Billy Melrose is abducted, instituting "Operation Possum." I'm not sure why that title. Possums are known for playing dead in trouble, not going underground, like the Agency does.
Guest star John Colicos is a Soviet renegade trying yo spark World War III. A nice touch. Usually with Hollywood types it's Americans who do that, esp. In the Reagan era. We're the warmongers, however much Soviet leaders insist they'll "bury" us.
So after much running around they get to the bomb and the bolts have to be taken off in sequence. Nothing new there. It's hardly a spoiler. We know the bomb didn't go off and blow up Arlington. Or do we?
1 I like an episode that opens with a confusing few minutes and this does that in spades.
