Charlie's Angels
(The Movie/Pilot)
1976
Written and Produced by: Ivan Goff
Ben Roberts
Directed by: John Llewellyn Moxey
Starring: Kate Jackson as Sabrina Duncan
Farrah Fawcett-Majors as Jill Monroe
Jaclyn Smith as Kelly Garrett
David Doyle as John Bosley
David Ogden Stiers as Scott Woodville
John Forsythe as Charlie Towsend
The opening to the movie begins as the series does with different music.
Scenes of the angels at the police academy are shown and at work in the
police force. Then, the familiar scene of the three of them leaving the
police academy as the theme music begins and the title "CHARLIE'S ANGELS"
appears. Next, we see Sabrina riding a horse and going to answer her phone,
it's Charlie calling her to work. "Starring KATE JACKSON". Next, we see
Jill playing tennis and the phone rings and it's Charlie calling her to work.
"FARRAH FAWCETT-MAJORS". Then Kelly is getting out of the pool as the phone
rings - it's Charlie calling her to work. "JACLYN SMITH". Next, we see a
limo and "DAVID DOYLE as John Bosley" and "DAVID OGDEN STIERS as Scott
Woodville". The limo arrives at a white office building, different from the
normal office shown in the series. Woodville meets Bosley who is more of a
secretary and audio-visual technican. Woodville seems to be the brains.
Woodville tells the angels that only he can see Charlie.
The case is introduced: it centres around a vineyard and a missing man who
will soon be declared legally dead. Unless the man's daughter shows up, the
man's second wife, Rachel, will get everything.
Kelly arrives at the house on a motorcyle. [Some of the scenes from the
normal opening title sequence are from this movie]. Kelly shows up and
removes her helmet for two handy-men. She announces she is Janet, the long-
lost daughter. Right from the beginning, Beau tries to trip Janet (Kelly) up
but she has studied well.
Mr. Bancroft shows up and tries to prove Janet isn't who is says she is but
Kelly knows the details well. Kelly runs into a friend of Janet's, Aram
and he finds out that she is not Janet.
Beau adds a little extra something to Kelly's warm milk but Kelly doesn't drink
it. Beau plans on dumping her in the lake with cement around her. Woodville
shows up the house and tells Rachel that Janet is not who she says she is.
Woodville announces the real Janet will arrive tomorrow.
Kelly announces she is a fake and that they kidnapped Janet in order to get
the land.
Sabrina is playing the real Janet. Woodville tells Sabrina that he has to
tell her about Aram. Beau watches as they arrive.
Sabrina's room is bugged and the gang listens in. Bosley is playing a bird-
watcher and as someone who is trying to get Janet to sell the land to him so
that Charlie can come in with his equipment to extract something valuable.
Sabrina runs into Aram and she gives herself away. Aram agrees not to
tell anyone.
Janet gives the land to Rachel. Janet wants one thing: a bird sanctuary to
be set up to commemorate her father. Something to be left in its natural
state.
Beau finds out Bosley is not a bird watcher and confonts him. Bosley tells Beau
that he is working with very big people. Bosley talks. The land has oil
on it. That's why its so valuable.
Beau decides they have to get the land the oil is on before Janet does. Jill
plays the daughter of the man who owns the land. Hawkins is played by
Bosley. They tell Beau they have been offered $100,000 for the land by an
Arab. Beau offers $150,000 and then $200,000. Jill says she'll sell for
$250,000. Bancroft and Beau buy the land. But first, Beau has to get the body
of the old man out of the swamp first. Bancroft wants to know what is going
to be done about Kelly. Beau says she'll be taken care of later.
Beau goes looking for the body at night in the swamp. The angels all assemble
to make their catch.
Beau and the men dive to get the body so Woodville goes to call the police.
Someone knocks Woodville out.
Kelly is caught by one of Beau's men. He knows about Jill and Sabrina and
tells them to come to him or Kelly is dead. The man has the angels and he
tells Beau that he has the girls. Beau is not too impressed and decides that
they'll have to dig a cemetary. One of Beau's men is knocked out and they
go to see what happened. The boat with the body is set free and the angels
make their move. It was Woodville, who is caught again. Sabrina is caught
by one of the men but she turns the tables on him.
The police arrive so Beau tries to dump the body but the police put spotlights
on him. They find out Aram called the police and got them out there. They
find out Charlie called him and asked him to watch out for them.
At the end, Charlie reveals Janet was their client. Charlie congradulates
everyone, except Bosley and then finally Bosley. Charlie goes back to his
job at hand ... having a steam bath with a gorgeous girl.

When a female race car driver is killed during a race at a female-only
race track, the angels are called in to investigate. Bloody Mary seems
to be the main suspect along with her ex-boyfriend. Kelly is assigned to
check out the girl's parents. Sabrina is pegged to be the 'racer'. She
doesn't get off to very friendly relations with Bloody Mary either. The
race track is not making much money ... no one wants to see the racers.
The owner is worried about Sabrina and worried about anyone finding out
they rigged the other car to explode.
Jill and Bosley show up working as Brother John and his daughter. Brother
John is a messenger of the Lord. The angels find out some information
about the plans for an upcoming race. As would happen in the future, the
bad guys find out they know and decide to dispose of Jill. Jill manages
to outsmart them though. The angels figure out who did it but they still
don't know why. The only way to find out what's up is for Sabrina to race
in the race to Mexico, what Charlie had told her she wouldn't have to do.
Bosley figures out that the bad guys are using Bloody Mary to smuggle
diamonds across the Mexican border during the race.
Bloody Mary picks up diamonds but the angels are close behind and manage
to stop them before they can get too far. As a reward, Charlie gives
Sabrina a trophy to commemorate her first and last race. [TDC]

Dana Cameron (who they think looks like Kelly, and may have been played by
Jaclyn Smith for the few moments she was on screen) is strangled with a
doll. She worked for a designer and was having an affair with her boss,
who is married to a model (Michelle). Kelly and Jill try out as models and
naturally get the jobs, even though casting was the day before. Kelly and
Michelle get into a cat fight. Michelle is then killed. Then black model
Candy gets strangled in the parking garage, but lives. Jill is 24 years
old. Brandon sets up Heinz (who doesn't have any friends) to look like the
killer, but his suicide is disproved because he is Catholic. Brandon was

alabis for at least one of the murders.

As the show opens, a man is looking at a slide of Kelly on his wall as he
loads an automatic weapon. Meanwhile, Kelly and the man in her life attend
a female basketball game that is coached by Jill. Kelly and Alan discuss
marriage but Kelly isn't ready to trust yet. Kelly's would-be assassin is
waiting outside and fires several shots into Kelly's bedroom, just missing
her.
Charlie hears there may be an attempt on Kelly's life. Of course, they are
too late. The assassin listens in on the call. Kelly says they found a
cross from the same orphanage she was raised in. Kelly visits the
orphanage but she learns nothing. Sabrina's ex-husband, Bill, wants police
protection for her but she refuses. These two are still dating each other.
The assassin begins looking at photos of Jill. The angels decide to look
into the shoe angle (one of foot prints was heavier than the other). Kelly
is going to hide out in Burbank and doesn't know what to tell Alan. Jill
tells her team she is leaving for a few days. The assassin comes to the
gym and follows Jill. Once again, the assassin doesn't manage to kill
Jill.
Kelly tells Alan things are going too fast and Alan isn't too happy but
leaves anyway. The assassin is constructing something to attach to a home
water cooler tank. Bosley learns all of the angel's past enemies are still
in prison. He suggests a vacation but they all turn him down. They all
decide to stay at Sabrina's. The assassin arrives with the water bottle.
The old one isn't empty so he doesn't change it. Sabrina is not pleased
that the bottle wasn't changed so Jill and her decide to change it. Kelly
arrives at the building and suddenly there is an explosion. Jill comes to
the window and shouts "Oh god Kelly, she's dead. Sabrina's dead!"
A funeral is held for Sabrina. Meanwhile, dressed in a black veil, Sabrina
sits in the back of the room. The assassin talks to his employer and
apologizes for killing Sabrina. The employer is trying to get the angels
to go to the only place that they can hide. Sabrina visits her father to
prove she is still alive. Kelly gets a call from the assassin. Bosley
decides to move the angels. Kelly decides Charlie's place would be best.
Bosley doesn't like that but he is persuaded. Bosley drives the angels to
the house, speeding, so that no one can kill the angels! Charlie's mansion
is huge. Oh yeah, Charlie is in Chicago. The assassin arrives at the
house too. He tells his employer where the angels are. Sabrina gets the
name of the assassin from a man who funnels mercenaries. Sabrina goes to
check out the assassin and finds the man dead, in the closet. The angels
play games at Charlie's and they look for pictures of Charlie but Bosley
has cut out all photos of Charlie. Sabrina figures out the assassin wasn't
trying to kill them. Someone wants Charlie dead.
Bosley finds out who it is: Ronald Meeker. Meeker arrives at the mansion
to kill Charlie. Charlie arrives in town and heads for home. The angels
decide to high-jack a cab and beat Charlie home so that Meeker will try to
kill an empty cab. It works of course. When Charlie arrives home and sees
the angels there ... he takes off quickly! Charlie sells his house and
decides to move. [TDC]

Charlie's ex-wife has him take a case. George Anderson's daughter Brooke
is killed on the beach. She was working on a watergate-type story at
MoonShadows, a health resort. Mr. Paul Taranova had her killed to put a
stop to the story. Kelly poses as a magazine snoop. Jill and Kelly get
massages from Inga, Mr Taranova's massouse. The tennis pro at the resort
has Jill straighten out the pants of the dirty old men (his words).
Sabrina questions George (who is blind). It turns out that "George" is an
imposter (they kidnapped the real George) who sends a tail after Sabrina.
In the requisite car chase, he accidentally drives off a cliff, dying when
his car explodes on impact with the ground. Bosley chastises her for
scratching her second company car this month (the orange car). Paul T and
his wife have consecutive Social Security Numbers, even though he's twenty
years older. Bosley finds out that he turned state's evidence on syndicate
friends of his seven years ago. He and his wife were given plastic surgery
and new identities as part of the justice department's witness relocation
program.
Bosley doesn't want to play a "swishy designer" so this time Sabrina is
playing the designer and Bosley is the model. We find out that Bosley is
married. He complains to Jill in private that his wife packed brown shoes
with his tux. What does this say about all the women he's been scamming on
in other episodes? "A bath makes me very logical" --Jill to Bosley.
"Bosley, can we pass the market on the way home? I'm out of whip cream."
--Jill. Charlie is on his yacht. [OEH]

they've had enough dangerous stuff. Kelly is out on a 'date' that she
won't discuss with anyone. Kelly picks up Skip, a young boy at Pacific
Sanitarium, and they head to the amusement park. Kelly tells him a story
about a prince and a princess and about bringing gifts. Skip disappears
for a bit. Two men come out and bump into Skip. One of the men drops
their gun. The two men take off. Skip finds the gun. The villain
realizes Skip has the gun and goes after him but Kelly arrives so he takes
off. Skip points the gun at Kelly and she tells him it's a real gun and
he shoots her in the head. Skip drops the gun and runs off.
Kelly is rushed to the hospital and the others arrive. The angels don't
understand what happened. They wonder where Kelly's date is. The doctor
says they won't know if Kelly will make it for quite a while. A man's
body was found at the park near where Kelly was shot. Sabrina finds out
about the young boy. Jill finds out Skip was Kelly's date. They angels
learn Skip is autistic. The doctor says Skip might return home. Skip
hides out at a restaurant. The villains realize that they have to get rid
of the kid and the girl. The angels try to find out who Skip's mother
was. The guy they talk to wants the angels to pose for his magazine. The
angels pretend to be cops and the guy changes his tune. Skip steals some
sunflowers from the restaurant and takes off just as the angels arrive at
the same restaurant. Skip hitches a ride to the beach with a young girl

freaks out, her husband is dead. Kelly panics and leaves the hospital.
Skip sleeps at the park as the villains arrive. The police arrive with
the angels. Kelly arrives too. A fight ensues. Skip finally talks saying
"Kelly". Ricky is arrested while Frank is caught on a ride that spins

The felines at a bar are in the running for centrefold material. One of
the girls is selected. She is promply attacked and her hair removed. Then
she is killed. This is the second killing.
Tony Mann publishes "Feline" magazine and he has hired them. Jill gets to
be the centrefold undercover, or, rather, no cover! Sabrina moves in with
Tony as his woman. Tony's current girl is not pleased to see Sabrina, the
senior citizen. Kelly sings at the club ... or rather, lip syncs. Tony's
competitor shows up with his ex-girlfriend and they fight. Jill is
selected to be part of a magazine layout - with her clothes on. Erhard is
Tony's business manager who is involved in the killings. He is working
with Tony's rival. The photo shoot with Jill is on the tennis court.
Someone puts an orange ball in the tennis ball server. The orange ball
explodes when it hits Jill's racket.
Jill is shaken, but not injured. Tony offers Jill the centrefold. Someone
takes an imprint of Jill's key to the beach house. The lady in charge of
the club and the magazine takes Jill home and tells her to refuse the job
so that she doesn't end up dead. Kelly goes to Erhard's place to see if
she can uncover anything. Kelly finds some stuff in his date book as
Erhard returns home. Tony doesn't want to believe Dave Erhard has been
doing this to him. Tony's bed is rigged to kill him but Sabrina stops
him.
Kelly calls Erhard to arrange to meet him to give her money in exchange

apartment and Paula answers. The angels head to Paula's when she tells
them Jill isn't there. Jill is there though. Jill is tired so she goes
to bed. Paula tries to kill Jill as the angels arrive. Paula goes to

bald. She explains there was a car accident and she says her right side
and her hair were burnt off. Paula tries to jump off but the angels stop
her.

Title: Bullseye
Written by: Jeff Myrow
Directed by: Daniel Haller
Guest Starring: L.Q. Jones as Sgt. Billings; Robert Pine as Dr. Conlan;
Marla Pennington as Jenny Warren
Co-Starring: Peter Leeds as General Green; Kelly Sanders as Trainee;
Erin O'Rielly as Mary Jo Walker; Helen Lockwood as Sally Miller
Featuring: Nora Marlowe as Cicely; Jeanne Bates as Alice Clements;
Frank Geraci as Bartender; Betty Bridges as Cpl. Sedgewick
Two WAC recruits (Sally Miller and Mary Jo Walker) are studying to be
sharpshooters in the army at Fort Jameson. During practice, Mary Jo is
picked off with an M-16 by a professional gunman (Sgt Billings).
Jill is meditating at work. Sabrina talks Bosley into trying it. He is
chanting as Charlie's call comes in. Charlie thinks he sounds like a
bagpipe in heat. General Green (an old friend of Charlie's) wants the
angels to come in on the case. It's a small army base and all the MPs are
too well known to be able to go under cover.
Bosley goes down as a civilian researcher, which gives him access to
files). Sabrina goes in as a nurse. Kelly and Jill are recruits.
Jill finds out that everyone liked Mary Jo except the training Sgt
Billings, which is strange since they really got along for the first week
or two. Kelly sneaks into the Sgt's office while Jill distracts the guard.
All Kelly finds in his desk are deposit slips before Billings shows up.
Kelly fakes an injury so she can talk to Sabrina without drawing attention
to herself. Billings seems to be making $25,000 a month--much more than a
sgt should be making. Every time Mary Jo went to the hospital (which was
almost every morning) she saw the same doctor--a captain that Sabrina is
ga-ga over. She pumps him for information when they go out for drinks.
Billings shows up at the bar and he and the Captain don't seem very
friendly toward each other. Billings is drunk and beats up the bartender.
He joined the army after World War II, has been in both wars since, and
can't wait for another one.
Billings and Dr Conlan seem to be much more chummy in private. We find out
they're making big bucks together, but Conlan never wanted Walker killed,
even though she was about to expose them.
Billings sends a message to Kelly by giving her a defective gas mask when
they send all the girls into the gas chamber.
Bosley has General Green remove a picture of Charlie standing next to the
general before Sabrina shows up in his office.
We find out that Conlan has been buying up expired drugs and shipping them
out of the country to disaster areas. He has the medical supplies person
(which used to be Mary Jo, now is some blonde) cover up the records.
Kelly gets KP duty where she finds out that "edible garbage" is shipped out
to local farmers each day (and is the only thing to leave the base that
isn't inspected). She guesses that this is how Billings got rid of his
M-16. Bosley wades through hog slop in his suit at several farms in search
of the missing weapon.
Billings and Conlan plan to go AWOL for 30 years when too many people are
asking questions. Jill is searching Billings' office when he walks in. He
pulls a gun on her and uses her as a hostage when they go AWOL the next
morning. Conlan withdraws his and Billings' money from the bank and the
two meet at an old hanger. Billings gets greedy and shoots the doctor,
taking his money as well. He calls the General and says he'll release Jill
if he gets an airplane. Sabrina shoots the gun out of Billings' hand with
a rifle, but he manages to get to the plane anyway--just without Jill.
Sabrina gets in a jeep and out-runs the plane, cuts him off--sending the
plane into something that causes it to blow up on impact. The angels send
an ugly old military hag to Charlie (telling her that Charlie knows how to
have a good time) to get back at him for this assignment. She has a two
week pass and tells him that they won't have to leave his house. [OEH]

service, which is where the thieves work out of as well. Jill poses as a
hooker and is an expert skateborder. She befriends the UCLA hooker, whoi

Title: The Seance
Written by: Robert C Dennis
Directed by: George Brooks
A rich old lady has lost three jewels in three robberies. Actually, she
stole them herself under a trance and doesn't remember doing it. Madam
Dorian (Doris), her spiritual advisor would seem to be a prime suspect, no?
Kelly poses as the daughter of a rich oil tychoon, and is hypnotized by
Madam Dorian's assistant, Terrance. Kelly was afraid of being stuffed in a
closet as a child by Beemish, without her stuffed doll Lillibett. Beemish
was her matron at the orphanage. When Terrance asks her (under hypnosis)
about her father, she says she is an orphan). Gee... couldn't they have
used one of the other Angels for this? :-)
Terrence tells Kelly that Jill is really Beemish in disguise and that she
should kill her. Madam Dprian thinks she really *can* talk to the spirits.
Terrance is the *real* bad guy and ends up killing Madam Dorian. [OEH]

