Quincy, M.E.'s fourth season begins several hundred miles away from Los Angeles, home turf for feisty medical examiner Quincy (Jack Klugman). After he and his girlfriend Barbara (Sharon Acker) are nearly run off the road in a very minor car accident, Quincy discovers that the driver, a woman, is dead. Since the accident was hardly fatal, Quincy does a quick examination and learns to his horror that the woman's body is infected with a fatal toxin which has already killed two others--and may very well cause the death of Quincy's assistant Sam Fujiyama (Robert Ito). The series' real-life technical advisor Marc Scott Taylor) makes the first of several acting appearances in this episode as the temporary subsitute for the stricken Sam in this episode.
