This episode isn't a favorite of mine but it's a good one that I like. Not much I can say, I really like the premise which is common mistaken identity premise in all suspense thriller but what I like is in its deceptive execution which comes with an ending that kind of pulls the rug from under you. Even after seeing the ending, watching this episode a second time the whole thing is simple it just doesn't seem that way.
Did like the performances of all four actors, in a way the whole episode is almost like a stage play as there is just a small cast and one setting, or even a bottle episode from the fact they're in the house the whole time.
Corey Feldman and Johnathan Banks both are good at playing professional creeps. As well as Cheslia Field whom is the lead b.... I mean assassin. However, for me it was Shelly Hack whom really carried out the episode. She of course is no stranger to the spy/suspense thriller genre as she was a former angel in season 4 of "Charlie's Angels". I really like her performance as the housewife architype which is a little exaggerated but there's reason for it trust me. I really like how she reacts to the situation, it's felt like that how any ordinary person would react to an overwhelming situation.
Her character is sympathetic as she is just an innocent person that didn't ask or look for trouble but unfortunate like most protagonists in suspense thriller she's cursed with trouble finding her. We know she's in deep crap as she's an ordinary house wife whom has to deal with trained killers, so the odds are not in her favor.
However, as we see she manages to turn the tables in her favor. I won't say how but the way it's done is both suppressing and funny, I thought wow for a housewife she really can hold her own against danger. I won't say the ending that something to see yourself, but I'll say this, one of the most important rules in cloak and dagger is, sometimes the best cover is in plain sight.
