68 :04x01 - Beamer's Last Case (Sep/16/1977)
Jim returns home from vacation ten days early and owing $600 to a Caribbean casino. When he gets there he finds his car destroyed and a lot of angry clients he never agreed to work for! They include an angry husband who accuses Jim of stepping out with his wife, and the disappointed owner of a cab company seeking help with extortionists. And then a truck brings thousands of dollars worth of forensic gear Jim doesn't need, but that his credit cards paid for! Then Jim learns the casino sold his debt to a local shark who has canceled the two week grace period, and someone in the cab company is connected to a racketeer! Jim will have to work hard – without pay – to get out of this jam!

69 :04x02 - Trouble in Chapter 17 (Sep/23/1977)
Ann Clement has made herself wealthy writing books that purport to teach women how to make their marriages work. But in the age of feminism, there are those who don't want to hear what she has to say, and some of them might be violent enough to kill her. She asks Rockford to investigate several attempts on her life. Is the perpetrator some angry feminist? Or the husband who is tired of being the subject of her books, and who just might want her millions free and clear? Or is she, as the police believe, running an elaborate publicity stunt? Jim finds himself forced into the case when Dennis won't touch it, even after someone shoots at Ann Clement. Now all he has to do is figure out what's really going on, with only scant leads to point the way.

Gandolph Fitch rolls back into Rockford's life. He's found true love, a woman named Theda he met purchasing some used stereo equipment.

On the way out of the club, someone hits Gandy and drives off with Theda. Now Gandy needs Rockford to figure out why. Jim figures out who hit Gandy easily enough. It's her ex-husband Joe, who should still be in prison. But thanks to a man named Shapiro and the “Second Chances” program, he's out. And he needs something he left with Theda before he went in.
