Too Many Holes In This One
5 August 2006
This was a somewhat weak episode compared to most episodes in this great TV series.

A model goes up to a photographer's studio to kill him but is beaten to the punch by someone hiding in the kitchen. The killer sees the model but some unexplainable reason doesn't kill her (just attempts to run her down with his car afterward - which makes no sense.)

It turns out the model is good friends with Gunn's girlfriend "Edie Hart" (Lola Albright) so Peter helps out with the case. He meets some weird Russian ballet dancer who tips him off to a reporter. The newsman is a constant drunk but Pete is suspicious he may be the killer. Later he visits the newspaper (where conveniently NOBODY is in the building) and brings along the model to spook the suspect. That plan works, a gunfight ensues, and......

Frank Maxwell guest-stars in here. He is another of those very familiar faces from television in the '50s through the '70s. You know the face, but don't know the name. He plays "Rector."

All in all, too many holes and not a good episode in general.
