The Phoenix

An arsonist believed to have perished years ago has reappeared in the Venice area. While working with T.C. on the case, Chris must confront her own childhood memories of terror at having been caught in a fiery situation. The two must also enlist the aid of an eccentric arsonist doing a long stretch in prison for details on how to catch the Phoenix. Cory has to continually chase the ""Snakeman"", the last unlicensed vendor on the Venice Boardwalk. At one point, she nearly traps him running through a wet t-shirt contest where she's thrown on stage, dumped on, and pronounced the winner. The precinct is menaced by a rat that's eaten its way into the evidence lock-up and made off with a large portion of speed, making the rodent nearly impossible to catch. Rat Man and Rat Boy, a father-son exterminating team, are brought in to catch the creature.

En mordbrännare är tillbaka i Venice-området. Medan hon arbetar med T.C. på fallet måste Chris konfrontera sina egna barndomsminnen av skräck när hon blev fångad i en brinnande situation.

Ein Brandstifter macht der Polizei von Santa Monica schwer zu schaffen. Die Brände werden in den Lagerhallen eines gewissen Mr. Bilson gelegt. In dessen Lagerhallen waren schon früher öfter Brände ausgebrochen. Bilson scheint keine weiße Weste zu haben.
