Quincy, M.E. (season 7)

Quincy and Dr. Janet Carlyle (Diana Muldaur, reprising her role from Season 5's "Deadly Arena") go on a cruise to Tahiti, but the vacation proves to be anything but relaxing as the coroner gets involved in a murder investigation that leads to the discovery of a potentially deadly disease on board.

After a deliberately set fire at a hotel kills 12 people (an event loosely based on the 1980 MGM Grand fire), Quincy's investigation of the deaths leads him to a group who tries to cure arsonists of their urge to set fires and an insurance investigator whom Quincy enlists to find the arsonist responsible.

A young man diagnosed with schizophrenia brutally murders his father, brother, and sister, but Quincy feels the man is faking his mental illness to get away with murder and sets out to prove it.

After a veteran nurse (Georgann Johnson) is accused of and suspended for administering medication without a doctor's order and resulting in the death of a patient, the rest of the nurses go on a sympathy strike to protest the treatment and low wages of the nursing staff. Meanwhile, Quincy and Asten work together to clear the nurse's name and end the strike, all the while dealing with Asten's wife undergoing surgery at the same hospital.

While walking her dog along the beach, a woman suffering from agoraphobia witnesses a murder, and Quincy must find her before her affliction forces her back into the solitude of her home that she hadn't left for seven years up to and thereby allowing the killer to go free.

Rear Admiral McKenzie, an old colleague of Quincy's, dies while opening a naval museum named after him. A simple autopsy causes confusion for Quincy and Asten when they encounter a naval commander desperately wanting to take possession of the body, three "Mrs. McKenzies," and the presence of a microchip in his stomach. Soon Quincy has his naval reserve status reactivated and finds himself involved in a cat and mouse game of espionage and counter espionage.

A young girl is mauled by a her family dog, and Quincy's investigation leads him to a trainer using extreme and abusive methods to train their protection dogs — and during the investigation adopts a dog.

The death of a college student during a hazing stunt leads Quincy to a fraternity who seem more interested in covering up what they did than cooperating, and the revelation that, most likely, none of them will go to jail for the death. Meanwhile, the deceased's family are having trouble handling the enormity of the loss.
