This is the episode about the young woman on her honeymoon, who thinks her husband is going to murder her. A woman named Iris makes her think so by telling her a long, complicated story and the girl believes her. As it turns out, her husband is with the police and trying to catch Iris, who is the real murderess. The husband turns out to be ok in the end. My question: why didn't his wife trust her own husband over the word of some stranger?

It seems that she would have been indignant when a stranger tells her that her husband is a murderer and you'd think she would want proof. I know I would want proof of such a thing. Also, the woman who was the real killer acted so creepy anyway, you'd think that the girl would have realized that something was wrong and she wouldn't have trusted her. I think it would have been a better ending if the husband AND his wife had both trapped the woman in the end and it would have turned out that the wife knew all along and had been in on the plot with her husband. It would have been a trick ending and it would have made more sense. I would have liked the story better that way. It could have been written so that the young wife acted like she believed her husband was a killer, but in the end we find out that she was working with him all along. So in that sense there could have been a story. Actually, if I were the husband, I would be really hurt that my wife thought I was a murderer and trusted the woman's story.

This story seemed alot like "Deadly Honeymoon" Episode 19 so I assumed the ending before there was any evidence for it. I suppose there's only so many ways to twist 1399 stories! lol

Amy, you have a point on working together. And why would the husband think its unsafe to confront the psycho in an open public place in the afternoon but prefer to do so in their home at sunset?

Jane Stoddard finds out her new husband is a serial killer a la the Boston Strangler. Now she is forced to criss cross the country serving as bait for the police.

A woman marries a psychiatrist after only a 2 week whirlwind romance. Their honeymoon plans are changed to follow his work. At one stop, she is approached by a female detective claiming that her husband is actually a serial murderer and has a history of killing his wives for the insurance money, and other brides just for fun. She enlists the new bride’s support in gathering evidence (of which there appears already to be plenty) to capture and imprison him. Not too well written, lots of holes, poor character development.
