Guest stars Susan Strasberg and Andrew Prine do the heavy lifting in this episode, playing the craven opportunist Dr. Stephen Miller and his devoted if misguided wife Barbara. Dr. Miller accuses Kildare of having an affair with Barbara, in order to wriggle out from under very serious charges of patient neglect. Barbara knows this is wrong, but goes against all her best instincts to corroborate her husband's false accusations because she has just discovered she is pregnant and is terrified of raising the child without a father. Strasberg sells her part convincingly, and has never been more beautiful. Prine is a perfect villain, parlaying his undeniable people skills into an almost believable screed of faux wounded righteousness against Kildare. A very solid episode, well written and acted all around, but especially by the guest stars Strasberg and Prine.
