Doppelganger from another dimension.

Astronaut Major Major Robert Gaines (Steve Forrest) returns from a mission to find that his home isn't quite how he remembers it; furthermore, his wife and daughter start to think that he is someone else.

I thought I knew how this episode was going to end: Major Gaines is told that the leader of the United States is President Kennedy, much to his relief, after which someone says something along the lines of 'Yup, President William Kennedy'. Close up on the Major's face as he realises the truth.

Sadly, the actual ending is quite different, and in my opinion, less effective. As for the rest of the episode, it's sufficiently intriguing to hold one's attention, athough as is often the case with Season Four, it does feel like it could have been done and dusted in half the time.
