How hard do you have to convince a police officer that he should "shoot to kill"? That's the high art Melrose Place tackled this week. The answer: not very hard. Especially if they're hunky but skittish park rangers.

Also, Mary points out the traumatic experience Sam has dealing with Jane and Sydney this week, as she rolls up, shouts "toot toot, sorry I'm late!" and is suddenly ducking bullets.

Taylor is still scheming in what is a relatively slow burn in the world of Melrose Place. We still don't know what she's up to.

Billy discovers Alison and Jake are sleeping together and he gets upset. Does he have a right to be? These are his two best friends sneaking around and lying to him for weeks in order to spare his feelings.

Also Matt is high and Kimberly saves Peter by having an outburst in court.