Title: Angels on Wheels [Columbia: Death on Wheels]
Teleplay by: Charles Sailor and Jack V. Fogarty & Rick Husky
Story by: Charles Sailor
Directed by: Richard Benedict
Blonde roller derby girl Karen Jason is killed during a game when she is
whipped over the railing by her partner and has her neck broken by a person
posing as a fan. No one sees the "fan" do his dirty work.
Jill is taking skating lessons at Charlie's request. Even after two weeks
she has no idea why (though all three angels can recount the derby accident
in graphic deatil when Chalie and Bosley bring up the case they're going to
start working on). "It's like a scrimmage with the Pittsburgh Steelers"
--Jill.
Karen's sister Barbara hires Charlie to look into the possibility that
Karen was murdered. Karen recently started dating an ex-con, Joe Espizito.
She sent Barbara a letter saying something about a suitcase. Barbara
thinks this suitcase may hold the secret to Karen's death and Joe's sudden
disappearance a few days before the incident.
Jill poses as Barbara to get a job with the Tornadoes, filling Karen's old
slot. Hugh Morris, who owns the Tornadoes (as well as an insurance company
and a car lot) hires her on the spot.
Sabrina poses as an investigator for the California State board of
Insurance (the phone number on her business card is 555-6111). She finds
out that the Tornadoes have a $250,000 insurance policy out on each one of
the girls on the team. Morris Insurance paid Mossis' Tornadoes when Karen
died.
After Sabrina leaves the Morris Insurance office, Miss Jesse Farmer calls
the California State board of Insurance to verify that Sabrina really works
there. Blonde Carol Lee Hagens (who works there) covers for Sabrina, then
calls Bosley to notify that Miss Farmer called her with questions (and
mentioning that she'll collect her reward this Sunday if Charlie is up to
it). Miss Farmer is still not convinced of Sabrina's validity, and has her
goon Jeremy check out Sabrina's background further.
Kelly breaks into Karen's apartment, but the manager (Red Lumis) catches
her rumaging through Karen's possessions. Kelly says that she is from
Woman's View magazine doing a story on women in sports and Karen's death.
She says she purchased the key from Barbara. Red asks if that's the
magazine that has male centerfolds and Kelly starts kissing up to him,
saying that he might be good material (he has a decent physique). He
complains about women only looking at men as sex objects--that they have
brains too. [What a perfect show to be making this point on, eh?]
He tells her that the only friend Karen had was Betty King, another skater
she hung around with. When Kelly brings up the name Joe Espizito, Red says
he's never heard of the guy. He sees her lift a baggage check before
leaving, and tells her to have a written authorization from Barbara next
time she comes by. He writes down her licence number (356 CFX) as she
leaves, and calls it in to Miss Farmer. We find out that Joe was
blackmailing Farmer and Red, and Kelly must be on the way to the bus
terminal to pick up the suitcase he had that was the evidence. The police
find Joe face down in the river, wearing cement overshoes.
Kelly picks up the suitcase at the bus terminal, and gets a bomb planted
under her car by the bad guys before she gets back to the parking lot. It
is set for fifteen minutes. The suitcase is loaded with $180,000 in cash
as well as several drivers licenses (Margaret Leads, Carolyn Stillman,
Virginia Dunlop, etc.) but they all have Betty's picture on them.
As she's driving along with the suitcase, she calls up Charlie. They talk
for a bit, then Charlie mentions to her that there is a bomb in her car.
[How the hell HE knew, I have no idea.] He doesn't know how long she has
before it goes off, but tells her to find a vacant spot to pull over and
disobey all speed limits. When she stops the car and starts running away,
he shouts over the phone to go back and pick up the suitcase. [How he
knows that she forgot, I have no idea.] She runs back to the car and grabs
the suitcase just in time to avoid getting seriously injured from the
explosion. Bosley yells at Kelly about insurance rates and how fast the
Angels go through cars.
Charlie sent Mr Emmett Winston, esq up the river for stock swindling 12
years ago. Charlie has been helping him out since he was paroled. Now he
has two million dollars in the market on any given day, but still looks
like a street bum. He says Morris Corporation (traded over the counter) is
down 12 (from 23) over the last month due to bad profit and loss statement
-- the tornadoes. Someone keeps steadily buying Morris Corporation stock,
but not in blocks that support the cost.
The find out that all the drivers licenses are in the names of children who
died before they were old enough to drive. Jill tells Betty that she needs
cash fast and that her sister told her that Betty is the one to talk to.
Betty sets up a meeting with Miss Farmer. Betty will crash into Jill's car
and will be at fault. Farmer will paay up right away, including a huge
medical settlement (they will use their own doctor). Jill will not be hurt
because she is used to sustaining injuries from roller derby. Jill will
get 10% of the settlement; Betty will get 10% of the settlement.
Jill thinks she is "in", but tells Bosley that if they're on to her--she
wants a simple funeral, then she wants to be cremated, with her ashes
scattered over Charlie's waterbed. Bosley asks how she knows that Chalie
has a waterbed. [What I'm wondering is how BOSLEY knows that Charlie has a
waterbed.]
Just after Miss Farmer's meeting with Jill, one of her goons comes in with
information on Jill. Her driver's license says Barbara Jason. Her car is
registered to Barbara Jason. The car insurance policy is held by Townsend
Investigations. Oh oh. Farmer plans a replay of Karen's death--a carbon
copy (partner whipping her over the rail to get her neck broken by a goon).
[Doesn't she think this will look a TAD bit suspicious?]
Red sets up Kelly, saying to bring the suitcase. When Kelly arrives, it is
Miss Farmer that is the contact. Farmer wants to bribe Kelly (telling her
she can have $50,000 if she returns the suitcase and drivers licenses).
Kelly says she can just keep the suitcase and have $180,000. Farmer says
to return the licenses and keep all the money; she won't have to tell her
co-workers anything--in fact Jill is going to be killed. All this while,
Red is disabling the brakes in Kelly's car.
In the end, we find out that Hugh didn't know about any of this. He didn't
really like to stay abreast of the insurance part of his business. He is
innocent. Everyone else is facing murder one charges. Jill is whipped
over the rail, but fights back instead of getting her neck broken. Bosley
and the police come in to arrest the goon. Jill goes back on the rink to
get revenge on Betty King.
Jill drinks Pepsi. [OEH]

Charlie gives the Angels three days off with pay, so they grab their tennis
racquets. Some Polish political figure (Peter Wycinski) is on the cover of
"NewsWorld" magazine. It turns out that he will be at the same resort the
Angels are going to (and at the same time). Sabrina is a big fan of him
Anyone smell trouble?
Some man is kidnapped on the side of the road when he stops to helpa
"stranded motorist". "Just last week Rosalin Carter leaped through my
kitchen window with a quart of chili" -Kelly. When Kelly and Jill go
shopping, Peter Wycinski sees Sabrina on her balcony and hops the railing
to meet her (when she waves at him). He brings over plum brandy to drink
with her.
Later, in public, Peter Wycinski doesn't seem to recognize Sabrina, and
seems really nervous when she's around. The secret service try to keep her
away, thinking she's a crackpot.
A man who Sabrina saw spying on Peter through binoculars starts hiting on
her (to keep her occupied while the oher bad guys make their moves). He
claims not to know who Peter Wycinski is. Sabrina lets him take her to his
room, has him order a $280 bottle of Dom Perignon, and tells him showers
turn her on. She goes into his bathroom, turns on the shower, and exits
via the window.
Sabrina now poses as a waitress so she can get a better view of everyone at
the dinner party. When the FBI guys track her down, she tries to get one
of them to drink the wine glass she took from Peter Wycinski (that she saw

Chief Surgeon Tom Danworth is over-working himself. The hospital
administrator tells him to stop logging so many hours. We see him taking
some pills. After the shift, Quincy (an intern) is hitting on one of the
nurses, but she tells him to save it for the student nurses. When the
nurse is attacked sexually as she cleans up the op room, the administrator
hires the angels. He tells them that when the same thing happened to a
student nurse the week before, he thought it was just an isolated case.
Both times the girl managed to get away with no harm done.
Jill and Kelly go in as student nurses (they must have (by total
coincidence) taken some medical classes at "the academy"). Sabrina goes in
as a reporter for a medical journal. Bosley has been complaining more and
more about his toe (he has a bone spur) so Kelly suggests that he check in
as a patient.
"Rape isn't exactly a regular part of our curriculum here." --Nurse
Farragut.
Jill hits on Quincy, who is known as "The Kissing Intern".
They put Bosley in a specific room, so he is in a bed next to a patient who
is also a suspect. They also make sure Bosley gets Danworth as his doctor,
since he's another suspect. Nurse Farrigut is attacked, and pills are left
behind. The angels find out that the pills are an experimental new version
of amphetimines.
Kelly breaks into Danworth's office and fines amphetimines in his desk
drawer. In a bold plot twist, NO ONE walks in on her while she is going
through his stuff. Just after she leaves, he comes back to his office to
pop more pills.
Quincy takes Jill to this "place he knows that serves pizza" (his
apartment). She immediately lies on his bed and starts coming on to him.
"I didn't hit on you 'cause I like pizza with anchovies." --Jill. "How
many minutes does it take for YOU to start cooking?" --Jill. "Do you like
girls or not?" --Jill. After she leaves, she tells Kelly that he
"crumbles in the clutch". A fourth nurse is attacked. Jill catches the
attacker ina closet where he is stealing amphetamines, but he manages to
run away.
Bosley's roommate, George Halvorsen, came back to the room at 11:30 last
night, just after Farrigut was attacked.
Charlie's printouts of the Dosiers of the three suspects arrive when Bosley
is getting a glass of water, so Halvorsen has to sign for them. He sees
that it is from a detective agency and sneaks a peek inside. Nurse F tells
Halvorsen that he'll have to have his appendix removed and gives him a
sleeping pill so he'll be drowsy when the surgical prep team arrives.
Bosley laughs at him, then insults Nurse F as much as Halvorsen had been
doing. Halvorsen switches pills with Bosley, and after John dozes off, he
switches medical charts and wrist bands as well. As Halvorsen prepares to
leave, an intern comes in and asks if he's been released. Halvorsen decks
him and throws him in a closet.
"Sablina, I'm glab to see you." --Bosley. "I'm glab to see you too,
Bosley." --Sabrina. Bosley tells Sabrina that Danworth had a malpractice
suit brought against him by McDuff, now using the name "Ted Blain" (which
happens to be the orderly that Halvorsen decked (who wakes up just in time
to hear the conversation).
Bosley falls back asleep. Sabrina kisses him and leaves. Ted is about to
smother Bosley with a pillow when the surgical prep team arrives for
Bosley's appendix removal.
Ted is trying to frame Danworth. Kelly breaks into Danworth's office again
and finds him slumped in a chair with a typed and signed suicide note:
"I'm sorry for what I've done. I didn't mean to hurt those nurses but I
couldn't help myself. God, forgive me. Tom Danworth". Kelly doesn't
notice the bad guy standing in the shadows with a gun. He tells her to
take a handful of the amphetemines. Jill knocks on the door, which is
enough of a distraction for Kelly to wrestle the assailant. They unmask
the gunman to find out that it is Nurse Ferrigut.
Sabrina and Ted go to the basement. He attacks her, but she is saved by
Jill and Kelly. Halvorsen has been skipping out on his alamony payments
and thought Bosley was working for his ex-wife. Farrigut used to be Mrs.
McDuff. [OEH]

Title: Dancing in the Dark
Written by: Les Carter
Directed by: Cliff Bole
Guest Stars: Dennis Cole as Tony; ?? as Alexander;
?? as Shaefer; ?? as Mrs. Kuzak
Tony and a Mrs. Kuzak are in a hotel room together. Tony tries to make
advances on her and she refuses. Tony forces her into situtations and a
photographer comes in and takes pictures of her. Later, Tony forces her to
pay $10,000 to get the photos.
Her husband was a famous baseball player. Jill knows all his stats, she
was a huge fan. Tony threatened to send the photos to the Baseball Hall
of Fame and that would have probably prevented her husband from being
inducted. Jill tries out to be a dancer for one of the men involved in
the scam, Alexander. Bosley goes to the photographer and tells him Charlie
wants to hire him. The simply want him out of town so that they can take
over from him. Tony instructs a dance class in ball-room dancing. Kelly
takes over for the photographer. Alexander needs Kelly to get info about
Jill. Sabrina decides to take up dancing. She does the plain-Jane routine
... a very shy and awkward woman. She is pretending to be Sabrina Walker,
daughter of the rich Stuart Walker. Of course, this is all fake. Tony
immediately decides Sabrina might be worth a look. Alexander is pleased
with Kelly's first assignment. Tony doesn't like Kelly because she is too
aggressive.
Sabrina shows up for her first lesson with Tony. Tony and Sabrina go out
on a date to go dancing. The real Sabrina is in total pain after a night
of dancing! Alexander is very impressed with Kelly. Tony brings Sabrina
back to the same place he brough Mrs. Kuzak. Sabrina is a little toasted
(or pretends to be). Kelly arrives to take some pictures. Sabrina passes
out and that makes Tony's job easier. He invites Kelly in and they take
pictures of the two of them with drugs. Tony wants to take Sabrina's
clothes off but Bosley shows up with room service and that stops him.
Alex calls Stuart (aka Bosley) and tells him he has pictures of his
daughter. Alex wants $10,000. Stuart tells Alexander that he will pay
$500. Kelly ups the price to $20,000. Stuart agrees and they all head to
the bank. Charlie drives Bosely to the bank. Kelly, Tony, and Alexander
celebrate. Sabrina arrives very upset. She announces her father is away
in Alaska and Bosley posed as her father and will try to sell the photos
to her father for even more money!
Alexander offers Bosley $40,000 for the photos back. The photographer
returns to town and Kelly's cover is blown. Alex and Tony go to Mr.
Walker (aka Charlie Townsend) and he announces Sabrina is not his
daughter. He tells them to get out. Tony and Alexander take off and head
for the bowling alley. Jill learns Kelly is in trouble and everyone
decides they are up for a game of ten-pin. A chase ensues with Kelly and
Kelly knocks Tony out with a bowling pin. The bad guys strike out and
everyone is caught after Tony is bowled over by Jill. [TDC]

Gloria Gibson, an aging actress friend of Charlie's, is seeing scenes from
her movies. She has seen a man hanging from the tree in her garden, a
snarling dog, and a child's severed hand. Is she seeing things or is
someone trying to drive her insane?
Sabrina acts as a live-in secretary. She has seen all of Gloria's movies.
While she's there, Gloria sees a dead man floating in her bathtub and
leaves the bathroom screaming. When Sabrina looks at the tub, there is no
man there and no puddles from where a man could have left.
Frank, Gloria's agent, gets her a part in the remake of her biggest moveie
"The Heart of New York". This time she'll be playing the part of the
mother. Ulin, the director, doesn't want Gloria in the picture, since he
had someone else in mind for the part.
Kelly auditions for a part in Gloria's comeback movie (something she always
wanted to do as a child).
Gloria has had to sell most of her furniture and is about to lose her
house. Her late husband built the house and it has great sentimental
value, so she really doesn't want to move.
When Gloria shows up on the set, she swipes her old parking space back.
When she's in her trailer, someone sets fire to it and jams the door shut.
Someone (one of the bad guys, it turns out) just happens to have a crowbar
and pries the door open. Jill snoops around the trailer and finds that the
door had been jammed. They decide that Jill is getting too involved and
will have to be taken out of the way, so one of the two bad guys is going
to arrange another "accident" by dropping something heavy from the catwalk.
When he tries this, Jill is alerted and moves out of the way, but a REAL
accident happens and the guy falls off the catwalk with the heavy
equipment, instantly killing him.
Gloria acts hysterical, but won't take her nerve medicine. Sabrina takes
it instead.
Jill gets most of her information from Lunchie, the sandwich vendor who has
been working there since Gloria fist started out in films. Jill learns
that Gloria used to eat liverwurst and horseradish sandwiches.
Sabrina notices tacky painting in Gloria's house, supposedly a copy of a
valuable painting they saw when overseas. It turns out that the
reproduction is really the original, not a reproduction done by the
painting people on the set. Now that Gloria's husband is dead, the Art
Director wants the fresco back. He contacted Frank to drive her out of her
house and out of her mind so that he could either steal it or get it cheap.

A couple is killed on a cruise ship when they are trapped in a passageway
that is filled with gas. The angels are hired to find out who is doing all
of this because the owner is losing business. The angels decide to take the
case even though it will be very dangerous because they can't walk away from
the ship. There is a knock at the door and the angels find a dummy pinned
to the door of the office. The note says that they shouldn't sail on the
ship.
The angels board the ship after going over profiles of the crew. A mind
reader claims to know who the killer is. All the angels have a note
telling them they will be killed. The mind-reader reads Jill's mind quite
well ... scarily. Sabrina's room is torched while she is out at dinner.
The angels are awakened to a "Man Overboard" all. As Bosley gets up from
the alarm, someone knocks him over the head with a gun. A dummy wearing
Bosley's pj's is thrown from the crow's nest and gun shots ring out. The
angels try to find the killer but only find the gun and a very naked
Bosley!
One of the crew members is found by Jill, hanging in the hallway. Kelly
is trapped in the same passageway as the first couple. The room begins to
fill with steam. Kelly manages to free an overhead escape hatch. Bosley
and the group come out and announce they are investigators. They announce
Kelly was killed and announce they know who killed the people but they are
going to take finger prints. Kelly watches the area where the steam valve
is to see if someone will try to remove their prints. The mind reader
tries to do it and he is surprised by Kelly. The gang try to catch him
but he is able to escape from them. Harry, the mind-reader, is crazy and
announces there are bombs planted on the ship. He refuses to tell them
where they are ... he is already dead.
One of the crew members find one of the bombs. After some crazy talk from
Harry, he tells them where the three bombs are hidden. Charlie sets up a
relay with a bomb expert back home. The angels describe the bomb and the
expert instructs them. It all comes down to one last wire. When the wire
is snipped the bomb will blow or they will have just 10 sec or so to get
rid of the bomb before it explodes. It doesn't explode right away so they
run for the deck and toss the bombs. They all explode safely in the
water. The angels convince Charlie to let them stay on the cruise and
finish off. [TDC]

cancels the call "Delicious -- and you can cook, too!" Charlie says to a
a bikini-clad girl. Five men climb aboard Charlie's boat and put a sack
over him.
Sabrina and Kelly tell Bosley to tell Charlie that they need no one to
replace Jill. Bosley assures them that Charlie knows what he is doing.
Bosely refuses to say who the new angel is. The new angel arrives. With
a southern accent, she arrives. Kris Monroe, Jill's younger sister. Jill
is in Spain practicing for La-Maz. The angels are excited to see Kris who
should be finished her time at teacher's college. Kris says no ... she
has just graduated from the police academy in San Francisco. The angels
are thrilled that Kris is joining the team. The angels are surprised when
Charlie's call does not come on time. Finally it comes and Charlie
announces he has been kidnapped. Charlie tells the angels to fly to
Hawaii now. Bosley tells them to pack. Kris is upset ... Charlie has
been kidnapped and she hasn't even seen him yet!
The angels are greeted warmly in Hawaii but watched by a fat man in an
ugly Hawaiian shirt. The angels have cocktails while waiting for the
kidnappers to contact them. The note arrives and they are told to look
for someone with a red scarf on a beach in the morning. The angels head
out bright and early. The only person there is a fisherman. Until a
woman rises out of the ocean and puts on a red scarf. The fisherman fires
a gun at the woman and Sabrina stops him. Other men grab him. The woman
tells the man to run and hide or he'll be a dead man. She goes to the
Angels and announces she is Leilani Sacko. She says she kidnapped Charlie
so she could hire the angels to free her husband who is in jail. Leilani
tells them that Charlie is dead if they don't free her husband Billy. She
tells them to free her husband and then they will talk again. The angels
decide they will break Billy out of jail so they can free Charlie and then
they will send him back.
Charlie relaxes in Leilani's pool but Leilani warns him the nice treatment
won't last if the angels fail. The angels investigate the Sacko family
while Sabrina goes to Don Ho. He tells them about the Sackos. He tells
her that a new man in town set Billy up. A lawyer for Leilani provides
Bosley with the plans to the prison. Meanwhile, Kelly visits Kona's
massage parlour to get some info. Kona doesn't talk though. She does
make a call though. Kelly gets a note warning her to go home. Kris talks
to Billy's sister but doesn't find out much. Surf's up and Kris joins in
with Billy's sister who gets shot by the fat man in the blue shirt.
Billy doesn't want to freed from prison because he doesn't want anyone to
get hurt. Billy is quite upset when Billy learns his sister has been
shot. The angels realize it will be impossible to get Billy out of prison
so they decide to have him brought into court so they can get him on the
road. Kelly pays off some old couple. The fat man and another guy ask
Kelly what she's up to but Kelly screams and some big men come to her aid.
Mr. Blue is given the info from his goons about Billy being brought into
town. Mr. Blue orders his men to kidnap Charlie Townsend. The plan to
get Billy is put into action and a car jam is created. Billy hides with
Kris as Kelly and Bosley take off. The cops think Bosley is Billy and go
after them. The elderly couple take Kelly and Bosley's place and the
caper is done. They hide Billy out in a remote area along a beach. Bos
and Billy play cards. The angels wait for Leilani to call. Leilani
demands her husband and tells the angels that Charlie is gone. She still
wants her husband or the angels will be dead.
A lu-au at the beach takes place and the angels are their to meet with
Leilani about what they will do about Charlie and Billy. Leilani says
that if she were to try to get Charlie back, he would be killed. Leilani
tells them Mr. Blue will contact them but if they give him Billy, he will
kill Mr. Blue. The angels agree to find Charlie themselves. One of
Mr. Blue's men takes the angels for a car ride. Mr. Blue agrees to let
the angels talk to Charlie tomorrow at 9am. Kelly decides to go to Kona
to find out more about Blue. Kona doesn't know anything but tells them to
go see Sammy Telford. The angels return to their room and there is a
message saying that a man's body washed up on the beach with Charlie's
identification... [TDC]

chained up. The angels practice dancing. Charlie's call comes in and it's
brief. They decide to go find Sammy Telford since he is their best shot
at finding Blue. They have to check all the beaches since Sammy is
preaching against sun-bathing. Kelly and Kris are attacked in the parking

did it. Leilani tells them one of her men thought that if they kidnapped
one of the angels, they could use that to get Billy. Kris finds the beach

