For connoisseurs of Jim Rockford getting beat up, this episode features perhaps his most pathetic beatdown ever as he returns home from the grocery only to find two hoods looking for Rocky at his door. They promptly drag him behind his own trailer and work him over, and Jim is only saved by a sneering lifeguard on Beach Patrol who mistakes him for a drunk and doesn't even know that he lives there. Classic.
When I first watched this 2-parter I found it a bit of a bore - a slim story extended to two installments - but on a second viewing, it's just a great Jim and Rocky episode. We find out about Rocky's secret social life, which comes as a shocker to Jim who discovers, among other things, that his dad has a steady lady friend in Beverly Hills!
