This is one of those episodes that clearly state the genius of this show: the friendship and the emotions of Starsky & Hutch. It is probably the most emotional episode. I enjoy it a lot even though it is not my favorite one.
But, one of my favorite scenes is in this episode, when Hutch freezes in a shootout.
Though I have to say, that the most emotional part here is presented by Starsky. His scene with Gillian is more emotional than all the scenes between Hutch and Gillian, which are not many. Even though Hutch is the one involved with Gillian, his emotions don't hold a candle to Starsky's performance, including the shootout scene, the scene where Starsky finds out and the one where he confronts Gillian. Starsky is brilliant in this episode.
There is one mistake though. Gillian gives back the keys to her apartment to Mrs Grossman and then returns to her apartment to pack her bags. How did she get in? Why didn't she pack before?
