The first season episodes of MI are sometimes quite different than those we saw in later seasons. This is one of those different episodes, in a good way. For one thing, the story is centered on Cinnamon, and Barbara Bain gives us a tour de force performance, as she plays a dangerous game of romance with a notorious, womanizing, deadly spy, ably played by Eric Braeden.
The succession of quick scenes developing the romance angle is colorful, imaginative, and like nothing else I've ever seen on the series. The episode is aiming for a tone of poignancy, and achieves it. We don't get Martin Landau or Peter Lupus in this episode; it all belongs to Barbara Bain, this time. A very fine and memorable episode.
