Disappointed that the ending was pretty obvious, otherwise an average episode, acting is good.
A busy-body old maid won't get off the party phone line when a neighbor needs to call the doctor for his dying wife. This is partially due to her prior experience with the neighbor when he lied to her about his need of the phone.
After his wife dies he returns to his old life-in-crime ways and escapes from prison with the intent to kill the old maid as revenge for his wife's death and his poor choices. She is warned by a police officer.
When she finally thinks that the neighbor is in her house to kill her, she can't get her neighbors off the party line to call the police. They simply repeat to her, her catch phrase which is, "patience is a virtue". We then see a looming shadow come for her and the show ends.
There is a little more information, as there often was, when Hitchcock does his ending monologue, but I will leave that for the viewer.
I was a little excited to see the ending of this one because I couldn't figure out an ending twist, which I often can figure out. When there wasn't an ending twist I was disappointed. This might be just me, but the twists at the end of these type of shows are the most satisfying thing about the shows to me, especially when I haven't come up with the twist beforehand, or came up with the wrong twist.
