I agree with the person who wrote that Serling/Matheson were unduly harsh on Elva. It does seem cruel considering that her life was already ruined in many ways by the event referred to in the story. They changed the ending from the original Matheson short story, adding the sad and ironic end in place of the original end which continued the horror thread to a far more frightening conclusion (no spoiler here for those who wish to read the story, which I recommend highly). I also was slightly troubled by the age discrepancy, but I guess script writers don't expect us to do math while watching TV. I notice that two comments mention a different actress playing Elva. Was this episode re-done in the later TZ series in the '80s? All in all, one of the many excellent stories presented by Rod and the other immortal TZ writers.
