Disgusted with the pace of the war and the lack of enthusiasm by some of the Chester residents, Henry's cousin Edward (Richard Kelton) turns to terrorist activities. When Henry (Alex Henteloff) is arrested in his place and sentenced to hang, Jeremy, Isak, and Lafayette organize a rescue.
Unlike the fantastic flop of the initial episode, the series twelfth entry does successfully find a link between then present-day countercultural problems and the American Revolution. Henry's cousin Richard, a frustrated ex-college student (played humbly by Richard Kelton, wild gray hair and all) turns to terrorism to fight the British, so Henry, Jeremy, Isak, and General Lafayette have to find a way to stop him. Guess who else has a bit part in this episode? Farrah Fawcett. And she's goofy but quite endearing.
