they turn to the A-Team for help. Accepting the
assignment, the team sedates by tricking him into
going to the dentist office. Thereby, the team
soon find themselves on a plane bound for Florida
Once there, the team quickly starts their battle
against Joey and stops Epic's men from harassing
the hotel owners. Joey, realizing that he needs
to eliminate the team, sends his attractive girlfriend
to capture Hannibal. Hannibal is taken to Joey
who threatens the team leader to sell the hotel.
Fortunately, the rest of the team arrives and
rescues Hannibal. Later, Face feigns drowning
and meets Epic's girlfriend. While romancing her,
the A-Team scrounger learns about a business meeting
that Epic will be attending at the Farsider Inn.
Using this information, Hannibal disguises himself
as a waiter and listens in on a conversation between
Epic and a government official named Prescott.
The team then learns the motives behind Epic's
attempted hotel buy-out: Prescott is arranging
legalized gambling in the area. After the meeting,
the team grabs Prescott, forces him to sign a
paper against gambling, and puts a stop to Epic's
plans. Epic responds by capturing the team and
locking them inside a construction site building.
This turns out to be Epic's critical error for
the team builds a "nail shooting" machine gun
(from parts lying around the site). Joey and a
recently arrived mobster named Carlin are swiftly
captured.

When
Tawnia's fiancé Brian disappears while on an archaeological
search in Brazil, she turns to Hannibal and the
A-Team for help. Then, after Face disguises himself
as a priest and smuggles Murdock out of the V.A.
hospital in a coffin, the team heads to the Amazon.
The team's search for information soon places
them in conflict with a man named Churlisco. As
expected, the team defeats Churlisco and discovers
the location of Little John, the only known surviving
member of Brian's ambushed crew. Unfortunately,
the team ends up in a trap and is forced to flee
on a nearby boat. Bobbi Cardena, the boat's owner,
initially pulls a gun but finally agrees to take
the team down theAmazon. Later, El Cajun, a river
bandit known as "The Coffin," attacks the team's
boat but is captured. The tables are soon turned
when a man named Doyle arrives and instructs his
men to pull guns on the team. Since Bobbi had
secretly disabled their weapons, the team is unable
to fight back. They are led to Doyle's camp where
Tawnia is reunited with Brian and the team learns
that Doyle kidnapped Brian in hopes of discovering
the location of the Lost City of Del Rio. The
team escapes and meets up with Bobbi (who had
feared that Doyle would kill them). Together with
Bobbi and Brian, the lost city is located. Doyle
arrives to claim the city's treasures; however,
he is captured thanks to a number of A-Team-prepared
traps. The team is then horrified to learn what
Doyle is doing in the Amazon: building a nuclear
reactor for a neo-Nazi group. Realizing that Hannibal
and his men need help in stopping the Nazis, Bobbi
suggests El Cajun. Bobbi's strange behavior is
then explained when she reveals that she is El
Cajun's daughter. El Cajun agrees to help and
the reactor is destroyed. Later, in his role as
a ship's captain, El Cajun performs the marriage
ceremony for Tawnia and Brian. (This episode marks
Marla Heasley's last appearance.)

John
and Samantha Lawrence turn to the A-Team for help
when they find themselves being pressured to join
the "union" of a man named Bull McEwan. Since
the Lawrences' truck was torched by McEwan, the
team begins their assignment (after the usual
run in with their opposition) by sending Face
to "con" a truck. The team then begins to help
the Lawrences with their logging. Unfortunately,
McEwan's men plant some explosives and Murdock
is trapped under a fallen tree. After Murdock
is freed, the team goes to McEwan and takes enough
cash to pay for damages that have been inflicted
on the Lawrences. Finally, the logs are ready;
the team forces themselves past the union's roadblock,
and the logs are delivered to a potential buyer.
However, the team is captured when the buyer turns
out to be on McEwan's side. The team is then tied
up and left in a warehouse. Fortunately, B.A.
breaks his ropes and the team modifies items found
lying around. McEwan and his accomplices are soon
stopped. Later, Face gets a real buyer for the
lumber.

The
team is called in to help when an accountant named
George Olsen learns his daughter Jenny has been
kidnapped in order to prevent him from testifying
against mobster Tommy Largo. Since Jenny was last
seen with a man named Ray Evans, Face disguises
himself as Randall St. James and goes to Evans'
favorite health club. Although Evans tosses Face
out the window, the rest of the team manages to
get the drop on him. They are then led to a waitress
by the name of Ginger, who is rescued from an
attempted kidnapping. Afterwards the team discovers
that Jenny was taken by mobster Eddie Devane and
not Largo. (The team realizes that Devane would
have the most to gain by Largo's conviction).
Since they do not know how to find Devane, Hannibal
decides to let Largo lead the way. The team masquerades
as Devane's men and shoots up Largo's restaurant.
Next, Face cons a helicopter and the team follows
Largo to Devane's estate where they attack and
free Jenny. Jenny calls her father who announces
his location over a tapped phone line. Realizing
that Olsen is in grave danger, Hannibal goes to
the accountant's hotel as a waiter and pretends
to die from poisoned food. Accordingly, Olsen
is moved to a safe location. As predicted, Largo
and Devane arrive. However, the team is ready
and the mobsters are defeated.

