YMMV / Night Gallery S 1 E 2

• Magnificent Bastard: Jacob Bauman is a bedridden man who plots revenge on his unfaithful wife, while maintaining a witty, irreverent charm. Appearing to be helpless and frail, Bauman uses his binoculars to spy on people's movements, learning his wife is having an affair with another man, and that his nurse is also engaged to the same man. Manipulating his nurse to give him details about the relationship, Bauman skillfully controls the conversation until he learns that she is prone to jealous rage if she sees her fiance with another woman. Using this to his advantage, Bauman gives her a gun before sending her to her fiance's apartment to "surprise" him, knowing she will find him and his wife together. The plan goes off without a hitch, with his nurse shooting them both dead, while Bauman notes with satisfaction that there are some things he can still do on his own.