Pair Champions Inga Schilling as Olga, Tom Lawyer as Luisi
Ice Sequences Coreographed by Larry Merritt
This episode opens with Bosley and the angels at the ice show at the LA
Memorial Sports Arena. Bosley is eating all of Kelly's popcord as well as
her candy apple. The guy who owns the ice show (Max) is an old friend of
Charlie's.
Hick Billy is paid to leave the ice arena door open while the star pair of
ice skaters is practicing. He doesn't want to see the blonde (Helena
Robinson) hurt, only the man (Jack Ward). A homeless person (Mason
Fairchild) who sleeps outside the arena sees Billy get a payoff from a man
in a black limo with license plates that say "DIPLOMAT". Four men get out
of the limo, enter the ice arena through the door Billy left open, put on
masks (Nixon, Carter, an ape, and Woody Allen) and knock the pair of
skaters out with ether while they're making out in the locker room.
Max yells at Charlie (picking up the speakerphone box and yelling into it)
for sending "three chearleaders and a guy who inhales nuts." He tells the
girls that Jack is married, Helena is not. Charlie is playing tabletop
Pong with a blonde bimbo.
Kris pals around with Jack's wife, who doesn't seem to be too broken up at
Jack's disappearance. Sabrina poses as a representative of the
conglomerate that will probably buy the ice show from Max. She picks on
Billy, who has a crush on Helena.
Helena needs her asthma pills, and talks the kidnappers into going to her
apartment to get them. Mason sees the guard at the ice arena get pulled
into the limo through the window. Sabrina checks out Helena's apartment.
She just *happens* to show up just as the bad guys are picking up the
asthma pills. He puts on the ape mask and hides in the bathroom. When she
finally sees him, they wrestle and he locks her in the closet and jumps out
the window. She escapes from the closet, grabs her gun, jumps out the same
window, steals an old vegetable truck from an elderly couple (at gunpoint),
and promptly crashes the vehicle into a police car. Charlie bails her out
of jail.
Max hires the angels on as skaters. Alvin (the skating director) can't
know the real story, so the angels have to learn how to skate. Jill was a
pro skater. Kris is not. The bad guys send in their own couple (Olga and
Luisi) to audition for the ice show, to replace the two that disappeared.
Alvin auditions Kris and Kelly, but refuses to hire them because they are
amateurs. When they give him a *major* ass-kissing (complementing him on
his shrewd choice of fucia and magenta) he reluctantly hires them.
Olga and Luisi studdied Helena and Jack's moves when the ice show was in
Detroit. Alvin and Max immediately hire the duo.
Billy now has a crush on Kris. Kris can't cut it as a skater, but Alvin
just switches her to the clown squad instead of firing her.
Iggy is putting together all the prop guns to shoot American flags. Kelly
buys Mason food and booze to get information out of him. Two of the bad
guys don their "ape" and "Woody Allen" masks and gas Iggy. One of the bad
guys (Durgas) replaces Iggy when he tells Max he can fix anything. As the
show ends, he is making real rifles. "To be continued..." [OEH]

Ice Sequences Coreographed by Larry Merritt
Kelly and Kris see Olga and Luisi aim their guns over to section D instead
of straight ahead when they are rehearsing "the big number". Kelly finds
out that the seating chart was stolen.
Billy cooks dinner for Kris. All he wants to talk about is Helena. He
eventually tells her about his involvement in the whole ordeal. They gave
him money so he would be able to buy Helena something nice.
Kelly also runs into Mason outside the arena. She also bribes him for
info. He tells her about the limo, them mentions that it is right behind
her. As it pulls out of the parking lot, Kelly talks Jo Jo into following
it with her on his motorcycle. Jo Jo tends to refer to himself in the
third person. Kelly gives him $20 as they follow the limo to an Indian
restaurant. Kelly must pose as a belly dancer to get close enough to hear
what they are saying. When the veil over her face begins to fall, the
recognize her.
They put her in the same warehouse room with Iggy, the guard, and the two
skaters. Between the five of them, they have enough information to figure
out that something is going down with the oil VIPs that will be sitting in
section D during the ice show. Iggy worked in the circus before he was an
ice skater, so he makes a huge lever out of a board and a fulcrum that
happen to be lying around. They jump on one end, propelling Kelly up to a
skylight.
Bosley poses as a vendor in section D. Kris tackles Olga and Luisi as they
are about to shoot all the oil VIPs. Sabrina and Bosley knock out the two
Arabian guards. Billy helps them out.
Bosley complains about a $50 expense for a belly dancing outfit. They ask
him for $12 more. Charlie tells him to give it to them. They use the
money to buy another bottle of wine for Mason. [OEH]

The Miss Chrysanthemum Pageant is under way and one of the contestants is
scared by a tarantula on her bed. The man in charge of the pageant wants
to hire the angels. Mr. Pawl thinks someone is out to ruin the pageant.
Two of the angels are told to be contestants. Of course, Kris and Kelly
are the lucky girls! Kelly plays a typical beauty pageant contestant and
says she is going to be a brain surgeon. Bosley and Sabrina play
reporters taking pictures for TV. Mr. Pawl is given a cover and a code
word so they can get him off their backs. The contestants seen rehearsing
for the pageant opening theme look REALLY intelligent! NOT! Kris arrives
in her room to a gun blast through her window.
Two goons arrive at the stage. One of them goes inside. The girls
rehearse on stage for the pageant. The goon cuts a sand bag loose
while they rehearse. Sabrina jumps into action butshe only finds a bunch
of pigeons in a room. They are for Kris's magic act. The goon got away.
One of judges, Mr. Dearborn, is paid off for rigging his vote. The goons
corner another judge in an elevator. She refuses to be bought off so the
men kidnap her.
The angels find out one of the judges, Millicent, is missing. Kelly and
Kris rush off to rehearse. Millicent announces she is worth $6 million
and that she wouldn't be bought off even if she was poor. The goons take
off to bribe the new judge. Sabrina sees them do it. She hides in the
trunk of their car. The pageant gets under way. Kris plays it dumb
during the interview. The goons call their boss, CJ. CJ is happy his
daughter will win the pageant. When they tell him about the old lady, he
is not too happy. He tells them to go to Europe and he'll send the money.
Otherwise, he doesn't know them anymore. CJ's daughter sings a country
song and everyone seems impressed. The goons return to the warehouse and
go to check the trunk, which felt heavier than usual. Sabrina is forced
to show herself.
Kelly is interviewed and she does as well as Kris. Sabrina is tied up
by the goons. The goons decide to get $2 million for the old lady. She
announces she is a widow and only she can give money. The goons decide
the TV lady (Sabrina) is probably worth something. She tells them to
contact Bosley. Kris does some magic tricks. Sabrina tries to free
herself and Millicent. Kelly does some dancing. The goons arrive at
the pageant and go to Bosley just as the pageant is wrapping up. Just as
they are about to announce the winner, the goons give Bosley the code word
and Bosley says it to Mr. Pawl who runs off the stage to the phone. Kelly
and Kris attack the goons. The band starts up the music while the fight
ensues. Kelly and Kris take their places in line again. Mr. Pawl returns
to wrap up the contest. Sabrina hasn't been able to free herself. The
team arrives and frees them. The girls announce CJ's daughter won. But
she was disqualified after the angels told the police about the bribes.
Kelly and Kris are upset that they didn't get in the winner's circle.
Charlie announces they couldn't have won anyway because Mr. Pawl told the
judges they were professionals. Kris thinks Kelly would have won. Kelly
thinks Kris would have won. Sabrina is glad she was only kidnapped. [TDC]

Co-Starring: Ben Hayes as Bill Glover; Ralph Byers as Cliff;
Mary Angela as Maralyn; Lisa Moore as Mai Ling;
Lee Travis as Paula; Nigel Bullard as Palmer
This episode begins (in my version) with a plane getting ready to land.
The pilot and a stewardess discuss their relationship. The pilot finds a
black rose in his coffee cup and the stewardess gets very upset. The
pilot gets up and goes after the stewardess as the plane crashes. The
control tower annouces they have just experienced a "simulated crash". The
title "Angel Flight" appears and then the opening title sequence rolls.
This opening works very well. Too bad they didn't continue to use this
style.
Angela arrives to hire the angels. She says she has had 4 roses so far
and many phone calls. Sabrina says Angela and her were roomates in college.
The angels get to join the stewardess training school. Sabrina stays with
Angela while Kris and Kelly stay across the hall. The girls have a tape
recorder hooked up to Angela's phone. Kris and Kelly begin their training.
Kris starts off wrong with Mai Ling. Kelly angers one of the men on the
flight. After a hard day, the girls return to find Sabrina sleeping.
Angela finds a black rose in her coffee grounds. Sabrina wonders how
someone got in while she was sleeping.
The angels discuss people to check out. Gene arrives and Angela asks for
her key back. Gene says he gave it back two weeks ago. Angela gets a
call but she forgets to put the recorder on. The man says she has to do
something for him. The flight school returns and they receive some more
instruction. Kris tries to make up with Mai Ling but it doesn't work.
The angels return home and another stewardess is attacked. Someone
drives off in a green car. The other woman is dead. A black rose is
left beside her.
The girls find out that the stewardess was killed by a karate chop and that
Mai Ling is a karate expert. Angela gets a call in the laundry room.
Angela is told to follow some instructions on a tape. There is a gun with
the tape. Angela tries to play it cool but the angels know something is
up. Angela gets hostile and denies that anything is wrong. Sabrina
figures out that the killer called Angela and told her he would kill
someone else. Angela says that it will all be over tomorrow. Angela won't
tell Sabrina what she means. The angels figure out there is something
going on with the flight. Possibly smuggling. Sabrina will wait in the
flight tower. The flight takes off as scheduled. One of the crew is hit
in the cargo bay by another crew member. Angela begins her part of the
plan by putting a drug in the co-pilot's (Gene) coffee. Then they will be
heading for Lima, Peru. Angela orders the pilot to fly to Peru and then
the pilot tells Angela that she didn't lock the door and attacks her. The
gun goes off and the pilot is killed.
The crew member who hit the other one is forced to give up to Kris and
Kelly. He tells them they were going to sell the plane. The angels are
told to fly the plane to Peru since the pilot is dead. Gene gets enough
strength to put the automatic pilot on for Los Angeles. Mai Ling stops the
crew member. The angels finally get hold of the tower and they learn they
will have to fly the plane. On the ground, the fire department is
dispatched. Kelly finally gets into the cabin when Mai Ling kicks the door
down and she lands the plane with a few bumps, but not too bad for a first
flight!
The angels learn Glover(the pilot) wanted all the equipment on the plane to
sell. Glover had made a copy of a key he got from Gene. Kelly gets a
surprise ... flying lessons. Kelly isn't too thrilled! She wants a week
in Pango Pango instead. [TDC]

Read Morgan as Otis; Tom Reese as Reid
Special Guest Star: Ramon Bieri as Yanos Barzak
The action takes place at ... surprise ... a circus this time! A trapeze
artist is shot at while practicing and the performer falls. The owner
refuses to call the police. {This episode also begins with action before
the opening title sequence - in my version}
The angels learn the Barzak circus has had incidents for several weeks.
The son of Barzak, David, hires the angels. Barzak is not a nice
businessman either. He has stepped on some toes. Meanwhile, Charlie
plays with toy trains and his engineer, Casey, a blonde. Sabrina sticks
with David. Kelly and Bosley arrive as a motorcylce stunt woman. She
is "Go-Go Garrett". Barzak refuses to hire women for stunts. Barzak
decides to give her a try after she threatens him a bit. Sabrina will
play a clown. Her mentor thinks she looks like Nadia who is gone. Kris
wants a job as a show girl. Barzak gives her a job working with a German
knife thrower. Tarloff, the mime, likes Sabrina and agrees to let her
with him as a clown/mime. The guys who are trying to get rid of the acts
decide to make Kelly the next target.
Kelly has an accident on her motorocycle. Kelly is hired by Barzak.
This version of the episode is missing a funny part ... where Bosley meets
Tinkle Belle. Tinkle Belle is a midget who falls for "Bosley, John Bosley".
The commercial hackers cut out a good part!
The angels decide to stick with the case even though it is becoming
dangerous. Sabrina has a dinner with David. They talk and realize they
both like old fashioned things. David and Sabrina kiss. Tarloff watches.
Sabrina finds a rattle snake in her bed after Tarloff tells her to get
some sleep. She bags the snake and everyone comes running. David invites
her to his place ... David gives Sabrina the couch though, not the bed.
The angels decide to check and see if anyone saw anything. Kris hears
Barzak and the German knife-thrower arguing. Kris sneaks into the tent
where the knife thrower is and takes his glass for finger prints. She
returns to the tent where Kelly is. Someone sets their tent on fire. The
tent is tied up so the girls can't get out. The kinife-thower cuts them
loose while Kris grabs the glass with the prints on it.
The two guys who did the other stuff didn't set the fire. They have to
talk to the other person they work with because they weren't hired to kill
anyone. Bosley finds out Nadia was injured in a fall at the circus and
she died. The angels realize that David will be the big winner if the
circus is sold. Sabrina doesn't believe David would do it. Tarloff and
Sabrina practice. Tarloff mentions Nadia again and Sabrina pumps him for
information. Tarloff answers her questions but doesn't elaborate. He
shows her his trick swords. Kris breaks into Helmut's tent and is
caught. Helmut wants to practice NOW. Helmut questions Kris while
throwing knives at her. Bosely arrives and saves Kris. The guys go to
Tarloff and they discuss the fact that the new girls are too nosey.
Tarloff says Barzak must be destroyed. Tarloff decides they must kill the
girls. Tarloff will get rid of Sabrina while the other two will get Kris
and Kelly.
Helmut is knocked out and one of the guys replaces him. Kelly is watched
by the other guy. Tarloff prepares for his mission in which he will
accidently use a real sword on Sabrina. Bosley finds Helmut and he tells
him he knows who he is. Helmut denies it and then hears his music. They
take off to save Kris who is about to be knifed. A chase begins and
Helmut stops the imposter, Otis. Otis does not say that Reid is planning
to kill Kelly but says that Tarloff will kill Sabrina. The sword fight
begins and we see the sword go into Sabrina and she falls down. Then she
gets up again. Tarloff couldn't do it. Tarloff is glad he didn't kill
Sabrina. Tarloff warns them at Reid is going to kill Kelly when she makes
her jump. Kris finds Reid and stops him. Kelly's jump goes perfectly.
Reid gets away and Barzak stops him.
A thank you dinner is given. Barzak is upset Tarloff didn't realize that
Nadia's death was only an accident. Barzak congradulates his son for
doing a good thing in hiring the angels. A dance begins. Meanwhile
Tinkle Belle arrives to dance with Bosley. [TDC]

Kelly some pictures of Frank and Doug O'Neal. Kelly tells Sabrina that
Doug is the number one suspect. They warn Sabrina to be careful.
Sabrina says she will try to find out what she can ... it's her job.
Sabrina tells Doug that she is a writer working on a story about the
murder. Doug confesses that he knew Frank. Doug says he came to try to
find Frank's killer. Kris and Kelly search Doug's cabin and they find
his wallet. They find a story about a man D.B. Smith who stole $2 million
and escaped in a plane by parachute. Doug and Sabrina kiss on the grass
and Doug says he is falling in love. Sabrina agrees it is happening but
she needs more time. Sabrina returns and the angels show the article.
Sabrina doesn't want to believe it. But realizes it is true.
Sabrina wants to know why Doug is there and not hidden away somewhere.
Sabrina wants to go to Doug and come out from under cover. Lorraine tells
Lon that Frank did have the money and that it is still in the cabin.
Doug goes to the cabin and breaks in. He begins searching for the money.
He finds a hollow area in the wall and begins to take it apart. The
angels find Doug is not in his cabin and head back to the main lodge.
Doug finds the money ... all of it. Lon arrives and attacks Doug. Lon
continues taking the money out. Lon leaves the cabin with the money and

B.J. Smith. Doug wants to go after Lon because he has his money. Sabrina
realizes Doug is B.J. Smith. Sabrina points the gun on Doug and keeps
him at bay. The angels chase after Lon on horseback. Lon slides into
a ditch and Kris catches him. Doug says he landed in a tree when he
took the money but Frank took the money. Doug says he shot Frank but
Frank died by strangulation so he didn't kill him ... Lon did. Doug
wants Sabrina to pretend she doesn't know anything. Sabrina cries as
Doug says "I love you". Kelly arrives and Sabrina gives her the gun.

