About this episode

Jill Hargreaves is constantly fatigued and suspects something is wrong with her health, while her brother, John Hargreaves, has taken over the family’s meat business after their father's death. John uses hypnosis to manipulate Jill, convincing her to jump into a swimming pool while sleepwalking. Tony Lane, a swimming instructor hired by John, witnesses this incident and becomes concerned about Jill’s safety. After confirming with the two gardeners, Levy and Homer, that they rescued Jill, Tony confronts John about his control over her. Ultimately, it is revealed that John intended no harm; he hoped to convince Jill of her supposed mental instability to gain power over her share of the family business, leading him to abandon his hypnotic practices for karate instead.
