Our episode starts with Bob Ames picking up our titular hitchhiker character. Ames is a sleazy music producer, who goes on about his constant affairs with several other women despite his wife's knowledge of it happening and the fact he also has kids as well. Ames is driving on a dark and stormy night and it is hinted that a insane woman has escaped the local mental hospital. He ventures out to a cabin in the woods that he owns only to find a mysterious woman named Cathy there naked covered in a sheet, trying to escape the storm. She is an aspiring actress and as his usual perv self he asks her to stay for the night till the storm passes. Strangely Cathy begins to seduce him and they both have sex. However, he then hears the radio broadcast again about the escaped woman who has a tendency to cut her lovers throats with kitchen knives, and her description fits Cathy's perfectly, but, is she really the killer?. This is a really fun episode that's what you'd come to expect from a series like this. You have some great nudity, a little bit of softcore sex (both courtesy of HBO) and a fun game of cat and mouse between the two protagonists. The only thing is that you can probably see how the ending is going if you've ever watched shows like this before, but, it doesn't ruin the fun of it. August Schellenberg plays the sleazy womanizer perfectly and the little known Pamela Bowman who seems to have had just a short 8 year or so stretch in mostly guest television roles, does decent and defiantly has no problem in showing skin. Overall, like said a fun cat and mouse style episode with a usually fun twist, probably among the shows best episodes.
