Warning: Spoilers
The omnipresent John Forsyth comes home. He has been in Europe studying music and performing. Nevertheless, some force has driven him back to his roots, to visit his estranged father. When people see him, they become unsettled. He soon finds out that his father has been dead for four years. Putting two and two together, he suspects that his brother in law and the family lawyer are responsible for his dad's death. He begins a haphazard quest to find evidence, violently threatening people, wandering around the countryside. His premonition has an interesting "Alfred Hitchcock" conclusion. I would have never recognized Cloris Leachman, but she plays his suffering sister. This is a very well done episode, although I wonder if people first watching the series thought each episode was going to be about an unbalanced protagonist.
