->'''Creator/RodSerling''': Two men alone in an attic; a young Japanese-American and a seasoned veteran of yesterday's war.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Arthur's father helped the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor only to be one of those killed in the bombing.



* ShellShockedVeteran: Much of Fenton's behavior in this episode could be blamed on PTSD and war flashbacks, even his drinking problem. He may be a jerk, but he also saw heavy action in one of the cruelest theaters of war in recent history. His insulting demeanor towards a Japanese-American is bigoted, but also can be explained as a reaction to someone of the same ethnicity as the frankly brutal enemy he fought against only 20 years ago.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The Door in Fenton's attic mysteriously closes and doesn't open until the end of the episode where both characters are dead, at which point it opens on its own. Was it locked? What was holding it shut? Ghosts? Sentience? God? The episode doesn't say.
