While not a flawless episode, Albert E. Lewin is the first writer to find a way to make this series work.  Yes, it helps to have Brooks back as Rudy (here revealed to have his job through his father-in-law), but I like the contrast of the "mystery" of Felix's disappearance and possible death with his actual situation: snowbound and cuddling with a model.  The poker buddies are used well, too, including Murray, who we see not only in uniform but at work.

Bum Johnny Silver would be back as a bum, as well as various other roles
