Curtis (Roger R. Cross) and Driscoll (Alberta Watson) could both be in trouble over the whole Marianne (Aisha Tyler) debacle. They agree to cover each other with Division. Powell is dead, Marianne is unconscious, and the nuclear power plant at San Gabriel Island is on the verge of going critical. Edgar (Louis Lombardi) is concerned about his wheelchair-bound mother, who lives nearby and has no way to evacuate. While Behrooz (Jonathan Ahdout) goes to the local hospital, where his uncle, Naseem (Michael Benyaer), is a doctor, to try to get his mother some pain medication, Edgar is able to locate a cell phone that Powell called before he was shot, and that's how Jack and Tony are able to find Dina (Shohreh Aghdashloo), who is hiding out in a hotel room. Knowing Dina's weak spot, Jack tells Dina that Behrooz will get a full pardon and government protection if she leads them to the override device. She agrees, and calls Behrooz at the hospital to tell him to wait there for her and the CTU team. But Naseem, suspicious about Behrooz's request for meds, calls Navi (Nestor Serrano), who tells the doctor that Behrooz is on drugs, and to keep him at the hospital until Navi arrives. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

As New Year's Eve of 1999 approaches, a woman named Angela (Ann-Margret) dreads the inevitable moment that her longtime boyfriend Nick (James Read) intends to propose marriage. Not only is Angela pathologically incapable of making a commitment, but she also is unable to let go of her painful past. Posing as employees at a New Year's party, Monica (Roma Downey) and Andrew (John Dye) do their best to help Angela shed her past and look forward confidentally to her future--but first she is required to remember a promise made to her father made way back in 1955, and to honor that promise no later than January 1, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Made for television, the two-part, four-hour Love, Honor and Obey: The Last Mafia Marriage is the true story of "mob wife" Rosalie Profaci Bonanno, here played by Nancy McKeon. Inasmuch as the teleplay is based on Ms. Bonanno's memoirs, it is perhaps understandable that she casts herself as an innocent bystander in the ongoing saga of Mafia activity in the United States, totally ignorant (at least at first) as to how her father Joe Profaci (Tomas Milian) and his chief mob rival Joseph Bonanno (Ben Gazzara) support themselves and their families. It is further suggested that Rosalie is completely in the dark concerning the mob connections of her husband Bill (Eric Roberts), Joe Bonanno's son; after all, how could anything be amiss when the Pope Himself calls to congratulate the bride and groom? Ultimately Rosalie sees the light when her husband enters a war against opposing mob families, and is subsequently thrown in prison. The rest of the story chronicles how Rosalie struggles to escape the onus of "Mafia princess", seeking out honest, mainstream work to take care of herself and her children. Love, Honor and Obey: The Last Mafia Marriage originally aired Mary 23 and 25, 1993 on CBS. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
