* RedHerring: A prominent suspect in the episode is the building's young caretaker, who is an obvious {{Expy}} of [[Film/{{Psycho}} Norman Bates]]. He seems to be ruled out as a suspect about halfway through the episode, only to seem to be about to attack Bonnie in the finale. [[spoiler: It turns out he just has almost no social intelligence or judgement and was just trying to express romantic interest in her, and the real culprit turns out to be someone else entirely.]]

During a wild pre-Halloween Party at her university, Bonnie is troubled by exam finals and a bad cold. After taking medicine to ease her symptoms, she sees a gorilla take a girl into an apartment, and a minute later, the gorilla is seen strangling her. Her attacker sees Bonnie, but she passes out unconscious, thanks to the sleep aid in the cold medicine.

After telling about what occurred the night before to Devon, Michael and K.I.T.T. investigate the mysterious goings-on and the suspicious characters they encounter, but the killer is slowly closing in on Bonnie...
