This week, we meet TJ Hooker (William Shatner) and his partner Vince Romano (Adrian Zmed) as they try to track down a dangerous, knife-wielding attacker (Gary Frank) targeting women in their territory. With embedded journalist Tracy Hill (Karen Carlson) making their lives more difficult, can Hooker and Romano track down their man, or will their old-school methods prove inadequate?
This episode was directed by Cliff Bole. The writer was Rick Husky.
