This episode concerns a little girl named Karen who can sense when people are about to die and is compelled to give them a dramatic "goodbye". It happens first with her mother. When it happens again to a friend of Karen's, her sister Libby and Libby's fiancé Max accuse her of causing the deaths. To defend herself, she threatens to "say good-bye to Max" if they continue to accuse her. So Libby and Max begin to fear her and walk on eggshells around her. However, when Karen is alone talking to her doll she confesses that she is not causing the deaths, and doesn't want anyone to die. She is merely aware the deaths are going to happen, and she can't help saying good-bye. But Libby and Max don't hear this, and it leads to tragic results. Despite the usual low budget sets and effects, this is an effectively creepy and chilling episode. Alison Sweeney as little Karen is particularly good.
