A workmanlike episode from the mid-point of Season One.
Harm and Meg mesh well together on another investigation. she introduces him to the Texas "Hook-'em" horns hand -sign, as they begin to uncover links to the malign influence of LA gangs.
There is a touch of the "painting-by-numbers" approach to script writing. The final denouement sees Meg standing shoulder-to-shoulder alongside Harm, trading (single, automatic pistol) shots with (Uzi-like sub-machinegun-wielding) gang thugs, without being hit by a single round. Then someone sends in the marines and the gang members are all efficiently subdued.
A happy ending gives another lost soul a chance to train for something better in a civilian outreach program and the mystery is solved.
The only thing missing was Harm and Meg going back to the beach where they had been investigating earlier, then driving off westwards into the sunset...... Mike
