Who is Scarecrow?

Amanda is mistaken for Scarecrow (in a believable way) and held for exchange for an enemy agent by a group of spies (headed by Lee Bergere from "Dynasty"). The complication? Higher ups in the Agency (voiced by John Saxon) don't think she's worth the swap. It's up to Stetson to go rogue to get Amanda out of this jam he got her into.

Though some of this episode is brazenly borrowed from Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" this episode spotlights Amanda's strengths and maintains the humor. Kate Jackson is at her best.

Highlights include Francine's first visit to the King household, where she gleefully sides with Amanda's mother (Beverly Garland) on everything.

Lee: [untying her wrists] I know, I know.
Amanda: [breaks down] I don't know how anybody could mistake me for you; you're so much taller.
Lee: [put his arm around her as she rests her head on his shoulder] I'm sorry. Take it easy. Take it easy.
Amanda: I was...
Lee: It's all over...
