Silk Stalkings -  Season Four
The fourth season ofSilk Stalkings, Stephen J. Cannell's sexy B-grade cable series, begins with Sergeant Chris Lorenzo (Rob Estes) still recovering from his injuries at the end of season 3, though an attractive surgeon, Jillian Duprix (Nancy Valen, replaced in-season by Suanne Braun), helps ease his pain. Sergeant Rita Lance (Mitzi Kapture) can't wait to get her partner back, but his return nearly costs them both dearly and leads to Lorenzo's resignation from the Palm Beach police force.  As usual, the Palm Beach homicide detectives hunt down their quota of sexual predators and other sordid offenders while running into dead ends with their personal relationships.  Rita dates a former cop turned writer (Eric Pierpoint) with alcohol and financial problems.  Chris struggles to understand why Jillian would bother to date an ordinary cop, then has to make a momentous decision when she wants him to move to Boston with her.  When he hesitates, she knows that it's not just the job he doesn't want to leave behind.  Yes, we knew it was coming--that crucial development that all flirtatious TV-police partners go through when the show needs a boost (but usually ends up jumping the shark).  And even if we don't quite get there, the groundwork is laid for the events of the fifth season, which would end up being the last for both Kapture and Estes.  Also starring real-life husband-and-wife comedy team Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall as Captain Lipschitz and his wife, David Ciminello as Rita's foster brother, Gilbert Gottfried and Casper Van Dien as suspicious types, Constance Towers as the sister of an elder victim, and Kellie Overbey Shane as a trainee who accuses Chris of sexual harassment.--David Horiuchi
