Excellent Episode and a Missed Opportunity

To stop an assassination the team has to work on frequent guest star Albert Paulsen and his henchman, Bruce Glover (apparently channelling Peter Lorre).

Jessica Walter makes a good showing as this week's "revolving door" token female and it wouldn't have been a bad idea to take her on permanently (though it's no secret Lee Meriwether wanted the gig).

Walter has a meaty role infiltrating the enemy's headquarters and making free with their files, though her skirt is a trifle short for Iron Curtain countries at the time. It's a society clearly based on East Germany and they'd have been too prudish for miniskirts. It's one of the ways the show falls into the trap of being timely (including Phelps' lengthening hair and Willy's ditto sideburns).