Title: Angels on the Air
Written by: William Froug
Directed by: George W. Brooks
Guest Starring: Nicolas Coster as Professor Croyden, Linda Dano as Joy,
Larry Golden as Dwayne, and Taylor Lacher as Buck Willis
Co-Starring: Larry Gilman as Gary, Kay Stewart as Mrs. Quinlan,
Richard McMurray as Priest, Judith-Marie Bergan as Raven,
Linda Ryan as Nurse
Joy, a WBEX radio reporter is targetted for murder. Kelly replaces the repoter
since she looks a bit like her. She had been doing a story on Dwayne
Hanson.
Kris tries to find out some information by posing as a biker chick. She's
checking out Dwayne Hanson, who seems to be the leader of a drug-free 60s
biker comune. Kris says her hog broke down and she heard he sells parts
real cheap. "Oh man, come on, gimme a break, will ya? My old man cuts out
on me, my hog breaks down, it's the pits--you know what I mean?" --Kris.
Raven doesn't want Dwayne to help Kris, but he falls for the angel. He
takes her along when he goes hunting for food (he misses a rabbit and Kris
grabs the slug out of the tree he hit when he isn't looking).
Sabrina works in a helicopter doing traffic reports. The pilot (who is
also a suspect) knows she isn't a reporter. On a break, he flies her to
his castle and shows her his rifles. He mentions that one is of the same
type that Joy was shot at with. He guesses (correctly) that Sabrina wants
to check it against the bullet that was fired at Joy. She seems surprized
that he has guessed her cover and is so forthcoming in volunteering
information and evidence. After what he saw in Viet Nam, his motto is
"live and let live". He goes out back and shoots a row of cans. He says
that if he were the hitman, he wouldn't have missed. He gives Sabrina one
of the slugs.
Raven finds out that Kris is a fake, so Kris tells them that she is really
a reporter for KBEX, doing a follow-up story on Dwayne. He laughs at the
fact that Vance didn't think she'd be safe coming herself to do the
follow-up. He says he is not dangerous. He wouldn't hurt anyone. He
isn't bitter. In fact, the reporter made him so famous that some Hollywood
people are stopping by to do a documentary on him.
Dwayne's slug doesn't match the one that was shot. Buck's slug doesn't
match either. Both of them are cleared.
Dr Arthur doesn't like Vance. Sabrina finds him jogging.
While Kelly is driving a KBEX station wagon, she gets cut off on the road
and shot at. Bosley is coordinating all the angels from the KBEX phone
center. Sabrina and Buck chase the two cars form the air.
Dr Arthur injects Sabrina with truth serum. He tried to kill Joy twice
because she (due to her news reports) stopped him from getting a $200,000
grant to further her work. He's about to inject air into Sabrina's veins
when Kris, Kelly, and Bosley arrive. He runs away with a head start, but
Kelly is able to catch up to the expert runner (even though several cars
slow down her pursuit). He falls down a flight of stairs he just ran up
(outdoors) and falls at the feet of Bosley (who has somehow run all the way
there.
"Charlie, you should have seen her. She runs just like a man!" --Bosley.
"Kelly, do you think like a man, or just run like a man?" --Kris. [OEH]

Kelly helped a punk kid Tommy back when she was working in Juvenile. She
talked him into enlisting in the armed services to keep him out of trouble.
When he doesn't get any letters from his girlfriend Marie, he goes AWOL and
comes back from the Middle East.
Her roommates Sam and Teri tell him that Marie is visiting a sick aunt, but
he knows that she doesn't have any aunts. We find out that Marie is
pregnant with tommy's kid, but didn't want to tell him for fear that he'd
feel pressured into thinking he had to marry her. She decides to sell it
for $7000 instead.
"Where do we start?" "We start with Kelly getting pregnant." --Charlie.
"I quit." --Kelly. Kelly goes to Felise's Botique, a front for the baby
business. She ends up at Warfield's home for Girls, where they tell her
she can get $3000 for her kid. She soon meets up with Marie at WHG.
Kris crashes a party at a disco, telling the host that she needs a lot of
money fast. He tells her that she will get $20,000 to have a child by a
blonde-haired blue-eyed man. Tomlinson then sets her up with a dark-haired
man (continuity and casting must have been out to lunch for this episode).
The man tells Kris that it isn't worth whatever Tomlinson is paying
her--that he is bad news and she shouldn't get involved with his type.
Kris gets some information from him, then gives him the tape she had been
making this whole time because he was being so nice.
Sabrina and Bosley pose as a wealthy couple that wants a child.
Charlie uses his connections to spring Tommy and explains things to his
commanding officer at the base.
Five weeks ago, Annette Morris was at WHG but changed her mind and decided
that she wanted to keep her child. The staff beat her, killed her, and
sold the baby anyway. Bosley and Kris talk to Annette's mother.
Now Marie tells the staff that *she* wants to keep her baby and wants to
see Tommy, since he's back in the country. Marie has had no outside
visitors and no one has sent her mail, so they wonder how she knows that
tommy is back in the country. She says she snuck in and used the phone,
but they keep it locked at all times when no one is around. The only
person that has had any contact with Marie is Kelly, so they know that she
is bad news.
Meanwhile, Tommy breaks into WHG (anyone NOT see this coming?) in his army
dress uniform and hat (for some strange, unknown reason) at night. He is
clubbed from behind by Chafey (the guy that killed Annette) and thrown into
a locked room with Kelly and Marie.
We find out that Tomlinson never wanted anyone killed--he just wanted
Annette scared enough so that she wouldn't want her baby back. Chafey
wants to murder Kelly, Marie, and Tommy now. While they are discussing
this, Marie has her baby (a girl, delivered by Kelly).
Kris, Sabrina, and Bosley break in, attempting to break Kelly and Marie
out, but run into Chafey. Kris shoots him (and is shaking afterwards, like
she has never killed anyone before (in all her years as a cop and a private
eye)). Sabrina has to pry the gun out of her hands. Kris says "that's the
first..." and weeps uncontrolably.
Marie, Tommy, and their daughter all go to the Far East for their honeymoon
and everyone lives happily ever after. Chafey even pulls through and is
indicted.
Amazing that they agreed to pay Kelly all that money without ever checking
to see if she was indeed pregnant! [OEH]

Some big musical actress died fifteen years ago on the stage. Five years

believed to be jinxed.
Frank (Ellen's ex-husband of 20 years) isn't happy. Kris befriends Frank
at the horse track. Sabrina befriends their child.
They all watch the accident on film of the big star that fell off the
balcony and think the cameraman is morbid for not stopping the film. Ellen
wants Frank to co-star in the musical she's doing on the jinxed stage.
Frank says he'll agree if Kris gets a role as well. Kris just happened to
see it when it was a play on Broadway and had a role in it when she was in
drama(?) class.
Kris is almost one of the accidents when she is rehersing on the stage.
Kris's hair is flat at the beginning, but gets styled (without her changing

Wendell Muse entertains a group of people in an old mansion. Meanwhile we
see a security guard checking out a business. A phone rings in one of the
offices of the business and a fire starts. Wendell hires the angels since
he is accused of starting the fires at "Fashion City Warehouse". Sabrina
checks out the fire and runs into Alex, an old friend who is a fire
inspector. The owner of Fashion City has had several fires in his
businesses. Bosley finds out that another magician has been playing at
the same locations as Wendall. This magician is not doing very well with
his cash either. Sabrina decides to go after Mr. Watson, the owner of the
Fashion City. Sabrina plays a French designer. Mr. Watson likes
Sabrina's work ... but it looks a lot like someone else's work! Watson
still agrees to hire her. Sabrina sneaks around after hours. The Great
Danzini performs. Sabrina snoops. Another fire starts in the room where
Sabrina is. She is trapped inside so she uses a fork lift to bust out of
the warehouse.
Watson is questioned by Alex and he tells the inspector that he didn't do
it and wants the arsonist caught. Watson checks out Sabrina and learns
she is an imposter. He tells her she can stay as long as she can deliver
designs. Watson has Sabrina followed. Kris arrives, working with Zolton.
She meets Danzini's assistant. The assistant tells Kris how paranoid
Danzini is. Sabrina is followed to the magic mansion and Sabrina knows
it. Wendell performs again (strange ... he has the exact same audience
wearing the same clothes! :-) ) Kelly plays the daughter of a great
magician who died. Danzini wants to know some of the tricks. Zolton is
ready to perform. Zolton is Bosley. Zolton has ESP. Zolton is a dolt!
Kris gives him hints so he can guess anything. Sabrina hands Kris a note
telling her about the men following her. Kris gets one of the guy's
driver's license and reads out the name. The act is over. Kris goes to
take a shower and the shower head spouts fire instead of water.
Bosley finds out the two men following Sabrina worked for Watson. Sabrina
puts it together that there might be a connection between the two phone
rings that happened before each of the two fires. Danzini woos Kelly so
he can get the magic tricks from her. Danzini invites Kelly for a
weekend in private. Sabrina reports to Kris and Bosley about the fires
and the phone connection. Sabrina learns another fire is planned for that
night so she will wait in the office where it is supposed to be set.
The security guard tells Watson that Sabrina is in his office. Watson
tells the guard to go home. Kris sees Danzini's assistant make a phone
call. The call goes to Watson's office. Kelly and Kris go after the
assistant and they all end up on stage. Watson catches Sabrina trying to
leave the office.
The assistant confesses that her husband was the magic man. She was
trying to avenge her husband's death by ruining Watson. Watson ties
Sabrina up. Danzini is not too happy to see his assistant taken away.
Watson rigs his phone so Sabrina will be killed in his office. Kris
calls Watson's office and the fire starts. The angels head over, thinking
something is up. Sabrina tries to escape the inferno on her own but
can't do it. The angels arrive and rescue Sabrina.
Watson is arrested. Charlie complements Kris and Bosley on their act.
Charlie was there and gave Kris his pen. Kris can't remember what he

Co-Starring: Natalie Core as Mrs. Warren; Betty McGuire as Secretary;
Robert Hackman as Tipsy Diner
Sammy Davis, Jr is in a restaurant with his business manager. He tells a
fan that he usually gets mistaken for Paul Newman. A tipsy diner thinks he
is Flip Wilson. The "fan" and a "busboy" kidnap Sammy from the restroom
(where he goes to clean up his suit after the "fan" spills Sammy's drink on
him) but take off when the drunk stumbles back in for his watch.
Ben Brody, Sammy's business manager, hires the angels to watch Sammy. This
is the second attempted kidnap on him.
Kelly models at the gig Sammy is in Beverly Hills for. Kris poses as a TV
reporter (with Bosley as her cameraman) to show him that all bodyguards are
not 7'6" tall. Sabrina poses as a charity vulture--then tells Sammy that
she's another of his bodyguards. A Sammy Davis Jr lookalike is trying to
get candy out of a machine when Kelly tells him that she is his third
bodyguard. He tells her that he is not Sammy--he is Herbert Brubaker III
from Pittsburgh, owner of H&B liquer store chain.
Sabrina surprises the kidnappers (posing as delivery men) but they manage
to get away.
Sammy's wife Altovise wants him to go away to Paris until this mess blows
over. Kelly is 98 pounds. Bosley poses as Sammy's chauffer. Sammy gave
in to a charity vulture who wanted to let Brubaker drive one of the cars in
Sammy's collection. When Brubaker arrives, Bosley thinks it is Sammy, and
lets him take off in a car.
The kidnappers plan to take out Bosley and waste the angels after cutting
the phone line, but when Brubaker leaves in the car, they figure it'll be
much easier to just snap him up while he's alone. They pursue in their
van, which Bosley notices. The angels pursue in time to find the abandoned
car.
The angels tell Sammy to stay in his house with his wife and not to tell
anyone--not even Ben Brody. The kidnappers call Brody and demand $375,000.
Brody and Andy Price (Sammy's financial manager) go to get the money.
Kris poses as a bimbo. "Andy was going to take me to the race track so
that we could discuss my career. He said that if he wasn't here that I
should wait for him in his office so that people wouldn't get the wrong
idea <giggle> What did he mean by that?" --Kris. "I'm *sure* I don't
know, dear." --elderly secretary. Kris finds out that Andy has been
embezzling money to gamble and he had to replace it before the uadit next
week. He hired a few small-time hoods to kidnap Sammy to get the money
back.
Bosley delivers the money. Andy "goes home" when he learns that Sammy
hasn't been kidnapped. Sabrina and Kris follow Andy to the greenhouse
where they're holding Brubaker. Kelly and Sammy follow farther back.
Sammy pretends to be Brubaker to cause a diversion for the angels.
Sammy arranges for Andy to pay back the money and he doesn't have to go to
jail like the real bad guys. The angels and Bosley dress up when Samy
invites them to an opening, but they find out they are overdressed when
they learn it is the opening of Brubaker's Booseteria West.
Someone is trying to kidnap Sammy Davis Jr (played by himself), but they
keep getting him confused with some dork who looks just like Sammy (also
played by Sammy Davis Jr). [OEH]

She escapes, barely. The angels are hired to investigate the accidents.

was a tennis player!). Sabrina will play a clothes designer and Kelly
will be the model. Bosley gets to sell cushions at the match! Bosely is
being watched by a woman. Kris arrives to play tennis. Sabrina is
introduced to Arlo Spinner, the tennis manufacturer. Bosley tells
Sabrina that he is being watched and that the woman is obviously involved
in the evil doings! :-) Bosley decides to play "her little game". Helga
the tennis player is checked out by Kelly. She is practicing Yoga. Kris
checks out Carmitta who is in a trance. When Kris goes to her, she falls
over.
Carmitta died of 'natural causes' supposidly. Her heart just stopped.
Kelly wonders if Helga could have done it with her Yoga powers. Kelly
goes to Helga to join her in Yoga exercises. Bosley meets with his
follower. She tells Bosley she is lonely and wants to go to Bosley's
room for some fun! Bosley takes off when he learns there is no evil
doings happening. Sabrina is cornered by the drunk broadcaster. Arlo

the assassin but he gets away.
Kris pumps the broadcaster, Mr. Kyle, for info about the shooting and he
says he didn't hear anything. Kris is suspicious. Kris tells Kyle that
she wants to like him. He gets a little cozier and Kris asks more
questions. Kris challenges Kyle to a tennis match. Kris starts off
losing and Kyle gloats. Suddenly Kris comes on strong and Kyle begins to
lose it. Kyle gets angry with the judge and runs off. Kris heads for the
showers to try to bait the killer. Bosley finds Kyle ordering a cup of
coffee ... not trying to kill Kris. The angels figure Helga will be the
next victim if she's not the killer. The angels go to Helga and find
there is a rattle snake in her purse. Helga tries to ctonrol the snake
and it bites her. Helga goes into shock and things the angels are trying
to kill her. Helga goes into a trance so she won't go into shock. The
killer, Arlo's assistant, lurks in the bushes.
Arlo's assisant goes back to Arlo and tells him that the angels are
detectives. It's time for another accident. We find out that Arlo is
doing it so the girl who models his products will win the match by getting
rid of the good competition. The angels get a message from Charlie that
Arlo's partner taught Yoga at one time. Kris goes for a walk. The
tennis match begins. Carrie Jo can't go on and warns the angels that Kris
is in trouble. She tells them that Spiner is the one they are looking
for. Kris is chased by Arlo's man but the angels catch him. Next, the
angels chase after Arlo. Arlo gets Sabrina and threatens the angels. He
forces them into a grassy area where he tells them he is sorry. Sabrina
tries to make Arlo feel small by telling him he is a loser. Sabrina

a stop light. One of the men goes after him and shoots at him. He's sure
he hit him. Later, the man stumbles into the hospital and collapses.

Teleplay by: Brian McKay & Ronald Austin & James D. Buchanan
Story by: Brian McKay
Directed by: Ronald Austin
Guest Starring: Dan O'Herlihy as Freddie Brander;
Bert Remsen as Brewster McFarland; Sid Haig as Reza;
and Robert Perault as Ali
Special Guest Star: Rene Enriquez as Faris Salim
Co-Starring: Tony Giorgio as Carl; Rita Madero as Cleo;
Michael Evens as Maitre D'Hotel; John Winston as Hotel Clerk
Two thugs (who think the notorious jewel thief Freddie the Fox is in
possession of the stolen diamond, the Light of Arabia) try to bully him
into giving it to them. They don't believe him when he says he doesn't
have it. He escapes from them by jumping out of the second story window
(even though he looks to be in his late 50s or early 60s).
All the criminals seem to think Freddie has the diamond, but he tells
Charlie that it is in the possession of a multi-millionaire names Feris
Salim. Charlie helped send Freddie away in the past. Freddie wants to
hire the angels to help him steal it back for him so he can give it to the
museum. He'd do it by himself, but he is getting too old to pull a job
like this by himself. Charlie guesses (correctly) that he is being so
"nice" (in wanting to return the diamond to the museum) because Freddie is
writing his autobiography and it would make for a great final chapter.
The angels, Bosley, and Freddie head down to the Caribbean. They check in
to the best hotel and get the best rooms. Bosley is posing as the valet
for "Lord and Lady Brando" (Freddie and Sabrina). Kelly poses as their
secretary and Kris is Freddie's massouse.
Kris starts working on Salim's son Ali, who is into cars and racing. She
can at least "talk the talk" from hanging around Jill. The two thugs from
the beginning seem to have followed Freddie down to the caribbean,
unbeknownst to him.
Bosley manages to get Salim's secretary fired by brown-nosing Salim's cook
and swaping rumors about the secretary and one of Salim's guards. Since
Salim was boinking his secretary, he fires her. This sets up the plan to
get Kelly in as his new secretary.
Kris has been helping Ali re-build his Ferrari. Ali invites her to his
father's birthday party.
While Salim is dining, Freddie, Sabrina, and Kelly go down to dine.
Sabrina doesn't like their table (which was approved by Kelly). she wants
the table that Salim is sitting at. The waiter can't get them that table,
so Sabrina fires Kelly and the Brandos decide to dine in their suite.
Kelly moves over to the bar to weep. Salim (who has witnessed the whole
ordeal) comes over and buys her a drink and offers her a position as his
new secretary.
Sabrina goes to the local jeweler to look at diamonds. She doesn't see
anything as big as she likes. Salim just happens to be there, and he
invites her to his birthday party.
At the party, Freddie acts bored. Sabrina tells Salim that he wants to go
home and asks if he has anything planned that might capture his attention.
He says he didn't really have anything interesting planned, but then
remembers his little diamond. He invites Freddie, Sabrina, Ali, Kris, and
Kelly to see his prize. It is in a room with a wired floor in a clear
glass box guarded by a small snake (a green momba from Africa, one of the
world's deadliest snakes). Sabrina takes pictures with the camera hidden
in her necklace (made from the diamond Salim bought her). After five
minutes of looking at the Light of Arabia and the snake, Sabrina finally
says "a snake!" and promptly faints. While everyone is attending to her,
Kris gets an imprint from the lock on the glass box. Ali is the only one
who sees what Kris is doing.
Later, Kris tells him that she is a private investigator when he asks her
if she plans to steal his father's diamond. She still likes him, but she
admits to using him to get invited to his father's birthday party.
Bosley, Freddie, Kris, and Sabrina don black outfits and sneak onto the
property in a van. Kelly seduces the guard to keep his eyes off the
monitors. He's an expert dancer, so she brings a bottle of wine, two
glasses, and music to dance by. Freddie sedates the guard dogs but runs
out of breath. Bosley takes his place in the plan, leaving Freddie to stay
behind with the van.
Kris saws through the bars on the window of the vault, shoots a cable
across to the far wall, and gets to the center of the room via a pulley.
She lowers herself to the case and opens it with the lock Freddie made from
the imprint she made of the lock. She grabs the snake with a pair of
tweezers and pockets the diamond. [Most of this seems to be lifted
straight from one of the "Pink Panthar" movies.]
The guard starts putting his moves on Kelly, and wants to take her back to
his room. When she doesn't want to, he glances over to the row of monitors
in time to see Kris, Sabrina, and Bosley sneaking back across the lawn.
Kelly grabs a machine gun and blasts the security system, setting off the
alarms.
Meanwhile, the two goons from California have a gun to Freddie's head. By
the time the angels return to the van, Ali gas the two thugs in his
custody. Freddie, Bosley, and the angels are free to leave the country.
The diamond is returned to the museum, Charlie gets a substantial reward,
and Freddie's "Friends" are leaving him alone. Freddie takes credit for
the entire diamond mission in his book, but adds a dedication: "To
charles, Bosley, and their three lovely angels, my only regret being that I
didn't make their aquaintence thirty years ago." [OEH]

