Dale Robinette. Wonderful episode, which inverts key elements of the show’s status quo: Angel an influential power-player? Chapman working with Rockford?!! Coupled with the fact that (recently-promoted) Becker is now a lieutenant and you have an episode that feels like a lot has changed in Jim’s world.
The story-of-the-week is strong: A crime with a surprising murder at the mid-point.
The villains don’t get much screentime, but they get enough so that there is considerable satisfaction is seeing Jim methodically and cleverly track them down. And get them arrested.
Highlight of the episode? Any/All of the scenes with Jim and Chapman. Hilarious. James Luisi is on top form.
