The A-Team, with Amy in tow, raids Jamestown after a father hires them to save his daughter Sheila from the cult. While Murdock is able to get the clients to safety, Hannibal, B.A., Face, and Amy get captured by the cultists. Now they have to stay alive and fight their way out against overwhelming odds.
!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
* CultColony: Jamestown. It's organized something like a fort with armed guards, and the cultists are kept under strict rules, including enforced "vows of silence".
* DeadpanSnarker: Amy makes a few snarky remarks about the situation when the injured Face manages to invoke the FlorenceNightingaleEffect on a local farmer's daughter.
* DeclarationOfProtection: When he realizes Amy is having trouble coping with the fear of death, B.A. tells her that he won't let anything hurt her.
* HidingBehindReligion: Martin James is always spouting off vaguely religious statements. However, Hannibal declares early on that his real motive isn't religion; it's power.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Martin James sentences the team and Amy to a trial, which involves running on foot from the cultists in jeeps while the cultists try to shoot them down. They manage to give them the slip by hiding against an embankment until the cultists pass.
* IDontWantToDie: When the captured team members inform her that she has to accept that it's possible they ''won't'' make it out in order to function under fire, Amy has a minor HeroicBSOD and says softly that she doesn't want to die.
* MomentKiller: Face is giving the farmer's daughter a definition of "the jazz" and she's hanging on his every word. They're just about to kiss when Murdock comes up and says he can't find the bubble bath, and further disrupts the mood by revealing that he's looking for it because of Face's fondness for it.
* NonSequiturThud: Face takes one to the... well, face. When Hannibal asks how many fingers he's holding up, the bleary commando volunteers "Gargh... Blue... TREE!"
* RunningGag:
** In the beginning of the episode, Hannibal accidentally splits Face's lip during a pretend fight, and B.A. complains about it, saying that Face's smile gets them good hotel rooms. A few minutes later, when they meet up with Murdock, he complains about it too.
** The team begins mocking the cultists who have them captive by wondering what they wear under the skirts of their robes. The cultists respond by hitting them in the gut. B.A. finishes it up, and the cultist hits him. He doesn't flinch.
* TeamHandStack: While comforting Amy, Face, B.A., and Hannibal stack their hands on top of each other.
* TitleDrop: The cult leader makes a reference to the "children of Jamestown."
* WardrobeWound: Hannibal makes a big deal out of the fact that cult leader Martin James forced him to take off his ostrich boots before the manhunt. He even lists it to a local farmer as one of the grievances he has against James ([[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking along with the people he's got captive]]).
* UndyingLoyalty: Murdock goes back after the others after dropping the clients of the week off safely, despite the immense odds against him.
