This is a good episode and is one of the better ones from this season. It's about a woman whose boss is trying to kill her because she overhead them talking about "bringing in the horses" and it turns out what they were actually bringing in was a horse of a different color. The woman was also leading a double life.
Joe actually doesn't get shot at or clobbered over the head in this one, so that's a plus. There are a couple of good fight scenes too.
Peggy's line at the end about her new chair is really funny and so is Joe's reaction. Great stuff. I also liked the mob guy with the patch over his eye.
The worst part of the episode is the scene involving the other private detective, who made it VERY OBVIOUS he was following Joe. Then when Joe confronts him, he demands to know the name of the other private detective's client, which is highly hypocritical because we all know that Joe himself would NEVER reveal the name of his client to ANYONE. He then proceeds to lecture the other detective on professional ethics and then like a wimp the other detective reveals his client's name to Joe just because Joe demanded it. Totally absurd and ridiculous.
I also didn't like how Joe was able to magically conclude that the phone number on the pad had something to do with the case and that Sylvia would be found at the bar when he had no way of knowing that. Also, once again we have the overused cliche where Joe tells his client not to leave a certain place and of course she doesn't listen to him, and in fact she does it TWICE in this episode. Yes, that's right - TWICE. In one of these instances, Peggy was also told not to leave and she also didn't listen. She should be fired - she's too unreliable and can't obey orders.
But the positives do outweigh the negatives and overall this is a good episode.
