During the events of Schizoid (1980) played by Craig Wasson
Doug watches as Julie, Rosemary, Sally, Pat, and Francoise sit in a hot tub together. Sally and Julie ride their bicycles home and are followed by Doug in a car. Julie and Sally go in different directions and Doug follows Sally. Sally rides into an abandoned cloves, wildflower and honey farm and notices Doug following her. She pedals faster, but is knocked off the gravel path by Doug. Sally runs into the abandoned farm house and Doug pulls out a large pair of scissors from his glove box. He stalks Sally in the house and she runs into the garage where she is stabbed repeatedly in the stomach and dies. Later, Julie shows a letter she received to Doug, who thinks she should go to the police and it is probably a member of the therapy group she goes to. He blames the therapy group for their divorce and she asks if the divorce papers came in. He shows her some wall paper he plans on using to decorate the new art department with. Pat leaves work and is followed by Doug. She notices she is being followed and starts to run. She hides in a building and Doug pulls out the large scissors. He corners her and then stabs her to death. The next day, Julie shows Doug another letter she received. Maxine walks in and calls the sender a schizoid and when Julie suggests reaching out to the writer with her column, Doug doesn't like the idea.
After putting up some wallpaper at work, Doug goes into a closet where he has a mattress set up. He opens the door and watches as Julie goes into her office. He sees Gilbert surprise her and watches as Julie and Gilbert get into the elevator. Doug goes into Julie's office and leaves her a message. He goes to Julie's apartment complex and buzzes her apartment, but she is sleeping with Pieter Fales and she doesn't answer. As Doug is climbing the fire escape ladder, he is spotted by Guy with Bat who starts to chase him, but Doug manages to get away. Doug goes to Rosemary's house and stabs her to death with scissors while she is in her hot tub. Donahue and Jake go to Julie's office and show her and Doug how they set up the second line. The phone rings and a guy comes on the line and tells Julie, he thinks she is full of crap. The phone rings again, and it is Alison Fales on the other end. She asks if she can come and see Julie and Julie invites her to come and see her at her office. Julie lets Alison into her office and Alison admits that she is the one that wrote all the letters. Alison pulls out a gun and points it at Julie and Doug. Pieter calls the office and Julie tells him Alison is with her. As Pieter is looking for Alison, someone starts to shoot at him. Pieter uses the phone to make the other phones in the offices ring and someone picks up a phone. Pieter says he never meant for Julie to take the place of Alison or her mother and Doug, who is on the other line, tells Pieter he makes him sick. Doug starts to hunt Pieter. Doug catches Pieter and blames him for the failure of his and Julie's marriage. Pieter and Doug start to fight and Alison stabs Doug in the back with the large scissors, killing him.
