** Hannibal brings back hamburgers for the team and the woman they've rescued. B.A., having heard them talking about flying, looks at his burger with suspicion and switches with Murdock. Murdock takes a few bites and falls over, apparently sedated. B.A., confident in having outwitted his teammates, takes a bite of Murdock's burger...and falls over himself.
** Hannibal and Face bait and switch the woman's crooked fiance later in the episode. They demand that he take them up to the roof and let them take the helicopter there, even getting the keys. The bad guys draw guns and it looks like they're in trouble. Then Murdock arrives in another helicopter, and it's revealed they only wanted the keys so they could get rid of them, slowing down the pursuers.

On second thought, I think perhaps it's Not The Trope.

* BatmanGambit: The trick that Hannibal pulls on B.A. with the drugged hamburgers relies on B.A. suspecting that his burger is drugged and switching with Murdock. It wouldn't have worked otherwise.

The team gets a job from an airline stewardess, who thinks that her friend, heiress Jackie Taylor, is about to be forced into a marriage. The team crashes the wedding and rescues the bride. However, now they have a whole new set of problems. Her fiance has the entire county in his pocket, making escape difficult, and the situation is further complicated when Jackie reveals her suspicions that her fiance murdered her father, and that the evidence to prove it may be in his office.
!!This episode involves the following tropes:
* AlliterativeName: The VillainOfTheWeek is called Calvin Cutter.
* BrideAndSwitch: The team is hired to get the bride out of the shotgun wedding she's being forced into. To get the bride out, they put Murdock in her wedding dress. During the ceremony, when asked, "Do you take this man ...", he pulls back the veil and says, "I didn't go through all this just to see how I'd look in white!"
* DisguisedInDrag: Face and Murdock climb up a trellis to the room where the bride is being held until the wedding can take place. A few minutes later, Face and Jackie come down, minus Murdock, who is dressed in the wedding gown and veil to distract the wedding party.
* InconvenientItch: Jackie and every member of the team but B.A. ends up with something in a cast after a bad landing, and judging from the fact that people are warned against saying "itch" several times, they're experiencing a lot of itchiness in the affected parts.

* UnwantedSpouse: To keep Jackie's fiance from getting his hands on her money (the reason he wanted to marry her), Hannibal has Face marry her instead. Face drags his feet the whole way. However, it's not so much objection to Jackie in particular (he does give hints of wanting to date her) as it is the fact that he has major {{commitment issues}}.
