Another good entry appearing as the second episode in Alfred Hitchcock's television series, although there's enough of a similarity to the first that you might wonder why they aired back to back. This story also deals with mental illness, a fact not discovered until the show is almost over, but then it leads the viewer to question why the players involved with Kim Stanger (John Forsythe) didn't take a different tack when they first saw him, purportedly returned from Europe on a strange premonition that he had to return home for some unknown reason. It's revealed near the end that he killed his estranged father and escaped from a hospital, with no knowledge of his behavior until his sister-on-law (Cloris Leachman) leveled with him. With all parties involved knowing what happened four years earlier, wouldn't the average person have summoned authorities to deal with a man who had killed someone, especially a member of his own family? I found that to be a major flaw in the story's plot, but have to admit, it had you wondering how it would turn out once the dust settled.
