[Forget Me Not, Sucker]: Decker attempts to get the truth out of Murdock with drugs but he ends up losing his memory instead, which gets to be a problem when the Team needs him. Sharp and very well-written.

[The Big Bad Wolfe]: Very well written, humorous story, written in the true fashion of the show's original episodes. The team help a woman save the foster home she runs from demolition by the army.
