Potential jackpot for Virgil

[bkoganbing · 7/10 · 4 November 2020]

In this episode Virgil Tibbs gets himself into what is a potential jackpot. While pursuing a suspect in a convenience store robbery Howard Rollins spots a weapon being drawn. It turns out the weapon has disappeared and the deceased s a girl in AnneMarie Johnson's sex hygiene class.

The only one who might know is a bitter old woman played by Ketty Lester whose grandson Afirno Omilani might also be a witness. Carroll O'Connor uses some extralegal means to get the truth from him.

A final climax with Rollins and White is where we learn the truth. It s also beautifully played.

THE 15 YEAR OLD SHOOTING VICTIM RAYLENE TOLIVER IS NOT MENTIONED IN THE CASTING, WHO IS SHE? WHY IS SHE LEFT OUT?

Did you know?

The title is actually "gunshot" and not "gunshots". Watching it right now and rewound to make sure. Not sure why everyone has it wrong, even on the description.

Same stuff different day.

When did Cops start apologizing for not being murdered??Almost every modern show blames the Cop for not standing there and getting killed. Not much of a choice since murdering a Cop gets years on death row or life in prison so what would be gained ??

Virgil takes his turn screaming at his fellow officers,I guess to give Bubba a break. All is well since later everybody will forget how they were abused and be BFFs again. Good thing since Parker and Sweet also got to be mad at everybody which is a poor plot because the 'FRIEND' they defend is always the guilty party.
