Charlie's Angels Season 2 Episode 19 Angels in the Backfield

Angels in the Backfield is the nineteenth episode of the second season of Charlie's Angels. The show follows the adventures of three beautiful women who work as private detectives for a mysterious and never-seen benefactor, Charlie. The episode opens with Kris Munroe (played by Cheryl Ladd) and Kelly Garrett (played by Jaclyn Smith) attending a charity football game between the LAPD and the CHP (California Highway Patrol), while their partner, Sabrina Duncan (played by Kate Jackson), is away on a personal trip.

The Angels are having a good time, but the game takes a dark turn when one of the LAPD players, Officer Bill Cartwright (played by Michael Young), is violently tackled and sent to the hospital with a serious spinal injury. The game becomes secondary as the Angels investigate Cartwright's injury, which they suspect may be a deliberate act of sabotage.

Their instincts are confirmed when they learn that Cartwright was receiving death threats in the days leading up to the game. The Angels quickly set to work, interviewing witnesses and potential suspects, including Cartwright's bitter rival, Officer Jim Santini (played by Michael Parks) from the CHP. They also talk to the owner of the stadium, Whitney Kirk (played by John Gavin), and his right-hand man, Ray Ramsey (played by Dale Robinette), to see if anyone at the stadium had anything to do with the incident.

As the Angels gather more information, they realize that the case is more complicated than they originally thought. It turns out that the stadium's finances are in serious trouble, and Kirk is desperate to sell it to an unscrupulous developer who wants to tear it down and build a shopping mall. Kirk and Ramsey are willing to do whatever it takes to make the sale happen, including injuring Cartwright and possibly even killing him.

The Angels race against time to stop the developer's plans and bring Kirk and Ramsey to justice. They ultimately succeed in their mission, but not without a few bumps and bruises along the way. The episode ends on a triumphant note as the Angels exchange high-fives and reflect on another successful case.

Overall, Angels in the Backfield is a classic Charlie's Angels episode that blends action, mystery, and humor in just the right proportions. The chemistry between the three leads is strong, and the show's trademark blend of style and substance is on full display. Fans of the series will enjoy seeing their favorite heroines in action, while newcomers will find plenty to like about the show's fun and exciting approach to crime-solving.
