[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 81093, member: 57984"] In [B]Sarah Who? [/B]we learn that Meredith Baxter still-Birney's roommate has been murdered at knife point, and that Baxter, a lady cop and the daughter of Sergeant Crowley's dead partner, may have been the intended target. The mousy girl who played Joan Crawford's abused daughter and Starsky and Hutch's mentally retarded friend who gets raped is now a rookie who queries Pepper as to whether or not Crowley and MBB are a romantic item. As they bury Sarah, the equally mousy dead roommate, a suspicious-looking man in period-funky garb looks on from a distance. At one point, Pete and Joe engage in one of the series' better car chases as they track him down: it's a young Edward James Olmos who, as it turns out, lost custody of his children due to Sarah's prosecution of him. Olmos has an alibi. It must really be MBB that the killer's after.
