Ready, Aim, Fire
The series ends with an okay episode.
Scott Crane (Jason Bateman) is a real piece of work! He is a slumlord who wants to collect insurance on one of his properties. So, he pays an arsonist to burn it...and in the process two chidren are murdered. The arsonist is panicky due to the deaths and demands Scott pay him more. And, since Scott is an agoraphobe, he's a sitting duck for revenge because he's afraid to leave his house. Will Scott get what's coming to him? Well, it IS the Twilight Zone!
This episode is decent, but considering it's the last of the reboot, I had hoped for more. It's one that isn't particularly deep...you just enjoy watching several horrible people get their karmic due by the end of the story. And, on that very simple level, it works...but is nothing more.

Feel the Burn Baby!
***SPOILERS*** Shut-in or agoraphobic real estate broker Scott Crane,Jason Bateman, has one of his losing properties torched by arsonist Rick,Frank Cassini, in order to collect the insurance money with two young children Dimitri & Sonia,Dom Louis & Rachael Victoria, perishing in the blaze. With Rick feeling guilty in what he did Scott only considered the two children's death the cost of doing business and nothing else. As things soon happen the cost of doing business ends up costing both Scott and Rick as well as Scott's partner in crime insurance agent Kate Graham's, Angela Featherstone, lives.
Scott locked up in his mansion is suddenly sized with fear in that someone is out to get him for the crimes he committed over the years to his customers that he had Rick burn out of their homes. Rick himself is later electrocuted when he broke into Scott's home and in trying to set it on fire-something that he's very good at- touched a live wire that ended up incinerating himself. The same can be said for Kate who ended up together with Scott burned to a crisps when the safe box loaded with cash that she found in his place caught fire by her carelessly dropping a lighted cigarette on it.
***SPOILERS***As for Scott Crane he got everything that was coming to him with his mansion as well as himself burned beyond recognition when his two victims Dom & Sonia came back from the dead to turn the heat up on him and give Scott a taste of his own medicine. Something that he did to many of those who put both their money and trust in Scott and ended up got burned by him! This time around Scott was to feel the same kind of burn that he subjected them to.
