Episode 30 - "Incident on a Bridge" --Tod and Buz board in a home with an abused, mute girl and her two jealous - and violent - suitors.
The five stars is for the show; I reserve less than 5 for the digital transfer. Do hope the digital transfer is cleaner and the sound better, although I can't hope for much from Roxbury/Infinity who have made this series posible on DVD. Season 1, Volume 1 could have been better.
