Nathan Earle's try snatched a 31-29 bonus-point victory for third-placed Harlequins with the last move of the game after Bath fought their way back from being 14-0 down in the first 11 minutes.
It was the second game in succession that Bath had thrown away victory in the dying seconds, after an equally agonising 27-26 loss at Northampton last Saturday.
Quins had monopolised possession and territory before taking the lead after eight minutes. Will Chudley escaped a penalty and possible yellow card when slapping at a pass but Quins eventually worked a close-range try from the scrum for Chris Robshaw.

No sooner had James Lang converted the try than he was teeing the ball up again in front of the posts after centre Joe Merchant profited from a loose Freddie Burns pass in midfield, hacked on by Alex Dombrandt.
