The A-Team season 3 episode 21 titled "Waste 'Em!" follows the classic team of mercenaries as they struggle to protect a small town from the hazardous waste dumping practices of a powerful corporation. When the team is called in to help stop the illegal dumping, they quickly realize that they're up against a group of ruthless corporate executives who are willing to do whatever it takes to keep their dirty secret safe.
The A-Team's leader Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith (George Peppard) comes up with a plan to stop the waste dumping and expose the corporation's criminal activity to the public. Together with his right-hand man Lieutenant Templeton "Faceman" Peck (Dirk Benedict), Sergeant Bosco "B.A." Baracus (Mr. T), and Captain H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock (Dwight Schultz), Hannibal sets out to make sure justice is served and the people of the town are protected.
The team's first challenge is to gather evidence of the corporation's wrongdoing. Faceman goes undercover at the local plant, posing as a new hire to collect information about the company's practices. But his cover is quickly blown when he's caught snooping around by the corporation's security team.
Meanwhile, B.A. poses as a truck driver to gain access to the company's waste disposal site. He successfully infiltrates the site, but soon discovers that the corporation is using deadly force to keep their secret safe. B.A. is forced to fight off a group of armed guards to protect himself and the evidence he's gathered.
Hannibal and Murdock play a more strategic role, devising a plan to shut down the plant and expose the corporation's misdeeds to the public. They come up with an elaborate scheme that involves using explosives to create a diversion, giving the A-Team the opportunity to infiltrate the plant undetected.
But the plan quickly goes awry when the corporation's security team catches on and unleashes a wave of deadly force against the A-Team. Hannibal and the others are outgunned and outnumbered, and it seems like all is lost.
In a dramatic turn of events, the team manages to turn the tables on the corporation and come out victorious. They successfully shut down the hazardous waste plant and expose the corporation's illegal activity to the public.
In the end, the A-Team saves the town from the dangerous environmental consequences of the corporation's actions while also bringing justice to the people who were wronged. The episode concludes with Hannibal delivering one of his famous catchphrases: "I love it when a plan comes together."
