Yes, this was a good episode, but much more needed to be done and here is why. When that little brat confessed to plotting her own kidnapping so that mom and dad would come together, what happens to such a child? After all, a man died as a result of this plot. Is there counseling? We don't all just kiss and make up. This is certainly not the end of a very emotional child's plan.
That being said, the episode was good as it shows how good police detective work led to the conclusion about the girl and her boyfriend. Sometimes, it's not even good detective work, but basic instincts and the fact that you happen to know the police commissioner in getting one to investigate further. Such was the case of the cleaning lady whose son is arrested for robbery. How lucky for her that she cleans by Frank Regan.
The sidebar story of the D.A. Regan's daughter upset that her mother will be alone on Valentine's Day leading her to set up a date with her boss, the guy who could become mayor and fire grandpa as Police Commissioner. Must everything be political?
