Plot synopsis

Dominic left the island when he and his wife Lylah separated a long time ago. He saw his daughter, Sally Anne, the last time when she was seven. Now in her mid-twenties -- found at the beach -- she died from an overdose of drugs. At the funeral, Lylah creates a scene verbally attacking Dominic whose anger comes to the surface enough to almost strike his ex-wife. Hawke intercedes and soon after the funeral they leave to complete their mission in Airwolf. Upon their return, Dominic is arrested and put in jail for the murder of Lylah Santini. Since the government mission is top secret, Archangel cannot and will not supply Dominic with an alibi. Hawke is compelled to fly back to the island to look for clues. A lot of islanders are not happy with the new prosperity that the gambling casino brought to the island. The most important clue that Hawke comes across is Lylah's ties to Darius, the owner of the casino. He has been skimming money from the casino's winnings, and Lylah has blackmailed him. Hawke and Airwolf appear over the casino just as a big celebration is taking place. Hawke forces Darius out of the casino, and with great pleasure Captain Babbitt puts the handcuffs on him. Darius is under suspicion of murdering Lylah. Almost as an afterthought, Hawke attacks the symbol of all the evil that has come to the island. With a few well-placed salvos from Airwolf, the casino erupts in a vast fireball.

Gallery

Brett Halsey as casino owner Jason Darius (left). Next to him is Michael Keep as "Solly". He is addressed as congressman but it is not clear if Solly is his firstname or lastname.

Jason Bernard as Aaron Martin, Dominic's friend from his youth.

Lylah Santini (Diane McBain) with Vince Decter (Bobb Hokins). He is the tennis pro who goes after older women, especially those with money.

Captain Babbit (James A. Watson Jr.) of the San Remo police.

Wayne heffley as police Lieutenant Grodin in his second appearance. Here he is at Santini Air arresting Dominic.

Sid Conrad as Father Donovan. Surprisingly he has many lines, with much screen time devoted to the sermon he makes during the funeral.

By contrast, this police photographer (played by Michael Bond) here with Dominc and Grodin has hardly any lines. It is difficult even to find a frontal image of him in the episode.

Dominic with his dead daughter. The actress playing Sally Ann Santini is not credited.

Lola Albright as Beatrice Moretti, a fashion designer or photographer who was Lila's best friend. There is also a Kathy Shower billed as "model". This model in the blue bikini only has one line so this may not be her.

This model has many more lines so she may well be Kathy Shower. She is constantly screaming in pain was Beatrice tightens and takes in her swimsuit. In the end she asks what is wrong with Beatrice today.

Dani Douthette as the waitress. She tells Hawke and Aaron how much she dislikes the casino whose renovation has resulted in her losign her home. The structure can be seen in the background.

Suzanne La Rusch as Solly's girl. She is the one in blue next to Solly.

IMDb lists David Cadiente as playing an uncredited Darius "heavy". He is seen here on the right and has quite a few lines. The one on the left is not credited either.

Another Darius thug. He gets a line or two, in this case, taunting Babbit to arrest him because his tie is not straight. But this actor doesn't get credited.
