Guest star Maureen McCormick as a model/call girl (!) Yes. Her character's name is Cindy. That had to be a reference to her Brady Bunch roots. Maureen is actually very good in this role. It's not difficult to accept her "less-than-wholesome" character. James Olsen as her whacko father. Not quite believable casting. How could he have such a pretty daughter? The story plays well (despite Michael Douglas having left the show at this point). Interestingly, Robert Reed also appeared in a previous episode of the series. I guess they wouldn't have wanted Reed to play her father in this episode. Imagine him lecturing her about the immorality of being a call girl! As I said, Maureen is good here. It's sometimes good to see an actor outside the role they are most closely associated with.

Maureen McCormick

Perhaps the creepiest episode in this whole series with Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady!!) as a call girl. McCormick appeared in several 70's TV dramas after The Brady Bunch ended and here she is the main guest star as a college student who models but also hooks on the side. James Olson as usual plays a creepy guy, in this case Maureen's father, who kills people who exploit his daughter (not a spoiler).
The weirdest thing in the episode is that McCormick's character kisses her father ON THE LIPS a lot in this episode!! In fact McCormick kisses multiple much older men including series co-star Richard Hatch. Very weird - especially given the creepiness of this whole episode.
The episode is decent although the crime-solving is a bit contrived with a few easily-found clues.
