For those curious, this is what the episode boils down to.

As it turns out, the meteorites are not the cause of men being violent, evil assholes in the episode. It is just a placebo that for reasons unknown made them all believe they could do whatever they wanted. The end of the episode has a kid say that "there is no cure" because there is no commonality. He mentions having chosen to embrace the anger near the end but stopped and it was all his choice, not a reaction to the meteorite in his back pocket. The final shot before Jordan Peele appears is a soldier telling Amy (main character) that she should smile more and that she would look better if she did, to which she defiantly says, "No." I'd bet $100 feminists who watch this cheered at that as if it's some "empowering" moment or some other bullshit.

Outside of that, this episode just does not feel like an episode of The Twilight Zone. If anything, it felt like a Purge movie. It was enjoyable until the in-your-face "all men are evil by choice" at the end, but as far as feeling like it is part of this series it fails.
