Cynthia Nixon plays Alice, a woman suffering from a combination of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Agoraphobia. Apparently, years before, she witnessed her mother's murder...and as a result, she's shut herself inside an apartment and hasn't left since. It's a very sad case and this comes to Jessica Fletcher's attention because the young woman is one of Jessica's New York neighbors and the doorman has asked her to help. Oddly, the doctor helping Alice seems to be getting in the way of the investigation...but why??
This episode surprised me. I am a trained psychotherapist and normally I find lots of fault with the psychological mumbo-jumbo usually found on TV shows. However, here the disorder is treated fairly and the psychiatrist and her involvement isn't exactly hard to believe. All in all, an enjoyable and well crafted episode.
