Decent but not your typical &quot;Quincy&quot;

It&apos;s ironic I saw this episode of &quot;Quincy&quot; only a week or so after I saw an old &quot;Mannix&quot; episode with a similar theme. Both involve the Catholic church bringing in both as experts to try to prove or disprove the existence of a so-called miracle. In the case of Mannix, it really didn&apos;t make a lot of sense bringing him in but at least Quincy&apos;s expertise as a coroner could have been useful in this task! As I mentioned above, Quincy (along with Sam) is brought in as part of a team to a Mexican village to determine the validity of claims that some remains found belong to a beloved saint. From Quincy&apos;s point of view, this is something that must accomplished ASAP, as some people are neglecting to get legitimate medical treatment in hopes of a miracle. Also, with all these folks converging on this tiny town, a public health crisis is looming. Naturally, the other team members understand his concerns but don&apos;t want to rush the process as they want to do it right. In the midst of this chore, Quincy takes time out to be angry--and the object of this anger is on irresponsible newspaper reporters making outrageous claims to sell papers.

While I would prefer the older style episodes where Quincy investigates murders and other crimes, this one is a decent departure. Well written and enjoyable my only complaint is the addition to the cliché of the cute, sick kid--this has been done too many times in the past and I hate to see a child being reduced to just a plot device.
