"Egg Zackly": On his way to taking Gloria to the dentist, Matt witnesses a bad accident on the Hollywood Freeway and gets the go ahead from the new Lieutenant, Kevin Cole, to look into the cause. What he finds are a couple of troublemakers throwing eggs off the overpass at passing vehicles. Now he has to try to find out who they are and stop them before someone gets killed.

"Double Take": Matt runs into an old friend from high school who hires him to find her stolen antique wood box that still contains her $8,000 in a hidden compartment. The box also contains a stash of cocaine, so the woman can't got to the police with her problem. Meanwhile, the new lieutenant at the 12th precinct, Kevin Cole, has problems of his own. Two women were killed and there are no suspects. These women were twin sisters that everyone at the local bar knew as "Heckle and Jeckle". Matt's investigation into the stolen box will have him cross paths with the killer of the ugly twins.
