Reno Raines (Lorenzo Lamas) saves the life of a man (Pete Koch) when his car is plunged into a lake by another car. To show his gratitude, the man invites him to his small Tennessee hometown. It won't take long for Reno to figure out that this man is a loathsome bully who rules the town by his fist, and he decides to stand up to him on behalf of the entire town population. However, his secret - the fact that he's a wanted fugitive - is soon exposed, he gets arrested and only bounty hunters / computer experts Bobby (Branscombe Richmond) and Cheyenne (Kathleen Kinmont) can help him, from a distance....Enjoyable second episode, with a nice car stunt at the beginning, a convincingly slimy performance by Koch, a sweet-as-honey Michelle McCormick, and another barely-there outfit for Kathleen Kinmont, who must have been hitting the gym a lot at the time. (**1/2)

Reno (Lorenzo Lamas) saves Boone (Pete Koch) whose car gets rammed off the road and into the river. After pulling him out of the river, Boone shows his gratitude by inviting Reno to his place and then to the local bar. Reno soon learns that Boone is a violent robber and mugger. Reno stops him the hard way, forces him to give back what he had taken from the other people, and throws him out of town. However, Boone isn't going to just let it go - having seen Reno's wanted poster, he informs the police of his whereabouts.

A solid episode with some good fights. Renegade is like a western, but set in modern times, and Lorenzo Lamas as Reno plays a lone fighter against justice. I like small town settings, the community are typically "Aww shucks, Ben".
