Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Great suspense. Disappointing ending
Other than the bad ending, this could easily have been expanded into a compelling one act play. Great minimalist characters that still get developed. Due to the title, I keep comparing it to No Exit. Jason Alexander is the highlight throughout.

Questions!
A story with a lot of questions. Some answered, but in a classic creepy Twilight Zone way. A good episode, but with acting not as good as usual in these dramas.
