Maverick Shoots Dead Joe Mannix
5 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Garner shooting Michael Connors is just a sideline to this one. Karen Steele (whose last guest TV role was ironically on Mannix in 1970) is the woman who becomes torn between Connors and Garner. She is plenty good looking and I bet in real life she could have handled both of them.

Molly (Steele) is involved in a bank heist of $100,000 dollars. She gets some really good embraces from both guys. Meanwhlle, there are several twists in the road including the planning of killing Maverick by shooting him in the face and passing him off as the other man (Connors) so that he and Molly can run off with $100,000 dollars togther.

Then things get complicated and finally, a really solid script and guest cast lead us to the good guy, Maverick, winning the day. While the formula would stay the same during the series run, this second episode is a really good start.
