Compelling, fascinating, well-acted and well-written. Jacqueline Scott is brilliantly fierce and scary as a venom-spewing vindictive woman filled with both too much hate and love who decides to take VIP hostages (including Jill Danko) in a most unlikely place (a hospital surgical suite) to get her demands met: her lover released from jail, money and an escape route.
The episode is gripping and logical, and doesn't require all that much suspension of disbelief given what was going on in California in the 1970s.
As noted, Jacqueline Scott is brilliant but the entire cast performs wonderfully and kudos all around.
