Flowers of Death

Episode: 0211

Plot
Gretchen, an ordinary housewife has her humdrum existence and entire worldview changed when a man claiming to be the ancient Greek god Dionysus knocks on her door one day.

Unfortunately, her ambitious husband, Walter, liked their existence just the way it was and is not at all happy with Gretchen's new behavior.

To make matters worse, Walter is on the verge of being promoted at work, and his boss, Mr Baylor, is firmly of the belief that the man he promotes to the position must have a wife who will be an asset to the company, someone who will tow the line and fit in perfectly at company events.

When Mr Baylor comes over for dinner disaster ensues.

Quotes
"Someday we shall simply have to rid ourselves of all the well-worn cliches that obscure our speech and corrode our thinking...We should start with the one that says, 'Ignorance is bliss.' The fact of the matter is that the truly ignorant are seldom blissful. Indeed they are usually unhappy, suspicious, stubborn, and frustrated. True, a little bit of wisdom may be dangerous, but a great deal of ignorance can be fatal."
