* PetTheDog: Despite having no remorse about taking advantage of the team's weakness in trying to save their injured member, Decker does get a moment toward the end when he lets them ride with said injured member after capturing them in case he dies before they can get medical attention.

* LesserOfTwoEvils: As Murdock's condition worsens and Face and Tawnia still haven't returned with medical supplies, Hannibal tells B.A. that he's going out to look for them, and if he can't find them, he'll find Decker instead and bring him back. The sheer fact that Hannibal thinks bringing the team's archnemesis directly to their hiding spot is the better option (and that B.A. doesn't argue) is a big sign of how bad the situation has become.

* OnlyAFleshWound: Played with. Murdock is definitely not all right after being shot in the shoulder, despite his quip that it's "only a puncture in the old fuel tank." He quickly loses a lot of blood and then becomes delirious with fever as the wound becomes infected, in spite of the others' attempts at first aid. However, he survives and returns to normal quickly after his teammates manage to get him some genuine medical treatment.

* VirtueIsWeakness: Col. Decker talks about how having one man wounded will make the A-Team's ability crumble as they try to save their injured member. He's right that it hampers them, but it doesn't stop them. Given that the "virtue" in question is loyalty to their injured friend, it overlaps with a platonic version of LoveIsAWeakness.

Subverted, as Hannibal is not concerned about the bullet itself (he notes that bullets often sterilize themselves in the barrel) but about the pieces of clothes that it took with it. However, it is still portrayed as a dangerous operation.

It's another normal day for the A-Team, another innocent saved, another villain vanquished...until the vengeful villain takes a shot at Hannibal and Murdock jumps in front of it. Suddenly the team has to deal with a medical emergency, with Murdock losing blood and then developing an infection and a fever. The implacable Colonel Decker, determined to use this liability to catch the team, makes matters even worse.
!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
* ClipShow: The episode has several of the main characters remember scenes from previous episodes.
* InTheBack: In the opening, the team turns around and begins to walk away from the villain. Unfortunately, the villain takes the opportunity as a last chance to kill Hannibal and attempts to shoot him, kicking off the rest of the episode.
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: Murdock's condition hampers the team's efforts to get away from Decker, as they can't move fast over the country with an injured man. Murdock, aware of this, begs Hannibal to leave him and get the rest of the team to safety. Hannibal, of course, refuses: "[[NoOneGetsLeftBehind We go out together, or we don't go out at all]]."
* NeverSayDie:
** Averted. When Tawnia protests Face's plan to steal a first aid kit right out from under Decker's nose, Face retorts that Murdock will die without it.
** Later in the episode, Hannibal asks Decker if he and the other members of the team can ride with their injured member "in case he doesn't make it."
