The problem with this episode is that the main story falls flat in the end. Basically, all we get in a double cross and ultimate revenge and the latter is dealt with quite briefly.
Cloris Leachman is a definite scene stealer here as Ruth Tennenbaum, an elderly woman widowed and living in an apartment building where Steve and Danny are conducting a stakeout. For the role, she has a mid western Jewish accent which serves her quite well. She throws out some Yiddish favorites "alta cocker" and "tref," old person and non-kosher food,respectively.
The segment begins with Danny and Steve undergoing psychological training as it has been observed that they are too often in conflict. This part was a complete waste, as we know the caliber of officers they are and when the chips are down, they coalesce beautifully.
