The wealthy Vincent Le Mer has been missing for seven years, and is about to be declared legally dead. His daughter, Janet, has not been in contact with the family for some time; so his second wife will inherit the estate. Kelly shows up at the house, posing as Janet Le Mer. Mrs. Le Mer and her associates accept her story, but try to poison her. Kelly is exposed as a fraud when the family receives word that the "real" Janet (actually Sabrina) is on her way to town. Kelly claims to have inside information about the Le Mer fortune, and promises to keep quiet about the attempt on her life in exchange for a share of the estate. Sabrina shows no interest in the inheritance, save for a portion of swampland that she would like to convert into a bird sanctuary. Bosley snoops around the swamp and allows one of Mrs. Le Mer's cohorts to capture him. He claims that there is oil on the property. Panicked, the man tries to dig up Mr. Le Mer's body and remove it before the property transfer can take place.

St. Clair is considered the prime suspect, until his estranged wife is strangled while he is with Kelly. Suspicion then falls on Jesse Woodman, a public relations official with a previous conviction for aggravated assault; but another (non-fatal) attack occurs while Woodman is dining with Jill. Sabrina arranges a date with photographer/porn director Alec Witt, and finds a photograph of the three victims with exes drawn over their faces. Kelly arrives to help her fend off an attack from the overzealous Witt. Jill has dinner with Heinz Brandon, a strange and lonely costumer. He leaves after stepping away to take a phone call; and is found dead in a church confessional after an apparent suicide, leaving behind a note in which he confesses to the murders. Jill suspects foul play, noting that Heinz--a devout Catholic--would never have killed himself. Sabrina discovers that St. Clair had taken out a large life insurance policy in his wife's name. He collaborated with Woodman and Witt to strangle the three women to make it appear that his wife's death was the work of a serial killer.

They must fly to Hawaii after Charlie calls and reveals that he has been kidnapped from his boat. The Angels meet Charlie's captor, a cunning young smuggler named Leilani Sako. She threatens to kill Charlie unless the Angels help her husband Billy escape from prison. Sabrina determines that they will break Billy out, and then return him after Charlie is safe. Billy's lawyer arranges for a court hearing, and the Angels and Bosley set up an elaborate scheme to stage an accident and spring him from a police car. The Angels grow concerned over the interference from one of Leilani's rivals; who attempts a hit on Leilani, shoots Billy's sister, and threatens Kelly. Leilani loses Charlie to the competitor, Alfred Blue, but still hopes to force the Angels to return her husband. Sabrina emphatically states that she will not see Billy again unless she helps them find Charlie. Blue tries to cut his own deal for Billy. A man's body washes up on the beach--with Charlie's identification in his back pocket.

One of Leilani's men tries to kidnap them to set up an exchange for Billy, but Blue's men drive the attackers away. Leilani assures Kris and Kelly that she had nothing to do with the kidnap attempt, and promises that there will be no further interference. Kris finds Sammy at a nude beach, where he is preaching about the dangers of too much sun. She must discard her clothes to get onto the beach and talk to him, prompting much teasing from Kelly and Sabrina. Sammy tells Kris that Blue is most likely holding Charlie on his yacht. The Angels cannot call the police because they would get into hot water for springing Billy. Sabrina contacts Blue and pretends that she wants to turn over Billy in exchange for cash and future employment opportunities.

The trio sneaks on board the boat, where Kris barricades herself in the engine room and Kelly takes over the bridge.

Angels in the Backfield (airdate: Jan. 25, 1978)
Amy Jarvis, player/owner of a women's professional football team, seeks the Angels' help after two thugs on motorcycles attack one of her players on the practice field. Her team, the Ducks, is scheduled to play an exhibition game at the Los Angeles Coliseum the following week. Charlie notes that Sabrina and Kelly once took part on a police football team, and instructs the Angels to go undercover as members of the Ducks. Julia Smyth, owner of the Ducks' opponent, tries to recruit quarterback Sabrina for her team. Sabrina notices that Julia rides a motorcycle, and suspects that she might be involved in the attack. Kelly and Kris hope to wrap up the case before the game so that they don't have to play, while Sabrina wants to teach the overconfident Julia a lesson. A mean-spirited woman named Grinelda continually takes cheap shots at Kris during practice. She taunts Kris and nearly baits her into a fight, but Kelly shows up and kicks her ass. Bosley develops a rapport with Pokey, a receiver who often becomes confused on the field because she suffers from dyslexia. Kelly befriends Joe Phillips, a washed-up ex-jock who frequently attends the Ducks' practices. The motorcyclists attack Kelly and Joe in a parking lot after their lunch date. Kelly draws a sketch of one of the bikes, and Bosley tracks down the name of individuals who have recently purchased that model. Kelly and Kris visit a garage, only to discover Joe and some friends leaving in a van. Kris finds a blueprint of the Coliseum on the premises. They realize that Joe and his friends are planning to steal the proceeds from the previous night's rock concert. They tried to scare the Ducks so that the game would be cancelled or moved, leaving the stadium vacant. After foiling the heist, the Angels learn that Grinelda and Julia are old friends; Grinelda was obviously planted to steal the Ducks' plays. The Angels take the field with a 13-point deficit and under two minutes to play. They thwart Grinelda by changing plays among themselves after leaving the huddle. Kelly scores a touchdown, and Kris recovers the kick-off after Sabrina convinces Grinelda that she is going to attempt an onside kick. Sabrina finally calls a pass play to Pokey, aware that she will run the wrong direction and be left open. She scores a touchdown with no time remaining, and Amy kicks the winning extra point and gains the approval of her gruff father.

