An interesting ending
tforbes-227 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The final first-run episode ever to air for this series involves Lewis Erskine and Chris Daniels trying to take an escapee in the desert, with the latter falling off a ledge. The story involves keeping Daniels alive as well as dealing with their prisoner.

What we have is a character study that is a contrast to so many of the other FBI stories. It's not my first choice for a series finale, but that's how it goes.

What's prophetic is that, in Act II, Chris Daniels (played by Shelly Novack) mentions the the idea that he might end up dying so soon. Eerily, Mr. Novack would die of heart trouble four years after this airing.

The episode benefits from good casting, of course, with Julie Gregg, Jon Cypher and Dabney Coleman. Overall, a good production, but not my choice for the final episode of the series.

And who would have thought Cypher would later star on Hill Street Blues. But I would agree with the other reviewer - I would have preferred a different series finale.
