Review - The Big Glasses Airing 10-20-55
This is an above average episode because it has an ending unexpected until Friday narrates the stories he and Frank have listened to contain things that need to be checked. It is back and forth with the family history when the picture of continued spousal abuse is confirmed from adult children and neighbors.
Friday says it the two stories, father and daughter, could both be true or one a lie, it would be a matter of checking, in order to prove the validity of what they heard. One story after another the father told the police was false. The initial conversation with the father had its holes.
Friday, Smith got in touch with each of Shroder's children, each talked about how mean a man he was and on occasion had struck his wife. It was possible Pauline could have left her husband, but she would have certainly told her children. Neighbors confirmed Mr. Shroder was always angry at his wife and had made no attempt to hide his feelings.
The visit to the original house, now rented, showed Friday had his suspicions. Those suspicions proved to be correct. Why was carpet laid when the wife had asked for it for years and was denied? The basement check was key to the beginning of the end for the abusive man. The incinerator ashes were worth poking around in since the new renters hardly would have produced a big pile of ash already. They had only been there a month. Mom used to wear glasses and human bone was part of the ashes coupled with the human blood found in the house. Get the abusive man to confess his crime then send him to the gas chamber. Hooray for Friday, Smith. They solved another and justice was met.
