Synopsis by Hal Erickson

The opening episode of Quincy, M.E.'s eighth season finds medical examiner Quincy (Jack Klugman in the middle of another sociological dilemma. 14-year-old Ethan Kellough (DeVoreaux White, former member of a vicious street gang called the "Ravnes", is the prime suspect in the drive-by shooting of a child. The powers-that-be demanding Ethan's arrest have also targeted a halfway house for troubled children, run by inner-city activist Rick Dorado (Gregory Sierra), where Ethan is undergoing a rehab program. It is up to Quincy to determine Ethan's guilt or innocence--and, hopefully, to save Dorado's program from being closed down. Anita Gillette, who had appeared in an earlier Quincy episode as the hero's late wife Helen, joins the series' regular cast in the role of psychiatrist Emily Hanover.
