This is a great episode, one you should listen to twice! Once to take in the story on face value, as a romantic escapade, and the second time as a psychological descent to madness. When you listen realize how original this was in 1976! So many movies and TV episodes have since borrowed and stolen from the themes here, but realize that in 1976 this was very original writing by Ian Martin.

What Nugent doesn’t realize is that Valdemar’s real purpose is the ultimate destruction of his wife.
