Episode Notes

This is one of the relatively rare episodes that falls outside of the standard series format. There is no tape briefing (and no Bob Johnson as the IMF Tape Voice), no initial briefing, no dossier scene. It starts with two of the members going on a vacation together and coming together to rescue one of their own on short notice and mostly improvising along the way.

The name of the town is Woodfield, an in-joke reference to story consultant William Read Woodfield.
