Keeps ya Guessing Until the Last Moment... (NO SPOILERS)

Would have been a "10" except for the lack of FESTUS!! Really good morality play. Which way will Matt fall? Is the inexplicably wide-faced wife going to stick around a few more minutes after waiting eight years?! Who knows!! But Ed Asner and the actor (Saxon) playing the convict are remarkably good in this episode! As another reviewer said, the colors are striking here, and this installment is an especially good hour of TV.
