Psychological study and didn't see the ending coming on this one

A defense-attorney nemesis of Ironside's shows up at his door (stopping Mark from getting his big steak he just won from Ironside!) bloodied and with amnesia as to what happened to him. The entire episode is Ironside and friends (including a psychiatrist who administers sodium pentathol!) breaking him down to finally reveal what happened.

After his lovey-dovey previous episode, Ironside is all business and tough as nails here, refusing to give James Olson, the attorney, any kind of immunity from prosecution for what he might reveal under the drug. It's a good one!

No super famous guest stars here, but James Olson is good as the defense attorney. You'll recognize him from the film "The Andromeda Strain." And you'll definitely recognize Lorraine Gary, who plays his wife, because she was Roy Scheider's wife in Jaws!
