The Cursed Teacup
A mysterious woman offers a cup of tea to a homeless and an ivy suffocates and kills him. The social worker Birdie, who is romantically interested in Jack, tells Jack, Micki and Ryan that homeless people are disappearing in the park, including her friend Sarah Berrell, and they decide to investigate. The homeless girl Kristen tells them that she saw a woman giving a cup of tea to the deceased man, and they realize that this cursed teacup was sold by Lewis. Meanwhile, the singer Lady Die is offering a concert to the homeless before her international tour. Soon, Jack, Micki and Ryan conclude that Lady Die is the old Sarah Berrell, and she is buying time and becoming youth using the cursed teacup.
"A Cup of Time" is a good episode of "Friday the 13th: The Series", with the story of a woman seduced to become young again. Maybe in the present annoying politically correct days, Kristen could not be a homeless girl living alone in a park and thief. But fortunately, this show is from the 80's, when there was no restriction of reality. This type of theme that recalls "The Picture of Dorian Gray", is always intriguing and entertaining. My vote is seven.
