The Twilight Zone: Nightmare as a Child (1960)
Season 1, Episode 29
9/10
Was it magic or not?

Warning: Spoilers
This is a lesser known episode where a woman finds a little girl around her apartment. It seems like the biggest twist is revealed halfway through the episode. The little girl says that people call her Marky. She then meets a guy who tells her that "Marky" was her childhood nickname. It's pretty obvious that the little girl is her. It turns out she has repressed memories.

She witnessed her mother being killed as a child and tried to forget it. I have no idea how that works in real life or if it even can. It still makes for an entertaining episode. It's one of the happiest endings I've seen for this show in awhile. I'm glad they didn't just end it at the halfway point. Again, maybe it was supernatural or it was just the woman going crazy. ***1/2.
