Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Dennis Haysbert, future star of such TV series as 24 and The Unit, appears in this episode as prison convict James Morgan. While Christine (Markie Post) carries on a pen-pal correspondence with Morgan, Roz (Marsha Warfield) manages to worm her way into the proceedings, whereupon the convict falls in love with her--and promptly escapes, hoping for a quickie romantic rendezvous before the cops close in. Meanwhile, Dan (John Larroquette) is in for a surprise when he puts the moves on attractive law student Rita Vargas (Lisa Waltz).
