Warning: Spoilers
The third episode of "One Step Beyond" has a group of friends at a cocktail party were it is revealed Ellen Larrabee (Jocelyn Brando) can predict future events throw a hypnotic state, having successfully predicted events in the past. Arthur Douglas (Lin McCarthy) is very skeptical of this practice, but, has his future told by Ellen anyways. Ellen depicts a horrid event were Arthur meets terror at the hands of a beautiful knife wielding woman (Paula Raymond) upon his train back to Chicago. As suspected the events Ellen predicts start to unfold...

I was really intrigued by this story from start to finish, it builds good suspense up until the final, I was afraid however that what was predicted was indeed going to happen making for a rather predictable conclusion, but, as I hoped there was a nice surprise ending which ends for the better for everyone involved, and that I didn't see coming. The cast as usual does a good job here. And as usual John Newland does great in front and behind the camera, as he has directed every episode so far.
