Recap & Review: Fans of this series can breathe a little easier this week. The series has been picked up for a full season order by NBC. The series had four episodes ordered last week, and now another nine were ordered earlier this week. The series isn’t doing the best in the ratings, but it is doing better than some other series on NBC. One series that is getting low ratings on NBC is My Own Worst Enemy. That one is already in danger of being canceled. Knight Rider is just a fun show, so that might be part of what is saving it. Another part is that so much was put into this series, the network might not want to let it go just yet. Whatever the reason, Knight Rider is sticking around.

This week’s episode opens with a normal day. Michael is in KITT, and Billy has his own problems back at headquarters. Michael is sent on a new case after a military AWOL. During this mission, Michael will be on his own as he infiltrates this man’s organization to stop him from using explosives he is trying to get in his control. He won’t even be able to contact KITT. Michael finds the man’s second in command, and he gets into a verbal altercation with the man. KITT tries to stop him from going after the man, but Michael is set in going forward. He ends up captured by the group, and he is beat by the woman of the team. She is the girlfriend of the leader.

Michael appears to work his way into the group, and he contacts KITT briefly. He has cut all communication off with the team back at headquarters. When he comes out of the room where he went to talk to KITT, the woman is waiting for him, and they get into another fight. This time Michael gets the upper hand. That night, Michael tries to learn more about this group. He is trying to get to the leader’s tent. Once there, he and KITT hack the man’s computer with Sarah’s help from back at headquarters.

KITT finds traces of explosives, so Michael goes to investigate these. He is met by the woman, and he finds out she is on the inside from another agency. Cooperton finds out she and Michael are both there on missions, and sends men after them. KITT gets them out just in time, but he hits a mine when transforming. This sends the car crashing into a ditch, and KITT forces Michael to leave him behind. KITT goes to work on preparing himself, while Michael heads to the river since it is their best way out. However, the best way out involves a big drop to the river. They do make it out of the river, and they decide to cuddle for warmth. Cuddle naked. This leads to a bit more than cuddling, and Sarah gets the imaging of it from KITT as well.

The next morning, KITT repairs himself enough to evacuate Michael and Cassandra. He is still damaged. Cassandra doesn’t think much of KITT, but he changes her mind when he speeds up. He is able to catch up to Cooperton and his group. They look to be headed to a dam to blow it up. This sends everyone into action. Michael jumps from the front of KITT to the back of the truck to cut the bomb lines. He does this with help from Sarah and Billy. They find out the team is set to do a gold heist, but with KITT’s help they are captured.  Cassandra shares another moment with Michael, and after Billy improves on his lessons Zoe asks him to take her out, and Sarah is surprised on her birthday by Michael. He told Cassandra he was with someone else.

This episode was good. I won’t just say that because my current home town was featured in the episode. There is something about this series that I really like. Maybe its the fun factor. Maybe it is the whole back and forth between Sarah and Michael. I love this show though. I’m glad to see it sticking around for the rest of the season. What did you think of this week’s episode? No new Knight Rider next week. To find out when it is back, What’s Hot On TV will tell you.
