This lady's husband is pretty jerky. He beats her, yells at her, beats up her best piano student, and then brings home a scary dog to get her over her fear of dogs. After a very amusing hypnosis session where she regresses into childhood, she remembers a dog from her past that helped her do something unthinkable.

The Lost Dog was a pretty interesting story about a woman whose physically abusive husband, a real salami head (sounds and acts like Archie Bunker, only 100 percent nasty, with no warm side whatsoever), insists on getting a dog even though she's phobically terrified of them. There's also a side story of a 20-year-old piano student of the woman who has a crush on her and gets on the husband's bad side. Anyway, she goes to a hypnotist to find out what caused her inane fear of dogs, and it gets really interesting after that. Probably my second favorite of the first four episodes, behind the Moresbys.

I knew Patinkin had done an episode and that he was on "Criminal Minds", but not much else. I was most surprised to realize it was him in "The Princess Bride". I love that movie and also loved that line. His line and "as you wish" are probably the most memorable from the movie. I really enjoy finding information about actors/actresses from CBSRMT. Does anyone know if Evelyn Juster was ever on TV in character roles? Her picture looks familiar to me, but there is no information that I can find that she was ever on television. I keep thinking that she looks like she may have been a guest on "Bewitched" at least once.
