Quite Well-Written and Complex for This Show

This is one of the more complex, better-written episodes of the season. The plot is intricate and there is plenty going on here - money laundering, drugs, mob ties, and the most bumbling Lone Avenger you've ever seen - he's so pathetic you kind of feel sorry for him -- all centered around a used car lot, complete with a cheesy TV spokesman, played well by Larry Blyden. The role comes off as a stereotype but gets deeper as the episode progresses.

Having only known Ruta Lee from her comedic roles, seeing her in this as Blyden's long-suffering wife was a revelation. When given the chance, she could pull of drama just as well - she comes off like a flashier Beverly Garland. One thing I found kind of odd was one of Blyden's lines to Ruta: "You know, I never cheated on you". So, do you want a reward??

This is a solid effort worth seeing if you want to check out one of Season 4's better episodes.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
