It's Not Always Fair

As is usually the case, we have some interesting plot events. Belker has finally be rejected by Robin and shortly after that is evicted from his apartment. Howard buys a used RV and finds it is in bad need of repairs. Garrett Morris plays an edgy tire thief who is caught stealing the tire and gets indignant when caught. Patsy goes undercover, allowing that orthodontist to sexually assault her while J. D. records with a telephoto lens. Of course, he ends up showing this tape to other guys. A more critical case involve a man with a checkered past having his family killed by a hit and run driver. The man who killed them is a person with numerous DUI's. But there is a sad end to this. Also, Joyce is offered a big promotion.

My favorite episode

I know this isn't the most well-known or beloved episode of Hill Street, but it's by far my favorite. It's one of the most well-written and acted episodes of the series. They hit all these fascinating little character notes, they called back to previous story threads, they had laughs and some of the most powerful dramatic moments of the entire series. All in this one run-of-the-mill episode. Very rewarding viewing.
