I'm E. G. Marshall." This was often followed by one of his signature phrases, such as "The sound of suspense" or "The fear you can hear." At the, the door would close, preceded by Marshall iconic sign-off,Until time, pleasant… dreams?" Marshall hosted the program from January 4 until February 1982, when actress Tammy Grimes assumed hosting duties the series' final season, preserving the established format.

Jerry The Convincer

Carter Ellsworth, a seemingly law-abiding marketing professional, becomes entangled in a drug smuggling operation through the persuasive efforts of his friend Stu and a mysterious figure named Jerry. Initially hesitant, Carter is convinced to participate in a maritime drug pickup, driven by a desire for excitement and financial gain. During the operation, a police officer named Bernard J. Talon interrupts their smuggling attempt, resulting in a confrontation that ends with the officer being killed.

Consumed by guilt, Carter sends the officer's widow an anonymous gift of $25,000 from his smuggling earnings. However, his involvement does not end there, as Jerry continues to pressure him into further illegal activities. Carter struggles with his conscience, alternating between wanting to confess and feeling trapped by his complicity in the officer's death.

Lieutenant Paris, investigating the murder, gradually pieces together the evidence against Carter, including the unique circumstances of the crime and Carter's suspicious behavior. Eventually, the lieutenant confronts Carter, offering him a chance to cooperate and escape further criminal involvement. The episode explores themes of moral compromise, the seductive nature of criminal excitement, and how ordinary people can be drawn into illegal activities through manipulation and gradual moral erosion.
