The only reason it isn't a perfect 10 is that I didn't like that the main character's needless, almost for show bravery didn't backfire. Really her (alluded to at least) demise is in a manner that could've happened to her no matter what, maybe had she made a point of leaving her window open or been asked by her friend "Shouldn't you lock your window?" & waived it off, it would've been more ironic. Maybe that is the point in that she was intentionally tempting fate in so many other ways that ultimately it was a simple hurried mistake that did her in.
I disagree with the other review's suspicion of Officer Kennedy being the killer, I think he was meant to be a red herring so that Lavinia's trip through her short-cut would have it's maximum suspense. I believe the idea was that we were supposed to feel at ease for Lavinia after she had survived the ravine where a body had been found earlier.
All in all a great episode, very much your classic suspense story, very Hitchcockian. Joanna Cassidy is flawless as Lavinia.
