The fruit fell VERY far from the tree in this case!

Kimble is working as a supervisor at a citrus ranch. Early into the episode, the owner is killed in an accident and the workers are obviously worried. Why? Because the man's son would be coming to run the place and he truly is a sociopath. In the past, he apparently killed a Mexican-American girl due to his irresponsible behaviors and the family fortune, in essence, bailed him out and he SHOULD have gone to prison! When he arrives, it's obvious that the young man hasn't learned anything from his experiences and he's still a malevolent little jerk!

What makes this an outstanding episode is what they did with this basic plot. Extremely well written and filled with irony and has a VERY satisfying ending where the jerk ends up getting his comeuppance...and then some!
