Storyline

Jimmy Lynch is angry because his older brother, who was injured as a result of an off duty fire rescue, is denied benefits by the city. At the same time, Mayor Tyler is embroiled in a political scandal that he denies all previous knowledge of. Jimmy begins painting "Tyler Knew, Turk 182" as an embarrassment to the mayor. The mayor is furious at this grafitti appearing all over the city and orders the police to find the artist. Jimmy's "Turk 182" spraypaints continue to appear. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>

Trivia

In one of the hospital Security Ward scenes, where the patients have a pick up game of basketball going on while Terence is in his body cast, 'Robert Urich''s character makes the comment that Larry Bird doesn't do sixty percent success with his free throws. That same year, in the Premiere Episode "Promised Land" and during at least the opening credits of the show's first season, his title character from "Spenser: For Hire" would look on as Larry Bird and the Celtics played a Game at Boston Garden.
