In the third season premiere of Barney Miller, titled "Evacuation," the detectives of the 12th precinct find themselves dealing with the aftermath of a bomb threat made against the station. As tensions rise and the clock ticks down, the team must work quickly to evacuate the building and search for any potential threats.

As the episode opens, it's a typical day at the 12th precinct. Detective Ron Harris is trying out a new pair of shoes, while his colleagues Nick Yemana, Stanley Wojciehowicz, and Dietrich joke and banter around the office. But when they receive a bomb threat over the phone, everything changes.

Captain Barney Miller springs into action, working with the other detectives to clear the building and make sure everyone stays calm and organized. Meanwhile, the bomb squad and other law enforcement agencies descend upon the precinct to investigate the threat and search for any potential explosives.

As the detectives and other employees evacuate, tensions run high. There are several false alarms and scares, and at one point Harris is nearly injured when a window shatters from an explosion outside. The team works together to keep everyone safe, however, and eventually the all-clear is given.

But even after the immediate threat is dealt with, the repercussions of the scare linger. The detectives are forced to confront their fears and anxieties, and they spend the rest of the episode reflecting on their experiences and how they can try to move forward in the face of such unpredictable danger.

As always, the episode is full of witty banter and clever one-liners, but it also tackles some serious topics. The fear and uncertainty surrounding bomb threats and terrorism is very real, and the detectives of Barney Miller do a great job of showing how law enforcement responds to threats like these.

Overall, "Evacuation" is a tense and exciting premiere that sets up the rest of the season nicely. Fans of the show will enjoy seeing their favorite characters band together in the face of adversity, and newcomers will get a great introduction to the quick-witted and clever world of Barney Miller.
