This is a scene from the Season 5 episode "Daddy Does His Thing" which was filmed on January 13, 1969. Shortly after this scene was filmed, Dick York collapsed on set and bit a hole into his tongue. At the hospital, he and the director William Asher mutually agreed to part ways. The episode was partially rewritten and Darrin was written out of the final scene. The rest of the episodes in Season 5 were filmed without Darrin present, usually making up some excuse as to why he was absent. In March 1969, Dick Sargent was cast replace Dick York as Darrin for Season 6, and he played the character until the show's cancellation in 1972. Dick York spent the next 18 months bedridden and battling an addiction to pain killers, and this would ultimately be the last major role he would play.
