The latest episode of Severance has some parallels to an episode of The Twilight Zone with the exact same title.

" The After Hours " stars Anne Francis as a woman who strides into a department store looking to buy a gold thimble as a present for her mother.

The two episodes titled “ The After Hours ” are couched in separate contexts, but feel very in concert with each other.

Marsha White , in her normal and natural state, a wooden lady with a painted face who, one month out of the year , takes on the characteristics of someone as normal and as flesh and blood as you and I,” Serling explains in his episode-ending narration.
