Silk Stalkings: Where There's A Will...
Overview
Chris and Rita investigate the death of Roland Ballentine. After talking to the deceased's doctor, they discover that the man was murdered; Roland had taken amal nitrate--something he would not have done on his own since he knew he had heart problems. Lance and Lorenzo talk to Roland's son Junior, a constant drunk, and his niece Claire. They find that Junior and Roland were sleeping with the same woman, Eve Kinsley--a stripper who worked for Donnie Dog's "Dream Girls". Chris and Rita also discover that Junior has a gambling problem, and that he needed the inheritance he got to pay off his debts--so all the evidence points to Junior. Meanwhile, Chris and Jillian discover some problems with their relationship when Chris over-reacts to Jillian's colleague's comments about their doctor-patient relationship; and the captain reveals his hobby of collecting baseball cards.
