An autopsy performed by Quincy (Jack Klugman) determines that Mrs. Martha Steele (Karen Philipp) died of a cerebral hemmorhage, supposedly caused by an encounter with a burglar. But Quincy is certain that the brain damage occurred long before the burglary--and he suspects that Mrs. Steele was the victim of an abusive husband (played by Robert Colbert). Unfortunately, his investigation is dead-ended by the refusal of the Steeles' friends to discuss the matter or cooperate with the authorities. Incidentally, this is the episode in which we finally find out Quincy's first name (or at least, his first initial). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
