Jarod finds real love and classic comedy
drgarnett24 January 2021
In this episode, Jarod gets into a real-time rescue situation as opposed to an after the facts resolution. Along the way, Jarod partners with a woman with similar emotional scars and finds a true bond. Meanwhile, Miss Parker reminisces about past interactions with Jarod, though she never learns anything from them. As always, the primary storyline serves only to inform the secondary narratives, which are more interesting.

Jack Kehler gives a star turn here in a secondary role as Big Bob, referencing classic comedy routines.

Short Episode Synopsis
KnightsAngel22 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Jarod volunteers in a search for a missing college student. Jarod is determined to save the college student and helps to console the student's mother. By his compassion and intellect, he wins over the heart of one of his fellow volunteers. He can sympathize with her childhood trauma of being snatched away from her family while she was growing up in Argentina, during a time of political turmoil. Thus begins his first male/female relationship. As Jarod is falling for his search partner, he contacts Sydney for guidance and information about the mysteries of the opposite sex. Jarod discovers the phenomenon of "Star Wars" and uses "the force" to pretend that he's the missing student. He meets some very interesting characters by the names of Big Bob and little Bob. Who helps him set up his moral reeducation of a greedy ranger. In the end Jarad's brand of justice prevails.
