102. Angels of the Deep (Dec. 7, 1980) While diving off the coast of Honolulu in search of shipwrecks, Julie and newfound companion Bianca Blake find a sunken ship with a load of marijuana on board. The Angels get caught in a dispute between the ships' owners and thieves who want to steal the cargo and they are attacked by a knife-wielding diver. It is soon discovered that the spot in which they were diving was a hiding place for drugs waiting to be sold to a California dealer. After Kelly and Julie tell Bianca that they are detectives, she claims to be an undercover narcotics cop. Patti D'Arbanville later assumed many such undercover roles as Lt. Cooper on the FOX series New York Undercover, although she usually stayed at the station and coordinated the efforts of the other officers. A well directed episode with many scenes of Julie and the Angels in hot bikinis. Guest Cast: Patti D'Arbanville (Bianca Blake), Antonio Fargas (Blackie), Gary Lockwood (Claude), Sonny Bono (Walrus), Moe Keale (Chin), Bradford Dillman (Tony Kramer), Anne Francis (Cindy Lee), Soon-Teck Oh (Lt. Torres) Writer: Robert George Director: Kim Manners

103. Island Angels (Dec. 14, 1980) Eric Nelson, the head of an international peace organization, is the target of an unsuccessful assassination attempt in Athens.  Every indication points to another terrorist attack at the next stop on his speaking tour, Honolulu. Julie, having witnessed a shooting incident in Istanbul involving Red Circle terrorists who claim responsibility for the Nelson attempt, is brought in by the Honolulu Police to identify one of the killers at the airport. Arriving in a group of singles club tourists, he is recognized by Julie and captured easily, perhaps too easily. With only seventy two hours remaining before the peace worker will arrive, the police suspect that there is a partner in this crime who made it past the security in the diversion of the dramatic airport arrest. This sends Bosley and Kelly off to the swinging singles hotel in search of their quarry, a swinger with a submachine gun in his suitcase instead of suntan lotion. An episode that reminds us of an Agatha Christie story with many interesting guest roles. Barbi Benton looks sensational in a bikini too as the Angels of course do. Guest Cast: Richard Jaeckel (Bud Fisher), Barbi Benton (Toni Green), Lyle Waggoner (Jack Barrows), Don Knight (Frederick Ober), Keye Luke (Lin), Randolph Mantooth (Mark Williams), Carol Lynley (Lisa Gallo), Soon-Teck Oh (Lt. Torres) Writer: Robert George Director: Don Chaffey

Meanwhile, the beach bums who have the girl have been shooting her up with lethal drugs rendering her helpless while contemplating a ransom demand. This episode was nicknamed "Hell's Angels go Hawaiian" by Julie. In this episode we see fort the first and last time all three angels in bikinis in the same scene. Guest star Dan Haggerty (Grizzly Adams) gives a strong performance as creepy Bo Thompson. Charlie's Angels moved to the Saturday night 8pm timeslot from the Sunday night 8pm timeslot. Guest Cast: Dan Haggerty (Bo Thompson), Zulu (Zulu), Patrick Wayne (Steve Walters), Rex Holton (Lee Dain), Denise Dubarry (Marti), Christopher Goutman (David), Richard Anderson (Sam Knight), Edd Byrnes (Ted Burton), Soon-Teck Oh (Lt.

105. Hula Angels (Jan. 11, 1981) A successful Honolulu nightclub-owner is kidnapped and held for $1,000,000 ransom but his wife is warned against bringing in the police so the Angels have to tackle trouble in paradise. Among the many enemies Steven Moss has made as a businessman, no one of them deserves suspicions enough to provide the Angels with a starting point. When the first ransom deadline is missed, a dancer at Moss' nightclub is abducted as punishment for the delay and Kris takes her risky place in the chorus line. Frightened into action, Moss' wife instructs the Angels to fake a money drop and capture the kidnappers - the most dangerous strategy possible. This was the final episode that was set in Hawaii. Guest Cast: Gene Barry (Steve Moss), Patch Mackenzie (Amy), Shawn Hoskins (Donna), Branscombe Richmond (Bob Ahuna), Pat Crowley (Marion Moss), Joanna Cassidy (Stacy Parrish), Soon-Teck Oh (Lt. Torres) Writer: Robert George Director: Kim Manners

The Angels soon learn that slick New York businessman, Max Lacy, has plans to play the two families against each other to gain control of their illegal but lucrative business. Unfortunately one of the worst episodes of the fifth season which reminds us the Dukes of Hazzard.

107. He Married an Angel  (Jan. 31, 1981) John Thornwood, a handsome San Francisco con man, defrauds two spinsters of their inheritance and skips town. The women pursue him to Los Angeles and hire the Angels to retrieve the money. Thornwood is easily traced to a new luxury housing complex where Kris takes an apartment next door. Bosley dons expensive Western garb complete with ten gallon hat and loudly improvises an argument with Kris that Thornwood can't help but overhear. Thus, the Angel is established as a con artist herself. The bait is taken when the rakish hustler is impressed with Kris in every way and proposes a joint business operation that puts him just where the Angels want him. A nicely done and clever episode which reminds us the fourth season highlight "Three for the Money". Guest star David Hedison is excellent in his role as John Thornwood. Guest Cast: David Hedison (John Thornwood), Beege Barkett (Monica Regis), Harold J. Stone (Joe Fenell), Eloise Hardt (Barbara Stone) Writer: Edward J. Lakso Director: Don Chaffey

Handicapped by a deadline and the need to keep their investigation secret from both the cast and the financial backer, the Angels nominate Kelly to dust off her dancing shoes and join the chorus line. Julie reps her as an agent and Kris masquerades as a reporter from the Omaha Dance review in order to get permission to hang out at rehearsals and ask questions.

With very few leads to go on, the Angels peril bumps and bruises on the movie set while the mysterious masked avenger continues menacing the bewildered cast and production crew.  A nicely done team episode with Julie using several comic one-liners.

Also under the hypnotic influence of Reardon are employees Cynthia Weaver and Darlene Warden. Meanwhile, Kelly and Kris must protect Steve Briggs, President of Western Techtronics and the last target on Reardon's deadly hit list.  This episode contains the first ever fight scene between two angels.

Kelly is seriously wounded in the head and Bosley uses his car as a weapon to take out Danworth before he does more damage. But Kelly is rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Charlie calls in a specialist to consult with the surgical team and all the Angels join Bosley at the hospital for what look like a long vigil with Kelly given only a fifty-fifty chance of coming through.  While at the hospital the angels and Bosley reminisce about past cases. The episode includes clips from "Terror on Ward One," "Angel in Hiding," "Terror on Skis," "Angel's Child" and "Avenging Angel."  A large portion of the clip shown from "Angel in Hiding," in which Kelly and Kris approach Julie and the dying Harry and Bosley reports Harry's true identity, had been cut from syndicated broadcasts of that episode.

This was the last episode of Charlie's Angels. Guest Cast: Gary Wood (Joe Danworth), George Ball (Dr. Jackson), Michael Whitney (Police Officer), Simon Oakland (Sgt. Shanks) Writer: Edward J.
