gs: Bill Williams (Harry Phillips) Bettye Ackerman (Eileen Phillips)

The 240 rescue team have to take drastic action after a famous retired stunt man makes a daring comeback attempt by trying the most death-defying feat of his career.

b: 03-Sep-1979 w: Lew Hunter s: Rudy Dochtermann and Lew Hunter d: Ric Rondell

• NOTE: Morgan and Trap are studying for Sergeant's Exam.
  
• Volleyball game on beach with 240-Robert deputies.
  
• Stuntman Harry Phillips is an older stuntman who had a heart attack before.
  
• Harry and Eileen Phillips have been married for 37 years.
  
• The bear sighting at Verona Campgrounds turned out to be a guy named Herman (in a bear costume) who was playing a joke on his friends.
  
• Trap is from Cherry Hill, New Jersey (Trap tells Thib).
  
• Morgan is from Wisconsin (Trap tells Thib).
  
• Trap and Morgan take the Seargent's oral exam and both wear dress uniforms (Uniforms have metal badges not patches. Morgan wears a skirt).
  
• To save on time to the Sergeant's Exam, Trap gets a ride to the academy in the 240-R-Air helicopter with Morgan ("It will be a 1 and a half hour drive from the station," said Trap).
  
• Harry Phillips stunt at Portuguese Bend located west of Crenshaw. Harry will drive a van off a 100 ft. cliff into the ocean.

GOOFS:

• "It really beats that ‘52 Ford," said Trap to Morgan during the helicopter ride to the Sergeant's Exam (Traps old car is spoken of but not shown). This is odd, because Trap is seen driving a red Corvette in "The Apology" episode. What '52 Ford could Trap be referring to? Perhaps the car that Morgan and Trap went out on a date with years ago?

Morgan intercepts the forms and reads them.

gs: Harvey Lembeck (Morey Allen) Eric Server (Dr. Barr) Pepper Martin (Sgt. Cross)

Thib's career seems to be over when he loses his sight after a high-speed crash, and two doped-up kids in a car turn a gas station into a deadly inferno.

b: 15-Oct-1979 w: James Schmerer d: Christian I. Nyby II

• NOTE: Morgan calls in, "240-Robert-Air is 10-7 for Driver Training." Trap & Thib are testing the tires at just under 70 mph. Sergeant tells them to "push it" and test them at 80 mph.
  
• Thib's car number: 23. Thib rolls car 23 to avoid hitting a stray dog in the track.
  
• Softball game East L.A. beat 240-R last year at the softball championship.

• Trap calls on the radio for a "Special 924" (softball practice). When Morgan asks what a 924 is, Trap tells her that it's "for Ground Units only." Morgan shows up for practice anyway and Trap said that the team needs a good cheerleader. Morgan asks, "Who's the cheerleader?" Trap says, "You are."
  
• Later a Yellow ‘71 Chevelle with 2 pot smoking youths driving is spotted by 240-Robert-Air. Morgan calls in "240-Robert-Air is Southbound on Woodhill passing Fulton with 2 deuces." Car crashes into a gas station at Hudson & Hickerbocker and hits guy on pay phone inside station.

• Thib falls while directing 240-R-Air out of parking lot with Morey as a transport victim. Thib loses sight due to car accident earlier in episode when avoiding dog.

• Thib is checked into hospital room with Morey the comedian. Morey entertains a little girl Amy with jokes in his room at the hospital.
  
• Meanwhile, 240-R softball practice was cancelled and then Thib tells Trap to have it without him.

Trap turns girl on side and taps her back to dislodge the food from her throat. She starts to breathe. Practice is cancelled.
  
• Terry rides with Trap while Thib is in the hospital. Terry removed Thib's gear from Bronco. Trap gets upset.
  
• Morey climbs out onto ledge of hospital to jump and end his life (his wife is dead, his kids are grown up with kids of their own). Thib gets his sight back and climbs out onto ledge to talk down Morey. Then 240-R-2 arrives and Trap speaks to Thib and Morey out of window near ledge, but from inside hospital. Thib loses his sight again while on the ledge. 240-Robert-Air makes an aerial pickup with a sling and saves both Thib & Morey.
  
• While driving to the softball game, Thib explains his blindness to Trap. It was "the pressure of the optic nerve caused by the swelling," said Thib. Trap & Thib arrive late to the game and are amazed at the scoreboard.
  
• SCOREBOARD... ELA 0 0 0 0 0 0... 240R 1 0 2 2 3 1.

• Later... In Bronco over radio, Thib speaks to Kestenbaum who said that the highway patrol and the reserves are looking for the escaped lion. Thib tells Trap about the Sergeants Exam results that Morgan came in 4th. Trap thinks that it was a computer mistake. Trap is upset. Trap considers leaving 240-Robert.
  
• Meanwhile... At a deli shop...Erving the employee empties trash out back and sees a lion. Erving jumps over a fence into a dumpster, but he leaves the back door to the deli shop open.

• 240-R-2 arrives at the deli shop. The crowd tells Trap & Thib that Mrs. Needleman is still inside and Erving is missing. Kestenbaum shows up and pulls his gun on the lion. Thib slowly lowers the gun with his hand. Trap tries to lasso the lion. Thib gets some meat out of the deli counter and tries to coach the lion out. The trainer shows up and yells at the lion..."Bad Ronald, bad pussycat. Look what you've done." The trainer walks right up to the lion and puts the leash on him and walks him out of the deli store.

• 240-R-Air transports Trap & Thib to Pier 9 where there is already a Sheriff Explosives Team standing by. Sheriff Explosive leader tells Trap & Thib that the explosive is 30 feet below the bow on the starboard side below the water line and there is 27 minutes left before it explodes. Trap & Thib in scuba suits dive in while the other deputies clear all of the nearby buildings just in case that bomb explodes.
  
• Trap & Thib resurface and verify that the bomb is real. It is rectangular shaped 8" x 12" and held on by electromagnets.
  
• Diving helmets with air hoses and voice communication are given to Trap & Thib who go in to the sea to try to disarm the bomb. The explosive expert leader talks Trap & Thib to remove the 4 screws, remove the cover. The explosive is encased in epoxy. They have to disengage it from the ship hull. There is about 2 pounds of C-4 explosives which is too much for the portable car trailer to withstand. With 4 minutes left they cut the white wire and deactivate the electromagnet. The bomb is still ticking. They put the bomb in a "game bag" and attach the bag to 240-R-Air hook line. 240-R-Air flies the bomb out to sea, clear of the other nearby ships.
  
• Later on the docks... A Sheriff Explosives Team guy congratulates Morgan on her work. Morgan sees his nametag is "M. Wainwright." She soon learns that Marvin Wainwright is the one who placed 4th in the sergeants exam. He shows Morgan the complete results that he pulls out from his pocket. Trap placed #32, Morgan placed #34.
