Charlie Brewer gets home from work, upon putting his coat away, he notices a hat in the closet with the initials B M on them. He doesn’t think much of it at first and goes to talk to his wife about his day at work, (maybe the news too). After they talk, Margret Brewer goes out to meet one of her friends for drinks, she never comes back. Brian hears on the morning news the next day that she died, her car was found driven off the road. In order to cope with his wife’s death, Charlie decides to attend therapy sessions with Dr. Mischler, a therapist. Upon arriving at her office for his first session, he sees a jacket with the initials B M embroidered on the side, the letters look alike to the ones he saw on the hat the night Margret Brewer died. Upon seeing this, he reaches the conclusion that his wife was cheating on him with Brian Mischler, his therapist’s husband. As they talk more, it becomes evident that Dr. Mischler is a fairly jealous person, which causes Charlie to start to suspect that she was behind his wife’s murder. Sad and lonely, Charlie decides to have a few drinks at home, but what was supposed to be a few drinks results in him blacking out. He wakes up the next morning, hungover, and calls the therapist's office to tell them he isn’t coming because he isn’t feeling well. He is answered by a receptionist who tells him that Debra (Dr.) Mischler was strangled in her sleep last night. Charlie reaches into his pocket for a handkerchief but finds some rope in there, realizing he has some rope burn marks on his hands as well, he realizes that he was the one who killed Dr. Mischler. He drops to the couch, lucid yet distraught in his realization of having murdered Dr. Mischler.
