A woman jumps to her death from a building because of the disfigurement caused by a botched cosmetic surgery operation. Quincy does the autopsy and finds the scars on her face. He questions the grieving husband who talks about the doctor who did it. When Quincy goes to the doctor he pretty much blows Quincy off when he mentions his concerns about his face peels on women of olive skin color who are not candidates for the operation. The doctor is just fine with his profitable assembly line and will not change his ways at all.
It also comes out that the doctor is board certified, not in surgery but in gynecology. In spite of another victim coming forward, nothing seems like it will happen until a third appears. The difference with the third is that she is a former Hollywood star from the 40s and 50s, and still has tons of fans. But for that very reason she will not come forward and destroy her fans' image of her. Complications ensue.
I saw this episode in its original run, and not being into classic film at the time I of course didn't recognize Jane Greer playing the disfigured star of yesteryear. Those are actual pictures of her strewn about her chamber of solitude, as well as clips from her films back in the day.
This is not exactly one of Quincy's issue episodes, as he is after one specific bad actor in the medical community, but it does stretch past the solving of an individual case as has been the tradition on Quincy up to this point, so it is a signpost to the future of the show.
