It's Just the Same Old Obvious Story ***

When a union organizer is shot to death, attention is immediately focused on the mob as well as the union hierarchy. The victim had been an informant for the D.A. and Erin Regan has guilt feelings regarding what has occurred.

That being said, the victim's wife lashes out at Regan at every opportunity. She blames her for what has happened to her husband.

You don't have to have a Ph.D to see where this episode is going. It's the only story of affairs, affairs and other acts of adultery.

A sidebar story is also good, but too short. A video is snapped of a police officer assaulting an elderly man. The guy who shot the video is obviously anti-cop and Frank Regan fixes him but good. This segment needed to be developed more since the media plays these things up and it causes resentment among the public.
