Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Michael’s friend Bill asks for the spy’s help in freeing his daughter from a prostitution ring. Meanwhile, Michael dodges multiple assassination attempts.
Our Take
This one splits its attention between a rescue case and Michael getting hunted, and the case half is stronger. The villain’s whole operation feels a bit too easy to crack, but the assassination attempts give the episode real tension and let Michael show off some clever improvisation. A solid hour, even if it never quite becomes more than that.
