Cagney and Lacey: The Return summaries

It's six years later. Mary Beth has done her 20 years and is collecting her pension. The boys are out of the house (why don't we have grandchildren?) and Alice is in school. Chris is married! He's a wealthy businessman who went to law school with Bill Clinton. She's been promoted to lieutenant and is chief investigator for the D.A.'s office, reporting to A.D.A. Feldberg. Chris throws a retirement party for Samuels, at which Harvey has a heart attack. So Mary Beth needs a job and a medical plan. Guess who needs help? The police case involves stolen guns and a dead cop. The original suspect is Sgt. Petrie, but the fine hand of Bruce Mansfield is again seen. To complicate matters, Chris' husband has been offered a big job in Washington and he wants Chris to go.

They're back and they're as dynamic a partnership as ever. Six years on and Christine and Mary-Beth have lost touch; Cagney is married to a rich businessman and works in the D.A.'s office and Lacey is just a housewife. But they meet at Cagney's party where Lacy's husband, Harvey, has a massive heart attack. Now she must find a job to support her family and home. Cagney, who is working on a murder inquiry and stolen weapons heist, arranges to have Lacey as a temporary 'partner' to help solve the crimes. This powerful drama is a taut mystery, combining action and suspense with moments of heart-wrenching emotion. The duo dice with danger and death as they place joint pressure on the major suspect, one of the underworld's most villainous and ruthless men with a personal vendetta against Christine Cagney.
