This is an average episode to me so I don't really have much to offer in my review. I did learn why Gus kept calling Kimble "Hotshot" throughout the episode though.
At first it confused me why he kept calling him that because Kimble's quiet demeanor doesn't make one think of a "hotshot". But through the powers of Google I discovered that Hotshot is actually a trucking term. Here's what I found:
"Hotshot drivers' primary job duty is to carry loads and make deliveries at an expedited rate. Drivers may also perform the following duties for their job: Load and unload cargo onto trucks for a client. Keep records of cargo and mileage."
I haven't seen anyone else here mention the nickname so maybe i'm the only dork that never knew what a hotshot was in regard to trucking. But if there's any other dorks out there like me who were wondering too, I hope this clears up why Kimble was constantly being called that.
Every time Gus said it, I kept picturing a boastful person and wondered why he would think that about Kimble. Now I know lol. I enjoyed Jack Klugman's performance here as he was a very good and likable actor and the final scene with the well deserved spanking from Kimble provided a rare laugh out loud moment in the series.
