Nocturne

The Equalizer Season 2 Episode 2: Nocture Aired on CBS: October 15, 1986 Directed by: Richard Compton Written by : Carleton Eastlake Featuring: Ashford and Simpson (yes the musical duo who gave us Solid as a Rock), Jessica Harper (Suspiria), Michael Parks (Kill Bill)

True, it's getting harder to watch old Equalizers lately: it's somehow disappeared from Roku apps and nbc.com is sometimes flaky ( https://www.nbc.com/the-equalizer ), BUT this is one jam-packed entertaining episode that needs to be seen. And yes sure true, the larger plot of this episode is a pretty rough (a woman hears the voice of her attacker who made her blind), BUT see what flowers are at your feet: a powerhouse cast; poetry analysis (which our own Chris Daniels guides us through); a blockbuster-grade plot to find the attacker through voice recognition; and, the purple jumpsuited elephant in the room, an extended musical performance by Ashford and Simpson! Absolutely not to be missed.
