This one is about a woman who gets hit by a car while trying to escape from some rapists and then provides Webster with a clue as to what happened while she's laying on the pavement.

This is a different kind of episode because Webster takes on the role of detective here in order to find out the circumstances that led to the woman being hit by the car. This is an intriguing and touching episode as Webster feels he owes it to the woman to ascertain what actually happened, and he shows a lot of determination and dedication in doing so.

As is usually the case with this show, it's no mystery who the criminals are since the rapists are revealed in the opening scene. The only question is whether Webster will be able to identify the woman and determine what happened and gather the evidence needed to arrest the rapists, and it's really interesting and fascinating to watch as he tries to unravel the story behind what happened. Owens helps him out a little bit but is mostly just along for the ride as the focus is on Webster.

This is one of Georg Stanford Brown's best performances, which is really saying something, since he's had many great performances on this show. He's a terrific actor and this is quite an emotional performance here and he's fantastic.

Bruce Fairbairn's hair looks as bad as ever. It's curly and all over the place and not even combed in some spots, like in the front and on top. It really looks terrible and he just looks like a clown.

Danko is absent except for a brief appearance at his apartment.

Ryker is actually low-key for a change and doesn't do any ridiculous and unnecessary yelling.

Jill has a scene in the hospital as she updates Webster and Owens on the woman's condition. She also has a brief scene later on in her apartment.

There's a rare scene in a morgue in this one, which aligns with the detective theme. The coroner is quite a wacko as he's eating a sandwich while handling corpses, talking with food in his mouth and joking about the figures on bodies in the morgue.

The action scenes consist of several chases and some nice stunts. There are no shootouts.

This is a well-written, engaging and entertaining episode and one you don't want to miss.

I really enjoyed this episode; it was very touching and emotional! It's one of the best of the series. The storyline outlines the persona of Officer Terry Webster, from that of tough street-wise cop, to showing his compassionate side. Georg Stanford Brown is an exceptional actor, and he doesn't disappoint! The name of this storyline--Someone Who Cares-- is certainly appropriate, in that Terry truly did care for the welfare of the girl who was hit by the car. As a viewer, I was totally riveted during the scene where Karen is lying on the pavement after being hit by the car. She's in great pain, physically and emotionally and she is crying. Terry, his facial expression showing great concern for the girl, is kneeling next to her, letting her squeeze his "big paw" and offering soothing words of comfort to try to help her relax. His tender mannerism shows such a compassionate nature of a cop who goes beyond just doing his job; he cares enough to really go the extra mile to care for a stranger. Terry's tenacity in cutting thru red tape to identify the girl and find her mother further adds to the drama, beautifully played out. Of course, there's no mystery as to who the attackers are, but nonetheless, it was intriguing how he never gave up on investigating the case--in a role more like a detective vs. Police officer--to ensure she didn't die as a Jane Doe and to bring the criminals to justice. The scene in the morgue was kind of creepy and the guy who worked there fit right in, a real lech. I think it's admirable that Terry--as a cop--didn't automatically think she was a doper, just because LSD was found in her body. He believed in her and made it his mission in his ongoing efforts to prove that she didn't use drugs, to find out who she was and to locate her mother. That's a person I would want in my corner! I especially liked the scene when Terry and Chris were at Charlie's apartment building and Terry got somewhat emotional when telling Charlie that he knew the brothers were guilty of doping Karen's food and attempting to rape her. The viewers could see both his utter contempt for the brothers, and, at the same time, the raw emotions he displayed when thinking about what they'd done to Karen. That translated into him showing pure anger when he started shouting at Charlie. Great riveting scene! The final part of showing Terry in the cemetery with Karen's mother brings a poignancy of reflections of what life is really all about. It's a winner!!
