When a knock on the head leaves Cherif concussed, he winds up benefitting from the main symptom - hallucinating Huggy Bear from his beloved Starsky and Hutch. In character, Antonio Fargas chatters incessantly, yet constructively with his devoted fan, to the consternation of all the others who aren't seeing and hearing him.
It's a perfect culmination of all Cherif's references to old TV series' plots and characters throughout his seasons of sleuthing, relying on them for his off-the-wall strategies for catching killers. Fargas is as cool now as he was 40 years ago, making this the funniest, most organically in-character, episode to date.
