Description
In this episode, a man with a dissolving marriage and an unhealthy
attachment to his aging dog comes into possession of a cursed
dogleash which allows its owner to physically exchange the traits
of two other subjects when a murder is performed using the leash.
Under the guise of trying to reconcile with his soon-to-be-ex, the
man begins to kill and slowly, trait by trait, change his wife into
the image of his elderly dying dog, while also transforming the dog
into her. The poor woman doesn't know what's happening, of course,
as she seems to be the feminine counterpart of Larry Talbott during
a full moon (that's a WOLF MAN reference, by the way). Finally,
before the inept heroes can track him down, the man uses the leash
to strangle his almost fully metamorphosed wife, which completes
her transformation while also changing the dog entirely into a
human woman. In the end, we find the killer behind bars for his
string of murders and his "wife" visiting him in a most loyal
fashion and panting, canine-like, as he pets her for being "such a
good girl". This is a truly misogynistic episode, and kind of
funny, to boot.
