Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJack Klugman refused to appear in this episode because he disliked the script, so the episode was written around him. It was his first step in pushing producer Glen A. Larson and his company (including writer Michael Kozoll, later co-creator of Hill Street Blues (1981)) out the door and repeatedly holding out on new seasons until he got a production team to his liking (even then he frequently rewrote the scripts).
- GoofsTowards the end of the show, Wilson and his assistant arrive at the morgue to steal the casket and recover the diamonds. They approach from the right of the double doors in an open corridor. Wilson uses a waste basket to hold one door open on the inside. When they pick up the casket, the door is now open on the outside and as they walk through it, the open corridor they walked in from is now a closed double door.

Featured review
No Quincy!? - Not a problem
An early episode of Quincy M.E. without the title character appearing at all. But don't let this get you Klugman fans down, because the episode has plenty of interest to keep the viewer watching.
This episode brings in the character of Dr. Hiro; a fellow Doctor connected with the L.A. coroner's office. It plays like a day-in-the-life, following Dr Hiro as he helps out the Lieutenant in a Diamond smuggling operation while coming to the aid of a child with an unknown case of poisoning. At the same time Sam, Dr. Asten and Danny are organising a Birthday party for Hiro. And with the occasional phone call from the unseen Quincy (who we discover has car trouble), the episode ties up nicely at the end.
A classic episode all-told. Although Klugman doesn't appear (he may have needed holiday time due to the filming?) its refreshing to see the other characters getting some well-deserved screen time.
