This episode is slightly against the norm, at least the latter half is, as it's basically filmed in a secluded, wooded cabin as Jim and his accountant go over tax returns. The brightest aspect is the performance of George Loros, who plays "Anthony Boy" Gagglio, who just got released from prison and is looking for a vendetta against Rockford, who supposedly helped put him in jail, although this wasn't fully revealed here. Loros is a frequent Rockford guest star, and he plays Gagglio perfectly, and really looks the part. I was also impressed with Joseph Sirola(Jospeh Minett)and Penny Santon, who plays Anthony's mother, and the 2 share a delicate scene together when discussing her wild son. As usual, Rockford and Angel have great chemistry together, as Angel flees to the cabin after getting smacked around by Anthony; Rocky and Dennis have a scene or 2 for good measure. In the beginning of the episode, Rockford had major dental work, as he had wisdom teeth pulled, and I have to wonder if James Garner really had dental work done during the filming, as he is a consummate professional. The ending may want the viewer, such as me, wanting a bit more than we got, as Anthony finally catches up with Rockford, and the other goons finally catch up with Anthony, and Angel's prized car, Lucille, gets blown up by Rockford as a diversion to escape, which they do. This is still a decent episode, but not close to my favorite.
