 SEASON 3, EPISODE 16 MY WIFE AS A DOG Fireman Aubrey Ross (Denis Forest) is distraught. He's losing the two most important things in his life- his wife Lea (Kim Nelles), who has left him and is demanding a divorce, and his beloved dog Kelly, who is dying a slow death. Believing that a co-worker is responsible for the break-up of his marriage, Aubrey argues with the man while the two are fighting a fire and strangles him with an elaborate dog leash he finds in the burning house. Returning home, Aubrey attaches the leash to Kelly, who undergoes a miraculous recovery. Realizing that the leash possesses some sort of mystical power, Aubrey kills two more people and learns that, with every murder, Kelly becomes more like Lea...and Lea becomes more like Kelly, including suffering from the dog's illness. Aubrey concludes that if his devoted pet is going to transform into Lea, Lea must be killed first.
