MP General 'Bull' Fullbright uses the needy girl-trick once too often, and is captured by the team but for once only was looking for them as a prospective client, claiming he wants them to go to Vietnam and free a POW colonel, his personal friend they presumed killed in action, who might dis-incriminate them. Once there, he sneaks away and is barely saved from a girl who tries to shoot him. He comes clean the POW was a lie, he recently learned he has a half-blood soon and wants the A-Team to help bring him home. It soon turns out he was tricked too, there is no son but that girl who wanted kill to him... - IMDB

Murdock: Free! I need to be free! I'm suffocating. I need to get out. Out! And I will grant three wishes to whoever does me the good deed. I can make you beautiful. I can make you rich. I can make you poor. But you e-ther or i-ther got it, or you haven't got style. [sings] And if you got it, it stands out a mile.
Fullbright: I'm not gonna have any part of this. We're busting a ring ding out of the hospital!
B.A.: I finally agree with this guy!
Fullbright: This is my mission, we're gonna do it my way. You know, we're all part of the same team.
Hannibal: Correction. The team did not join you, you are joining the team. Now if you wanna tag along, fine, but keep your mouth shut and be a good soldier.
Fullbright: You'll never get away with this. Never. We're gonna get thrown into the stockade. Oh my God, I'll be in a cell next to the A-Team.
B.A.: At least you won't have to chase all over town to find us any more.

Contrary to popular belief, General Fullbright who gets shot and killed in this episode WAS NOT the first and only character to get shot or die during the show's run.
General Fulbright gets interrogated by the Team in the same spa that was first seen in the 3rd season episode "Champ!"
After guest starring in the season 4 finale episode, "The Sound of Thunder", Tia Carrere was supposed to join the A-Team as a member for the start of the 5th season. But due to her not being able to get out of her contract with the soap-opera "General Hospital" (1963), the idea was axed. Her character was never mentioned again. - IMDB

Towards the end of episode, Murdock gets shot. You can even see the blood. Yet, they never show him getting patched up, and they don't mention it, he's just magically fully recovered in the next scene.
