Ed, after examining the bottle with their new "PR" Wine Expert, decides to sell it in an auction to improve the Montecito image and status. Just after it is sold for one million dollars, they discover that the wine isn't the original even though Ed and the expert confirm that it is with a celebratory toast with the excited buyer. They set out to find out how it was switched before the buyer leaves the Montecito. Also, a group of retired ladies partying at the Montecito and attending a sudoku tournament cause a ruckus and giving Sam a hard time with their different idea of fun. Mike try's to deal with their "fun" and Sam's chocolate bar solution for the group of ladies works only for a moment. Danny is jealous when Delinda starts spending a lot of time with a "new toy". A "smashing" end of the day for Ed!

Some Funny Lines:

Mike: You know what. Why don't I get on this wine thing. You handle the situation at Bella Petto, apparently there's a disturbance...
Danny: That sounds titillating, but I know that you're staying abreast of that situation. You'll be fine. Just don't let your spirits sag.
Mike: Mmm, rich. So you know.

As Mike says to Danny:"Yeah, well OK. Surveillance cameras aren't toys Danny. You should be concerned with the persons inner beauty."

"Third Watch" ( Sept. 24,2004) 

Paul directing Mr. Sterling

Directed by: Paul Michael Glaser

air date.. March 14, 2003

Storyline: Senator Sterling plans to return to California in order to attend a parole hearing and keep a promise to one of his former students.

He must first go to the floor for his chance to speak about his amendment, which would add his prison education program to the bill that has already passed - a bill that can no longer be amended. Sterling soon finds himself in a filibuster; he won't stop talking about his amendment. Tommy prepares Sterling's team for the filibuster, gathering lozenges, lip balm and anything that will help Sterling go the duration. He can't leave the floor or sit down...

The Majority Leader asks Sterling to stop, but he refuses. Jackie and Tommy approach Hardball with a request to let someone from Sterling's team come on as a guest to defend/support Sterling. Lauren Barnes offers to be the person, her name recognition will help and she feels indebted to Sterling for his help with her After School Arts program.

Meanwhile, Tommy asks Senator Garland, a presidential contender, to go on the floor and ask Sterling questions, giving Sterling a chance to rest his voice. Every other Senator has passed, but for Garland this would be a chance to get camera time and support education.

Jackie and Tommy realize that the next day at 10 a.m. is scheduled to be a Debt Ceiling vote. Every year the debt level increases and there is a vote to increase the debt ceiling. If this vote doesn't take place the government closes down. If Sterling can stay with his filibuster until the next day, the Senate may be forced to give him what he is asking for.

Everyone begins to panic as time passes. The Minority Leader realizes that the U.S. credit rating is at risk and decides to pass a concurrent resolution, which means that Sterling gets his amendment, but something else in the bill will have to be taken out because the total cost of the bill can't change. The Minority Leader points out that Lauren Barnes' After School Arts is the only thing that will go without a big fight and Sterling agrees. Lauren is devastated when she learns that she supported Sterling and he took away her funding.

Sterling's student Troy was turned down at his parole hearing, he will have to reapply in two years. Sterling is upset, but realizes that, while he wasn't there for Troy today, he helped a lot of other inmates who are going to benefit from the funding his program just received.

This was the last episode on Mr. Sterling. It was cancelled after only 9 episodes.

air date... Dec. 7, 2002

Storyline: Cole visits a Death Row inmate to eliminate any possibility of an 11th-hour appeal from the man who murdered his former partner. Cole reluctantly pursues leads that could exonerate the condemned man. With the clock ticking toward a lethal injection, a crucial alibi witness is gunned down, and Cole must hunt for a crew of hired killers.
A reviewer comment about this episode: " Hands down. The episode "Had" is easily one of the finest hour's worth of television I have ever seen. What a nice change to see a show that has intelligent characters, complex stories and inspired direction."