Kris and beach security guard Dave Christopher trail Gerson to the Santa Monica pier and look through his van.

She learns that Melissa is married to Dave, who hopes to get a large piece of her company in the divorce settlement. Gerson attacks Kris at her beach house, but Sabrina and Kelly arrive to help. Dave shows up conveniently and hauls Gerson into jail. The next day, Lt. Francona smugly warns Kris that Gerson made bail. Sabrina notes the victims' physical resemblance to Melissa and suspects that Dave plans to kill her and take her fortune; he arranged the other murders so that her death would appear to be the work of a serial killer. Melissa believes her theory is crazy, as Dave has just agreed to grant the divorce. Melissa meets Dave at the vacant pier amusement park, where she finds that Gerson is dead. Dave gloats that he will murder Melissa; then tells everyone that he captured the "sandcastle killer," but killed him in a struggle. The Angels emerge and pursue him.

Jill returns to Los Angeles after receiving an emergency telegram supposedly sent by Kris. She gets a message asking her to meet Paul Ferrino, an ex-boyfriend who once gave her a job on his racing team, in a parking lot. Paul claims not to have sent the message, and suspects that someone is using her to find him. Jill takes off on the back of Paul's motorcycle without telling her sister or friends where she is going. Paul shows off his new car, which has a super turbo-charged engine that burns far less fuel than the average car. He hopes to receive a patent for his invention and become wealthy, but needs Jill to drive it in the U.S. Grand Prix to prove that it is safe. Jill runs into her fiancé, Steve Carmody, who has followed her back from Europe. Paul's car suddenly bursts into flames, injuring mechanic Danny Bligh. The fire is quickly extinguished, but Paul suspects sabotage. Kris is shocked to see a woman named Andrea Lassiter kissing Steve at a press conference; but Steve immediately confesses the incident to Jill and insists that he has no interest in Andrea. Kelly, posing as a magazine reporter, pries information about Paul's enemies from Danny. A background check reveals that Steve has heavy gambling debts and once got into a fight with Paul after the latter cheated in a race.

As he brings the car back in, it explodes and kills him. Danny informs Andrea that he is going on the lam. While Kris tries to console a devastated Jill, the others track down Danny. Bosley hitches his trailer and drives it to the police station, and Sabrina and Kelly jump inside and demand some answers. Danny reveals that he built two bombs, under orders from Paul. Paul was the one who planted the bombs. His invention had failed, so he decided to blow up the car (staging the earlier explosion so that he could claim sabotage) and get a grant to start over.

Kris, Kelly and Sabrina offer Jill their love and support; and cheer her a little by putting together a picnic on the beach and making fun of Bosley.

Claire Rossmore, Bosley's bridge partner, believes that her dead nephew Martin has spoken to her at the psychic institute she has funded since his death in a motorcycle crash five years earlier. Bosley believes that someone is trying to scam Claire out of her money, as she had threatened to withdraw her support unless they succeeded in making contact with Martin.

A stubborn Hansworth refuses to consider leaving town or quitting the competition. Sabrina notes the odd behavior of a ski jumper named Paolo, who blows up at a fan for snapping a photograph.

A witness reports that the vehicle had advertising for a resort called Georgian Acres painted on the door. The witness had actually been promised money to lead the Angels to the resort; Kris's captors decide to kill him instead. The Angels receive a telegram that gives the impression that the kidnappers actually meant to nab Jill. Jill flies in from Montreal to help with the case. The foursome heads for the resort, with Bosley disguised as a Scottish golfing aficionado to hide his identity from the kidnappers. Bosley recognizes the tennis instructor as one of the men who grabbed Kris, so Jill tries to make time with him. Jill and Sabrina catch a man rummaging through Jill's room, and he drops his room key in his haste to escape. Sabrina poses as a maid to get into the man's room, and covertly snaps a photograph. She finds an address scribbled on a piece of paper next to a picture of Kris. Kelly and Sabrina drive to that location, and the man holding Kris orders his associate to follow and kill them. Sabrina realizes that the kidnappers have deliberately left them false clues to get them out of the way. She knocks out the man pursuing them, but the tennis instructor grabs Jill in the meantime. Bosley follows them to a gated house. Ruiz tells Jill that Anton Karazna arranged Kris's kidnapping. He is certain that his son Dino deliberately crashed his car during a race to kill himself because he was devastated by his break-up with Jill. Karazna made Jill believe she was the intended kidnap victim so that she would feel guilty. Jill insists that her split with Dino was amicable. She says that he crashed his car because he was a lousy driver; he had been a sensitive and poetic man forced to pursue macho activities in order to please his domineering father. Karazna plans to fly Jill and Kris to Mexico and kill them. Bosley, Kelly and Sabrina chase after Karazna's car, and Jill and Kris escape. Karazna tries to flee in his plane while his henchmen are engaging the Angels in gunfire. Kelly shoots his engine and forces him to crash into a mountain and blow up.

