A horrible start to season four

This one is about Ryker trying to help out a criminal's young son.

This is a terrible episode as it focuses mostly on the kid and on Ryker's attempts to help him and not much on the rookies, and if that wasn't bad enough, the kid is a brat, is a dreadful actor and his hair is all messed up.

Kate Jackson got her hair cut between seasons and I don't like the new look. It looked better when it was longer.

There are no chases but there are a couple of shootouts that are worth seeing but beyond that this one is a flop as the focus is almost entirely on the kid and I didn't care about him or his problems.

Season four is off to a bad start.
