Recap & Review: Knight Rider rides onto our screen for another episode before taking a bit of a break next week. This week’s episode starts with Mike arresting a man that we find out is involved in a big heist. The heist is so special that no one has met before, and their identities are only known as signs of the zodiac. Once they find out more details of the heist, Knight Industries sends his Mike in place of the man only known as Virgo. He takes Billy as back up on this one, and they go to Vegas for the meeting. The location was moved from Anchorage, but Mike has no problems with the change in locale.
He and Billy arrive in Vegas, and they go straight to their hotel called Corsica.Mike is able to pass initial fingersprint inspection thanks to KITT changing his fingerprints before he goes in. However, there is a problem. The head of the operation, Capricorn, has an ID for the real Virgo. The Capricorn is Steve Cordoba, and he is the head of the security at the hotel they are, but he has been let go. He wants one last heist before he loses his source of place to launder the money they make. A big heist. Mike is able to get around the ID with the help of KITT, and after a bit more time Steve finally confides in Mike.
The last big job will involve the casino. Mike tells Carrie back at headquarters. They are trying to figure out why he would want to rob his own hotel right before he is officially let go. KITT has an idea though. The car suggests that the man is looking to make himself look good by stopping the robbery so he can keep his job. He can always form a new team if he needs it. At the next meeting of the zodiac group, they are told their plans and when it will happen. The heist will happen that day. The score is $30 million dollars divided up by the group.
The heist goes down perfectly, and Mike is the last to arrive at the drop site. Turns out Mike’s cover wasn’t as good as he thought. Virgo ends up being the fall guy for the heist. The rest of the team is able to find Mike’s location, and Billy takes KITT. They are able to rescue him.
As for Billy, he has his own things happening this week. While waiting around the hotel to see what happened to Mike, he mets a woman at the blackjack table. The two connect, but she leaves. He calls Zoe back at headquarters for advice. Once he tells about it, she helps him find the woman’s room and sends a little help. Looks like Billy is getting some vacation sex. The next morning, it looks like he might get played though. Courtney tells him she lied about being wealthy. She owes student loans, and she lost her tuition money at the tables. He tells her he hopes she isn’t lying to him, and he will check. However, he goes for the money. He also wins.
Charles also has some things to deal with in a woman from his past. An ex girlfriend who seems quite interested in KITT. She keeps asking him about the car, and he finally gives in and tells her some about KITT. Not all though. In fact, what he does tell her isn’t even true. However, he’ll still meet her in her hotel room for sex. This episode was fun. Billy got the girl. Mike and him completed the mission. No awkward tension between Mike and Sarah to make things too interesting. Just a simple fun episode. Bad news here is no new Knight Rider episodes until after the holidays. Knight Rider will return with all new episodes in January. What did you think of this week’s episode of Knight Rider? For daily tv listings, check here.
