Pernell Robert's last episode was in the sixth season, episode 197 "To Own The World," aired April 15, 1965. Adam didn't say good-bye. Roberts was fired, so he simply disappeared from the cast. He actually made two episodes after this one, but they were telecast before this one. Explanations were made in the scripts after he was gone.
There was no specific episode where he left. It was left up in the air, leaving open the opportunity for actor Pernell Roberts to return if he wanted. Roberts left after the sixth season with the excuse of a trip to Australia written in. Of course he never did return, and although Roberts could not be replaced eventually the character of Candy was introduced.
