Rancho Escondido: Season 3, Episode 13. Not bad episode about a runaway banker, a nefarious plastic surgeon and a good star in Barbara Niven. As much as it was nice seeing Barbara Niven it would have been just as good if Kathleen’s Fraternity Vacation co-star and fellow wife Barbara had been in this episode instead.

Cop For A Day: Season 3, Episode 14. No Kathleen here. Quite an adequate episode about an escaped lunatic posing as a cop for a couple of days despite what it says in the episode title. He certainly Bobby and me as a viewer fooled when we first see him at the beginning of the episode.

Stalker’s Moon: Season 3, Episode 15. Guest stars James Cromwell as the stalker and he was very good at it. Absolutely thrilling episode up to when the stalker finally gets arrested.

Repo Raines: Season 3, Episode 16. No Kathleen here. Guest stars Raquel Gardner and a few years after this episode she appeared in Species II in which she was naked with another woman, something which she has in common with Kathleen which makes it ironic that Kathleen and Raquel did not work together for Repo Raines. Enjoyable episode about repo men and Fred Lehne was very good as a wronged man out for revenge.

Ace in the Hole: Season 3, Episode 17. When a real estate agent gets killed, the bounty hunters then have to protect the real estate agent’s family in which his colourful past is revealed. George Gerdes excels well as the villain ‘Preacher’ Lomax and he sure was overzealous in his preaching.

Living Legend: Season 3, Episode 18. Guest stars Emily Procter, Mark Pellegrino and Michael Clarke Duncan. The episode title refers to a legendary bounty hunter Nathan Wayne Somehow it did not surprise me on the bounty that Wayne hunted here and the justification he made with the bounty he captured at the end. Not bad episode that essentially states what it really means to be a bounty hunter.

Family Ties: Season 3, Episode 19. Kathleen only appears in one scene towards the end of the episode in which she got reunited with guest star John Vernon her co-star in Fraternity Vacation. Here she gives him a whacking something which she didn't do in the said movie. Vernon had a previous reunion with Kathleen in Renegade in the season 1 episode Lyon’s Roar in which he played a different villain. As to Kathleen’s scene here it was quite clever when she posed as a decoy to the protectee Grace (Jessica Collins). Enjoyable episode even if Grace was barely tolerable as a character. Grace’s mother Virginia (Arlene Dahl) is a redhead who said that she went through a Pygmalion stage in her life. Coincidentally fellow redhead Karen Gillan starred in the recent short-lived series Selfie that was inspired by Pygmalion. Funnily enough Kathleen was wearing a red top the same colour as Karen’s hair and had recently compared Kathleen and Karen in an analogy.

Broken on the Wheel of Love: Antepenultimate episode of season 3. No Kathleen here. This episode is about a country music singer whose life has been placed in danger. However what she turn out to be was disappointing and I sort of sensed it a moment beforehand.

Split Decision: Penultimate episode of season 3.’ Before finishing this episode saw the Sherlock Holmes (1954) episode which also has the word ‘split’ in the title The Case of the Split Ticket. Cheyenne gets seriously injured during a bust which led to unfortunate consequences. It has been said here that Cheyenne is hard to kill after she got seriously injured. Well Kathleen along with Barbara Crampton are forever immortal thanks to their scene in Fraternity Vacation. Cheyenne’s temporary replacement in the office Twink Boring was certainly fun and poor girl with her experience here. Twink Boring’s unusual name is matched by the name of the person who played her Sunday Theodore. It was funny that Twink took it literally about mending fences. Karen Fineman was nice as bar owner Ingrid. Unfortunately according to IMDb neither of these women lasted long in the acting business with only a handful of credits to their names. Playing the villain Ty Waitly was Trevor Goddard. This was his second and last appearance in the series and as a different character. Tragically he would die at the young age of 40 of an accidental drug overdose. Dutch Dixon sure showed what a cheapskate he is when he explained the reward of doing one’s civic duty.

Hit Man: Season 3 finale. No Kathleen here. The episode titular hit man is not someone one would normally feel sympathy for but it was sad when he got killed by Dutch Dixon. It was nice to see Courtney Peldon here as a young girl playing the hit man’s daughter.

Sawed-Off Shotgun Wedding: Season 4 opener. The wedding in question is one that took place out of practicality as well as love but it ultimately got stopped by Dutch Dixon. Dixon becomes a much more dangerous adversary when he becomes the marshal something he cheated in achieving by having his only competition getting murdered and looking like a hero by in turn killing the killer. In terms of narrative an enemy becoming more dangerous can only be a good thing.
This was originally shown on September 11 1995. 17 days earlier Kathleen’s Fraternity Vacation co-star and fellow wife Barbara Crampton made her first appearance as Maggie Forrester in The Bold and The Beautiful. Shortly after first seeing Barbara in The Bold and The Beautiful I saw her in Fraternity Vacation in which she did the infamous scene with Kathleen. Fraternity Vacation was the first time that I ever saw Kathleen and Barbara in The Bold and The Beautiful set the course of circumstances for Barbara and Kathleen to be forever rusted on my heart.

