B.A. notices something wrong with Jeffrey Sullivan, a teenager at his youth center. Investigating, he, Hannibal, and Hulk Hogan discover that the young man's life is far worse than he has let on -- his father is drinking himself to death and the Chicago underworld is after them for their own set of reasons.
!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* TheAlcoholic: Harry Sullivan. Jeffrey tells B.A. that he's been drinking heavily since Jeffrey's mom died. Later, the group finds him drunk in a movie theatre and shortly thereafter, he goes into shock and has to be rushed to the hospital.
* BashBrothers: Face and Murdock do their share of tag-teaming the antagonists, especially given that the antagonists are bigger than either of them.
* DoomedNewClothes: Face buys Murdock a new suit before their double date. Of course, it gets ruined in the course of the fighting and running away the two have to do.
* DoubleDate: Part of the episode concerns Face and Murdock attempting to go on a date with identical twins. It goes off the rails when Hannibal calls needing their assistance with the case.
* HypocriticalHumor: Murdock repeatedly tells Face that he shouldn't have answered the phone -- except that it was ''Murdock'' who answered the phone.
* RunningGag:
** Murdock repeatedly tells Face he shouldn't have answered the phone.
** Face repeatedly tells the girls they'll be meeting them soon, whereupon something else happens to keep them away.
** The team crossing paths with William "The Refrigerator" Perry.
* SuperWindowJump: Jeffrey jumps out the window attempting to escape the guys who came looking for his father.
* ThemeTwinNaming: The twins Face and Murdock are supposed to go on a date with are called Rikki and Vikki.
* UnwillingSuspension: Face and Murdock get hung upside down on two separate occasions by two separate groups of people during the course of the episode.
* WeNeedADistraction: Hannibal tasks "Hulk" Hogan with distracting the police officers while he gets the money out of the car where Jeffrey stashed it. "Hulk" keeps their attention by lifting the back end of a police car off the ground with his bare hands.
* YouKilledMyFather: Gangster Richie Ifker, who is after Harry Sullivan, has this as a motive; Harry apparently killed his brother years ago. Of course, it was an accident.
