494'Feeding Frenzy'Russ MayberryStory by : Lester Wm. Berke & Donald L. Gold
Teleplay by : Stephen J. Cannell
October 15, 1976
The father, Charly Baylock (Eddie Firestone), of Sandy, a former fiancé of Rockford's wants to return the half-million dollars he stole three years ago. He wants to return it anonymously using Jim as a go-between. Sandy is played by Susan Howard. Matters go terrible, and Sandy is kidnapped twice. Jim is charged with robbery after the fact by a Lieutenant Hall (Richard LePore), from another Division, who seems a little too eager, maybe because he has a stake in the $500,000.
505'Drought at Indianhead River'Lawrence DohenyStephen J. CannellNovember 5, 1976
Rockford asks a Mob friend, David Marcon (Vincent Baggetta), whether he's seen Angel lately, and he answers 'Oh, haven't you heard, he died.' Jim asked when, and he answered 'tomorrow, or Thursday at the latest.' Jim tracks Angel down to warn him, and he is living the high life in a penthouse apartment. David's Uncle, Dominic Marcon (Robert Loggia), finds out that he blabbed and orders him to do the hit, since he should clean up his own mess. A warned Angel's twice as hard to hit.
516'Coulter City Wildcat'Russ MayberryDon Carlos DunawayNovember 12, 1976
After winning an oil rights lottery, Rocky is assaulted and forced to sign over the rights to an oil lease.
527'So Help Me God'Jeannot SzwarcJuanita BartlettNovember 19, 1976

Rockford receives a subpoena to appear before a Grand Jury investigating the disappearance of Frank Sorvino. This episode exposes the unfairness of the Grand Jury system. Specifically

  • Once you answer any question, you can no longer take the 5th amendment.
  • If you refuse to testify (after the first question) you can be imprisoned for the duration of the Grand Jury.
  • Even if you invoke the 5th amendment properly, the prosecutor can still apply for 'immunity' from the 5th amendment and subpoena you again and require you to testify.

Jim was asked about a telephone conversation he supposedly had with Frank Sorvino the day he disappeared, but Jim testified that the conversation never took place. But the Feds have a deposition from Sorvino's secretary saying she dialed the number and Jim answered, and Frank talked to him.

The second time Jim invokes the 5th correctly and the prosecutor, Gary Bevins (William Daniels), dismisses Rockford and says he will apply for immunity from the 5th. Jim makes an angry speech attacking Bevins personally for violating his rights and having more contempt for the law than anyone Jim did time with. (Bevins told the Grand Jury that Jim had a record, but wouldn't acknowledge the fact that he received a full pardon.) Jim was cited for contempt and ends up back in the slammer. Angel visits Jim there with a photograph of the camera shy Frank Sorvino for which he charges $50, and Jim recognizes Sorvino as his client George Capmann, and all becomes clear. Jim is viciously attacked in prison by Sorvino's goons to stop him testifying and ends up in hospital. All charges are dropped and Jim testifies to what he now knows, which is probably enough to indict Sorvino, but Gary Bevins is ungrateful. Rockford is dismissed, but the foreman allows him to make a final statement in which he quotes from an article he read in prison to the effect that any injustice, no matter how small, hurts all of us. When Bevins doesn't get the point, Jim reveals that the article was quoting him.

A printed statement appears on the screen to the effect that the laws regarding Grand Juries allow the injustices portrayed here to occur.

538'Rattlers' Class of '63'Meta RosenbergDavid ChaseNovember 26, 1976
Angel is getting married to Regine Boyajian (Elayne Heilveil), and Jim is best man in a David Chase episode that shows Angel's human side. Angel is working a variation of the Red Barn scam on Regine's brothers, pretending to buy their garbage dump, not realizing that some members of a biker gang killed two Rattlers in 1963 and buried them there and will kill to prevent development of the land fill.
549'Return to the Thirty-Eighth Parallel'Bruce KesslerWalter DallenbachDecember 10, 1976
A Korean War Army buddy, Brennan (Ned Beatty), drops in on Jim saying he's out of a job. He lost his job as muscle for a collection agency when they went bankrupt. A woman knocks on the trailer door and wants to hire Jim to find her sister. Jim says he doesn't take missing person cases, but Brennan says he will take it. Jim and Brennan start working the case together. It is revealed that Brennan is working freelance for an insurance company to find a Ming vase that was stolen from the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and the woman with the sister was a prostitute he hired. They both figure out that the Ming vase is on a train and eventually find it in a crate in the luggage compartment. The gangster who bought the vase appears and there is a scuffle, and ever the screw up, Brennan throws it off the train, and nobody ever finds it.
5510'Piece Work'Lawrence DohenyJuanita BartlettDecember 17, 1976
While investigating an accident claim at a health club, Rockford is taken for a cop by Murray Rosner (Michael Lerner) and other club members planning an illegal arms deal. They attack Jim in his trailer and drop a prescription drug vial with Fred Mollin's name on it. After Becker runs the name through I and I, Rockford starts following Mollin and witnesses an arms buy. Jim informs Dennis and the resulting bust gains him a commendation and ups his pay grade, and Jim gets a reward of $5,000 from the Feds. It turns out that Murray Rosner was doing piece work for them,
5611'The Trouble with Warren'Christian I. Nyby IIJuanita BartlettDecember 24, 1976
Beth's cousin Warren Weeks (Ron Rifkin) has an IQ of 158 and is a brilliant chess player. He's having a bad day--he is fired from his job at Leftcourt Electronics and accused of murder. Beth pleads with Jim to investigate the case. Jim is told that Warren was having an affair with Perry Leftcourt's wife Catherine.
5712'There's One in Every Port'Meta RosenbergStephen J. CannellJanuary 7, 1977

5813'Sticks and Stones May Break Your Bones, but Waterbury Will Bury You'Jerry LondonDavid ChaseJanuary 14, 1977
A woman is setting up private investigators for her crimes.
5914'The Trees, the Bees and T.T. Flowers: Part 1'Jerry LondonGordon DawsonJanuary 21, 1977
Thomas Tyler Flowers (Strother Martin) , a friend of Rocky's, is declared incompetent and committed against his will to Horizons Crest, where he is given drugs to make him appear paranoid and delusional. His daughter Cathy (Karen Machon) had been convinced by her husband, Sherman Royle (Alex Rocco), to commit her father, because he wants to inherit his 10 acres and sell it to developer Jack Muellard (Scott Brady), who will build apartments on it.

Flowers says he won't leave until the bulldozers leave. His daughter finally agrees to stop the sale of the land to Muellard, and so the head of the swat team orders the bulldozers to leave, and Flowers comes out, drops his gun, and the crisis ends. Feeling events getting away from him, Muellard, who is the ring leader, resorts to murder and violence, but the story ends with the perpetrators being arrested.

To help him out, Jim introduces him to the slick P.I. Marcus Aurelius 'Gabby' Hayes, played by Louis Gossett Jr.. Gabby pumps Gandy and finds out the case Rockford is working on. So what we have are two investigative teams working on the same case. A classic scene ensues when Gabby and Gandy follow up a lead to a bar. When they go inside it's filled with Neo Nazis in uniform who say 'We don't allow no cocoanuts in here.' The inevitable fist fight ensues with Gandy coming out on top, and they meekly provide information to the 'brothers.'
