Charlie moves over to LAPD and begins to analyze a case, doing his thing. Meanwhile, the shared investigation of a mass murder brings the two entities into the plot. Charlie tries again to talk to MacGowan but the guy is after Don. There is a little Javert here. I will wait to the end of time to put him in prison. But there is something rotten in LA. Colby shows his lack of common sense again.

This episode is very good much like most of the episodes in this series, However, Every once and again they give a nod to some unnamed Group. Weather it was written in deliberate or it was added later after the some "HEAD" or executive gets the note pen out. Specifically they frequently make mention of how much money the collage brings in from government contracts. Then to connect that with the bragging they do about how California has made so many advancements in the way of law enforcement over the years, and yet they fail to mention how much corruption and excessive force has been highlighted from the LAPD in particular. They also go on to mention how the D. A. R. E. program started in California. By now this series is getting old so I have the benefit of time in my pocket. In recent years it has come out (although kept quiet) that the DARE program was not started to keep kids off of drugs, in fact is was designed to keep drugs in the front of kids minds with how curious they are. It is no surprise that DARE started right before the crack epidemic started. I realize that this has gone off the main focus of the episode but I wonder if the studio that put the show out was also getting fat from the government every time some useless point like this was put into an episode. It does not detract from the fact that episode, and the series as a whole I very well done. I wonder how different the show would have been if it had been if the morals and values were the same now as they were in, say, 1945. I will keep watching, I hope everyone else does too.

We knew a dirty cop would be involved from the beginning because there have been so many episodes like that on this show.

Colby used to be one of my favorites but this episode soured him. You mean to tell me that a man who managed to be a triple agent for years couldn't resist a witness? Not likely. It was gross.

Here we go, an out of work actor is added to a series to cast suspicion on the eppes brothers...you can tell from the onset that carradine has his own axe to grind...its not even hidden....one can only surmise that he snubbed by don somewhere along the way that prevented his promotion so he's out for revenge...are you ready for the blow back ?
