After viewing the episode I discovered there was a near fatal accident in the film. The child’s father was driving he and his wife home after the police investigator gave him a copy of her criminal record from another town. The scene was similar to the incident I was involved in while driving down interstate 40. The scene in the film ends in the husband safely stopping the vehicle and preventing an accident.
…the man stops the car just short of a cliff, of course to a writer this would have been a cliffhanger in some other film or novel, ie, Tinkling Symbol, and is related to the mountain climber on The Price is Right.
