The relationship between Chief Gillespie and Virgil Tibbs has not always been smooth sailing in the first few seasons. But when Howard Rollins gets into trouble in Philadelphia Carroll O'Connor is on his way north.
What Virgil's discovered is there's a death squad operating in Philadelphia's Police Department just
like Dirty Harry Callahan had to deal with in Magnum Force. These people as
they've demonstrated will do whatever it takes to protect their anonymity including murdering their own.
In the meantime Althea back in Sparta is getting closer and closer to delivery
and she wants Rollins back, but Alan Autry might have to pinch hit for the
Lamaze delivery, something he ain't looking forward to.
As for the Philly death squad, think Magnum Force.
