A man is shot down and killed while apparently trying to change a tire. In the course of the detectives' investigation, a young man named Mike Bodak (Frank John Hughes) indicates that he'd come to the victim's assistance just before the shooting.

A double murder is at the center of this episode. The principal suspect is Steve Smith (Eddie Malavarca), a young alcoholic whose family once lived in the victims' house. Unfortunately, Smith has already "testified," after a fashion, in front of his local AA group -- and his words may not be admissible evidence in court. Ultimately, the solution hinges upon the fractious relationship between Smith and his biological mother, Anne Bartlett (Fran Brill). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this concluding episode of a two-part story, George Jefferson (Sherman Hemsley), with the help of several new "good buddies," manages to get his extremely pregnant daughter-in-law, Jenny (Berlinda Tolbert), to the maternity hospital just in time. Jenny's husband, Lionel (Mike Evans), his move to Chicago still pending, rushes back to New York to be by her side when the baby arrives. As the in-laws gather in the waiting room, a perplexing question arises: Since Lionel is black, and Jenny is the product of an interracial marriage, exactly what color will the baby be? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

There is a rapist on the loose in Los Angeles, and Quincy (Jack Klugman) is fairly certain of the man's identity. Unfortunately, some potentially damning evidence has been destroyed while the most recent victim was being treated at an E.R. Even so, Quincy turns up the heat on the most likely suspect--who exacts a terrible revenge upon Carol Bowen (Adrienne Barbeau), a rape counselor who happens to be one of Quincy's closest friends. This is the final episode of Quincy, M.E.'s second season. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
