The Dollhouse: Antepenultimate episode of season 4. Sunday Theodore is back as Twink in her second and final appearance in the series. It was fun to have her back here. Also making a return and final appearance in the series is LQ Jones as Nathan 'Duke' Wayne. Quite terrifying the human dollhouse that got presented here with a dash of Psycho as it has skeletal corpse of a dead parent.

Hog Calls: Penultimate episode of season 4. Guest stars Shauna Sand and Danny Trejo. Not bad twist with the Shauna Sand character. Attorney Joanna Muir has possession of the Hound Adams tapes and but before she could reveal their location something very unfortunate happens to her. In retrospect I should have known that getting the tapes was not going as easy as it was going to be.

The Road Not Taken: Season 4 finale. Similar in name to the Torchwood episode End of the Road which is part of Torchwood's own fourth season. End of the Road is the antepenultimate episode of the fourth Torchwood season and while Torchwood has not officially been cancelled and in reference to the Renegade episode title, Torchwood is really undergoing a case of a road that is yet if ever to be taken. The Road Not Taken is the last episode to feature Kathleen in the title sequence even though she made her last physical appearance six episodes earlier in Rio Reno. In fact The Road Not Taken like Rio Reno delves into an alternative reality without any apparent reason why this has taken place for a series that generally isn't a sci-fi/fantasy one. This is a take on It's A Wonderful Life as it look at how things could have been if things had turn out differently. In fact not only is that movie gets reference here although not by name but the name of the bounty is called Henry Travis, a slight variation in name to Henry Travers who was the actor who played Clarence the guardian angel in that movie. In the alternative reality Sixkiller Enterprises has been abandoned for some time and is now the venue of a bikini market. As this is the final episode in which Kathleen got credited, I would like to think the bikini business is a nod to Kathleen in Fraternity Vacation where she wore a bikini that ultimately got taken off. The owner of the bikini business the character of which is credited as rollerblader (even though she wasn't wearing rollerblades perhaps she just look like one) is played by Tina New, a knockout. Tina is a knockout with her wearing a pink bikini top and incidentally Barbara wore a pink bikini in Fraternity Vacation. Fascinating look of what this world could have been in a different direction and should not be surprised by what ultimately happened to Henry Travis at the end.

Bounty Hunter of the Year: Season 5, Episode 19. In retrospect I should have figured that the episode title would indicate that this is going to be a clip show. The excellent thing about it is that we get to see, perhaps for the last time in the series, former series regular and my wife Kathleen as Cheyenne in a clip from 3.13 Rancho Escondido and I was able to identify that episode as it also included guest star Barbara Niven. Cheyenne still does not get a mention in the newly filmed scenes nor in any of the clips from episodes when she was a series regular but not seen in those clips as well. This was the fourth to last episode of the series and it seems that at this time the Renegade team knew the end was coming and perhaps running out of ideas as the series closes. Therefore might as well put in this episode reminding viewers of the good times the series presented. An enjoyable episode in which Bobby gets the titular award and nice phrasing of that time from The Three Musketeers.

The Bad Seed: Series finale. Sandra Ferguson as Sandy is not in this episode meaning that the previous and penultimate episode The Maltese Indian was her final episode. Series creator Stephen J Cannell as Dutch along with the other main cast makes his last appearance in the series. Cannell made himself a series regular in this series he created for the fifth and final season replacing Kathleen. However despite being credited and seen in the title sequence for all the season's 22 episodes, he provided a new performance as Dixon in four of these episodes. Even Sandra Ferguson as Sandy who was really Kathleen's true replacement made her recurring appearance more than Cannell's aforementioned four episodes in this final season in 11 episodes, two of which Cannell was in as Dixon. Kathleen provided new performances as Cheyenne in 55 episodes across the first four seasons and that on average is about 14 episodes per season and those average number of episodes is more than Ferguson's and Cannell's appearances in the fifth season alone. Donny breaks out of prison and seeks revenge on the death of his mother whom he ultimately finds out that his father Dutch was responsible for. Not bad Dutch being tricked to confessing in killing his wife and the series ends with Dutch on the run as a fugitive and Reno and Bobby going after him both for the bounty and clearing Reno's name.
Whether it was known or not that this was going to be the final episode at the time of filming, The Bad Seed certainly provides an adequate way to end the series leaving things ambiguous about whether Dutch would be brought to justice and the clearing of Reno's name.

Having now seen all the Renegade episodes, two of Kathleen's Fraternity Vacation co-stars guested on the series and during Kathleen's time on the series, that of Sheree Wilson and John Vernon.
However the one Fraternity Vacation reunion I would have like to have seen with Kathleen is that of Barbara.
During Kathleen's time on Renegade between 1992 and 1996, Barbara had mainly been working on the soap opera Guiding Light & then The Bold and The Beautiful but it seems no opportunity arise for her to be reunited with Kathleen in Renegade.
Looks like Fraternity Vacation will forever be their Paris.
