Enjoyed the story and thought the concept of the plot was entertaining. However, I was just not impressed with Spring Byington's performance in this episode. She played the character with all the sweetness and innocents that her acting is so well known. This plot needed a much stronger woman and not someone's naive granny that cannot see what is happening right in front of her. I like Ms Byington but in her entire run on this show, she seemed out-of-place.
