 SEASON 3, EPISODE 9 FEMME FATALE Aging movie director Desmond Williams (Gordon Pinsent) faithfully cares for his invalid wife, former actress Lili Lita (Kate Reid), while secretly carrying on an affair with Glenda (Chris Moore), the sexy character he created for his classic gangster film, 'A Scandalous Woman'. Glenda, played in the movie by the young Lili Lita, comes to life every time Desmond shows a cursed copy of the drama to a young female victim. The film snatches each woman into its plot, forcing her to act out Glenda's role, including her death in a hail of machine gun fire. But as the movie reaches its climax, Glenda must return to the celluloid, awaiting the next screening- and the next death. Glenda, however, is tiring of her one-night stands with Desmond while the film plays. She pushes him to make his invalid wife the next victim, for she believes that if the aging Lili Lita was killed, Glenda could live on with Desmond forever.
