Jill McCann an FBI agent, poses as Sam's wife, and two children, 6-year-old Paul and 4-year-old-Joan complete his "cover family." THe set-up looks fishy to Jeff, and he imparts his suspicions to Lea Damoran , the girl both brothers had courted in the old days. Meanwhile, Sam works hard and makes friends with most of the men in his crew. He gets a line on the saboteurs and one by one, their identities are revealed to him.
