77. Mr. Herons Geld

Two Doves and Mr. Heron ***
Original air date: 10/12/71

"Hippie freak" Ryan Moore (John Ritter) begs money from embezzler Edward Heron (Vic Morrow) who then tries to feel him up. Ryan bonks Heron on the head and steals his wallet, later commenting, "He deserved it, the closet queen". Meanwhile, Danno is trying to find Ryan's girlfriend Cleo Michaels (Dianne Hull), the daughter of his landlady when he lived in Berkeley. Ryan spouts various period clichs about "middle class morality" and generally carries on like an obnoxious jerk (which he is). A scene where a cop car turns by a bank is taken from #36. Chin says "Yo" to McGarrett at one point, and Jenny refers to him as "chief." The electronic music (by Ray) when a woman dies of a drug overdose is weird. When Heron inquires in a hippie bar as to Ryan's whereabouts, listing off various elements of Ryan's clothing, the barman says "Isn't there anything unusual about him?" The barman then offers Heron some licorice-flavored cigarette papers for "rolling your own." In the final scene, Cleo's hair keeps blowing in her mouth! How does Heron know the location of the hideout at the airport? The old lady that Ryan tries to hustle for money in the opening scene also appeared in #66-67, F.O.B. Honolulu.
