The Angels are enjoying an off day at the beach at Kris's house when a phone call from Charlie lures them to a Mexican island. Problem was that the call was fake. Kris was duped and she should have known better than to just demand they drop everything before checking in with Bosley. I like that they didn't gloss over the guilt she felt later on in the show.
A man named Wilson boats them to Diablo Island and quickly abandons them, taking their guns and other possessions. The Angels soon discover that the island is a game preserve full of dangerous big cats and that they are in for a fight to stay alive. They're also being hunted by humans, with an old enemy of Charlie's the mastermind.
Lloyd Bochner plays Malcom Case, someone Charlie had imprisoned years earlier. Bochner previously played a bad guy in season 3's Angels Belong in Heaven, and was best known for being Mr Colby on Dynasty. He's joined by LQ Jones as Case's henchman Burdette. Jones previously played an evil sergeant in season 1's Bullseye, and played a more sympathetic character in Angels in the Backfield. LQ just has one of those evil mustaches.
The majority of the episode is of the Angels figuring out how to survive without food, water, or weapons. The interpersonal scenes between them are well done, with new Angel Tiffany starting to bond with Kelly and Kris. There is an unbelievable moment or two, the biggest being when Kelly and Kris set traps for Case, Burdette, and Wilson. Kris claimed she learned this skill by watching TV shows, but of course that's absurd. And when they fell a tree onto Burdette and kill him, well, it defies all logic how a pair of 105lb Angels could have devised such a massively heavy and cumbersome snare. Despite the physics-defying feats, it's a fun adventure episode taking the Angels out of their L. A. comfort zone.
