Page "Silk Stalkings" Paragraph 18

In the fifth season ( fall 1995 ), Chris and Rita's mutual attraction finally moved from friendship to love in a two-part episode in November, called " Partners ".

Nick Kokotakis, as detective Michael Price, was introduced during that episode.

Rita was soon confirmed to be pregnant ( as was Kapture in reality ), and Chris and Rita were married in an early December episode titled " Till Death Do Us Part ".

The very next week's episode, " The Last Kiss Goodnight ", ended with Chris being shot and killed in the line of duty.

Kapture appeared in one more episode, " Dead Asleep ".

This episode's credits featured Kapture but not Estes, for the only time in the series ; and also Kokotakis, along with Tyler Layton, who was introduced in the episode as detective Holly Rawlins.

Most of the episode was spent focusing on Michael and Holly's first case.

At the end of the show, the grief-stricken Rita spends one final scene talking to Chris at his gravesite, says goodbye to Captain Lipschitz, and leaves the force for parts unknown.