A man with a gun arrives in Los Angeles and begins secretly following Bosley. Bosley approaches a woman in a restaurant and develops a rapport with her, but has to leave for the office. He grows frustrated with his life, as he is tired of doing all the paperwork while the Angels are out in the field. In order to prove that he is not predictable, he decides to play a game with them. He declares that he is leaving, and challenges the Angels to figure out where he has gone; he will call and provide a clue every two hours. Bosley returns to the restaurant to meet up with Ellen, and they head for the amusement park at the pier. In the meantime, Charlie calls the office and announces that Harrison Wellman, a man whom Bosley helped send to prison with his testimony, has been paroled after serving eight years for murdering his wife. Someone shoots at Bosley and Ellen as they walk along the beach. After discovering that the bullets were blanks, he jumps to the conclusion that the Angels are messing with his head. They become very concerned and ask him to come back to the office, but he refuses. Ellen behaves very strangely as Bosley mentions Wellman's release. She recalls that Wellman insisted his wife's shooting was an accident, and implies that it is Bosley's fault that he was sent to prison. Charlie tells the Angels that Wellman suffered a heart attack just after his release and probably will not survive. However, his brother Lawrence flew to Los Angeles earlier in the day. Sabrina figures out where Bosley is, and the Angels race for the pier to help him. Ellen drugs Cast Bosley's coffee to immobilize him, and then holds him at gunpoint. She is Wellman's sister, and is certain that Bosley perjured himself to set up her brother. Bosley insists that Wellman really did murder his wife, and that he was only doing his job. Realizing that Ellen will not really harm him, he climbs out of the car during a traffic jam and stumbles away. Lawrence chases him under the boardwalk and tries to shoot him. He still tries to fire even after the Angels surround him, so Sabrina wounds him. Lawrence and Ellen are taken into police custody, and Charlie sends Bosley to the Bahamas for a vacation.

Rosemary, For Remembrance
(airdate: May 2, 1979)
Jake Garfield, a prohibition-era gang who has just been released from prison after serving a long sentence for tax evasion and other crimes, narrowly eludes several attempts on his life. Jake's nephew, Tim Stone, convinces him to hire the Angels for protection. Jake has demanded that the police re-open the 40-year-old investigation of his wife Rosemary's murder. He believes that his rival, Lawrence Renaldi, mistakenly killed Rosemary while trying to take out Jake. Renaldi insists that he is innocent, but Sabrina and Bosley suspect that he is trying to silence Jake out of fear that the investigation might prove that Renaldi is not the legitimate businessman he claims to be. Renaldi and Gordon Sanders, the police lieutenant originally assigned to the case, believe that Jake actually killed Rosemary. Tim insists that Kris stay at Jake's mansion and serve as his bodyguard. She soon discovers that she looks exactly like Rosemary, and Jake has a difficult time keeping in touch with reality. Kelly and Sabrina recommend that she get out of the house after someone tries to shoot at her, but Kris insists on staying. The maid reveals that she saw Jake retrieve his gun on the night of the murder, after the philandering Rosemary decided to run off with the chauffeur. Kris accuses Tim of using her because of her resemblance to Rosemary. He admits that he was hoping she could restore Jake's memory so that he might remember the whereabouts of Rosemary's diamond necklace, which was never found after her death. Tim needs the money to pay off all of his uncle's debts so that they won't lose the house. Kris ignores her friends' warning and decides to help Jake remember what happened the night of the murder. Jake becomes delusional and puts together a birthday party for Rosemary; he gives her present--the necklace--to Kris. Bosley poses as a syndicate representative and warns Renaldi to stop harassing Jake. Renaldi is found murdered shortly thereafter. Everyone assumes that Jake is to blame, so Kris decides to get out of the house as quickly as possible. Jake believes that Kris and Tim are actually Rosemary and the chauffeur, and goes after his gun. He takes back the necklace, but lets them leave without firing at them. Kris realizes that Jake could not have been the murderer, because Rosemary and the chauffeur were killed up the street. A car suddenly blocks their path, and Sanders emerges with a gun.
