#Riptide s2e12 (1985) - 9/10
Very good episode about a serious topic.

1️⃣ #NancyStafford gives a terrific performance, and there are some lovely moments. Particularly the final scene, which is a tearjerker.

2️⃣ The story of Nick’s missing girlfriend (and her Vietnam flashbacks) is paired with a b-story about rival mobsters, which is there to provide the show’s action component. It’s a mismatch. But it works, adds danger and keeps the episode moving forward.
