After meeting the new Angel, Tiffany Welles, the team hops on board The Pacific Princess to help a grumpy insurance agent recover bronze & gold artifacts that have been stolen by a charming missionary soldier.

Undercover Angels:

Kris pretends to be a gold digger.

Angel Clues:

*Why would Sabrina call Charlie to tell him she is pregnant and not the Angels?  They were the ones she would have been the closest to!

*Kelly and Kris tell Charlie that Tiffany is "special" within minutes of meeting her.  How could they possibly feel that way so soon?

*Gone is the perky and bouncy Kris Munroe audiences knew and loved.  Taking a cue from her sister Jill, this episode shows Kris beginning to mature into a woman of the world.  She will continue to ascend into major adulthood during the next two years.

*The Angels, especially Kris, are totally abetting thieves! It is obvious they dislike their client, but how could they let Hollister and Anderson get away with stealing?

*Tiffany's father, a childhood friend of Charlie's, is a police chief in Boston and her mother is a Latin teacher.

*Tiffany graduated from the police academy at the top of  her class.  This should come as no surprise,since she has been hired as an Angel!

*Kelly makes a Forrest Gump-like quote when she says her "mother always said – “Pretty is as Pretty does!'"  She also said the same line in "Angels Remembered".  Oh, Kelly! You never knew your mother!!!!!

* Jaclyn Smith, Shelley Hack, and Tanya Roberts would make guest star appearances on "The Love Boat" while simutaneously appearing on 'Charlie's Angels'.

Charlie assigns the Angels to seduce a wealthy man about town who is also a jewel thief.  What he doesn't tell them is that Jill has already succeeded at doing so, which confuses the Angels into believing she has converted to the dark side!

Undercover Angels:

Kelly is Allison Beckworth, a writer doing a book on wealthy heirs.

Jill poses as a dashing jewel thief

Tiffany is a sports car aficionado

*Tiffany and Jill are never formally introduced onscreen! 

*Charlie makes somewhat of a chilling prediction.  He claims that Damian Roth is "a man with James Bondian tastes and charm..."  Timothy Dalton, who played Roth, would become the future James Bond in ‘The Living Daylights’ and ‘License to Kill’.

Tiffany and Kelly are Sisters Teresa and Maria, servants of the lord.

*Must Kris have to do everything like her sister Jill?  As Angel fans know already, the original Angel trio paid a similar visit to a woman's prison as inmates ("Angels in Chains").  Kris insists that she be the one to go into the prison, even after Tiffany says that she will do it.  Kelly is no dummy!  Having already been to prison, she suggests drawing straws. 

*Sally Kirkland had a lucrative Hollywood career before this job and would later be nominated for an Academy Award for her role in the 1987 film ‘Anna’.

The owner of a floundering music school hires the Angels to find out who beat up his wall flower of a daughter, who, unbeknownst to him, is leading a double life as a musical prodigy and a street walker.  

Undercover Angels:

Kris is a singer

Tiffany and Kelly are student dancers and hours later pose as high priced prostitutes!

Angel Clues:

*Tiffany claims that she can play the violin.  Note that she had already played the cello in "Angels at the Altar"

*As Kelly and Tiffany are walking to Georgia's Diner, they pass a hooker and her john. Note Tiffany's facial expression at the sight of them!! 

*Considering the fact that Judy won't talk and her father isn't too intelligent, it seems very unrealistic that the Angels would go undercover as hookers in such a seedy neighborhood, putting themselves in such danger when they have nothing to gain financially. Judy isn't even nice to any of them.  Usually Bosley would prefer to bail out of a free case, but this time he lets the Angels make the decision.

Tiffany returns to her alma mater, Whitley College, to look for two missing students who have been kidnapped and are about to be sold into white slavery.

Undercover Angels:

Bosley is Zachary Preston, Class of 51 -an insurance agent turned writer of western novels.  He also poses as a football scout

Kris is a class auditor

Kelly poses as a football scout

Tiffany is a "big sister" posing as a journalist.

Angel Clues: 

*Tiffany was the president of the Kappa Omega Psi sorority and is now considered to be a legend for changing the structure of the house.

*Note the ridiculous horrified reaction the sorority sisters give off when the lights go out.  You have to see it to believe it!

*Whitley College appears to be located in California, as there are visible palm trees and the Angels are seen driving their own cars instead of rentals.  It seems unlikely that Tiffany would have previously spent any length of time in California according to comment she made in "Angels On Skates" in which she questioned if the hobby would make her a "true Californian".

*In the December 1993 issue of DETOUR magazine, reporter Dennis Hensley and comedienne Margaret Cho has this to say about CHARLIE'S ANGELS:

Cho: "...What I always wondered about was this theme of  white slavery."

Hensley: "I know, it was on every episode"

Actually, "white slavery" was only mentioned in this episode and this episode only, although it is very true that women were always being kidnapped for various reasons.

ANGEL HUNT

L.Q. Jones –Burdette

Lloyd Bochner –Case

Paul Sylvan -Wilson

Upon receiving a distorted telephone call from "Charlie", the Angels are taken to a deserted island where they become hunted prey by one of their employer's most ruthless nemesis.

