed.
There is a prediction in the beginning. Where a man called Paddock tells Morgan McCormack about his bright future but warns him about a very determined woman he should beware of. The ambitious McCormack is then instigated to kill his boss in order to get ahead in the firm.
Some of the names match the original story. As for example the victim's name Duncan. There is one character called Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway was also the name of Shakespeare's wife.
I think it is a good spin off, because it plays on analogies but also adds new complications and if you think that you can figure out "who dun it" just by comparing the plots... you'll be surprised.