Title: Angels in the Backfield
Written by: Edward J. Lakso
Directed by: Georg Stanford Brown
Guest Starring: Gary Wood as Joe Phillips; Nancy Fox as Amy Jarvis
Patch MacKenzie as Julia Smyth and
Garn Stephens as Pokey
Special Guest Star: L.Q. Jones as Dan Jarvis
Co-Starring: Heidi Von Beltz as Grinelda; Saundra Sharp as Hilda;
Larry Huffman as Football Announcer
Members of the all-female full-contact football team "The Ducks" are being
terrorized by helmetted motorcyclists. Shy blonde Amy Jarvis is the coach
and place kicker. Her father wanted a son. They contact the Angels to
find out who is terrorizing the players.
The Angels join the team, with Sabrina as quarterback, calling the plays
herself. Kelly runs like she's in high heels.
Ex-jock Joe Phillips stops by to watch the scrimmages on a near-daily
basis, since he can't play anymore (bum knee?)
Grinelda is the rough-house amazon player for the Ducks. She shoves Kris
(in a towel) around in the locker room after a scrimmage. Kelly comes to
her rescue and a catfight ensues between Kelly and Grinelda.
Elizabeth "Pokey" is a dislexic player for the Ducks.
Miss Julia Smyth (owner of the Panthars (the the Ducks will be playing this
weekend)) stops by and offers Sabrina triple what the Ducks are paying her
if she'll work for the Panthars instead.
Julia and one of the black players for the Panthars ride motorcycles and
look mighty suspicious, but they aren't the ones terrorizing. Julia was in
the same sorority as Grinelda and they are using her to get the Duck's
plays. The real terrorizers are Joe and his buddies, who don't really care
who wins the silly game, he just wants the stadium empty so he can steal
the million dollars in cash receipts from the rock concert held the night
before. Kris follows him and finds the blueprints to the coliseum and sees
how they plan to sneak through the building.
The Angels nab the bad guys in time to play the second half of the game and
win by telling Grinelda one play, then doing something different. For the
final play, Sabrina tells Pokey to run an "L" pattern, but being dislexic
she goes the other way, which is what Sabrina was hoping for. [OEH]

The Angels were planning a beach party including some players for the
Rams. Charlie wants them to work on a case in Palm Springs. Kris's
friend Betsy sells cosmetitcs. Kris buys them because she feels sorry for
Betsy, who has been on her own since she was young. Betsy thinks a
musclehead with binoculars is the man responsible for killing women on
the beach. Kris convinces Charlie to take this case instead of the Palm
Springs gig, much to Bosley's chagrin. Bosley seems to be the only one to
go under cover this episode. He gets a job as a chef at a small shack of
a diner on the beach. Kris has a beach patrolman help her break into the
suspect's blue van, where she finds porno Poloroids. The suspect sees
this and decides to peek on Kris at her beach house as she's getting ready
for bed. When she sees him, he breaks through a glass door and wrestles
her to the ground in her robe. It turns out that the beach patrolman
that's been seducing Kris is the real killer. He's been paying the
suspect to hang around the beach looking suspicious. The patrolman has
been killing blondes with blue eyes so it won't look suspicious when he
snuffs his rich blonde wife who wants a divorce. In the end he kills the
musclehead and plans to make it look like he shot him while resisting
arrest after finding his wife dead. The Angels show up before he can kill
his wife, however. Charlie tells them to take a day off and get a winter
tan. [OEH]

Country Singer Amy Warners rides around in a taxi, crying. She looks like
hell. She had just suffered a breakdown while giving a concert. She
tells Lenny, her cab driver, that she needs to make a phone call and then
go to the police station. She doesn't have any money to pay for the cab.
Lenny gives her a dime so she can make the phone call. She calls her dad
and asks to come home. The police are at her dad's so she tells her dad
to keep them there since she has something to tell them. Amy gets back in
the cab and tells Lenny to take her to her father's place. Another car
follows them. She arrives at her dad's place and two men arrive right
after. They take her into an alley and shoot her up with heroin. Amy
dies.
The angels listen to Amy's music in the office and Charlie says HE wants
to know why she died. The angels find it strange that Amy died of a
heroin overdose when she was always arrested for coccaine abuse. The
angels go to Amy's father to find out about the last night. He wants her
to find out why Amy died or he'll go crazy. The angels check out the taxi
company next. They find Lenny and question him. Kris and Bosley play
magazine writers. Lenny had Amy for almost 3 hours. Lenny says Amy got
her bruises at the first place they stopped. Kris wants Lenny to take
her to every place she went the night she died. Lenny thinks it sounds
like a good idea. Kris will drive around with Lenny and the other two
will check out the places they stop at. Lenny and Kris take off on their
wild adventure ... well ... okay ... not wild! The first place they
stopped at was an apartment building. Amy lost all her cash and got her
bruises there. Kelly decides to take the apartment building to check out.
The two drug men watch Kelly go into the apartment building.
Kelly goes to the apartment that Amy went to. Kelly questions him and he
gets a little upset. He says Amy hired him to be a back-up guitarist but
that didn't work out. He says the bruises weren't his fault. Amy was
crazy. He says he gave Amy some coccaine and looked after her. Kelly
isn't too impressed. Freddie goes to visit the guy and asks him who the
girl was. He tells Freddie that she was asking questions about Amy. He
wants to know exactly what was said. A fight ensues between the two and
the gun goes off. Freddie leaves the apartment. Back in the cab, Kris
and Lenny make their next stop at a restaurant. Sabrina checks that place
out. Meanwhile, Kelly is tailed by the other guy that was with Freddie.
Sabrina goes to Cooperman's office and he's not too impressed to see her.
He tells her to make it quick. Sabrina brings up a suggestion of mob
activity. He says no one can prove anything. Sabrina just wants to know
why Amy came to his place. He says Amy came in, they talked, and she
left. Amy didn't want to sell her company. Cooperman says Amy changed
her mind and Sabrina says he probably forced her to change her mind.
Cooperman worries Sabrina may connect him with the wrong people so he
sends his head man to follow her. Lenny and Kris stop at a restaurant.
Kelly sees that she's being followed. The team connect up via phone.
They set up the next place to visit. Kelly is going to find out what's up
with her follower. Sabrina checks out her next target. Another
apartment. The man who works for Cooperman tries to shoot Sabrina as she
finds out where Amy went at the building. He misses. Sabrina can't get
in a good shot at him and he gets away.
Sabrina confronts the man in the apartment Amy went to. Sabrina tries to
get some stuff out of him. Doneger, Amy's manager signed Amy over to
Cooperman and Amy didn't like that but he didn't have anything to do with
her death he says. Kelly has Bosley check out the license plate of the
man following her. Bosley suggests Kelly follow her follower! The
expected car chase ensues and Kelly ends up behind him. Sabrina picks up
Kelly's follower so he doesn't get too suspicious. She follows him to
a laundramat. Bosley has some new info. Sabrina sees Freddie and Kelly's
follower take a soap machine out of the laundramat. Kelly joins Sabrina
and they follow the two men. Lenny overhears some of Kris's conversation
and he pulls a gun on Kris. Lenny orders Kris to drive the cab.
Kris tells Lenny that she doesn't know anything because Bosley hasn't said
anything specific. Lenny says he is just trying to survive. Lenny was
the guy who provided Amy with coccaine. Lenny says that Kris knows too
much. The cab company calls in and Lenny doesn't respond. Bosley calls
Sabrina and Kelly and tells them that he is worried ... the cab logs
don't match what happened that night. Bosley figures out Lenny had to
stop at the Laundramat and Kris hasn't returned to the office yet. Lenny
takes Kris to a run down part of town and orders Kris out of the car.
The other two men show up too. Sabrina and Kelly aren't too far behind.
They stop just short of wear the others are and sneak up. The druggies
know that Kelly and Sabrina are working with Kris. A gun fight ensues.
Kris stops Lenny. Sabrina stops the man who was following Kelly and Kelly
stops Freddie. Kris checks out what's in the soap box. She finds a nice
little packet of coccaine.
The angels listen to some more of Amy's song and explain ending to
Charlie. They tell him Amy was trying to turn her life around but got
mixed up with the wrong people. Because Amy was going to tell the police,
Lenny had Amy killed. Kris says everyone in Amy's life was really
responsible for Amy's death. Charlie says they didn't get every part of
Amy ... she left them her music. [TDC]

Someone claiming to be representing a "rival toy maker" want to pay Leo (a
likable old toymaker who is this week's client) big bucks to sell the
business, but he doesn't want to. Charlie says the buyers have underworld
connections and use toy shops as fronts for illegal businesses.
Sabrina and Bosley move into the toy shop for a week, Sabrina as the
daughter of a overseas toy tychoon and Bosley as her accountant.
One employee thinks they should be making guilotines and other morbid toys.
A prowler is shot by a toy cannon when he breaks in to bug the toy shop.
He was hired by mob boss Tony Phelan. Tony's place is well-guarded and he
rarely leaves. Luckily, Kris is an expert hang glider so she "drops in" on
him while he's scheming with his mob buddies. He's drooling all over her
and tells his buddies he'll get back to them later. Kris tells him she's a
model who was on her first hang gliding run.
Kelly and another thug break into the toy shop to bug it. Kelly narrowly
avoids getting hit by the killer cannon toy. Apparently she just stays
still, though this is never explained. Kelly tells Sabrina where they put
the bugs, so she and Bosley move them around a bit. The morbid employee is
in cahoots with Tony. He made the toy cannon to kill Leo, but Tony doesn't
want Leo killed.
Tony has Kris come back to model tiny shorts and shirt with her hang
glider. She overhears Tony scheming with the morbid guy. Later, Kris
poses as a life-sized doll with yarn hair in order to spy on the morbid guy
in the toy shop, who is stealing Leo's secret Christmas toy plans. She
puts her chewing gum on the end of the cannon. the morbid guy accidentally
runs into the room with the cannon and faints when it shoots (but doesn't
die, due tothe gum).
In the end, in a shameless Columbia merchandizing plug, Leo gives the
Angels dolls of themselves. He tells them they will get royalties from the
sales (not far from the truth, no doubt). [OEH]

attracted. Bosley arrives at the hotel. Kris is already there. She is
pretending to be a famous Swedish actress. The thief and his mother think
Kris is not a normal guest ... a little strange. Sabrina works with the
owner. The owner mentions Denny was a friend of the dead lady, Mrs.
Redmond. But he has only been around for a few months so he couldn't have
done all the robberies. Sabrina goes to check out the roof with Bosley.
Denny remains outside and sees Sabrina trying to break into one of the
rooms from the roof. He thinks that's the person who saw him kill the
old lady. Denny gets onto the roof somehow. He attacks Bosley and tries
to cut Sabrina's rope.

a nice couple and heads out into the hallway. Back at the office, Bosley

the parking garage. Kelly and Ted kiss on the beach. Denny crashes onto
the beach and tries to run Kelly and Ted down. But he's not too skilled
and misses. Denny takes off.

down was the killer. Kris thinks Denny is the killer since he looked
funny when he saw Ted. The are just missing one thing. Proof. Ted says
he can't leave until he gets the jade and he wants to find out more
about Kelly. Ted's mother leaves and Bosley follows her to a gas station

a disguise and takes off in a different car. Bosley follows again. She
goes to a security firm. Bosley is pleased. Back at the hotel, the

trouble opening it. Ted is surprised when he is surrounded by the team.

The opening to this show is quite different from the normal one. It opens
with the normal cast being shown in scenes from the episode ... with a Las
Vegas scenes inter-mixed. This leads to the guest stars pictures and then
to the familiar "CHARLIE'S ANGELS" logo.
One of the showgirls and the casino ticks another girl off. She leaves
the casino in her car and a truck follows, without it's lights on. While
on the highway, the truck turns on all of it's lights, including some
overhead ones. It pushes the car off the road and into some cars parked
along side of it. The car explodes. The police call it accidental.
Another hit-and-run occurred the previous week so the manager, Mr. Howell
hires the angels. He thinks someone is gas-lighting him. Charlie orders
all of them to Vegas. But the angels want some time to prepare for their
trip ... new clothes .. hair style etc.
The angels arrive in Vegas. Kris didn't change her clothes. Sabrina got
a slight perm. Kelly and Bos link arms (ooooh!!). Howell says he won the
hotel in a crap game. Sabrina won't believe him though. Kris is assigned
to sing with Marty Cole. Kelly will be a showgirl. Sabrina will work with
Howell and Bosley will be a bell-boy. Kelly plays a friend of the dead
girl. Kelly is given some dirty looks by one of the auditioning girls.
Kelly ignores her and gets the spot on the team. The girl is not too happy
with her.
Sabrina and Frank go over the business. Sabrina and Frank *like* each
other. Marty is in shock when he sees Kris ... she looks like his dead
wife. He hires her to be his back-up singer. Frank and Sabrina are
joined by Mark Haines, the owner of a rival hotel. Frank and Sabrina
agree to have dinner. Sabrina is off in la-la land when Kris arrives and
they go to see Kelly. Kelly and the dead girl's roomate play the slot
machine. She recognizes Mark but denies it to Kelly. The angels go to
see Bosley. Outside, Joey January arrives at the hotel and he talks about
contract problems. The black truck arrives and shoots a bullet at Joey's
car. The angels find there is no license plate on the truck.
Frank thinks the gunshot was a set-up to get Joey January out of his
contract. The angels still have no idea why someone is going after Frank.
Kelly wants to know why Joan Wells (the dead girl's roomate) acted so
strange toward Mark Haines. Kelly performs at the dinner show. Strangely
enough, the only scenes we see Kelly and Joan in are the close-ups ... and
not the far out shows of the entire dance crew! Sabrina goes to see Frank
and finds Jip Baker there. He is a friend of Frank's who cooks for him
and does whatever. Frank tells him to take a walk in the moonlight so he
and Sabrina can be alone. An asian man with a calculator plays at the
casino and starts doing very well. He keeps raising the table limits.
Yet another man watches Joan. Kelly decides to go check out Mark. Joey
January is there. Kelly sits alone and it's not long before Mark sees
her and joins her. Kelly explains that she is Mary Phillips roomate, the
girl who died. Kelly doesn't stay to even finish her drink and takes off.
Mark is friends with the asian guy who is winning lots. Jip is followed
by the black truck. It suddenly puts on all of its lights and runs over
him ... leaving his cat to stand on his chest.
The professor (the asian guy) continues to rack up a lot of money. Frank
sends Marty to fetch Jip for good luck. Kelly tells the angels that Mark
reacted strangely to Mary Phillips' name. Marty tells Frank the bad news
that Jip is in the hospital. The angels take off for the hospital. Jip
is not in good shape. Jip tells them about the black truck. Jip wants
to know how Frank does a card trick. Frank will show him in the morning.
Frank is getting very upset that the angels haven't learned anything yet.
The angels wonder if the attacks might be personal attacks on Frank. He
doesn't want to believe it though. Late at night, someone arrives at the
hospital in the black truck. He climbs into Jip's room and injects
something into his IV. It's Marty Cole. [TDC]

