Tanya Lupescu's testimony will severely damage the KAOS organization, sending several of its... executives... to prison. Determined to prevent this, KAOS contracts for the services of Alexi Sebastian, a man so skilled at disguise that he can infiltrate anywhere and kill any victim. He has never failed to fulfill a contract. Max must deal with 99's jealousy of the beautiful Tanya, the ruthless Alexi Sebastian, the Chief's ulcer, and even an insurance salesman!

| Gadgets: Brush gun (used by chambermaid in opening scene); Cone of Silence (this time it won’t stay in one position, and eventually crushes The Chief’s desk); Slide projector disguised as fire extinguisher; phone gun (point handset at target, hold the trigger and dial ‘119’).
| Byran O’Byrne receives a credit for this episode but does not actually appear.

| The Chief: Max, I want to show you something. Don’t act surprised...
(The Chief unfolds a newspaper, revealing a picture of Tanya Lupsecu, a witness against KAOS whom they must keep safe until a trial.)
Max: OH, NO! IT’S HER!!
(The Chief pinches the bridge of his nose as if in pain...)
| KAOS Leader: This meeting of KAOS is now in session. Order of business: the liquidation of Tanya Lupescu. So far, you have failed miserably. She is still alive! And in custody of the Control organization. If she is allowed to live, she will be able to identify, in court, several of our top... executives. Since you are all such bunglers, I’ve sent for one of our most talented agents to perform the delicate task of eliminating Miss Lupescu. That man is Alexi Sebastian!
| (The Chief has ordered Max to hide Tanya Lupescu at his apartment.)
Max: But, Chief, it’s a bachelor apartment! Do you know what it’s like to have stockings all over the shower rod and clothes all over the floor?!?
The Chief: This is an order, 86.
Max: Well, all right, Chief. But you’d better give me an hour or so.
The Chief: What for?
Max: Well, I’ve got to get my stockings off the shower rod and my clothes off the floor.
| Insurance Man: How do you do, I’m your Mutual Insurance Man.
Max: Oh, come right in.
(No sooner does he enter than Max fells him with a karate chop to the neck.)
Tanya: Who is he?
Max: Well, I’m not quite sure yet... (Max rifles the man’s wallet.) Uh huh... just as I thought... he’s my Mutual Insurance Agent. (Max helps the groggy agent to his feet.) All right, fella, let’s go. You’ve probably got a lot of calls to make. I’m sorry about that.
Insurance Agent: That’s okay, a lot of people feel that way about insurance.
| Max: Now I’m going to attack you.
Tanya: What?
Max: Nothing to worry about, just a little judo. Nobody will get hurt.
(Max lunges for Tanya who flips him to the ground with a judo move.)
Max: Except me.
| (The Chief is showing Max some slides as part of the Alexi Sebastian briefing. The first is a smiling man in a suit.)
The Chief: Do you know who that is?
Max: Of course, that’s Senator Farfan.
The Chief: Wrong, that’s Alexi Sebastian.
Max: (looking at the next slide) Isn’t that Fred Giles, the tennis champion?
The Chief: Nope, Sebastian again.
Max: Hmm. Nice forehand!
The Chief: Max, Sebastian is so dangerous we consider him to be a 101.
Max: A 101? Shoot on recognition? (The Chief advances to the next slide, a picture of Johnny Carson.) Oh, I know him. That’s Johnny Carson. I watch his show all the time.
The Chief: (shakes his head) Sebastian. He did the Tonight Show for two weeks before they found out.
Max: (looking at the next slide, of a woman) Oh, no, Chief! Not my Aunt Rose!
The Chief: Yes, it’s him again. Gives you quite a shock, doesn’t it?
Max: Not half as much of a shock as it’s going to give Harry!
The Chief: Who’s Harry?
Max: My uncle! (The Chief advances to the final slide, of two men standing before the Capitol Dome.) Which one of them is Sebastian?
The Chief: We still don’t know...
| Tanya: Oh, Maxie... (She stands on the stairs wearing only a towel.)
Max: Yes, Tanya, what is it?
Tanya: Do you have a bathrobe?
Max: I certainly hope not!
| 99: Chief! You know Control’s rule on interrogation. Never interrogate a female suspect without another agent present!
The Chief: Who made that rule?
99: Your wife!
| (Due to Alexi Sebastian’s imposture of The Chief, drink requests are confused: the killer has asked for bourbon, while the real Chief has requested buttermilk to calm his raging stomach. The real Chief has already been served bourbon by mistake once.)
The Chief: I just don’t think my ulcer is going to survive this night. Here, let me have that buttermilk. (He takes the glass from 99 and swallows it before she can stop him.)
99: But, Chief, that’s...
The Chief: (gasping, coughing and gagging) Bourbon again?!? Does bourbon sound like buttermilk?!? Get me some buttermilk!
| Alexi Sebastian: Get me a drink, will you, Max?
Max: Sure thing, Chief.
(Max goes to the door and accepts a glass of buttermilk from the real Chief.)
Max: Oh, thanks, Chief! (He carries the buttermilk to Sebastian.) Here you are, Chief.
| (Max has just shot Alexi Sebastian, who was disguised as the Chief.)
Max: So ends the career of Alexi Sebastian. An ugly customer if ever I saw one.
(The Chief shoots Max a look.)
Max: Oh... sorry about that, Chief!
| The Chief: Max, how did you know he was the imposter?
Max: It was really quite simple, Chief. You see, I remembered that Sebastian had weak eyes, so I merely took this lamp and flashed it in his eyes (Max demonstrates, flashing the lamp in the Chief’s eyes. The Chief squints and looks away.) Uh, oh... I may have made a terrible mistake.

| Max refers to The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson during the briefing on Alexi Sebastian. The Tonight Show has existed in various forms since the nineteen fifties, but at the time this episode aired, Johnny Carson was just three years into his tenure as host. The Tonight Show remains popular late evening fare, a variety show that starts with a monologue and features guests with interesting stories or creative works to promote. Modern viewers might see this as unsubtle product placement since The Tonight Show and Get Smart aired on the same network. In Get Smart’s era, it was probably just a good joke.
