EPISODE OVERVIEW

0 Reviews 0 Votes

The hard-nosed head of the F.B.I., Betty Winn, pays the White House a visit and crushes Judith's plans to start up an F.B.I.-endorsed youth crime-prevention program. Betty's passing mention of an upcoming basketball match between the Secret Service and the F.B.I. invokes Judith to hedge a bet between the two: if the Secret Service's team beats the F.B.I.'s, Betty will agree to provide agents for Judith's crime program. 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. Unfortunately for the B-Team, Dag's secret weapon -- Agent Freddy "Shooter" Jones -- is not quite the b-ball superstar Dag was led to believe. Add a recap »
