The three reviews already in place as I pen this very well describe this episode. But as I continue a rather fast paced linear progression through the entire series (extended bed rest from an illness), as you can tell from the dates of a few reviews submitted, I keep waiting for season 6 to fall apart, due to the reasons the regular reviewers have noted... but it really hasn't yet.
Just a bit of spoiler but not too much.... This episode in particular is very memorable. I would not say it is a hall of fame Rockford Files installment, but only because it is not a standard issue episode in the typical style of the show. But that is something to be thankful for! We get to see Jim really show another side of himself, while still remaining Rockford. Garner is paired with the stunning Kathryn Harrold once again, and it's a perfect mating in that each actor turns in an unforgettable performance. Guys, if you have a lady who is a bit reluctant to watch a Rockford Files episode this is a perfect one try on her. This is a love story, well told, and includes a sprinkling of the misery we have all experienced in the world of love. In a true 'movie quality' performance, our disbelief is fully suspended as we feel the tender heartbreak these two human beings iterate through as the episode proceeds.
The Buddhists say that everything is temporary, and this platitude is exemplified on many levels here. As Jim and Megan prepare to part company, we the audience also prepare ourselves for the end of this timeless series.
Thanx to all the actors, writers and production staff who brought this great series to life for 6 years!
