I think this episode is more about what you would do if a mindless creature murdered your child / mother / someone close you. (In this case, how Dr. Marr feels about losing her son.)
If a bear ate your mother in front of you, would you just say "well it was hungry and that was just instinct, it didn't mean anything by it" or would you not try to kill the bear out of anger and heartbreak?
That's what this episode is about. The harshness of nature.
It's a pretty good, but sad episode. At first Dr. Marr comes across as being crazy, but then you quickly realize she was driven crazy by the death of her son. Who wouldn't be? So as the episode progresses, we being to relate more to her. I think it's a good episode because of the way it makes us think about someone's extreme emotional response to a horrible situation. It's part of being human.