As
the episode begins, auto plant foreman Rudy Garcia
uncovers information that indicates a man named
Charlie was killed when he found out that fellow
employees were stealing parts. When he is threatened
not to talk to the police, Rudy hires the A-Team.
After a small conflict between Hannibal and a
parts thief by the name of Plummer, the team opens
up an auto parts store (called Otto's Auto Parts).
They then go to the thieves warehouse and steal
parts for their store. The next step of the plan
involves Murdock hiding inside a soda machine
in order to learn the identity of Plummer's boss.
Thereby, the team discovers that a man named Durkee
is behind the operation. Hannibal approaches the
thieves and hints that the parts stolen earlier
were taken by a trucker known as Crazy Willie
Beans (Murdock in disguise). However, Durkee does
not completely fall for the team's intended trap
and Rudy and his family are taken hostage. Furthermore,
the team is implicated in a recent robbery and
captured by a security guard. As always, the team
escapes. Then, with the help of an A-Team constructed
tank, the thieves are attacked and Rudy and his
family are freed.

The
team is stunned to discover that they have been
accused of harassing a woman named Carrie and
her father Captain Winnetka, the owners of a traveling
Wild West show. Colonel Lynch, given one last
chance to catch the team, also hears about the
situation. Lynch realizes that the A-Team is probably
not harassing the show, but is aware the team
will probably show up in order to clear their
name. Lynch is correct and the team, disguised
as a western star (Hannibal), Indian (Murdock),
and clown (Face), pay Captain Winnetka a visit.
The "imposter" A-Team attacks again but are repelled
by the real team. Afterwards, Hannibal offers
the A-Team's services to Winnetka. They then learn
that a man named Mason has been pressuring Winnetka
to obtain the rights to a lucrative tour contract.
As predicted, the imposters once again attack.
This time, the team returns the defeated imposters
to Mason along with a warning. Meanwhile, Lynch
has planted a sergeant named Wilson in the show's
staff. Wilson manages to call Lynch but is discovered
by the team. Proceeding with his plan, Lynch arrives
and captures what he believes to be the A-Team
inside B.A.'s van. (Lynch is so paranoid of the
team escaping that he puts the van right inside
a truck.) Mason and his men return to the show,
however, the A-Team, who were not in the van,
are ready and both the imposter team and Mason
are defeated and captured. Later, Lynch is embarrassed
to discover Carrie and her father were inside
the van instead of the A-Team. Lynch is further
distressed when the team steals back their van.

Face
is innocently coaching a football team at his
alma mater, St. Mary's when the kind of luck that
seems to plague all television action characters
(i.e. ending up in trouble even when "relaxing")
impacts the A-Team. Following a troubled player
named Billy Rey, the team discovers that the Bells
singing group is in trouble. The team meets with
Charlotte, Billy Rey's sister and a member of
the Bells, and learns that the group is being
harassed into signing a new recording contract
with a crooked record company executive named
Luna. Charlotte explains that Luna has been using
the group's current record contract to steal money
from them. Hannibal, as the Bells' new personal
manager, then pays a visit on Luna. As with many
A-Team confrontations, Hannibal needs to shoot
his way out of the company. In response, Luna
and his men try to attack the Bells' hotel rooms.
However, the team has the empty rooms under video
surveillance and the record company men are followed.
The team then discovers that a reclusive billionaire
named Westerland is behind Luna's actions. Westerland
later kidnaps Billy Rey as leverage. The team
prepares an offensive and it is not long before
Westerland and Luna are captured.

As
the episode opens, Face is dating a fashion model
named Rina (with whom he is quite attracted).
However, their romance is interrupted when mobster
Johnny Turian abducts Rina. The team goes to Rina's
rescue, but she claims she is not in trouble and
returns to Turian. Based on a feeling that things
are not as they seem, Face sneaks into a party
on Turian's yacht and confronts Rina. She then
explains that she knows Turian since she used
to be married to the mobster's brother. Now Turian
is forcing her to use her position as a model
in order to steal fashion designs from a man named
Jason Burnett. Face is captured but manages to
escape with some assistance from Hannibal. The
team decides to stop Turian, and starts by designing
their own fashions with the help of the residents
of the Westside Senior Center. Face brings films
of the fake fashions to Rina so that she can switch
them with photos of Burnett's real fashions. Rina
stuns Face when instead she informs Turian of
the situation. It is at this point that Face learns
that Turian is using Eric, Rina's son, as leverage
against the model. Fortunately, the A-Team is
prepared for this type of contingency and an imitation
harbor patrol boat is constructed. Hannibal and
Murdock are then able to stop Turian's yacht.
Thereby, Face, Rina, and Eric are rescued and
Turian is captured. (Note: B.A. only appears
in the "tag" at the very end of this episode.)
