Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Michael heads up a rescue mission for a scientist kidnapped by an African warlord. Sam and Jesse go undercover but soon find themselves in big trouble. Elsewhere, someone Madeline trusts hides a secret from her.
Our Take
A fairly routine client-of-the-week setup with a decent tropical backdrop, and the spy stuff moves along fine even if the warlord villain never gets interesting. The B-story with Madeline is the real draw here, giving Sharon Gless some genuine material to work with. Watchable, but it’s the kind of episode you’ll half forget by next week.
