Don Gordon guest stars as a private who Vic accuses of disobeying a direct order, with the result that two of the men in his squad are dead. Gordoa appeals to Rick that he has been unjustly accused, and there's a background matter affecting the case -Vic knows the soldier dating back to D Day and doesn't trust him.
We see in flashback how their relationship developed, set aga the backdrop of heavy fighting and stock footage. Another flashback, all related to Rick by Vic to explain why he's pressing charges against the man, shows another run-in the two had in a small French village. IT seems that Gordon has become fixated on killing Germans at all costs, seriously affecting his judgment.
The structuring of the episode as a series of flashbacks is contrived, and the private's single-minded character doesn't generate much interest, as we wait for Vic to finally emerge triumphant in the duo's minor war of wills. Ending is way too corny to be satisfying.
