    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      David Soul was "romantically linked" for many years to recurring guest star (and singer) Lynne Marta. However, when he filmed this, he was married to another recurring S&H guest star, Karen Carlson. It is unclear if these relationships were overlapping, but it would appear so.
    • Goofs
      During the drug deal at Danner's Mansion, Hutch knocks Danner, Connie, and a bodyguard into the pool. However, when Connie tries to flee after being knocked into the pool , his clothes are completely dry when he is tackled by Hutch.
