The Rookies: A Farewell Tree from Marly (1973)
Season 1, Episode 22
Tyne Daly's First Appearance In The Series
11 January 2019
Chad Bennett is a spoiled rich kid who chases an old drunk in the parking lot with a sports car. The man dies of a heart attack. The only witness is Marly Devon, a mentally handicapped young woman.

An excellent episode, one of the best. It is made great by the touching performance of Daly as Marly Devon. Daly at the time was married to series star Georg Stanford Brown. It seems that Marly is being treated with an experimental medicine which helps her mental capacity, similar to the plot of the Cliff Robertson film "Charly".