Bosley mentions that this guy Dan Tana wants to meet the angels. They
brush it off. Kelly says she's being watched by Ed Slocum. Sabrina and
Kris go down to see how things are going in the casino. The professor
needs to take a break (probably the first time he gets to go to the
bathroom in days) so they stop the game until 5pm. Kris finds out Ed's
name. Marty arrives and tells Frank that Jip is dead. Frank takes off.
At the hospital, the doctors say that Jip might have gotten some medication
that he shouldn't have. Sabrina notices footprints in the carpet and a
problem with the IV. Frank wants his own doctor to do the autopsy. They
will need a court order to do it. They leave the hospital.
Sabrina tells Frank that she thinks Jip was murdered. Kris thinks the
whole thing is designed as a personal attack on Frank. Frank goes to have
a rest. Bosley gets info about Ed and Haines. Nothing really shows up
as suspicious except that Haines has been sending money to the same hotel
where Mary and Joan live(d). Kelly confronts Joan about the money Mark
is giving her. Joan says Mark paid for Mary ... they were lovers but Mary
wanted out of the relationship. Joan gives some more info ... and for
the first time ... she doesn't turn around and call a bad guy to report
that Kelly is asking a lot of questions! Bosley spots Slocum and crashes
his cart in front of his car. Slocum damages another car trying to get
out of the parking lot. Slocum tries to go after Bosley but he can't walk
since Bosley spilt lots of golfballs all over the parking lot!
Kelly goes to the race track, where Mark hangs out. Kelly asks Mark some
more questions about Mark. She hints that Mark might be the murderer. He
is not impressed. He threatens Kelly a bit. Kelly tells Haines that
she is suspicious and he had better watch out. Kris and Marty walk along
the shore. Sabrina and Frank make out on a blanket. Marty says Frank
always "gets what he wants". Marty says he's worked with Marty for six
years. Someone shoots at Frank and Sabrina from a boat. Kris takes the
boat with Sabrina, Frank, and Marty on it and they chase after the
assassins. Both Sabrina and Slocum can't hit anything! Marty sabatoges
the boat by cutting of the fuel. Marty asks about Sabrina's gun. He is
suspicious and Sabrina dances around the question.
Back at the race track, Haines tells Marty about Kelly's suspicions.
Haines asks Marty if he killed Mary. Marty denies it. Haines says he
thinks Marty is involved in murder. Haines doesn't want anything to do
with murder ... he only wants to see Frank go broke. Marty hints that
Frank 'took everything' from him. Haines threatens Marty that he'll
kill him if he learns he had anything to do with Mary's death. Marty
is worried ... both Frank and Sabrina are too suspicious. Marty arranged
for Sabrina to be killed ... but it failed. Marty decides to forget about
that for now. They will concentrate on the professor. Frank wants to
go to the casino. The angels want him to stay. Kris suggests the gun
shots were meant for Sabrina not Frank. Frank tells the angels to quit -
he doesn't want anyone hurt. He fires them and walks out. Sabrina runs
after him. Sabrina says it's worth it to stay. Sabrina says it's her
choice. Frank heads down to the casino. Kris answers the phone and it's
Marty ... he wants Kris in the 5:30 show so she needs to go down to
practice. Since the angels aren't quitting, she goes. Marty tells Kris
they are going for a drive to pick up some music at his house. Joan
watches them leave. Marty pulls a gun on Kris and orders her into the
car.
Kris and Marty arrive at his house and Marty asks Kris to tell him what
Kelly and Sabrina are up to. Marty says Kris is just like his wife ...
always protecting Frank. He thinks his wife was having an affair with
Frank. Marty says his wife killed herself because she couldn't have Frank
and didn't want Marty. Marty confesses to Kris that he has killed three
people. Back at the casino, the professor continues to win more money.
He has $1.5 million now. Frank is ticked off that the angels haven't
left. Frank tells the angels that Marty called in sick. Joan comes up
to Kelly and tells her that Kris left with Marty and he was talking to
Slocum. Kelly decides to confront Slocum about the whole thing. Sabrina
tells Frank she has to go after Kris ... Frank has to stay and watch the
professor win more money. Kelly pulls a gun on Slocum and tells him that
he is taking them to Marty. The angels head to Marty's house. The angels
decide to pretend Slocum has the angels. Slocum tells Marty that it's
a set-up so a gun-fight begins. Kris escapes. Marty and Slocum take off
in the black truck and it runs off the road after a tire is hit by a
bullet. Marty and Slocum die as the truck explodes. The angels return to
the casino and tell Frank that Marty is dead and that he did it all to
him. The professor is still winning. Frank is distraught so he decides
to make it one more try. All or nothing. The professor gets it all or
Frank does. Sabrina is not happy ... she tells Frank he has to stop
living life on a pair of dice. The professor agrees. He bets "Don't Pass"
and it comes up SEVEN. The professor loses it all and Frank gets to
keep it all. Haines is not impressed! Joey January agrees to do his show
for Frank. The angels go to pack. Sabrina tells Frank that she is happy
for him and then she tells him "Goodbye".
Bosley runs into Dan Tana and the angels are quite pleased to meet him.
He offers to take them out to dinner but the angels are already booked to
leave town. They are not happy with Bosley since he didn't tell them that
Dan was a hunk! Of course ... Dan Tana was the main character in the
70s series VEGA$. [TDC]

Jill got a cablegram from Kris saying she had to come back ... it was an
emergency. Kris says she didn't send it. Back at the office, the angels
are doing some wrap up work. Kris arrives and the angels are surprised
since it's Kris's day off. She says she has someone they might like to
see. The angels are ecstatic!!! Sabrina displays the first signs of her
hidden problem when she runs for the bar after seeing Jill. Either that
or else she needs a good stiff drink to stomach Jill back in town! :-)
The phone rings. Oh sorry ... Sabrina goes for Cokes. Charlie already
knows that Jill is in town. He has checked out the cablegram. The
telegram company shows that the note was charged to Charlie's phone number.
Charlie has received a call from Paul Ferrino ... a man she hasn't seen in
almost a year. He wants Jill to be at a hotel. The angels are leary.
Jill says they were good friends.

look good. Paul says Jill sent HIM a message saying she needed to see
him. Paul is very upset ... someone is using her to get to HIM. Paul
says he has to get out of here and takes Jill with him. The angels freak.
Paul takes Jill to the race track where he shows her a car. His secret
car for the Grand Prix. He says the car is worth millions of dollars
because of a new system that will reduce gas consumption. He has a deal
with an auto firm if he does okay in the race. He thinks people used Jill
to find him and his car, He offers Jill a chance to race the car in the
Grand Prix. Jill agrees. Jill meets Danny, Paul's mechanic. He doesn't

someone. Jill kisses him ... it's her fiance. He came to the US to be
with her. His name is Steve and he knows Paul. Suddenly there is an
explosion. Danny is on fire. Jill saves him while Paul and Steve save
the car. Paul is very upset and stares at Steve since no one knew the car
was there except those right there.
Kris is relieved when Jill returns. They are all happy to meet Steve.
Steve takes off ... the angels have to talk to Charlie. The angels vote
and say they like Steve. Kris thinks Danny is the most obvious since he
was hardly burned. Jill wants to re-join the firm for this case. Charlie
agrees to have her back. Jill and Kris take off. Charlie tells Bosley
to check out Steve after Jill leaves. Jill and Steve groove to the
exciting disco music at the press party at the track. Paul shows off his
car to the public. Jackie Stewart is there ... he thinks it looks good
but wants to see how it races. Jill gets ready for a try-out. Steve
asks an old friend, Andrea, about Paul. He pumps her for info abou the
new car. Andrea suggests a private meeting might help losen her tongue.
She kisses Paul. Kris sees it. Steve goes after Kris and tries to
explain it to her. Jill returns and they don't have a chance to talk.
Steve brings up Andrea's kiss to Jill to get it out of the way. Andrea
and Danny have a shouting match. Danny threatens her. The angels wonder
why Danny is involved with Andrea. Sabrina makes a bad joke about grease
monkeys. Kelly goes to talk to Danny. Kelly is playing a magazine
reporter. Kelly offers to pay him off for inside info. Danny tells Kelly
that he knows who may have set up the explosion. He wants a private
meeting with Kelly and she says no but they might talk later. Sabrina
follows him. Danny meets with Steve and Sabrina gets pictures.
The angels are convinced that Steve is their man. Though there is no firm
evidence. Kris doesn't want to believe it. Sabrina tells Kris that Jill
has to be told. Jill and Steve return from shopping - happy. Kris has a
very serious look on her face. Kris has questions to ask. Steve agrees
to let her ask the questions. Steve admits everything that Kris says.
Steve says he doesn't like Ferrino. Kris shows Steve the photo of him and
Danny. Steve is not too happy about that. He tells Jill she is not
driving the car and refuses to say what he and Danny were talking about.
He leaves. Jill is not too happy. Kris appologizes. Steve sneaks into
the race track. Jill is there watching. She reports to the angels that
Steve is headed for Ferrino's garage. Steve gets into the car and takes
off. Kris and Kelly watch. Jill and Sabrina watch as Steve races around
the track. They don't understand what is going on. Paul arrives. He is
not too happy. Jill says Steve is testing it for her. Steve heds back to
where Jill is and gives the "OK" signal. Jill smiles. The car explodes.
Jill, Kelly, and Sabrina walk along the beach. They ask Jill to stay with
them but Jill wants to be alone. She just wants the angels to find out
what Danny is up to. Kris brings Jill some coffee or tea. Kris suggests
that they go away for a while. Jill says it won't work ... she can't
forget Steve. Jill and Kris hug and cry. Andrea and Danny discuss the
accident. They don't like it that Steve was killed but they have a lot
going for them. They both threaten each other. The angels see Andrea
leave the trailer where Danny is. Kelly and Sabrina confront Danny while
Bosley drives them away. Danny says the accident was an accident. They
tell Danny they are going to the police. Danny said he made the bombs but
no one was supposed to get killed. He also says he didn't plant the
bombs. He says Paul planted the bombs because he wanted the car
destroyed. Andrea and Paul discuss the accident and Jill overhears. She
doesn't understand. Paul says his wondercar is a flop so he had to
destroy it. Jill asks if she was supposed to be killed. Paul says he
was desperate. Jill takes off and Paul follows her in a motorcycle. A
chase begins and the other angels arrive. Paul crashes into a fixture
and falls off his bike. Paul is caught. He appologizes to Jill. Jill
just looks sad.
Back at the beach, Jill looks happier. Kris has a surprise. The angels
and Bosley have made a picnic for them all. Bosley says he made
everything that's in the basket. Sabrina notices the toothpick says

Pat Delany as Ingrid; Amy Stryker as Eve Perkins
And Marie Windsor as Eve Le Deux
Special Guest Star: Mercedes McCambridge as Norma
Co-Starring: Bobbie Bresee as Amy; Tracie Hunt as Guard
Actress Eve Le Deux is electrocuted in a hot tub at a spa for famous people.
Her neice from Ohio doesn't think it was an accident, so she brings her
life savings to California to hire Charlie to investigate. Charlie takes
the case but not the money; he does it as a favor, since he used to be on
the stage with Eve. She was writing her memoirs when she was killed.
Kris gets a job at the spa as an exercize instructor. Sabrina gets a job
at the spa as a diet chef. Kelly poses as a guest at the spa. Actress
Norma is a wheelchair-ridden guest at the spa. Zhora is a mammoth physical
therapist at the spa. Kelly's room in bugged and there is a peep hole.
All three Angels meet in the sauna, since it seems to be the only room that
isn't under surveilance. Kris is the only one who likes saunas, so she
remains after the other two leave, only to get locked in by Zhora (who then
turns the temperature to the max). One of the other Angels comes back and
breaks the sauna window with a fire extinguisher (for no apparent reason) a
second before removing the lock and letting Kris out.
Bosley's phone messages never get to Sabrina, and men are not allowed on
the premesis, so he poses as an electrician, who is reluctantly let in
(after he causes a blackout). Amy (a blonde who was working by the hot tub
the night of the "accident" was paid to split, and also threatened by
Zhora. Zhora and the doctor are blackmailing Norma (and others) by finding
out secrets via hypnosis. Norma killed Eve and Zhora saw her. Eve wrote a
lot of nasty things about Norma in her memoirs. [OEH]

Year: 1978
Title: Winning is for Losers
Written by: Ray Brenner
Directed by: Cliff Bole
Guest Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis as Linda Frye;
Gary Bisig as Bill Montclair;
Casey Kasem as Tom Rogers; Ray Wise as Evan Wilcox;
George Pentecost as George Ritlin;
and E.J. Peaker as Donna Dawson
Co-Starring: Buck Young as Bartender, Rita Gomez as Chambermaid
The show opens with Tom Rogers (TV announcer for KBEX) at the 18th hole of
the Cyprus Pines Womens Invitational. Linda Frye (the new young
professional on the tour this year) is holding on to a one-stroke lead over
the defending champ (two years in a row) Donna Dawson. Kris is in the
small crowd watching the event, as is a loner in GI gear with "EV Wilcox"
on the pocket. Donna misses a short putt, allowing Linda to win.
Linda and Kris are friends from way back. They haven't seen each other in
four years (in Alcapolco). As Kris drives Linda off the course in her golf
cart, someone shoots at them with a high-powered rifle. Kris convinces her
to let the Angels help her out once she learns that Linda has been getting
threats for a month.
Linda's manager (Bill Montclair, whom she has known since childhood) is
getting into the act now. He's wanted her to go to the police, but since
this tourney is an invitational, she might not be able to participate if
there is bad press surrounding her.
Bosley and the Angels check into Cyprus Pines as guests, getting four rooms
near Linda's. Bosley mentions to Charlie that the only way he'd be able to
afford a room at CP is to get it by the hour--and even then by the time he
gets his bags to the room he'd have to leave.
Charlie hires a bimbo as a private instructor to brush up on his "stroke".
"I'm ready for LaVerne and Shirley if they can help us." --Bill. Bill
hits on Kelly. Some bald guy hits on Kelly, then Sabrina, asking if they
want to model racquets.
They switch Linda's room so no one knows where she is. Right after they
say this a brick flies through the window with a note to prove them wrong.
Bosley has been a fan of Donna's for a long time, so he volunteers to check
her out for corruptness. He finds her in the bar sucking down Bloody
Maries. He asks (playing Devil's Advocate) what she would do to win the
tourney. Would she do *anything*? She says "yes". When he meets up with
her later, he says he's been a fan of hers since he first saw her ten years
ago. She and Tom seem to be an item, but she has never been married.
Sabrina thinks the guy in army gear deserves looking into, especially since
he's always wearing rumpled fatigues but wearing expensive shoes and a gold
watch.
They decide to move Linda to her house for better protection. She has an
estate that her father left her--about half an hour away from CP. Kris
decides to stay with her there. Bill and Kelly drive them out and then
leave. Linda gives Kris a tour of the estate and tells her that she wants
to turn it into a sanctuary for underprivileged kids (no wonder she has no
friends). She has a two-hole golf course in the back yard, but when she
and Kris cross the stream to have a look at it, the wooden bridge snaps in
two (it had been sawed), sending the two girls into the water (which
someone seems to have filled with two crocs). Linda gets her foot stuck on
the bridge. Luckily, Kris is an expert gator-wrestler and keeps the
critters away from Linda until Bill arrives back.
Bill now wants Linda to pull out of the tourney. Sabrina catches Wilcox
outside Linda's room when they are back at the hotel. All he wants is for
Linda to autograph a picture he has of her.
We find out that Bill received $100,000 from a couple of goons to scare
Linda out of the tourney. He never wanted her to get hurt--they are the
ones taking pot shots at her and filling the stream with gators. She still
won't pull out of the tourney, so they want him to shoot her. He refuses
and threatens to alert the police. They don't seem to want him to, and
when they pull a gun--a struggle ensues with a bullet hitting Bill.
Kelly and Sabrina show up at Bill's door, so the goons exit through the
window. The Angels swipe a key from the chambermaid who happens to be
wandering by and open the door. Bill dies a minute later as he speaks to
Sabrina. In their haste to leave, one of the goons leaves his sport coat
along with a room key. The room is empty by the time they get there, but a
gun patch is found on the floor. Charlie tells them the room is in the
name of E Wilcox.
Bosley decides to be more aggressive in his questioning of Donna, but finds
out that she doesn't have a clue of any of the goings on. He apologizes
for the accusations.
They pan by the leader board at the tourney. Frye is on top, followed by
Dawson. Next in line are Lopez, Young Carner, Blalock(?), Ranlin(?),
Hayes, etc. Linda is one stroke ahead again, but by the 16th hole Donna is
one stroke in the lead. Linda ties it up by the 18th hole. Donna has a
fifteen foot putt; Linda has a ten foot putt. Donna misses her putt and
Kelly sees a flash of light from the gunman over the hill. They are able
to sneak all around the hill without arousing suspicion from either the
gunmen or the golf folks before they have a chance to shoot Linda (which
they have to do BEFORE she putts so Donna will win the tourney).
The Angels find out that Linda's father left the estate to her with
$100,000 in back taxes that had to be paid by her 21st birthday. Bill was
just trying to help her out, but didn't have faith that she'd be able to do
it with her golf winnings. [OEH]

Special Guest Stars: Gretchen Wyler as Claire Rossen
And Peter Donat as Peter Russell
Co-Starring: Lenore Woodward as Mrs. Brindleberry;

The show begins at the ROSSMORE INSTITUTE FOR PSYCHIC RESEARCH. In one
room, Peter is in one room while a girl is in another room. They are
trying some psychichic tests. The researchers note the girl is frightened.
There was a disruption the previous night. Peter notices a presence.
The girl thinks someone is in the room with her. There is a shadow. The
girl starts speaking a male voice telling his Aunt Clair to leave him
alone. The woman with the scientists, Clair says that was her nephew who
has been dead for five years. At the office, Clair is a friend of Bosley.
They play bridge together. Bosley thinks it's all a hoax. Claire
explains her nephew was killed when he hit a tree on her property on his
motorcycle. She donated the estate to the research institute. Bosley
thinks the main researcher is setting her up so she won't withdraw her
support. Claire wants the angels to prove she is not being swindles.
Kris gets to play a researcher and Sabrina plays her subject. Kris puts
her hair in a bun and wears glasses. On the way to the house, they see
the tree Martin hit when he died. Sabrina pretends she is uneasy being
at the house ... she feels someone was killed there. The doctor thinks
Sabrina might be a psychichyic. Sabrina predicts the phone will ring. And it
does. The doctor shows them the viewing centre. Eric, the other
gifted worker, is introduced to Kris and Sabrina. Eric gets a strange
feeling about Kris when he touches her. Sabrina says tonight's experiment
won't work. Sabrina suddenly has a flash of the previous night's
experiment. The doctor is impressed. Another experiment is set up and
it begins. Peter is the researcher. It's the same girl again. The
camera makes a point of showing us that the whole experiment is seen
via cameras in the room. Peter feels another presence. Kathy feels it
too. Someone enters the room where Kathy is. Martin talks again and
Kathy is attacked. The angels rush to the room and find Kathy dead.
The angels are a little upset. No human had access to Kathy. Kelly
seems a little confused since she wasn't involved. The angels decide to
investigate it like a normal case. They will study the suspect: Martin.
A few puns are tossed around about the killer already being dead. Sabrina
checks out the tree where Martin died. Kris and Sabrina work out a coding
system. Sabrina goes well enough to get the doctor believe them. We
learn Peter is the star of his own show. Kelly comes to visit Peter. She
says she is looking to see who killed Kathy. Peter says Dr. Holden is
skeptical about him because he does show business stuff. Peter says he is
sorry about Kathy but doesn't think they will find her killer in 'this
world'. Kris meets Eric outside. Eric says he sees brief flashes and he
doesn't really like it. Eric says it's not a gift. Eric suddenly has a
flash about Kris ... at the Police Academy. Kelly goes to visit Kathy's
grandmother. She likes Kelly. She says that Kathy got interested in
the occult five years ago from her boyfriend who died. Her boyfriend's
name was Martin. Suddenly the chandelier starts to rattle as do other
things in the room. The television reception goes out and glass starts
to break all around. The television explodes and then it all stops.
Back at the office, Kelly explains what happens and says someone was there
when all of the stuff happened. Kris mentions Eric's flash. Kelly says
Eric was the only person who wasn't in view when Kathy died. Bosley has
almost finished his biography of Martin. Bosley goes to see a father
about Martin. He says Martin had a temper and may have tried to kill
someone. Bosley talks to Martin's coach and to some bikers. Claire shows
Bosley that Martin sent her tapes rather than writing. Claire doesn't
believe Martin was a bad boy. Claire tells Bosley that Martin quit school
and bought the motorcycle. Bosley says Martin was upset because of Kathy,
not Claire. She wants to know that Martin didn't kill himself. Bosley
says he was too upset to even think about killing himself. Bosley says
they want to try to contact Martin again. Claire agrees, reluctantly.
Peter doesn't want to risk Sabrina being killed if they try to contact
Martin again. Kelly arrives, with no cover. She will sit in to help
investigate. Claire threatens Peter and says he will help them or be
fired. There is a thunderstorm. Everyone is sent to their rooms. Kelly
is given Martin's old room. Eric comes to see Kris. Eric tells Kris
that her plan won't work. Eric says Martin is dead but he had an
incredible rage. Eric says all of their lives are in danger if they stay
for the test tonight. Kris leaves her room and the assistant sees her.
The power goes out as Kelly sleeps. Some glasses start dancing.
Kelly freaks and leaves the room. She goes to see Kris. She tells Kris
about the dancing glasses. They both go to see Sabrina. She isn't there.
They see a motorcylce racing toward the house. They run out. Sabrina is
already on her way down the stairs. Martin's voice shouts out. Sabrina
sees a speaker on a mantle. She finds an old room and notices wires set
up leading to other rooms. She traces it to a secret room where she finds
a tape player set up. Kris and Kelly say that Sabrina has disappeared.
Sabrina plays with the tape. Sabrina finds another machine. Sabrina
shows the angels that a videotape was used to keep Peter on the monitor so
he could kill Kathy. The angels decide it's time to rest Martin's spirit.
Peter sets him video in motion and gets his control box and leaves the
room. Peter points a gun on Sabrina and takes her hostage. They head
outside. Sabrina fights with Peter on the stairs. He runs away and
Sabrina chases him. Suddenly a motorcycle arrives and goes straight for
Peter. It's Bosley. Peter is a little scared.
Eric is at the office. He says he knew there was danger but just didn't
know what was up. Peter is revealed to be a special effects wizard. He
wanted to take over the institute. Bosley says it proves everything is
a fraud. Eric brings up a skinny-dipping incident from high school to
convince Bosley he is not a fake! The angels are pleased! [TDC]

