Only there's just one problem; the F.B.I. never loses. Dag agrees to coach the B-Team, hires a ringer to help sway the odds in their favor, and becomes so confident of their chances of winning that he makes a side bet with the F.B.I.

Camilla pulls a stint that causes her mother to get caught in the act in front of her campaignees. Dag uses Camilla to get Judith to quit, the same way he quit himself years ago. But Judith's campaign sparks a visit from a tobacco lobbyist, Senator Culpepper, who is none too pleased about her new goal, and schemes to get her to start smoking again.

Judith is upset when Miss March winds up at the president's table for his birthday dinner. Dag sees that Miss March is about to feed the president coconut cake -- which he's allergic to -- and, this time, jumps in the way to save him... injuring Miss March in the process. Grateful to Dag for saving his life, President Whitman promotes him back to the A-Team -- at the expense of Morton, who's demoted to the B-Team.

16. Mr. Daggett Goes to Washington

Aired: 5/29/2001

Dag asks Agents Cole and Pillows to lie for him and pretend he's still working for the A-Team, as his father, Russell, is in town and Dag is too ashamed to tell him he's been demoted. The elder Daggett finds out anyway -- and makes Dag feel even more ashamed. Russell, a champion in putt-putt, guilts his son into a match. Which is not too hard since Dag wants to give his over-critical old man something to be proud of. Meanwhile, Judith forces Camilla to redo a term paper she turned in that compared McCarthyism to Felicity and Britney Spears. Of course, the First Lady is unaware at the time that Sullivan wrote it -- and Camilla paid him a hundred dollars for it. And Russell knows a few incriminating things about Ginger from his former career as a beat cop, while Cole can't seem to take the hint that her dad is gay.

17. The Triangle Report

The theft of a secret government document could either ensure Dag's return to the President's detail or make him the prime suspect in its disappearance. Meanwhile, Agent Baxter retires and shares colorful stories which mask personal issues.
