Tragedy hits close to the home of SIU!

Warning: Spoilers
There is a serial prowler terrorizing women in the city by the bay. Nash and the entire team of the SIU is on it! They have many clues, including a disreputable internet journalist/blogger that the prowler is sending film of his misadventures! Nash puts the squeeze on the sleazy reporter and it leads to a suspect.

Innocently enough, Michele Chan (Played by the beautiful Kelly Hu) is called home by the superintendent of her building regarding a water leak. The prowler is waiting for her! Michele is gone too long and they suspect bad news.

Upon entering Micheles apartment, they find her unconscious on her floor with the prowler baiting Nash, Harvey, Joe, and Evan. A hot firefight ensues and Nash risks life and limb to drag Michele's lifeless body out of harms way! In spite of Nashs CPR on Michele, she is gone!

Don and the rest of the cast show superb tenderness in the passing of their teammate.

I am not sure why Kelly Hu was taken off the show; she was a great asset and a beautiful woman!

Does anyone know why Kelly Hu was killed of the show???

Spoiler Alert - Why does a Cast Member leave the show?
FloridaFred11 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
A really good episode that is the final episode for actress Kelly Hu. Lots of emotion in the closing scenes, especially with Harvey and his new dog, and with Nash. The flowers from Michelle arrive right on time to close out the show.

Many have questioned "Why did the producers kill off character Michelle Chan? The reason was obvious... they had already cast her in their new show, "Martial Law".

That cop show premiered at almost exactly the same time that Kelly Hu was written out of "Nash Bridges". Notice the producers and the writers for both Nash Bridges and Martial Law are the same people (Carlton Cuse, et al).

Nash takes out the bad man: The writers did a good job of dispensing Justice when the Prowler finally gets cornered. Nash Bridges proclaims, "You're not going to jail, you're going to Hell!" followed by the sound of gunfire as the screen goes dark. Well done, the viewers will understandably be upset over pretty Inspector Chan getting murdered; they can take solace in knowing that Nash blew away the Bad Guy.
