Closes down the "Kate Pike" storyline from Season One
hindsonevansmike26 August 2018
Looking back at this in 2018 (some 18 years after the episode was probably filmed), this is a useful snapshot of the tensions within the US military in relation to sexual harassment - perceived and actual.

*Updated March 2021 - the takeaway here is that "no-one wins when cases of sexual harassment reach the courtroom."

Kate Pike (played with nervous tension by Andrea Parker in a brief return after five years away from her role in "JAG") provides some background on exactly how far she and Harm had progressed one weekend in the past. This episode also reflects (actually, it rams home) the reality that "you don't always get justice".

A useful episode, drawing together Harm with Rene (his then-girlfriend), Mac (the constant inconstant in his life) and Kate as a "blast from the past".

Additionally, Kate gets to deliver one of the best-ever put-down lines to Nanci Chambers' character of Loren Singer (see the "Quotes" section).

A nice human-interest episode which fills in a little more of Harm's back-story from five years earlier. Then farewell Commander Kate Pike, with a wistful smile.

They missed a chance
paul-hinman23 July 2006
If I am not mistaken this is the case of the Admiral who had sexually harassed Kate. Why wasn't the officer who had an affair with Kate and then gave her a bad fitness report not charged. It seems that they missed a chance get a real slime bucket.

There were several "bad guys" involved in this one. The Admiral who may or may not have groped Kate and from his actions on the promotion board it appears that he may be guilty of having done so.

Then there is the Commander who had an affair with Kate when she was just a Lieutenant. He was guilty of fraternizing and then when he gave her a lousy fit-rep it appears that he was shafting her as well. He should have had to experience a career limiting event as well.

This may be politically incorrect but making the armed forces co-educational has introduced opportunities for a large number of problems.

In this case justice was not done to everyone who needed it.

And the hits (mistakes) just keep on coming.

When Kate was introduced Rabb says she was there TDY. Wrong. TDY is used when a member is sent to a school or some form of training. The correct term is TAD. Temporary Additional Duty.
