When the show begins, a boy on his bicycle falls down an embankment and Maggie Petrocelli rushes the kid to the hospital. The boy turns out fine but something really weird happens...just after treating the boy, the ER doctor is arrested for murdering his supervisor!! Dr. Hill (Robert Hooks) is insistent he's innocent and Maggie assures him her husband will take the case. Can Petrocelli manage to sort all this out and prove his new client is innocent...or at least provide ample reasonable doubt? And, what can Petrocelli do when the Doc escapes from jail before the trial?!
It's nice seeing Robert Hooks in something other than a blacksploitation film...not that these films are necessarily bad. But this show allows him an opportunity to broaden himself and prove he was a very good actor...which he did quite a bit in the 1970s and 80s and beyond.
So is the episode worth seeing? Yes...and much of it is because the way the doctor REALLY died is simply amazing and weird! Overall worth watching and quite unusual.
