Plot Overview

While driving in a secluded area on a rainy night, a troubled Julie is involved in a car accident in which she's injured. Fortunately, a doctor and his wife who happen to be driving by are there to give aid, and they take her to their nearby house to recuperate. They have to leave--the doctor is on call, and his pregnant wife is scheduled for an examination--but they leave Julie there alone, unaware that the wife's psychopathic ex-husband has escaped from a mental home and has broken into their house, intending to kill them when they return.

Notes

Julie is still sad about having to give up the baby she wanted to adopt in the previous season episode "Shockwave", and a couple of scenes in the episode are used here: a scene where she speaks to the priest who runs the church where the baby was abandoned, and the final scene where Julie breaks out into tears upon learning she cannot adopt the baby.
