An enemy agent, Eric Stavak (Albert Paulsen) is working in San Francisco with a team. They've already kidnapped two top scientists and their wives. He plans on doing the same with one more scientist--and together his goal is to get the three to work on some 'ultimate weapon' for his nation. The IM Force knows who the third scientist and his wife are--and he and Cinnamon take their place. The goal is to get Phelps inside wherever they are hiding their prisoners and help out with an escape. To do so, the team counts on the fact that this is San Francisco--the land of earthquakes. Using high frequency sound and a lot of other cool gizmos, they plan on faking an earthquake--and providing an opportunity for the escape.
This is an extremely well-constructed episode. It also does what the show does best--puts scum-bags into situations that they THINK are real (such as train rides, a nuclear holocaust, aboard a Nazi sub, etc.) and use this to their advantage. In this case, they manage to fool the spies and save some lives in the process using this trickery. Well worth seeing.
