[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 83163, member: 57984"] In [B]The Beautiful Die Young[/B], we catch one of the only glimpses we'll ever get of Pepper's autistic little sister, played by the producer's daughter and, at that moment, going to school with Angie's real-life daughter, Nikki. ("We get away with [I]everything [/I]in television," Angie chortles on the DVD commentary for another episode). A telephone complaint from an anxious mother leads the police to investigate the Classic Modeling Agency, run by slimy Ted Adrian (and who does 'slimy' better than William Windom?) but the agency is actually a front for his business of supplying young girls to the porno houses and overseas white slave trade. [IMG width="774px"]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b78/Marky888/angie_well_lit.jpg?t=1506480177[/IMG] Pepper and Crowley use a young cadet trainee (Kathleen Quinlan) to go undercover as a young model receptive to doing local porn in order to get close to Adrian's business, but only after Pepper determines that Olympic cutey Cathy Rigby just "looks too young" for the job... [I]Huhhh?[/I] Meanwhile, as Adrian's partying with and attempting to seduce a naive 16-year old (Karen Lamm), the teen has a cocaine induced heart attack and he finds himself sawing her remains into pieces and dumping the corpse into a laundry bag and a trash bin on the far side of town. Pepper meets Huggy Bear in a seedy bar while wearing her bull dyke hooker outfit and a big chocolate wig to score some backstreet scoop on what's goin' down in the big city. [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b78/Marky888/pepperandhuggy.jpg[/IMG] Now armed with all the skid row data she could possibly need, Pepper then poses as a white slave trader from Japan named, of all things, Mignon Downs, and in the market for some "young, dumb, very pretty American" fresh female meat. After perusing his farm of dazed and drugged-out beauties, Adrian and Pepper retire to his house for a drink. Unfortunately for Sergeant Anderson, Adrian takes a call while she's sniffing around the chainsaw in his basement when he learns that the [B]real [/B]Mignon Downs is in a Chinese prison. Uh oh. Adrian finds her in the cellar, locates her badge inside her purse immediately, ties her to a S&M piece of equipment he identifies as "a virgin's kiss" with little effort, and the squad bursts in and kills him. The episode ends back at Pep's apartment with her draped in the luxurious fur she doesn't have to return to LAPD's properties department until the morning, and makes a joke about tossing a salad in it. And she is, indeed, holding a huge bowl of salad -- which is how they probably got by the censors with that line. It's all shot in color noir [I]a la [/I]the early-'70s -- a style I [B]still [/B]think works incredibly well for almost any drama, but would go out of fashion within months. And of all the shows that used it, I thought POLICE WOMAN was one series which should have held on to it. It just fit it so well.