Samantha had a crush on Buckley. Jill and Kris decide that Sam was lying.
Jill still has a funny feeling though. She decides to look around a bit.
Buckley's men return ... they have hidden the body. The will transfer him
to the boat tonight. Jill finds the dead man's car and the men also find
Jill. Jill hides in a laundry basket and then takes off.
The team decides to take the case. Kelly will become versed in the ways
of horticulture. Sabrina will be Buckley's temporary maid. Kris and Jill
will watch over Samantha. Sabrina gives Buckley's maid a ticket to
Ireland and Sabrina takes over for her and gets his finger prints. Kris
decides to head off with Bosley to look for the dead man's car. The
junk dealer shows them the car ... a small cube of metal! Then they get
the license plate from him though. Jill and Samantha go for a day at the
manicurist. Jill goes to check in with the others and tells Sam to stay
where she is. Sabrina cleans up a storm. The doorbell rings and it's
Kelly. Kelly and Sabrina have some fun with each other and Sabrina,
taking a play from something Kelly says, tells Buckley her name is Kelly
O'Tulips. Kelly is not impressed to meet Buckley and he appologizes for
being rude to her. Kelly tells Buckley they want to put his flowers in
a show. Jill returns to the salon to find Samantha gone.
The angels figure Samantha has returned to Buckley's place. Buckley
catches her and he wants to have a chat with her. Samantha gets nervous
and Buckley asks is she saw the murder. Samantha gets scared and then
the doorbell rings. It's Kelly. Samantha takes the cue and rushes out.
Buckley calls one of his men over to his penthouse. Samantha returns
home and the angels are there. Jill and Sam pack and head out to the
beach house. One of Buckley's men follows them. Bosley says Buckley has
no finger prints. The angels are worried ... Buckley knows Sam saw the
murder and he has a yacht. Buckley decides both Jill and Samantha will
have to be killed. Jill and Samantha have a fun evening of doing each
other's hair and drinking. Samantha wants to ask Jill a question about
boys but is interrupted by the two hoods. They grab both Jill and
Samantha and order them to get dressed so they can take them away.
They take Samantha and Jill to Buckley's boat. Buckley will come to the
boat in the morning to kill them both. Kris returns to the beach house
in the morning. They find they both gone. They decide to head for the
yacht. Samantha realizes she can fit through a hole in the roof if they
break the window. Jill says it's too dangerous until the hoods start the
engine up. They realize it's worth a try. Samantha gets free and tries
to sneak off the boat. She decides to sneak into the main compartment
instead and free Jill. Buckley arrives at the boat. Samantha picks the
lock. Jill and her are free. They see Buckley coming so they sneak out
through a window on the side. Buckley tells the goons to kill the girls
but they tell Buckley to do it themselves. They find them missing and
the usual chase begins. The others arrive and head for the yacht. Jill
puts Sam in a small boat so she can get off the pier. Buckley goes after
Jill while the other goons go after Samantha. She is cornered but
Sabrina arrives and saves the day. Jill manages to get Buckley all by
herself by jumping on him!
Bosley says Buckley was a jewel thief. Everyone appologizes to Samantha
for not believing in her. Samantha has a venus fly-trap for Bosley.
Bosley feeds it a pretzel ... he likes it! [TDC]

Joan Freeman gets hit by a truck outside a church. Her 35-year-old son
Billy Freeman might be the son of a rich successful businessman. The hall
of records gets torched during Joan's funeral, so there are no clues
relating to her or her son.

Billy was into airplanes and surmise that he must still be interested.

It turns out that the person behind all this is Miss Wales, the lady who
has been taking care of the wheelchair-ridden businessman. If Billy isn't

Guest Starring: Don Galloway as Gorman and tracy Brooks Swope as Sally
Special Guest Star: Lloyd Bochner as Jellek
Co-Starring: Eddie Firestone as Norton; Barry Quinn as Ed Jarvis;
John Voldstad as Stashu; Buddy Lewis as Man at Airport
Tom Norton is shot at the airport as he is trying to call the Townsend
Agency from a phone booth. He gets the answering machine (Charlie has a
recorded greeting, not Bosley) and dies in the middle of leaving a message.
Tom was calling to warn Charlie that someone wanted to hire him to kill off
one of the Angels, but he "didn't want any part of no killing, leastwise it
concerns you, Charlie". Tom owes Chalie a favor for getting him off easy
for earlier transgressions in life. Unfortunately, Tom's "employer" shoots
him before he can tell the machine which Angel is the target.
Sabrina has her friend Eddie at the Police Lab check out the tape to
determine what the noises inthe background are. He huesses that it is an
airplane, and from the tone of the engine, it must be LAX. In all the
hours it took them to get to work, listen to the tape, take it to the
police, have the tape analysed, and drive to the airport NO ONE has noticed
a dead body. Must have been a slow day at the terminals.
Kelly calls in the homocide and a police car arrives within a minute. Must
not be the same LA police we're used to.
This whole time Charlie is sailing and can not be reached.
Kelly has a blonde houseguest Sally Miles. They decide to take her to
Pacifica Hotel to keep her out of the way in case Kelly is the target. The
hitman follows the five (in Bosley's roomy station wagon) to the hotel.
Sabrina and Kelly check out Norton's house for clues. Sabrina finally
notices the hitman following them, so he runs them off the road.
Sabrina and Kris decide to split up so they can tell more easily which of
the two is the target. Kris picks up a tail. After the requisite
high-speed chase sequence, she finds out it is a foreign kid who wants to
take a picture of her.
Sabrina drives her orange car (licence 147 UBO) home and is shot at (but
missed) when she is trying to enter her aprtment building. He then shoots
her tire out so she can't follow him.
they find out that Norton's cellmate in prison hired him as a hitman.
Kelly is the real target and is kidnapped when she gets home. She lives in
a yellow house with no fence. House number is 14428 in this episode.
Kris, Sabrina, and Bosley speed over to Kelly's house when there is no
answer on her phone (I thought they all had answering machines?) They find
Wilson sitting in a car outside, which distracts the hitman inside long
enough for Kelly to get her gun, load it, and fire at him twice.
In the end it is revealed that Wilson is Sally's fiance, but Kelly sent her
to prison five years ago for embezzalement.
Since they worked Sunday, the Angels want an extra few days off, but a
museum offered them big bucks to find missing paintings. The girls sneak
out of the office when Bosley isn't looking. [OEH]

Title: Angels in the Stretch
Written by: Bob and Esther Mitchell
Directed by: Lawrence Doheny
Guest Starring: John David Cardon as Kevin Ryan; Deirdre Berthrong as Valerie;
James Gammon as Gates; Dick Bakalyan as Thad Roper;
Sidney Klute as Les Ferrar; and Joyce Jameson as Gini
Special Guest Star: David Hedison as Carter Gillis
Co-Starring: Al Hopson as Fred; Jeremy West as Waiter
This episode opens at the racetrack. A betting man (Les Ferrar) and his
daughter Valerie are there watching the horses train. Les notices
something strange about one of the horses and gets clubbed when he tries to
get closer to the horse to inspect it. The killers move him into the
stable to make it look like an accident.
Valerie hires the angels before going back to school. Sabrina wants a job
as an exercize boy so she can work up to being a jockey. Kelly poses as a
magazine writer. The stable boy (Kevin Ryan) was there when Les got
clubbed. Bosley and Kris pose as horse buyers from Arizona. They offer to
buy Perdition for $12,000 when they see Sabrina exercizing the horse. No
one thinks Perdition has any heart, but they won't sell it anyway.
Sabrina makes a lucky guess that they are switching horses. Thad Roper is
the trainer. Gates (the main guy that killed Les) catches Sabrina, Kris,
and Bosley nosing around the horses and would have killed Sabrina with a
shovel, but he has a heart attack and dies trying.
Perdition has a twin that has been brought in from Mexico. [Amazing how a
professional racing horse isn't as fast as a horse that has just been
sitting around Mexico and has never raced a day in its life.]
Gates pastured the real Perdition at Gini's diner. He was going to pick
him up at the end of the month. The guy Sabrina is schmoozing up to (Mr
Gillis) is the brains behind the whole operation. He has been losing a lot
of money. His father built a fortune starting as a stable boy. He tells
Kevin to kill Sabrina if he has to (she's been asking a lot of questions).
The angels switch in the real (slow) horse for the race and see who is
betting heavily on the race. Kevin puts $500 on Perdition at 30 to 1 odds
to win. A bit later, Mr Gillis puts a fortune on him at 60 to 1 odds.
Sabrina pulls a gun on Kevin. He talks a while, then wrestles her to the
ground.
In the epilog, we find out that Bosley has become hooked on horse racing
and has a hidden radio on him during Charlie's call. He loses whatever he
was beting on. Chalie makes a new rule about "no betting during company
time".
Someone gets murdered at the racetrack when they notice that someone is
switching horses to make money. Sabrina just happens to be a professional
horse jockey, even though she seems to be *much* to tall to be an effective
jockey. [OEH]

Charlie sends the angels and Bosley on a three-day vacation in Arizona.
Charlie is picking up the tab--they can have Dom Perignon every night if
they want. Bosley drives the four-some in his station wagon.
The town they will be staying in is where Kris' uncle (Paul Danvers) is the
sheriff (since he retired from the Phoenix police force) and her aunt
(Lydia Danvers) is the mayor. Kris warns everyone that the average age of
the townspeople is somewhere around 60. They wanted to relax!
Five bad guys kidnap the 25 women of Payton (a town with a population of
63). Just before the angels arrive, Paul is kidnapped and brought to the
dirt road where all the old ladies are standing around a bus. They plan to
hold them hostage for a prisoner (syndicate strongman George Camaris) the
FBI are bringing through the small town.
The angels arrive and look for Paul. The bad guys have planted a tall
young blond guy in the sheriff's office that Kris assumes is the new deputy
that Paul wrote her about. Kris heads over to her aunt's house to see if
Paul is there. She is in the middle of a meeting with Joe Weatherby and
Tom, and none of the three seem to pleased about having outside visitors in
town.
Lydia won't tell the angels anything about what is going on. The angels go
to the local hotel to unpack while they wait for Paul to show up. When
they get there, the owner says they are full up and doesn't recall KRis
calling earlier making reservations for four single rooms.
They head for the other hotel [two hotels in a 63-person town?] only to
find that they are booked full as well (thanks to a call from the owner of
the first hotel). As they head back to their car, they see the deputy
inspecting Bosley's broken head lights. They weren't broken when they
started the trip, and if it had been someone backing into them there would
be more damage than just the headlights, so it must have been vandals. The
deputy tells them that they get a lot of juvenile delinquints coming
through this town.
Sabrina notices that there are no women in the town (except for Lydia).
They hed back to Lydia's house. The deputy follows them there undetected,
planning on killing them. The angels press Lydia again, but she still
won't give any answers. Bosley just happens to see the deputy aiming a
rifle at them through the trees and gets all four women to duck in time. A
shoot-out occurs, ending in the death of the two bad guys.
Lydia freaks out, telling them that they have just killed the only chance
of Paul coming out of this alive. She finally tells them the whole story.
When she tells Kris that Paul has a police radio with him, she takes
another police radio and pretends to be a trucker talking on a CB radio.
One of the three bad guys at the bus gets tired of her and tells Paul to
get her off that frequency.
Paul manages to tell Kris where he is without his captors figuring out what
he is doing. The angels borrow some of Lydia's "old lady" clothes and the
four women sneak into the group of old ladies that are being held hostage
by the bus.
When the two deputies don't call, the three remaining bad guys decide to
waste the 26 prisoners. The angels turn the tables on the bad guys and
free Paul.
In the epilogue, Kris tells everyone that Lydia thinks being the mayor is
boring, and wants Paul to deputize her. Kelly agrees, saying "I think
that's a good idea, Kris; your uncle could deputize maybe two or three of
those ladies, give them assignments by phone, let them do all the work, and
he just lays back and relaxes." [OEH]

The 'angels' arrive at the local sports arena. Edna Hatter is expecting
them to inspect the safe in the main office. The old coot, Edna, can't
see a thing without her coke-bottle glasses. They look like the angels
until she puts her glasses on. Then we see that it's just three dim-wits
posing as Sabrina, Kris, and Kelly. "Sabrina" gets Edna to show them the
safe. Edna opens it for them. There's $25,000 in it. Edna is put into
the private washroom by "Sabrina" while "Kelly" and "Kris" swipe the money
from the safe. Edna isn't too happy to be locked in!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Charlie's call is late and so is Kris. Kris
finally shows up and appologizes for missing Charlie's call. Bosley
informs her he hasn't called yet. Charlie calls and say he is calling
'early' ... he is sitting with a detective. Charlie tells Bosley that
the angels are going to be arrested for robbery. Charlie explains what
happened to Edna. He says Edna positively identified them. Charlie
says that Bosley has to keep them at the office ... or else they might
try and go undercover. Bosley hands them a key and says he'll hold them
as soon as they get in... The angels take off and head for the Rochester
Club ... the last men's only club in the city. They will stay there! The
angels realize they have to clear their names before the story hits the
papers. Meanwhile, at a nightclub, Mickey gets his money from Sam Punch.
It isn't enough to pay off Asher, the guy he owes money to. Mickey needs
to set up another job for the 'angels'. Mickey, in Charlie's voice, calls
the owner of a big department store and says he wants to send his angels
over to check and see how their security is. Mickey tells Punch to go see
Asher to try and stall him. Punch tells Asher that Mickey has half of the
money and can get the other half in 24 hours. Punch tells Asher that
Mickey is onto something big. Asher wants to know all about it ... and
Punch doesn't have any choice but to tell him. Kris confronts Edna and
she thinks she's a reporter at first. Kris finds out the blonde was the
same girl in a mattress commercial on television every night. Kris and
the angels try to get Edna to realize they are the real angels but not the
girls who robbed her. Edna freaks and thinks they are out to kill her.
She drops her groceries and screams. The angels squeal off in their car.
The 'angels' arrive at the department store and get the assistant manager
to help them check out the security. They get the security guard to let
them steal some stuff to see if the staff notice anything. Sabrina gets
the manager to let her see where the cash is. Kris steals lots of
jewelry while the sales lady is getting her some stuff to look at. Kelly
steals a mink coat with the security guard's help. As the angels are
getting ready to leave, the manager comes out looking dazed and she tells
the guard to get them ... they stole the cash. The angels fly away down
the street. "Sabrina" is hit by a van ... "Kris" steals her purse and her
and "Kelly" take off. Meanwhile the angels visit KBEX to see the mattress
commercial. Voila ... it's "Kris". The angels agree she does look like
Kris ... "in an odd sort of way". They learn the name of the girl and
find out they will have to see Sam Punch to get her address. Kelly
realizes she has to use a disguise or else he'll realize who she is if he
is involved! She shows up in Punch's office and asks for info about Janet
Ames "Kris" and he goes to look for her address. Punch gets call from
one of the 'angels' and she tells him "Sabrina" is in the hospital. Punch
has to leave to meet with the "angels". Bosley arrives at the hopsital and
identifies "Sabrina" as Sabrina Duncan. Bosley then takes her finger
prints. Mickey shows up at Asher's and gives him the money he owes.
Asher informs Mickey that he is going to work for him now. Asher wants to
set up a big job. Mickey explains he can't - one of the girls got hurt.
Asher tells him to get another one ... he has no choice.
At the apartment, Kelly says she almost got the info but Punch had to
leave. Kelly went shopping with Charlie's credit card. Bosley shows up
and informs them he knows who is impersonating Sabrina. Her name is
Carol Brewster. Bosley informs them that he is letting the police think
they are the guilty party so that they can get the head man. Sabrina
thinks it's a good idea. She will try to get into the group ... but she
has to be a "Sabrina" look-a-like rather than "Sabrina". Sandy Brewster
shows up at Punch's office where he and Mickey are discussing who they
can get to replace Carol. Sandy is Carol's sister. AKA Sabrina Duncan.
Mickey explains that Carol needs legal help and that Sandy can help her
pay for it if he helps him out. Mickey brings Sandy to the other angels
and announces they are going to do one more job. Sandy meets Annie
Collins "Kelly" and Janet. They think it's Carol at first. Mickey
informs them they have one more job. Janet seems worried but Annie thinks
it's great if they can get lots of money. Mickey says it's a no-risk job
and it will pay off big. Mickey won't say who his new partner is. Mickey
tells Asher that he is set. Mickey calls the head of a think-tank and
arranges for the angels to come over and look at the security system. The
papers in the safe are worth over a million dollars. Asher and Toby
discuss Mickey ... Asher is only using the gimmick ... Mickey and the
angels will be killed tomorrow night.
Mickey explains the plan. Sabrina gets Mickey to do his Charlie voice.
Sabrina is amazed. Charlie will call the head of the think tank and
tell him it was a set-up. Meanwhile, Bosley will get the other angels
arrested so that Kelly and Kris can join the team. It's no problem for
Bosley after Sabrina goes to get some gum. The police thank Bosley for
turning in the angels. Meanwhile, the real angels meet with George
Simmons, the boss and they go ahead with the plan. The security people
weren't told since there might be a leak somewhere. They do everything
according to plan and let Mickey and Asher in. It doesn't take long for
Mickey to realize that the angels are fake! Toby is locked in the safe.
The security force arrives ... and takes control ... they work for Asher.
But the angels take their chances and turn the tables. Simmons calls some
real security guards.
Back at the office, the angels relax. Charlie calls ... doing an
imitation. So Kelly follows ... as does Kris. Sabrina doesn't bother
since she's being impersonating herself for two days. Bosley says he
does Sydney Greenstreet. Charlie pretends Bosley does a bad job and
Bosley takes off. The angels agree he was great though! [TDC]

