Review/Synopsis: That’s not "Happiness" to see him... Jimmy Flynn about-faced upon sight of Washington Inspector Bob Cooper (Dylan Baker). Lighting up the capital "C" in creep during a swanky lunch, Cooper simultaneously felt up Sarah’s leg and dangled career opportunities at her. Jimmy has fine instincts. Not so much can be said for kamikaze cop Stenzal other than his punch drunk heart was sort of in the right place. I mean, we all know how everybody worships at the altar of Det. Mooney, obviously when he’s mouthing at a bar on account of this thorn in his side Klein, somebody’s going to put their brain on the after burner and plant H on the suspect. So Mike had to spend the day fixing that mess all the while his mind was fixed on his sis suffering through Lou Gerig’s disease. Do they make blue collar superhero capes? Travel over to the dark side into a dingy seemingly always closed bar and you’ll find Terry Maddock- surprise, surprise- indulging in a libation or five and meeting up with a plumber about a certain caseload of money. Your average ordinary pulpy fiction in the life of tale until Terry put up a fuss over his glorified hit man duty, this isn’t in his plans for movin’ on up. Meanwhile, Eagle-eye Trout was figuring these L.S. initials on Klein’s watch looked good for- well, something. Smart guy was right, Lawrence Stark may as well be pumping through Will Preecher’s veins the way he prompted a field trip to a heart fundraiser. With Will and Teddy in proper GQ tow, Sarah dolled up nicely for her date with Cooper, but things are murky what with Bob in one ear telling her Preecher is volatile, and the local bosses telling her to watch Cooper, ugh! Luckily, kismetly swamped Jimmy beeped her well before nightcap time. Their mission: successfully dismantle the illegal cam at Maddock’s and avoid on the job intimacy. Sadly successful on both counts. Romance fanatics never fear however, now that Sarah, and Jimmy’s assistant Sandra Reynolds are becoming fast friends, their mutual crush on Flynn will get all the more tangled. Like a moth to a flame (as Janet says) Preecher was drawn to Hitchcockian (close enough to a word) goddess Joan Kellogg who just so happens to pal around with Stark’s fiance. Meanwhile Stark’s hired gun Maddock was stalking his prey, but when it came right down to it he let the jittery heart attack waiting to happen (Howard Klein) get away. After all, what epitome of cool would ever let anyone else tell him what to do? Just one glimpse of Chris Scott and this one might’ve been a dime.
