Mistaken revenge gone wrong
tweezey6 April 2022
I pretty much liked this storyline, although it seemed a bit farfetched at times. One thing that is not really clear is how those college punks drew the conclusion that Officer Terry Webster was at the rally 2 years ago and therefore responsible for the death of Cory Banning's girlfriend. Of course, Terry did state that he was there, but should that have been enough standalone evidence to make Banning think that he, Terry, had a part in her death? Not too sure about that, but it did make for interesting dialogue at the University lecture hall. One part I really enjoyed was seeing that windbag Banning get embarrassed in front of the other law students when he challenged Terry to recall several key items--if the lady to his right was wearing perfume, if the guy to his left was wearing a necktie and what time was showing on the clock behind him--and Terry remembered it all perfectly. I loved how it showed a closeup of Terry's face when he was answering Banning's questions--he's a handsome guy and he does have beautiful eyes, after all! Banning came across as an arrogant know-it-all and Terry took him down a few pegs. It was very insightful when Terry accepted Banning's challenge to see how well he--as a police officer-- observed his surroundings, then turned the tables on Banning and embarrassed him in front of the whole class. That was great! It was interesting how he and his accomplice were able to get into Terry's apartment and steal items to frame him. I did like seeing the inside of Terry's apartment. That gives the viewers an inside look at his more personal side, especially in his bedroom, which is rarely, or never, seen. It was pretty obvious that someone was setting Terry up, what with his personal items just happening to show up randomly at various scenes of crime. Toward the end of the ep, (in the scene at the University), seeing the defeated look on Banning's face when Terry told him that he wasn't a police officer at the time of the rally 2 years prior, was priceless. Overall, this storyline was ok, not one of the best, but certainly worth watching.

Revenge of the nerds

This one is about a couple of college punks who have a vendetta against officer Webster because they think he was involved in killing the sister of one of the punks.

Most of the episode focuses on these two college dopes and their exploits and their taunting of Webster and it's all very unimpressive and a real bore and Banning's cockiness and overacting is really aggravating.

Danko is barely even in this one and Owens only has a small role as it's mostly about Webster and these two college dorks. Jill isn't even in this one at all, which is a rarity.

We get a rare look at Webster's apartment in this one. I don't think it's ever been shown before.

There are a few good action scenes but beyond that everything else is slop.

This is the worst episode of season three so far and isn't even in the same league as the first four episodes of the season. It's a real stinker.
