Poker & Weather Forecasts

Four Yuppie-type guys are playing poker when one of them, the guest of the night, is caught "dealing seconds" (cheating). The other three guys beat the crap out of him and kick him out. He rings the doorbell moments later. One of the players looks through the peephole to see if it's the cheater and gets blown away by a shotgun blast. Mac, Stella, Flack and Lyndsay are on this one, the major story of the night. It gets really interesting when its discovered the man they thought did the killing says he didn't do it, and he's apparently right. Then who did?

In the second story, Sheldon and Danny are in Stawberry Fields in Central Park where the body of a television weather-girl at Channel 8 News is lying dead. What happened and who killed her? Even though she has a big gash in her head, with a mysterious piece of glass embedded, the medical examiner surprises the guys by telling them the woman died by drowning. More surprises follow in this case - big surprises.

Overall, another very good show and another example of why I think so highly of this program.
