    Robbins Romance

    Dan falls for defense attorney Susan Harper, who is defending a client he is sure is guilty.

    A very good Season 5 episode, rare chance for Inspector Robbins to have his own story. Linda Kelsey (soon to be Billie on Lou Grant) gives a good performance as Susan. She and Dan have some funny banter. The show begins with a burglar in a ski mask killing a woman in her apartment. The story takes a shocking turn at the middle.
