    Very good episode

    Someone threatens to detonate a nuclear device unless Peter McCord a convicted murderer is turned over. When the man refuses to cooperate, Phillip Hunt the man trying to get him out calls Devon. Michael is sent to prison to get him out, and when he does, he is disturbed that McCord doesn't want to leave jail, and feel he is innocent ....

    Really good episode that mixes the emotional drama with the usual turbo boosting antics. A really good cliffhanger with Knight &KITT racing away with the bomb to an isolated area. The leading lady who plays McCord's daughter is hot, and so is Rebeca Holden.

    Brother's Keeper

    KITT gets a lot of practice jumping over high walls as he gets Michael and Peter McCord, a convicted murderer out of jail.

    McCord may hold the key to find a ticking bomb hidden somewhere in the city. The police are after Michael and KITT, a mobster wants McCord dead. An old friend of Devon used the Knight Foundation to get McCord out of jail and lure him to the mobster in order to save innocent lives.

    Michael s impressed by McCord's reluctance to escape jail, McCord pleads his innocence to the killing of his wife.

    A rather routine episode with KITT defying physics with such high leaps on autopilot. More impressive is April again downing the typewriter and tweaking with KITT's parts.

    I said she's da bomb!

    A weak concept for an episode, the characters had no depth but yet were supposed to be involved in an overly exaggerated emotional case just because some guy got jaded years ago. Made no sense.

    you ramble on about the car any way you want, buddy...

    ...but it's Catherine Mary Stewart for me, thank you very much. Classy and cute. Much better choice of leading lady than "last week"'s outing. In fact, why didn't the producers enlist this beauty to stand in for Patricia? There isn't as much as anything wrong with Rebecca Holden, but her country-girl-in-gingham-shirt appeal just pales in comparison to Patricia. I'm sorry, that's the way it is. I never did see it that way at the time. We're talking almost four decades ago. But Catherine? She is wonderful, she has that combination of elegance and allure in perfect harmony.

    • Trivia
      First appearance of K.I.T.T.'s Bomb Detection Module.
    • Goofs
      When the bomb is taken from the marina area, the timer reads 15:00:01. When the bomb is seen in the parking garage, it has just under 13 hours on the timer. The bomb is set to explode at noon the next day, yet it is full day light outside, and since Michael visits Fenton after 7:00 p.m. while it is full dark outside, the bomb must have been transported earlier that afternoon. The timer should have started at 20 hours or so.

      K.I.T.T.: How did it go, Michael?

      Michael Knight: Fenton's definitely our man. But he sure plays a mean game of chess.

      K.I.T.T.: Chess, the two of you played chess?

      Michael Knight: No, I mean the man's got ice in his veins.

      K.I.T.T.: Oh dear, that does sound serious.
