I always looked at this episode as the last episode with the format it had when the series started. After this episode, Jim Corrigan would be added to the cast and Stacey would be riding on the streets. Also this episode would be the last we would see of Fran. Another actress would play his wife in a season 5 episode, but it was totally different from the chemistry Hooker had with this Fran.
The story here revolves around a father and his two sons and a daughter. Hooker and Romano chase them after a robbery and Hooker shoots the dad. Romano catches the girl. The two sons plan to get their dad out the hospital before he is taken to jail. A couple of things of interest I noticed while viewing this episode. Hooker and Romano break into the motel where the crooks were staying and they find the plans to the hospital. The motel is the same motel where Hooker would end up living most of the rest of the series. Also the little girl Stacey visits in the hospital would become the girl who played Hooker's daughter later in the series. She is a great little actress who would later become the eldest daughter on the western "Paradise".
Back to the episode. Stacey is visiting the little girl at the same time the crooks arrive. Also Fran is working on the same level where there father is. As they go ahead with their plan, they find out Stacey is a cop and they hold Stacey and Fran at gun point as Hooker and Ramano arrive. Stacey looks gorgeous in her tight pants, leather boots and a lavender top. This is maybe the first episode where Stacey lost the baby fat around her face and she really looked even more beautiful than in previous episodes.
SWAT comes in to help as Captain Sheridan arrives. The little girl needs surgery so they need to come up with a plan. Hooker and SWAT disagree on the plan. Hooker and the crooks talk a deal and we get a lot of close up's of Stacey's beautiful face during this time. Stacey agrees to a search before she can visit the little girl again. She starts to unbutton her top, but it does not go very far. The other son interrupts to tell him their dad is conscious. If it was me, I would tell him to wait until Stacey finished taking off her top! Hooker is allowed to bring down the little girl. SWAT decides to take action. It almost gets Hooker killed, but he makes it out OK. Hooker comes up with another plan to get them out. He gets the daughter to help him and they have a shootout and win the battle. There is a really nice scene with Hooker, Stacey and the little girl at the end.
It's not hard to see why it only took four more episodes until we get to see Heather Locklear in her sexiest episode, "Carnal Express". She always looked so pretty in and out of her cop clothes. I am sure they were looking to boost the ratings by giving her a part of a dancer where she wore a skimpy outfit for half the episode. Heather with always have a special place for the males who grew up in the 80's. Nobody ever had a prettier face.
