This episode begins with Chief Gillespie narrowly escaping death from a cottonmouth snake that someone planted in his car. A sure sign that he and
Virgil Tibbs are getting close to solving a copycat killing of an infamous
murder that took place in Sparta 30 years earlier.
What gets in the way us one of the Sparta City Councilmembers trying to replace Carroll O'Connor with Howard Rollins. Everyone's tempers come to a boil with that play.
A rather clever ruse is used to catch the perpetrator involving O'Connor and Iman playing a West Indian who comes from a voodoo family.
With Geoffrey Thorne joining the series cast in this two part episode, a good job is done by all.
