I enjoyed the complexity of this episode, with the vulnerability of affirmative action programs mixed with mysterious deaths, and the reputation of one of Quincy's oldest friends on the line. Good acting throughout, and I appreciated that it raised a social issue which is still sensitive today, with systemic racism common in the medical profession.
Although it wasn't difficult to identify the murderer (mostly because they had no other function in the plot), I did enjoy that Quincy spent fruitless days trying to find the cause of death in the first victim until Dr Asten wandered in, picked up a magnifying glass and found it in 30 seconds. I also enjoyed the 1970s electronic hospital record system, which seemed much more complete and accessible than the ones we have today!
