Ah yes, even in the Twilight Zone we find ourselves with a cautionary tale about making someone love us. A certain Roger Shackleforth finds out the hard way... in the... Twilight... Zone...
This episode is easy to describe... just imagine any story where a dude loves a chick so much but the love is unrequited. So the dude in question happens upon a dealer in love potions to make that girl love him unconditionally. Once the dude realizes how annoying a girl who loves someone unconditionally is, of course he needs to solve his problem. So dude in question goes back to the potion dealer and gets a potion to murder the chick. But the dude does something stupid and screws everything up.
Multiple variations are out there, the dude might accidentally drink the potion, killing himself in the process... and the chick who still loves him doesn't ever want to let him go, so she kills herself too so she can be with him forever in heaven. This variation isn't as cool, since he just ends up being stuck with her forever until he/she dies.
It's kind of a throwaway episode, since it's something I've seen before in movies/tv/National Enquirer, but it's not bad by any means.
I give it 3 love potions out of 9
