A sad day for the Tibbs family
bkoganbing14 January 2021
Something that any police officer dreads in a small town like Sparta happens to Virgil Tibbs. Howard Rollins has to investigate a warehouse robbery where there was a killing. In the middle of it is Michael Burgess who is a cousin to Virgil Tibbs.

This episode marks Fran Bennett's first appearance as Aunt Ruda and she is a bitter and hard woman. You know she has not had the that life has had to offer and Burgess's incorrigible delinquency has given her a lot of pain.

The inevitable climax between Burgess and Howard Rollins does no go well.

This episode belongs to Rollins and to Fran Bennett. Some of their finest moments in the series are here.
