The Twilight Zone Recap: Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?
A pair of policemen witness something crash through the trees and into the lake, but they don't know what it was. All they can find is a set of footprints headed off through the woods, headed to the diner. In the diner, a bus has stopped, and everything there seems to be okay, until they count heads and realize there is an extra person. But no one seems to know who the extra person is - is it the crazy old man, the businessman bound for Boston or even the bus driver himself?
In the end, no one can tell, so everyone gets back on the bus, and the bridge promptly collapses into the river as it has been weakened by the ice. Or so says the businessman as he re-enters the diner. The counter man wonders why the businessman isn't even wet, and as the businessman shows a third arm, we begin to see who the alien might be in this case - until the counter man removes his hat and tells us he's from Venus, and the Martian's colonizing buddies have been intercepted, and the Venusians are coming instead. Nice.
