Routine that is, till Craven and Carroll pull over a car with stolen plates. The man inside, pulls a gun and starts shooting, knocking down Carroll who is fatally wounded.

Hard to believe that this top flight cop show only ran 32 episodes. With all the talent in front and behind the camera it should have stuck around. The episode was directed by Charles (Hill Street Blues) Haid.
