One of Season 2's Best

A definite highlight of the second season and the first of two fantastic MS episodes to feature Brenda Scott. Here she plays a sketchy mysterious blonde who meets Pete in a bar, spikes his drink and ends up taking him to a rustic resort, where he ends up being framed for murder. Her brother is played by a Don Stroud lookalike.

Lynn Borden (HAZEL) has a small but pivotal role as a bad-girl-gone-good. Even though she's only onscreen a short time you'll end up feeling bad for her character. Richard Dean Anderson is the no-nonsense DA with an axe to grind towards Pete. Jo-Ann Harris is in this too but you won't recognize her.

A great script with an intriguing mystery that keeps you guessing and doesn't tip its' hand. Julie is the MVP here as she easily spots a taxi cab tied into the whole plot and then dons a groovy disguise as a kooky switchboard operator to help trap the perp.

Definitely one of the more complex, better-written episodes. Check it out! 9/10.
