The Twilight Zone - 5x13 - Ring-a-Ding Girl

    An actress receives a ring from her hometown fan-club.  She sees people she knows in the ring, telling her to come home.
    So, on her way to a job, she stops by her hometown for a day.  She occasionally gets messages through her ring.  She tries to persuade the residents to go to see her perform a one-woman show at the high school, rather than go to a picnic.
    The twist is bizarre.  It turns out that she's actually on the plane, and her plane crashes into the field that the picnic was to be held on.

    I'm very familiar with the Twilight Zone.  I've seen the majority of the episodes, but this is one that I never had any interest in.  This is also one of the stranger episodes, since I felt like the twist didn't make any sense.  So is she actually existing in two places at once?  What's the point of the ring?  Is that a red herring?
    Despite this confusion, it just plays like a variation of the vanishing hitchhiker.
