    Liver poison!

    This episode of "Night Gallery" is most remembered for the segment "I did not Mean to Slay Thee". The story involves a young woman played by Pam Franklin who's maybe dying from liver disease yet the story twist strange with her doctor(Gary Collins), plus seeing into the future and another love affair play a role too! Overall the tale is interesting and strange as it's revealed that something else played a part in the lady's liver problems overall good well done written episode.
