Ep 12. Hot Styles

The A-Team season 3 episode 12, titled "Hot Styles," follows the team as they are hired by a fashion designer named Valerie Gordon, who believes that her fashion show is in danger of being infiltrated by a rival who wants to steal her designs. The A-Team must work quickly to protect Valerie and ensure that her show goes off without a hitch.

As the team begins their investigation, they soon realize that Valerie's fears are not unfounded. They discover that a rival fashion designer, named Al Massey, is indeed planning to steal Valerie's designs for his own fashion line. Despite their initial suspicions, the A-Team quickly realizes that Al Massey is working with a group of gangsters to carry out his plan.

To prevent Al Massey and his cronies from disrupting the fashion show, the A-Team devises a plan to trick Massey into believing that Valerie's designs are actually worthless. They create a fake fashion line that mimics Valerie's designs, but with slight alterations that make them appear less valuable. They then plant the fake designs in Valerie's workshop, which Massey promptly steals. Massey is soon caught by the police, and the A-Team ensures that Valerie's show goes on without any issues.

As the episode unfolds, we see the A-Team using their unique set of skills to protect Valerie and her fashion show. Hannibal devises the plan to deceive Massey, while Face and Murdock handle the more hands-on tasks of planting the fake designs and ensuring that the show runs smoothly. B.A. is tasked with protecting Valerie herself, and he does so with his usual no-nonsense attitude.

Throughout the episode, we also get a peek into the world of high fashion, which is somewhat of a departure for the show. We see the A-Team navigating the catwalks and backstage areas of the fashion show, which adds an interesting element of glamour to the typically action-packed series.

Overall, "Hot Styles" is a fun and entertaining episode of The A-Team. While it's somewhat light on the action, it makes up for it with its clever plot and lighthearted tone. It's a refreshing change of pace for the series, and it showcases the A-Team's versatility when it comes to taking on different types of missions. Fans of the show will surely enjoy this episode, as will anyone who appreciates a good fashion-themed caper.
