Crystal Mason: Ms. Prentiss!
Amy Prentiss: No, Crystal, it's Mrs. Prentiss. M-R-S. Alan Prentiss died in the service of his country, and I'm proud to have been his wife. And if you ever misquote me again, in fact maybe if you ever quote me again, I'm going to have that irresponsible rag of yours send you out to the middle of some ocean to get the inside story on the birth of a live volcano. Awfully nice talking to you.

Featured review
Enter Amy Prentiss
This Ironside episode served as a pilot for the Amy Prentiss series with the Ironside regulars and semi-regulars worked into the plot, but only peripherally. For example Johnny Seven as Lieutenant Reese is part of a shooting board.
Jessica Walter as Amy Prentiss scores first on a civil service exam and the brass is hoping she'll turn down the promotion, but she accepts and becomes Chief of the SFPD Detective Division.
The shooting that is being investigated is by William Shatner who was pursuing a fleeing felon. Someone took a shot at him and he returned fire. But no weapon was found on the deceased.
The character of Amy Prentiss is a most conservative female. She says she wants to be addressed as Mrs. Prentiss as she is the proud widow of a war hero. She also dresses down a feminist writer who tries to create some cheap publicity over her promotion.
To be continued in the concluding episode.
