Luis Berezan is the ex-dictator of Alcante. While he seems reasonably content to enjoy his forced retirement, his wife, Emelia (BarBara Luna), lives to eventually return and reclaim the throne she thinks is rightfully hers. And, with the fortune they've looted from their country's treasury, she might just be able to do it. Taking her out is important, not just for this reason but because when the episode begins, she murders Casey...one of the IMF team members (the one and only time this happened in any of the shows). As a result, she's replaced from here on by Shannon (Jane Badler).
I really liked BarBara Luna in this one. She looked great for 50, but the reason I liked her was how vicious and despicable her character was. Juicy and easy to hate! All in all, an enjoyable and VERY unique episode.
The reason the show killed off Casey was that the actress playing her, Terry Markwell, did not like being on the program. The feeling must have been mutual, as instead of just replacing her, they killed her off...making zero chance of her returning in any form other than a zombie! This zombie appearance, fortunately, never occurred.
