A Strange Mix
Hitchcoc29 July 2021
Lucy proceeds in her efforts to take over the guardianship of Fabian. I have some uneasiness. Belker goes undercover to get a guy running a stolen car ring. J. D. Steals Howard's dog and lets a group doing a rock video use him. And once again, Henry oversteps his bound in putting off the demolition of a building by a huge developer who thinks he is invulnerable. Frank is furious but can only warn Henry.

Neat episode

Warning: Spoilers
Goldblume (an excellent Joe Spano) goes after a slum lord after an elderly tenant commits suicide. Bates (a fine Betty Thomas) pays off Fabian's mother Vivian (a memorable turn by Beverly Hope Atkinson) so she can acquire complete guardianship of Fabian (likeable Zero Hubbard). A music video is shot inside the station. Belker (well played with trademark growly gusto by Bruce Weitz) busts a corrupt parole officer who's running a car theft ring.

The music video story proves to be a total hoot: Jablonski (a nicely crusty Robert Prosky) get deputized as an extra while LaRue (a spot-on smarmy Kiel Martin) lends Hunter's beloved dog to the production without running it by Hunter (an amusingly pompous James Sikking) first. Moreover, Goldblume has a falling out with Furillo (the always terrific Daniel J. Travanti) over how Goldblue handles the tenant case. It's also nice to see Coffey (sturdy work from Ed Marinaro) help Bates out concerning Fabian. Hal Williams contributes a perfectly menacing portrayal of crooked parole officer Edwards while Richard Bright excels as sniveling ex-con Stubby.
