Decent "Quincy" episode.
19 April 2013
"Dead and Alive" begins with some courier taking a package from two drug dealers. However, soon after, the courier's van explodes and then careens into a gas station--and a HUGE explosion results. It clearly appears as if the courier is dead. And, after a forensic expert on dental work examines what's left of the body, Quincy announces that the courier is dead. However, a short time later, the dead man's sister begins receiving odd phone calls that appear to be from the dead guy! But, his mother is anxious to close up the case and get the insurance money, and she pushes to have the case closed. Naturally, Quincy decides to play cop and investigate where the guy might be. But, it's important that they find the guy fast if he does exist, because he was hurt by the blast and sounded as if he's dying. Overall, a decent episode. While the plot is far from exciting, it is a major plus that Quincy is less angry than usual and he isn't on his soap box, so to speak. Worth seeing.
