Mirror Image
starring Vera Miles, Martin Milner
written by Rod Serling
directed by John Brahm
Millicent Barnes (Vera Miles) is waiting for a bus to Buffalo, NY. She doesn't understand why everyone keeps telling her that they just saw her a minute ago when she is meeting them for the first time. Twice sees she sees herself. Once in a bathroom mirror and then again in on a bus that she is about to board. Paul Grinstead (Martin Milner), who is waiting for the same bus tries to help her but he ultimately decides to call the police and let them deal with the matter. That gets her out of his hair but then he starts seeing someone who looks just like himself.
This episode is just plain weird. There is no simple explanation that I can think of that can explain it to my satisfaction. There is a theory put forth in the episode about parallel worlds but I don't think that really explains everything that happens to any extent.
Notes
This is the only episode of this show in which Vera Miles appeared. I've seen her in a few TV shows and movies including, most recently, The Wrong Man (1956).
This is the only episode of this show in which Martin Milner appeared.
This is the fourth of 12 episodes that John Brahm directed. The third one he directed was 1.13 Four of Us Are Dying but the most recent thing I watched that he directed was an episode of The Outer Limits (1963) 1.18 ZZZZZ.
