Storyline

FBI agents and Russian killers pursue a man and woman, Ralph's students are disillusioned and preparing to drop out of school, and Bill is given a lie detector test where he is caught covering for his extra-terrestrial and super-suit escapades, causing him to be suspended from the FBI until he takes a follow-up test. Bill comes up with a plan to resolve the high-profile FBI case in order to buy himself out of the failed test predicament, enlisting Ralph and Pam to help him.

Trivia

When Soviets steal Maxwell's FBI parking spot he jabs at them "you guys really blew it in Egypt". The year before, 1980 (when filming probably took place) Egyptian Leader Anwar Sadat had grew tired of former ally Soviet Union's condemnation of Egyptian-Israel peace progress. He expelled Soviet diplomats and also it was announced that Afghan Guerillas were training in Egypt to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. Sadat would be assassinated months after this show aired in early 1981.

Goofs

Bill says everyone is polygraphed every 6 months, but polygraphs are administered as part of the hiring process and then every 5 years when their national security background investigation is updated assuming there has been nothing unusual or changing positions.