Angel Clues:

*The phone number of Townsend Associates is 555-0267

*Viewers see more of Charlie in this episode than ever before. Note that he no longer has the grayish perm that he sported for the first three seasons.

*Never underestimate the power of an Angel!  First Kris beat up two alligators ("Winning is for Losers") and now Tiffany calms a wild tiger!

*No other episode exposes the trio as friends like this one does.  Tiffany makes startling revelations about how much the Angels mean to her and laughs at the days in college when she wanted "adventure" in her life.

*Tiffany uncovers the Diablo sign on the beach, spots the warm cigarette, and questions Wilson about how genuine the case really is.  Not only is she presented as an intelligent college graduate, but she seems to be filling Sabrina's shoes as a the chief clue finder quite well.

*Note that Tiffany has more lipstick on her second night on the island than she did when she arrived the morning before, despite the fact that she left her purse on Wilson’s boat.  Only the Angels could spend three days on a deserted island and leave with full make-up and  beautiful hair.  Ginger and Mary Ann would have been proud!

Bosley is wooed by an evil interior decorator who is assisting smugglers in using Charlie's yacht, The Wayward Angel, to transport gold and it is up to the Angels to save the day.

Undercover Angels:

Kelly poses as Webber's long lost niece.  She also pretends to be a painter while spying on Ranez's men

Angel Clues:

*Note how different Kris and Tiffany look when they arrive to the the marina as opposed to what they looked like back at the office only a short time ago.

*First of all, why isn't Kelly helping her partners with the book work?  Secondly, why are these gorgeous detectives doing book work for cheapskate Charlie anyway?

*The scene in which Kelly tries to park the boat puts Tiffany in a very unusual predicament.  As if she stepped out of an ‘I Love Lucy’episode, Tiffany hangs from the edge of the yacht with one leg in a porthole while trying to coax Kelly to back the boat up.

*This is the first time viewers get to see Tiffany driving Sabrina's Ford Pinto!  Note that her license plate number (846 RUZ) is the same as Sabrina's too!

Tiffany uses the help of a ghost named Madeline to stop her friend from marrying a killer.

Angel Clues:

*Tiffany once worked with ghost hunter Hans Kempler in her college days.  She also studied the occult and was deemed a "sensitive" by psychics.

*Poor Shelly Hack!!  Her character Tiffany Welles was only spotlighted in two episodes, "Angels on Campus" and this one.  This is one of the worst episodes ever, second only to "Chorus Line Angels".  The phantasmal theme had already been played to the hilt in "The Seance", "I Will Be Remembered", and "Haunted  Angels".  And so has the theme of an Angel's friend being engaged or married to a greedy killer or con-man in "Angels Belong in Heaven" and "Angels at the Altar".

Kelly poses as a real estate agent

Tiffany is a potential home owner

While looking for a missing man, the Angels try to save a clueless girl from a life of porn and debauchery.

Angel Clues: 

*While discussing the case in the office, Kelly states that Tiffany's car is now a mess, but it has just been shown in the exterior shot of the office in its standard condition.

*Lynne Marta sings "Home", the song on Beth's tapes to Seth. She also sang for Amy Waters in "Angel Blues", and would appear as the villainess in "One Love –Two Angels".  She was also once married to David Soul of ‘Starsky & Hutch’ fame.

*For three of the saddest episodes of CHARLIE'S ANGELS, ("Angel Blues", "Catch a Falling Angel", & "Angels on the Streets"), emotional ballads by desperate women are played continually throughout the episodes to set a depressing mood.  These stand-out episodes show that there is more to detective work than fun and games for pretty girls with guns.

When Kelly falls in love with Bill Cord, a San Diego lawyer who has pegged her as being the long lost heiress of a wealthy hotel baron's estate, she hires the Angels to investigate her mysterious past.  In doing so, Cord begins working with Kris and the two of them also fall in love.  As the two longtime co-workers collide over their new boyfriend, he turns up dead and it is up to Tiffany and Bosley to reunite the feuding Angels to solve the case.

Undercover Angels:

Tiffany poses as a reporter.

Angel Clues: 

*According to Bill's research, Kelly was raised at the St. Agnes Orphanage in Dallas, Texas until 1964, when a fire destroyed the place.  She then spent the remainder of her youth in foster homes.  No wonder Kelly was so suspicious about being a lost heiress, since she had visited her childhood orphanage only a few years before in "Target Angels".

*Kelly reveals that her last name, Garrett, was given to her by a nun at the orphanage who had the same last name.

*The character of Kris Munroe has no doubt matured a great deal during her third year of employment at Townsend Associates, but her cold hearted comment to Kelly when she saves her life is absolutely shocking, considering Kris is genuinely happy most of the time.  After Kris knocks out Staley, Kelly thanks her, in which, Kris angrily snaps,

"That was for Bill!" Ouch!! 

*Patrick Duffy was also making waves as the good brother, Bobby Ewing, on the most popular prime-time soap opera ever, ‘Dallas’. 

*Robert Reed, who sinks his teeth into the villainous role of Staley, played everyone's favorite TV dad, Mike Brady on ‘The Brady Bunch’.

*This being Shelly Hack's final episode, the character of Tiffany Welles really shines as a detective and a friend while trying to piece the mystery that is Kelly Garrett together and trying to keep the Angel team intact at the same time.
