The experienced thirty-one-year-old astronaut Commander Douglas Stansfield is invited to travel to another planetary system by Dr. Bixler in a forty-years mission called Mount Everest. Stansfield will be in suspended animation along the journey and will not age. One month before the departure, Stansfield meets and falls in love with the twenty-six-year-old scientist Sandra "Sandy" Horn. He promises to look for her when he returns, and she says that she will be an old woman with a welcome plate to salute him. Forty years later, he returns but due to a communication problem, General Walters and his team are not aware of the pioneer flight mission. However, there is a recommendation to summon Miss Sandra Horn in the hibernation center. Soon Stansfield and Sandy meet each and the encounter is not as expected.
The heartbreaking "The Long Morrow" is maybe the saddest episode of "The Twilight Zone". The romance between Stansfield and Sandy is beautiful, but the love story does not end as expected. Stansfield's sacrifice for love is unrepairable. I believe this is the most romantic episode of "The Twilight Zone", with an excellent screenplay and ironic and sad conclusion. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "O Longo Amanhã" ("The Long Tomorrow")
