This is yet another episode which clearly illustrates that Dr. Quincy should NEVER go on vacation. In several previous shows, when Quincy went on a trip, bad, very bad things occurred--usually it meant someone dying. Now, once again, he is going off with a hot babe (how does a coroner who looks like Jack Klugman always get such beautiful women?!?!)--and, wouldn't you know it, on the way there he witnesses a traffic death. Instead of continuing on to his vacation, he takes the body back to work and performs the autopsy. So then does he go on the vacation? Nope--because WHY she was driving so erratically and why she died is a mystery. And, to further complicate things, a police officer and Sam soon become sick after coming in contact with the wrecked vehicle--and the cop dies! So, it's a race against time to figure out the source of all this--and save poor Sam!
For the most part, this is a very good episode. However, near the end be forewarned--there are snakes! Some folks don't like seeing snakes but my problem with the snakes had nothing to do with a phobia--it is how STUPID the scene becomes where Quincy starts waving a rattlesnake about the lab!! Seriously. You just have to see this bizarre (and dumb) scene to believe it. But, bear with it--it's still a decent episode and I liked seeing Quincy run amok at the very end! Worth seeing.
