Goodbye to Jill, hello to Kris. The series changed with this episode because a new angel appears. Kris Munroe takes her sister's place and, the plots became more interesting.
Charlie gets kidnapped and the angels have to go to Hawai to save him. Kris' first case in the Townsend agency complicates when someone kidnapp Charlie from his original kidnappers. Sabrina, as always, has a plan and the three angels discover who has Charlie and they go to save him. Cheryl Ladd showed to the world what she could do as a Charlie Angel and Kate Jackson shinned again. She was really brilliant trying to dance in front of the mirror, pretending to be crazy for Mr. Blue when she arrives to his boat, and pretending again that she passed to the bad side talking on the phone with Mr. Blue. A good episode.
Kelly and Sabrina welcome a new angel, Kris, Jill's younger sister, just in time to aid in the biggest case of the angels' career: the kidnapping of Charlie. The angels and Bosley head to the shores of Hawaii to rescure their unseen boss.
Cheryl Ladd makes an outstanding addition to the series by not only replacing Farah Fawcett-Majors, but surpassing her angel attributes with spunk, humor, and drop-dead good looks. She's the gorgeous, "girl next door type" that most assuredly left all the neighborhood boys all hot and bothered! The production values are top notch in this Hawaiian adventure that is fast paced and has lots of action scenes. But, the real payoff in this two-part caper takes place in the final sequence when the angels rescue Charlie as Sabrina pretends to flirt with the gangster boss. For me, "Charlie's Angels" always hit high marks when it didn't shy away from its number one objective: showcasing some prime time cheesecake. Kris and Kelly deliver a double knockout when they emerge from the water in their glistening wet, string bikinis! When it came to the cheesecake, Kate Jackson was always the prude, not once submitting to skimpy wardrobe choices. Jacqyln Smith was more of a team player when it came to baring some skin. Cheryl Ladd proves she's a true angel of the highest order by modeling not one but two bikini choices in this two parter. In fact, throughout the series Ms. Ladd always seemed happy to oblige her viewers by filling out a two-piece on numerous occasions making her my favorite angel!
