The theft of a big load of morphine sulfate tablets from the Sparta Hospital sets
off a big investigation. But the theft is of more direct concern to Dr. Earl
Holliman who uses those drugs to send off his terminally ill patients into
eternity. One of those patients now being Howard Rollins's aunt Fran Bennett.
Fran Bennett as Aunt Ruda has given some powerful performances on this series, none more so than this episode. Her scenes with her sister, Virgil Tibbs's other aunt are truly special.
The right to die issue is given a thorough examination in this episode.
