Ryker gets trashed and others get thrashed
pkfloydmh14 September 2021
This one is about an old neighborhood that Ryker used to patrol that has now been taken over by a protection racket and Ryker decides to go back out on the beat to try to break it up.

Danko is assigned as Ryker's partner and he's understandably horrified when he learns this since he now has to spend all day every day with that detestable dimwit.

This one mostly focuses on Ryker, but despite that, this is still an entertaining episode because of Vic, who's constantly trashing and taunting Ryker and I loved every minute of it. I mean, this guy is awesome. What a breath of fresh air he is. I just loved him. He even wanted to fight Ryker and of course Ryker being the cowardly weasel he is backed down from the fight like a feckless wimp. Yeah, sure, he can talk the talk but he can't walk the walk.

Owens got a haircut and his hair is looking much better now. It's straight and combed very nicely and he's looking much more professional now. He's been assigned to the dreaded desk duty and is depressed over it, but he should look on the bright side - at least he wasn't chosen to be Ryker's partner.

The hospital scenes are back and Jill has plenty to do as a couple of people take brutal beatings.

There's a nice shootout in a parking garage at the end but no car chases, which is rare.

So even though it focuses on Ryker, this one is still really good because of Vic and also the shootout at the end.
