Owens's sister gets raped
pkfloydmh1 October 2021
This one is about Owens's sister being raped.

Owens takes center stage here, so it's Bruce Fairbairn's opportunity to shine and he does just that in one of his best performances. Season Hubley is great too as Kim, his sister. The performances from the rest of the cast are also stellar.

Ryker and Webster are both absent except for appearances in the first five minutes.

Jill has a scene in the hospital as she updates Owens on his sister's condition.

There are some horrific-looking clothes in this one, like the checkered pants worn by Morgan, the reddish-brown shirt with the huge collars worn by Ayres and the god-awful yellow, orange and grey shirt worn by Morgan at the end. These are some of the worst clothes I've seen on this show yet.

Bruce Fairbairn's hair continues to look dreadful. The curliness just doesn't work for him and looks downright silly. He should have kept it straight, like it appears in the opening title sequence.

There are some good fight scenes, with Owens throwing a couple of haymakers at one point. The problem is you can clearly see that it's a stuntman doing the fighting for Owens, since his hair is longer and blacker than Owens's.

This is a rare episode with Bruce Fairbairn as the focus and he comes through with a strong and emotional performance, as does Season Hubley. This is a really good and touching episode.
