Plot Summary
Dennis Haysbert, future star of such TV series as FOX's 24 and CBS-TV's The Unit, appears in this episode as prison convict James Morgan. While Christine (Markie Post) carries on a pen-pal correspondence with Morgan, Roz (Marsha Warfield) manages to worm her way into the proceedings, whereupon the convict falls in love with her--and promptly escapes, hoping for a quickie romantic rendezvous before the cops close in.
