This episode concerns the birth of a godson for Kookie. But what brings the Bailey&Spencer firm into things professionally is the disappearance of Robert Hogan the baby's father. Hogan got caught taking a snooze in the hospital waiting room and now a real crime Godfather recognizes him as someone he's looked to settle a score with for years. Bernard Fein sends a couple of his guys making inquiries.
Hogan has been on the run for years, in fact the name he was married under and who Edd Byrnes knows him by is gone. It's up to Roger Smith to find him.
A lot of what drives this episode is Fein's performance. Just the sight and thought of Hogan drives him into a rage. One scary dude.
Complementing Fein is that of future Star Trek Yeoman Janice Rand Grace Lee Whitney's performance as Fein's moll. Whitney in her best Veda Ann Borg imitation gives the comic relief for this story.
Whitney and Fein are worth watching here.
