Nice episode

Warning: Spoilers
Furillo (a terrific Daniel J. Travanti) tries to convince Martinez (sharply played by Trinidad Silva) to help him bust a corrupt judge suspected of accepting payoffs. Belker (a fine Bruce Weitz) works undercover running a lunch wagon. Bates (sturdy Betty Thomas) gets paired with new partner McBride (an excellent Lindsay Crouse). Hunter (a hysterically pompous James Sikking) deals with a rival for Prunella (the delightful Elizabeth Huddle Nyberg) in the unlikely form of Jaggawala (an amusing turn by Manu Topou). Buntz (the fantastic Dennis Frantz) tries to help his wayward ex-partner Donahue (a solid performance by David Crowley) go straight.

It's a hoot to see Hunter dealing with the unexpected intrusion of Jaggawala. Buntz has a good confrontation with the smitten Dolan (sweet Joan Sweeny) and winds up going on a date with her. Moreover, new intercom issues complicate the legality of the Martinez bust, plus it's sad to see poor Martinez get played and wind up with his back against the wall.

Lunch With Belker
Hitchcoc30 July 2021
Belker is undercover, running a loan shark lunch counter. But he has a rival across the way. Buntz is asked by a former partner, whom we've met before, to look into some charges on his record. But things take a bad turn. Howard's British woman is being pursued by some islander she accidentally married in a goofy ceremony. And Dolan, that spacey former secretary, returns. Jesus wears a wire to prove himself and to avoid a criminal record.
