Interesting, But Almost Too Much To Follow

Roller Derby? Wow, I thought that went out 30 years ago. At any rate, one of the "Manhattan Minx" skaters is pummeled by the opposition in a game and is killed. Perhaps one of the skaters stomped on her with her skates. Mac, Flack and Lyndsay investigate these tough babes from the rink to find out what and why. What really happened to the skater - and who did it - is a bit a surprise,

In the second story, a young dead man is found rolled up in a nice carpet. This is another segment in which all is not how it seems at first. Stella and Danny wind up being surprised at this outcome, too. In fact, this has a very bizarre conclusion.

Some of these shows, as this one is, are tough to follow. Things happen so fast, different conclusions come rapidly and it's tough to comprehend everything. One hint: pay attention to the female suspects.
