The lobby clerks and the bellmen on duty all acted like they'd been expecting him.

So Lew Basnight is in The Twilight Zone now. I mean he was already in The Twilight Zone when he found himself in this strange plaza within a plaza, and probably when he found himself in a Chicago he didn't recognize, and probably even when he realized he couldn't remember the sin he supposedly committed. It's just that I didn't recognize this as an episode of The Twilight Zone until all the bit players Lew had yet to meet recognized him immediately and began tipping their hats and saying things like, "Welcom to the Esthonia, Mr. Basnight!" and "So glad you could make it, Mr. Basnight!" and "How's tricks, Lew?"
And you know what that means, right? Drave is totally the devil! The antagonist of every episode of The Twilight Zone is the devil unless otherwise stated in the dialogue. That's just a simple fact.
