Pull the switch

What does "pull the switch" mean in this context?

"Tonight, I'll hook a guy. Tomorrow, pull the switch. Before the ten days are up, I'm going to have this guy running for his life."

Thanks!

Finish the relationship, devastating him. "Pull the switch" is what you do when you kill a criminal in an electric chair. "After 30 years of marriage, I decided to pull the switch and end it all."
