The Story

When Chief Ironside visits Bay College to give a lecture, one of the students challenges him, asking him if the perfect crime actually exists.  The members of the college rifle team come under suspicion after a shooting incident on campus.  Pete plays Jonathan Dix, a member of the rifle team and a thoroughly evil and slimy character, despite his outward "charm".

Dramatic Scenes

There is a breakdown scene towards the end but it's not really one of Pete's best.

Other Notable Scenes/Things to Watch For

The opening scenes where, within moments of appearing on the screen, Pete establishes Jonathan's character.   Jonathan is probably the least likeable character Pete played, but he turns in an excellent performance in a different type of role.

Oh and if you like he long hair, you might like the breakdown scene as although his hair is slicked back for most of the episode, it is in fact quite long.

Difficult Scenes to Watch

Jonathan Dix is a member of the rifle team so there's lots of shots of him with a rifle, but nothing that's difficult to watch in the way that some of Pete's scenes are.

Is it worth getting? 
(my opinion only!)

I would say yes, to see Pete's performance as this character.  I wouldn't recommend it as one to start with though and there are others I'd get first.
