Season 2, Episode 28 Original air date: May 26, 1961 During a snowstorm, two state troopers are investigating a crash which they are led to believe is actually a flying saucer. The investigation leads the troopers to a local diner where a bus of passengers are left stranded after a snow storm. The troopers quickly assume that one of the patrons might be an alien after it is discovered that there was only six passengers on the bus but miraculously there are now seven. The inhabitants of the dinner quickly believe this premise (which is actually pretty strange, come to think of it) and begin to accuse each other of being the alien. Is it the bugged-eyed belligerent old man? Is it the hot dancer? Is it the only person who is speaking rationally? Or has it actually been the bus driver the entire time? The ending: Well, it turns out that the only guy who was seemingly rational is actually the alien. After dispatching the bus load of passengers he heads back to the diner to have a coffee. He informs the cashier that he is from Mars and that more of his kind are on the way. Then we get presented with the most epic double fake-out ever as the cashier reveals that he is actually from Venus and that his kind had already decided to colonize on earth several years before. Can't intergalactic space aliens just get along? What's your all time favorite Twilight Zone ending? Let us know in the comment section below.
