Scene Description
The Strangler decides to have a bit of extra fun while in corporeal form, and is masquerading as a Janitor at the local Hospital when he sees Amy. Later that night, she arrives home and is getting comfortable when the Strangler knocks, posing as a delivery driver dropping off medical supplies. He talks her into letting him in so he can leave the supplies at her place, and then strangles her from behind with one of her own stockings as she’s signing the release form.
The attack itself is rather brief. She gasps, and then the camera quickly pans down to her feet as she’s lifted off the floor. We see her kick for a second before the camera cuts to an exterior shot of the attack looking in through her front door window. The camera then pulls away as the Strangler pulls her down to the floor out of view from us, and then the scene fades to a commercial break.
Comments
My favorite kind of protagonists are professional women, and I have an especially soft spot for Nurses in classic white uniforms. Amy is a gorgeous actress who looks stunning in this episode. Seeing one of her character’s white stockings wrapped around her neck was an absolute delight, and her performance was icing on the cake.