Honeymoon In Mexico: Season 4, Episode 2. No Kathleen here. Although the previous episode is called Sawed-Off Shotgun Wedding, Honeymoon In Mexico is in no way the immediate sequel to it as it is completely different storyline. Guest stars Jerry Doyle as villain Mo Moseley. When this episode was originally shown on September 18 1995, Doyle was playing his regular role of Michael Garibaldi in Babylon 5. Incidentally Garibaldi’s eventual wife in Babylon 5 was played by Denise Gentile and she too had earlier appeared in Renegade in 1.18 The Hot Tip. Kathleen’s absence was definitely made up here by Phaedra Nielson who made her entrance in a bikini. In fact it is reminiscent to where I first saw Kathleen in Fraternity Vacation in which she wore a bikini but ultimately it was seen to be removed from her body. Sadly however Phaedra Nielson’s bikini stayed on her body and the next time we saw her in the episode she was fully clothed. Oh well. Also sadly is that according to IMDb, Phaedra Nielson has seven credits to her name including Honeymoon In Mexico between 1995 and 2008, the first being in another Stephen J Cannell series Silk Stalkings and the longest interval in her credits was between 1998 and 2006. Quite a revelation about Amy and how it involved a counterfeiting operation. Cute at the end that the fake money was burn in the fire like marshmallows.

The Ballad of D.B. Cooper: Season 4, Episode 3. No Kathleen here. Instead Bobby talks to Cheyenne on the phone with us the viewer only seeing Bobby’s side of the conversation. This episode deals with the real-life legend that is D.B. Cooper and who was described here as a real-life Robin Hood. In absence of Kathleen, it was quite nice to see Tina Douglas played by red head Elisa Donovan. Pretty good resolution of what was ultimately done about DB Cooper which saw him being the beneficiary of the statues of limitations. This is in contrast that in real life due to the legal angles that came about because of what he did the statues of limitations aren’t sufficient enough to immune him from prosecution if he ever gets arrested in future, that is if he is even still alive.
On Wikipedia, I looked up Cooper in popular culture and other works he came up in included: “In Stephen King's novella Rita Hayworth & Shawshank Redemption, narrator Red says that Andy Dufresne (the inmate played by Tim Robbins in the later movie) jokingly theorized that D. B. Cooper was really one of the other convicts who had escaped from the prison.”
Coincidentally Robbins was a co-star of Kathleen’s in Fraternity Vacation.

Most Wanted: Season 4, Episode 4. Guest stars Stephanie Niznik and she has things in common with Kathleen. Both have done nude scenes in their career. In fact their nude debut saw them being naked with another woman. Kathleen appeared naked with Barbara Crampton in Fraternity Vacation while Stephanie appeared naked with Dana Delany in Exit To Eden. In fact Exit to Eden was released on October 14 1994 almost a year before the original airing of Most Wanted on October 2 1995. In fact Fraternity Vacation & Exit To Eden was the first time ever I saw Kathleen and Stephanie respectively. Those movies was also the first time I saw Barbara and Dana naked respectively but I had seen them before elsewhere fully clothed. So for me Stephanie is Kathleen’s counterpart in Exit To Eden as I initially thought of them as bonus women who got naked with other women that I was already familiar with in the respective movies but eventually liked them as equally as the other women. Most Wanted also guest starred another Kathleen, Kathleen Freeman. Freeman had been acting since 1948 and Most Wanted was done in her twilight years as she sadly died almost six years later on August 23 2001. Unfortunately the two Kathleens don’t have any scenes together here. Kathleen as Cheyenne said that she was having cramps and I would like to think that she was thinking of Barbara when she said that. Disappointed about the revelation of Stephanie’s character and that she was killed off by Kathleen as Cheyenne. Anyway I still love Kathleen K and Stephanie as well as Barbara and Dana as they all my beautiful wives.

Liar’s Poker: Season 4, Episode 5. No Kathleen here. There are some liars here as indicated in the title with escaped convict Julie and her lover the police chief Mike Turner. With the title it makes sense that telling lies does involve playing poker in a metaphorical sense but definitely was not impressed by the liars here. While I do not think this was necessarily a terrible episode but the said liars did not make this episode particularly enjoyable for me.