It has been 12 years since the 1990 shooting death of Cole's partner, Vasquez. Cole visits death row determined to see to it that the man convicted and about to be executed for the crime, Scotty Earl Klayman, doesn't get a plea for clemency. Klayman tells Cole that while he does deserve to die for his sins, he did not kill his partner Vasquez. At a public defender's recommendation, Cole backs down and agrees to speak with Pastor Arcaro. He claims that a man in his congregation - who's name the Pastor won't devulge- approached him and said he was with Klayman at the time of Vasquez's death, and that Klayman who's conscience is becoming unbearable, wants the truth to be known. Cole sets out to find the mysterious congregant, and Lu uncovers one Victor Peluso who has quite a criminal record full of his own sins, including working with Klayman. Cole goes to see his old acquaintance, C. Conway Plummer, who's currently running for State Attorney General and who helped put Klayman behind bars. Plummer gets defensive at the mere idea that Klayman might be innocent, and refuses to help. Vasquez's daughter, Nicole, begs Cole to let Klayman die. Cole, Simms and Robbins talk to Peluso, who testified against Klayman, and coerced him into a confession. Arcaro and Klayman were telling the truth; Peluso lied in court because his first wife was having an affiar with Klayman. He names Karl Mitrovic, a former friend who spent the day of the killing with him and Klayman. Against the violent protests of his wife, Lorena, Peluso plans to clear Klayman's name. Lorena takes their child and bails, and Peluso ends up dead. While Barstow and Simms learn that Mitrovic died six years ago, Cole and Robbins question Lorena. She resents her would-be hero of a husband, and now recants his testimony. Lu gets the name and address of the ex-wife, Alicia Eegolf. Plummer blames Cole for Peluso's murder, threatens him if he doesn't close the case, and refuses to hand over sealed documents on Mitrovic and Eegolf. When RHD tries to question Eegolf, she tries to get away, a chase ensues, but the division lose her and instead run into a team of US Marshals.It is then that RHD discovers that Mitrovic is still alive and in the witness protection program. The Marshals refuse to let RHD near him. Lu is able to discover Mitrovic's current name and residence without their help. Cole, Simms and Lu storm Mitrovic's place, only to face to face with guns drawn on them by both Mitrovic and Eegolf. Even though he has blanket immunity, Mitrovic agrees to talk to Cole in private. Cole mocks at his immunity and beats him until he confesses that Klayman is indeed innocent. The team go over Plummer's head, and deliver the evidence to the governor. Cole apologizes to Nicole, who comes to understand she's misplaced her anger. Klayman is released from prison, but when Cole and Simms spot him driving off with Eegolf, a $250,000 trust fund shows up in the Peluso child's name, and everybody leaves town, they realize they've been "had".

"In/Famous"

A party is held at a Hollywood mansion for talent manager Arthur Zoglin, to celebrate his 40 years career in entertainment. The hosts of the party are Greg Caton, his movie-star wife Trisha Keane and their beautiful and famous daughter Jules Azar. Hollywood agent Pete Micelli joins the hosts and Zoglin in a game of billiards, stopping intermittently to take a picture with press photographers.

The next day Cole and his team are called to the mansion. Zoglin is dead. Reporters are stating that Zoglin overdosed and drowned, but gash on his head tells Cole this false. Robbins examines pictures from the party and notices that an Audi TT that was parked in the garage is now gone. Cole visits a beach house that is connected to this famous group, the Audi parked out front. The license plate says Jules Pony; it belongs to Jules Azar.

Barstow and Lu go to the talent agency where Micelli works. Micelli tells them that Caton knew Zoglin was sleeping with his wife. He also says that Trisha's daughter Jules is trouble, into drugs, kicked out of school, caught up in a civil suit settled out of court.

Cole speaks to Jules' friend M'lissa and finds that Jules and Zoglin were having an affair. Cole can't shake a growing attraction he has toward Trisha and his instincts tell him that she likes him too. He tries to stay focused. Cole determines that the murder weapon was a pool cue because the splinter in Zoglin's head was Ash wood, just like the cue. He also finds that Caton's account was charged with buying one Ash pool cue four hours after the party. However, there were six cues at the party pictures and there are six now. Cole confronts Caton. DNA from Zoglin's bed is close to Trisha's, it had to be Jules in bed with Zoglin.

Cole goes back to the beach house to see Trisha. She wants to drink wine and relax with Cole. He tells her he knows she went to Zoglin's room on the night of the murder and found Zoglin with her daughter Jules. He also tells her that he knows, from a paternity test, that Zoglin is Jules' father. This is hard for Cole, he likes Trisha and he understands why she was angry, but he has no choice...he must arrest her for murder.
