In stark contrast with Officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner), fellow officer Ed Wells (Gary Crosby) has no time for "teamwork" with his partner Officer Brady (Hank Brandt); indeed, Ed prides himself on the fact that he and Brandt choose to work independently. This attitude proves disastrous when Wells runs up against a well-armed homeowner who mistakes the officer for a burglar. Perhaps coincidentally, this episode represents a rally of "second-generation" Hollywood talent: in addition to semiregular Gary Crosby, who of course was the son of Bing Crosby, the supporting cast features Deanna Martin, the daughter of Dean Martin. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Paramedic John Gage (Randolph Mantooth) falls in love with Valerie (Michele Noval) a beautiful hit-and-run victim who is harboring a few secrets. Elsewhere, a belly dancer (Barbara Nichols) consumes one too many diet pills, a cache of improperly stored gasoline causes tragedy, two of the paramedics are trapped on an apartment ledge, and a child bites a dog (which promptly bites back). Look for a pre-CHiPs Erik Estrada in this episode, written by series regular Michael Norell (Captain Stanley). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
