Season 3, Episode 10 Original air date: November 17, 1961 It's the hottest day in history, the earth is slowly being pulled towards the sun and society is slowly becoming deprived of drinking water. This episode follows a young lady named Norma, and her landlady, Mrs. Bronson, the last two people in their apartment building who haven't fled. The two spend the day together as they slowly become delirious from the heat. A wanderer later breaks into their apartment and robs them for the last of their water and they essentially become doomed. Mrs. Bronson collapses and dies from heat exhaustion and Norma quickly follows. The ending: It turns out the entire thing was a dream, Norma wakes up and not only is the world not becoming increasingly hot but it's actually snowing outside. All seems well, for about thirty seconds. It turns out that instead of the planet moving towards the sun, we're actually moving away from it and everybody on the planet is soon going to freeze. So, the ultimate question becomes: would you rather burn or freeze to death?
