An ex-con trying to go straight
pkfloydmh2 October 2021
This one is about a parolee whose former cellmates try to get him to help them pull off a jewel heist.

This is a good episode with a compelling plot about an ex-con who's trying to go straight but is being enticed by his former cellmates to help them steal some jewels which will result in a big payday for him.

The performances by the entire cast are solid. Charles Napier and George Loros both make another one of their many appearances as toughies in various TV shows and movies.

There are no hospital scenes, so there are no scenes with Jill as a nurse, but she does have a couple of non-nurse scenes.

There's plenty of action, including a couple of nice chases and shootouts and also a fight scene.

One obvious problem is Webster is taken hostage, which is the TENTH hostage crisis this show has done in three and a half years and the fifth one involving Webster, which is just extraordinary and unprecedented, but beyond that this is a great episode with lots of action and a good story.
