This was a somewhat ponderous episode. It was rather slow moving with some weak character motivation, particularly from the villain. Michael Whitney plays a violent man named Ted Burton. While Bosley and the Angels are having a lunch at a Mexican restaurant, Burton's character violently attacks the restaurant owner in the back parking lot, eventually robbing and murdering him.
Kris leaves the lunch a little early and exits out to the back where her car is parked. It's there she witnesses Burton and tries to stop him but he backs his car up right into her, sending her flying into trash bins. The end result is that Kris suffers from a case of temporary amnesia.
She leaves the restaurant and ends up almost getting run over by a taxi. Famous little person Billy Barty plays a newspaper seller who witnesses it. Kris takes the taxi and it eventually drops her off at the beach, which is of course where she lives, so it's probably why she was drawn there.
When Kris doesn't show up to the office the next day the other Angels are immediately worried and begin the process of tracking her down.
While wandering the beach Kris finds trouble, first from a group of three vagrants who seek to rob her, then she runs into a homeless man in a tent who she ends up having a conversation with. Soon Kris is invited to join a group of people playing volleyball and having a cookout. Star Trek the Next Generation's Jonathan Frakes plays one of the group, and he shows genuine concern for her well-being, earning the wrath of his jealous girlfriend. Upon first viewing I did not even recognize Frakes as he was without his beard.
Meanwhile the Angels investigate the Mexican restaurant and start asking questions, and inexplicably Ted Burton returns to the scene of the crime. Michael Whitney as Burton is perfect as a villain, he's large and menacing and really seems like a sociopath. But his motivation for returning to the scene of the crime makes no sense. He even ingratiates himself with Sabrina and Kelly and gives them his real name to help them find Kris. It's all a ruse of course, because Burton wants to kill Kris for witnessing his crime. A crime he's already gotten away with and almost certainly would have had he not foolishly returned to the restaurant.
One other guest star of note is Jordan Ladd, Cheryl's two or three-year-old daughter, who plays Kris Monroe as a youngster in her own flashbacks. There are several scenes of Kris recalling her idealic childhood playing on the beach. My only criticism is there was no scene including her sister Jill.
A missed opportunity if you ask me, for the sake of continuity.
Overall the episode was a little slow but it does well to establish the great friendship among the Angels, that they genuinely care for each other.
