The Lone Star cab company is faced with the overzealous Love Cab company, which is trying to force them out of business; worse, the Love Cab meters are rigged and they sell narcotics out of the trunks. The A-Team is hired by the company and become involved with a war between cab companies on the streets of Los Angeles. Will Love Cab win? Not if Murdock's new superhero persona, Captain Cab, has anything to say about it. In the end, Hannibal tricks the owner into attacking Lone Star HQ, catching him in the act of vandalism and murder, leaving him for the police.

Hannbial uses his usual plan of making Decker think the A-Team left the state, to throw him off their trail; they instead hide out in a small town, only to find that a group of itinerant workers are being exploited by a malignant landowner. Murdock's lunacy for the episode is using a Ouija board. The A-Team step in to help, and encourage the workers to form a union. As usual, the A-Team takes off the moment the military show up.

The A-Team are hired by a construction company who become involved in a turf battle with a larger opposition company over the demolition of an old high-rise building. Things become far more serious when they realise the opposition are backed by a big-time mobster who buried his partner in the foundations years before.

The A-Team are hired by a servicewoman whose brother has been killed by a corrupt officer selling army weapons on the black market. When she double-crosses the team in exchange for Decker's promise to put away the guilty officer, The A-Team are forced to take on both the arms' traders and an entire army base.

When some elderly patrons of a small-time casino just over the Nevada border are robbed by bandits known as "The Scorpions" as they return to Los Angeles, they hire The A-Team to track the offenders down.

The A-Team are hired by a wealthy businessman to rescue his daughter who has been kidnapped by a group of terrorists who are now demanding a large ransom. Hannibal assures the team that the job will be "a piece of cake", but things turn out harder than they look when they find that the girl is reluctant to be saved because her boyfriend is one of the kidnappers, and her father only wants her saved to maintain his public appearance.

Concerned that the team's work has been becoming sloppy, Hannibal leads them on a series of training manoeuvres; frustrating Face and B.A., while Murdock is more than willing. Elsewhile, a corrupt group of wealthy individuals have had enough of the A-Team's interference plummeting their profits. As a result, they hire four highly skilled mercenaries to take out the team - sort of a Negative A-Team/Z-Team - when they're off guard. Reappearance of Tricia O'Neil as the doctor from Season 1's "Black Day at Bad Rock".

A pacifist religious community is intimidated by a group of small town bullies who want to run them off their land, an experience they have faced elsewhere. Tired of running, one of the community seeks the help of The A-Team. In contrast to their usual methods, the A-Team must try to deal with the thugs while adhering to the non-violent beliefs of the community.

Much to the annoyance of everyone but Hannibal, the pacifists decide to leave and try elsewhere as the A-Team had to use violence. Hannibal tells the preacher that it is okay to believe in non-violence, but to some other people it is quite stupid.