We begin this episode at Freddie's Disco (blech!). The music is just
dreadful. The clothes are even worse! Harry Owens is the dj. He is the
big draw at the club. But the owner, Freddie, isn't too keen on paying him
too much. Outside, a bum (James Hanna) is hanging around the club.
Freddie tells him to get lost and the bum says a few unkind things.
Several people all look at the bum as he walks away. The bum gets onto a
bus and then gets off somewhere. Someone else gets off too and follows
him. Whoever it is is wearing a trench coat and they have a belt to
strangle the bum.
A senior citizens committee has hired the angels to investigate the death
of seniors. The angels have to check out the people involved with the
previous victims. Sabrina questions the daughter of another man killed.
She says her father followed her and tried to scam money but would blow
all the money he got. [A sandwich costs $0.90!] She mentions that her
father was near the disco before he was killed. The angels realize that
the disco is involved [gee ... they should have looked at the title of
the episode! :-)] The third victim was also near the disco. So the
angels will concentrate on the disco. Oh yeah! Bosley gets them covers.
Kris is his date. Freddie covers his tracks and asks Harry to lie for
him. Harry wants his demands met first. Freddie agrees. Of course, this
means he didn't do it! Some guy in some really awful clothes is the
professional dancer at the place. Kris thinks she's lucky ... she gets to
dance with the Casanova. He's a dance instructor. [I hope I can survive
this horrible music and finish this synopsis ... I have a headache]. Kris
gets to dance with some other guy. Meanwhile, Freddie is met by Sabrina
who writes for a magazine. We finally meet Marion, his wife, and Connie,
his mistress. The older guy teaches disco to seniors. He also says he
hates seniors ... he thinks it would be okay if they were all gone.
It seems as though all the suspects don't have cars ... they take the bus.
One of Freddie's men talks to Sabrina and he tries to steer her away from
a focus on the murders. He seems upset with Freddie because Freddie took
his suggestion, but only after he made it appear that it was his idea.
Marion wants to know where Freddie was last night. Kris arrives to talk
to Freddie. She wants to do him a favor. Oh ... the Casanova is Mario.
Kris wants to be Mario's partner. Marion is ticked off at this and storms
out when Freddie agrees to it. Kelly lets Harry listen to some music and
he likes it. But he won't play it unless Kelly agrees to perform some
'fringe benefits' for him. Kelly will think about it. Sabrina tries to
pump Freddie for info about last night ... he gives her his alibi and
says he'll sue her if she prints anything else. Marion is drunk and tells
Kris she didn't get her job because she can dance. Connie tells Freddie
that Kelly, Sabrina, and Kris should be axed. Freddie wants to know what
they are up to. The angels learn Harry has a car and doesn't take the
bus. They wonder if Freddie is their man. Mario arrives, he wants to
walk with Kris. Kelly goes to pitch another record to Harry at his place.
Harry invites Kelly in. Kelly says she isn't sure about performing the
extras for Harry. Harry says his car is broken and he needs a lift. He
offers Kelly a drink first. Hmm ... drinking and driving? Freddie warns
Harry that Kelly could be a private detective. Harry tells Freddie that
everything is going to be okay ...
Harry says he's been all wrong about Kelly ... she's not fragile like he
thought. He grabs her by the neck. There is a knock at the door.
Harry's father arrives. He and Harry were to make their yearly visit to
the cemetary. He forgot. Harry's father is disappointed. Kelly takes
off. Harry's father won't stay ... until he is not ashamed of his son.
Harry looks very very upset. He says "I'm going to kill you". Harry
jumps on the bus. Connie confronts Kris and says she knows she is a
phony. Kris says Connie has something to hide. They get into a cat
fight. Freddie arrives and stops them. The angels come clean to Freddie
when Kelly arrives. They tell Freddie they aren't working for Marion.
Kelly tells Freddie he has to help them ... he has no choice. Harry tells
Kelly to get out. Kelly refuses. Harry tells Mario and the older man
that they are expendable. The old man threatens Harry. Harry calls
Freddie and Freddie tells Harry that the girls are after the bus stranger.
Harry gets a little bit more upset. And even more upset at the older man
when he starts imagining he is his father.
The angels are pretty sure that Harry is the strangler. Kelly and Kris go
to talk to him and find a tape recording going ... and Harry gone. Mario
says his father is taking a walk on the beach. Kelly is worried that

Colorado. Mr Chadway at the Pentegon is an old friend of Charlie's (natch)
and wants the Angels to guard Carl Hansworth, the President's envoy to the
UN. The bad guys know all the G-Men, so the Angels are brought in as

The G-Men Carl to pull out of the skiing competition until they sort things
out, but he says if he gives into this terrorist attack, it will only
invite further attempts.
Sabrina and Carl race together. Hansworth comes in a fraction of a second
earlier, but both have times that allow them to proceed to the next round
of eliminations.
Paulo Donettelli takes Sabrina on a picnic. When two goons show up,
Sabrina races off before they even get close to her and Paulo. They

The two main goons leave Paulo to watch after Sabrina as they prepare to
capture Carl. Sabrina finds out that Paulo's father was a professor in
Rome until he and the Patriots for a Free Society spoke out about
corruption in banking. Paulo was a student. Both were asked to leave the
institution. Sabrina explains to Paulo that at the start, the cause made
sense, but when you have to resort to using guns, it isn't a cause anymore.
She calls Kelly and tells them that she's alright and will be right down.
Paulo follows behind her but doesn't shoot at her. Halfway down, Sabrina
realizes she's moving too slow to intercept Carl, and steals a snowmobile
from a few people who are standing around.
In the final showdown, a G-Man ro two get winged and Sabrina hits Vincenti
Donettelli with her snowmobile. He takes his time, but eventually dies. She talks the G-Men into going easy on Paulo. [OEH]

Kris and Bosley go to meet a potential client who contacted Kris. He was
very nervous when Kris met him. Bosley relucantly agrees to go. Kris
arrives first at the meeting place and there are men there watching her.
One of the men comes forward and suggests they take a ride. He pulls a gun
on her and forces her into it. Bosley arrives and the men start shooting.
Bosley can't even chase after her since his tire gets blown.
Back at the office, Ed Jackson was a witness and he is there. He saw the
sign on the car door. Bosley receives a package. It is a telegram saying
they will contact them about returning Jill. There has been a mix-up.
Charlie calls Jill and she flies from Montreal to L.A. Jill isn't too
impressed with the leads. But they are ready to jump in. Meanwhile, at
Georgian Acres, Bosley and the gang arrive. Bosley immediately recognizes
the two men outside. They take off again, realizing they need to do some
checking first. At another location, Ed Jackson tells one of the kidnappers
that he has done his job and he wants to end this now. They tell him to
sit down. Kris is there. The boss wants Jackson taken care of. Jackson
is taken away. Kris wants to know what's going on. Anton introduces
himself to Kris and then leaves. Kris hears a gunshot.
Bosley arrives at Georgian Acres in a disguise. Some really corny music
plays. Kelly and the gang are already there checking in. Kris receives
some food to eat but isn't impressed. Anton threatens Kris and says he
gives comforts to few. Kris says she is better off safe, Anton says she's
better off dead. Anton looks at a painting of his son and wonders if Kris
knows him. Anton indicates that this has to do with the death of his son.
Kris is told to look at a photo album and inside she sees photos of the son
and Jill. Back at Acres, tennis is the game, and Jill is playing with one
of the kidnappers. She sets up a lunch date. Jill notices someone is in
her room. They run off to try to stop him. The man manages to get away.
Jill finds a room key in Sabrina's room. Jill recognizes the name of the
company that owns the resort. Jill remembers she was with Anton's son
when she heard the name. Sabrina goes dusting in the room to which the key
belongs. The man doesn't recognize her. She takes his picture, compliments
his fine body and leaves. Anton receives a call from the man and he
informs him that Sabrina was just in his room. He says Sabrina may have
gotten a picture. Anton suggests Duncan et al. be killed. Sabrina and
Kelly take off and the man follows behind. Bosley notices and heads for
his car which is conveinently parked nearbye. He calls Kelly on the phone.
Sabrina realizes they are being set up anyway ... everything has been fed
to them. Sabrina feigns car trouble. The man pretends to help and
Sabrina knocks him out cold. The angels take off again. Back at the
Acres, the tennis instructor forces Jill to drive them away. Bosley sees
that too and takes off in his car. The angels head toward Bosley and Jill.
Jill arrives at the Anton estate and Jill learns that Anton's son died and
his father thinks he killed himself over Jill. Jill is even more confused.
Kris asks Anton about his son and Jill and he begins to talk when Jill
arrives. Anton wants to punish Jill for what she did to his son. Anton
says he is going to take what she loves. Jill says she tried to make his
son realize who he was. Anton says Jill destroyed him. Jill explains that
he died because he wasn't a good driver. Anton says he won't change his
mind. They are leaving now to go to Mexico. There, Jill will learn what
it's like to see someone you love die. The angels find the house and
Bosley is already there. Bosley called the police. They all see them
leaving the house and getting into a car. Time for a chase. Jill and
Kris eventually escape from the car. Anton heads for the plane. He takes
off but the angels hit it and it comes crashing back down, over a
moutain area.
Jill is off to France to race. Jill is also going to visit Anton's son's
grave. The angels are thankful that Jill came back. [TDC]

Title: Teen Angels
Story by: Laurie Lakso
Directed by: Allen Baron
Guest Starring: Audrey Landers as Donna; Jane Alice Brandon as Liz;
Debi Richter as Patty; Lori Lethin as Bo;
Jack Fletcher as Mr. Blackmoor; and Elissa Leeds as Cissy
Special Guest Star: Hal Englund as Victor
Blackmoor College (an all-girl institution) student Patty Cantwell gets
killed in an operation where kleptos, etc are selling booze and pills to
fellow classmates.
Donna seems to be the "brains" behind it. Patty and Cissy and Bo were
"distributers". Patty was going to rat on Donna to Jeffrey Blackmoor when
she got strangled to death. She had also just shot down a hick repairman
(Victor) that was hitting on her.
Two girls left Blackmoor College last month, scared of the strangler.
Blackmoor himself hires the angels.
Kris and Bosley go to Heelhaven (near Blackmoor College) where
transportation will bring them into the college. Sabrina will teach Art.
Kelly will teach English. Kris will be a new student. Bosley will be a
groom in the stable.
Kris sees Donna, Cissy, and Bo lift a heavy crate onto the van that will
take her and Bosley to Blackmoor. The three girls then get on thei
bicycles and peddle back to the college.
Victor is in charge of maintenance, and drives the van to Blackmoor. He
hits on Kris just like he did with Patty. Kris is Cissy's new roommate.
Kelly catches Bo cheating in English class, but doesn't make a big deal out
of it and doesn't alert anyone else in the class what is going on. Bo
talks to her after class to thank her for her discretion and for being so
understanding. Kelly tells her that she shouldn't be cheating herself out
of an education. Bo tells Donna that she will never cheat or lie again.
Sabrina has the new student (Kris) model for the art class to draw. Donna
picks on Kris (pulling her hair out, etc.) and later tells her in private
that she should forget that she saw the three girls putting the crate in
the van.
Kris discovers that Cissy has stolen her worthless keychain, Patty's
valuable ring, and a ton of other stuff from various people. She's rich
(as are all the syudents at Blackmoor) so she must just be a klepto. Kris
asks Cissy about the crate she and the other two girls loaded onto the van,
which makes her upset, so she storms out of the room.
Donna slips a note in the dean's suggestion box that Bo has been cheating
on her tests. Bo thinks Kelly put the note there, but Kelly assures her
that if she wanted to tell Blackmoor, she wouldn't have to do it via an
anonymous note. This causes Bo to think that Liz did it.
That night someone tries to strangle Liz. Kris (and then some other girls)
come in when they hear Liz screaming, but the culprit has already fled the
scene.
Victor hits on Bo.
Bosley finds the crate of booze and drugs behind some bales of hay. While
the angels inspect it, Donna lets her horse out of its stable and sets fire
to the building. Bosley, Sabrina, and Kris manage to flee through a high
window.
Kelly confronts Vince about the pills. Donna blackmailed Bo into pushing
or she said she would spill the beans that she is a pathalogical liar. She
told Cissy that she must push or she'd let everyone know that she is a
klepto. Victor is the strangler. Donna saw him do it and blackmailed him
into helping them. Bo and Cissy finally stand up to Donna, who flees in a
car she steals from the parking lot. Bosley cuts her off in his tractor.
Victor has Kelly tied in his jeep and is headed for the lake. Cissy, Bo,
Kris, and Sabrina take a short-cut. Kelly jumps out of the jeep. Kris
tackles him and wrestles him to the ground. Victor and Donna are both
under arrest.
In the epilogue, Blackmoor sends them four graduation caps--they are
honorary graduates of Blackmoor College. "Graduate of a girls' school?
How am I gonna tell that to the guys in the locker room?" --Bosley.
Charlie sends the angels and Bosley to Alcapolco to thank them in his own
way. [OEH]

Written by: Edward J. Lakso
Directed by: Allen Baron
At the airport, a man opens a locker and looks in a carrying bag. Inside
is a gun and a photo of John Bosley. He makes a call to find out if the
man looks the same today as in the picture. He is given the license
number even. The man finds Bosley's car and pulls out the gun and loads
it. Inside the restaurant, Bosley is working on some paperwork. The
assasin comes in and is seated. He isn't impressed with the restaurant
but is impressed with Bosley. A woman comes in and Bosley flirts with
her. Bosley decides to leave but then goes to the woman's table. She
is flattered when he says her smile is wonderful. Bosley is quite happy
but has to leave. The assasin follows ... without paying.
Meanwhile back at the office ... Bosley has something up his butt and
decides he isn't appreciated. Bosley asks what would happen if he just
disappeared. He asks the angels if they could find him if he just
disappeared. Bosley challenges them to find him. If they find him ...
Bosley will do all the paperwork himself. The angels agree and Bosley
takes off. The assasin follows. Bosley returns to the restaurant and
so does the assasin. The lady is still there and she introduces herself
as Ellen. She isn't surprised to see him. She sensed it. They decide
to spend some time together and take off ... without paying the bill.
The assasin pulls his gun out.
Charlie calls and tells the angels that a man that he and Bosley convicted
was just released from prison. They have to stay away from the press.
Charlie wishes them luck with their game. Bosley and Ellen go to an
amusement park. Bosley buys them candied apples and takes off to call the
angels. The assasin keeps close to Bosley. Bosley gives them a clue and
the angels hear some carnival sounds in the background ... but they can't
figure out where he is. Bosley and Ellen ride the carousel. The assasin
prepares to kill Bosley. but they spend forever on the ride. They take a
walk down on the beach. Ellen explains her life story while the assasin
readies to kill Bosley. He fires several shots and takes off. Ellen is
confused. Ellen wants to know what's going on and why Bosley has a gun.
Bosley can't find the man. Then he finds that the man was shooting blanks
at them. Bosley explains his job. Ellen demands to know more ... all of
it. Bosley needs a good drink first though. The assasin continues to
watch and this time puts reall bullets in the gun.
Bosley and Ellen go to another restaurant and order drinks. The assasin
arrives and sits at the bar. Ellen demands the full details. Bosley
explains the game and that the killer might be trying to kill him. They
figure it's unlikey that the angels could be responsible. They decide to
think about more pleasant thoughts. Bosley calls the office and the
angels say they are working hard. Bosley explains the shoot-out. Bosley
wants the game to continue though the angels don't like it. Bosley gives
them a clue and hangs up. The angels decide to call Charlie. Bosley
tells Ellen that he didn't tell his partners anything. Bosley says he is
grateful to Ellen for making his life more interesting. Bosley gets
dizzy for a moment. Bosley says he likes Ellen. Bosley gets very dizzy
and they decide to go out for some air. Charlie tells them that the man
Bosley convicted is in the hospital and will die. But ... the man's
brother is vengeful and could be involved. The angels figure out where
Bosley is and they take off. Bosley and Ellen go to the car. Ellen pulls
out Bosley's gun and tells him he is going to tell him everything. The
assasin follows.
The angels race to the pier. Charlie finds out that the man's brother
did come to L.A. last night. Ellen explains she is the sister of the man
he send to prison. Ellen wants the truth. They get stuck in a traffic
jam. Bosley calls Ellen's bluff that she'll kill him. He runs off. The
assasin follows ... looking for Bosley who finds his way back to the
amusement park. A dizzy Bosley hops on the merry-go-round to escape the
assasin. How dumb can you get? The angels arrive at the park but get
caught in a traffic jam. Bosley continues to run and heads for the beach.
The assasin follows. He begins shooting at Bosley as the angels get
closer. The angels get to him and he fires at them so they fire back and
hit the assasin. Ellen arrives on the scene. Bosley explains who she is
and he talks to her briefly and explains about her brother. They take

Title: Angels Remembered
Written by: Edward J. Lakso
Directed by: Kim Manners
As we start this episode, Kris is headed for Biminy, Sabrina is headed for
Rome, and Kelly is headed for New York. But ONE of them will never return.
Mooohahahaha! :-)
Bosley arrives with champagne that he describes as "very old, very French,
and very expensive" and a cake. Kris had a birthday last month, so she
knows it isn't for her. Bosley explains that they have been together for
three years (except for Kris, who has been there for two years). [Another
indication that Townsend Investigations didn't exist (at least with any of
these three) before the first season of this series. Roll the flashbacks!]
Kris remembers the first case she was on (where Charlie was kidnapped).
Kelly remembers the ice show with the disappearing skaters, when she donned
a belly-dancer outfit to spy on the bad guys. Charlie says that it was
amazing how they got out of the warehouse they were being kept in.
Kris recalls a 40-hour dice game in Vegas with Frank (Dean Martin).
Bosley mentions that one of his favorite cases was when he made the
acquaintence of the "charming Miss Martha Milton" at the antique auto show.
Kris recalls her trip into amnesia when she was hit by a car after seeing
something she shouldn't have.
Sabrina remembers O'Neill and horseback riding and airplanes and the D.B.
Cooper plot.
Bosley remembers TinkelBell [name likely changed to avoid Disney lawsuits]
at the circus. "Bosley John Bosley... a nice ring to it. Married?"
--TinkelBell. "Not lately." --Bosley.
Kelly remembers the UFO caper where she had to seduce a young executive
bicycle nerd.
Charlie mentions that some of the covers they used were "interesting":
Sabrina posing as a life-sized doll, Sabrina posing as an inept waitress
with Peter W, Kris speaking some northern European language, Kelly and Kris
as cheerleaders, Kris doing magic, Kelly on KP duty during the first
season, Bosley in the hog slop in a suit from the same episode, Sabrina as
a bag lady, Kris and Kelly as the new hick neighbors.
Kelly toasts "to next year". Sabrina adds "and many, many more" [but
wasn't back for season four]. [OEH]
"Our thanks to the many actors and actresses
in the previous segments."
