Played for laughs and there are plenty of them in this one, one of the best in the last season of a wonderful series. Great reprised performances by Tom Selleck as Lance White, as perfect as always, James Whitmore, Jr. As Freddie Beamer, the penultimate nebbish and Simon Oakland as the overbearing Vern St. Cloud. Rockford does his best but comes up short in this one, perhaps Beamer's incompetence has affected his abilities. This episode has all the elements, skillfully presented, that made The Rockford Files so good in its day and still enjoyable and worth watching forty-four years later. Erica Hagen as the ridiculously named hypnotist Brandy Alexander adds to the fun. Try to not get as distracted by her as Beamer did. Definitely worth a watch.
