Trivia
After Karen insinuates to Joyce that she slept her way to a promotion, Karen calls her "a vicious little sluck," an obscure slang term considered to be a portmanteau of two words that absolutely could NOT be used on television at the time. Joanne Linville's perfect enunciation is confirmed by the captioned version of the episode.

Killer Thoughts

Joanne Linville stars as a successful businesswoman named Karen Wadsworth who unfortunately has a violent temper that she comes to believe is responsible for a series of deaths with people who angered her for various reasons, but not in a physical way, but purely with the power of her mind, as the old adage "If Looks Could Kill" takes on a new meaning. She seeks the help of a psychiatrist, but he cannot believe in anything psychic, and his efforts to convince her otherwise fail utterly in a most unexpected way... John Newland appears at the end to hear the case in person. Pretty good tale is put across convincingly.
