Jalapa, Honduras, St. John and Jason Locke, in Airwolf are supporting Colonel Coombs and his team in their mission to rescue Reynolds, the ambassador to Colombia, who was kidnapped by guerrillas. Briggs contacts Coombs and tells him that the ambassador has been secured and is ready for extraction. Airwolf successfully retrieves Reynolds and while the team is heading to the rally point, Coombs' helicopter is hit by small arms fire and he veers into Brad Lacey's helicopter which then crashes. Back at C.O.M.B.A.T. headquarters, Coombs is brought up on charges of murder for the death of Lacey.
Thompson and Lt. Jennings walk into Lydia's Bar and order beer and Captain Parkinson tells Thompson and Jennings that she wants them in her office on Sunday. Thompson tries to punch St. John, when St. John criticizes his behavior and is forced to leave the bar by Lidia. The trial begins and Thompson is the next to take the stand and he tells the court that Coombs' hard left maneuver was not standard operating procedure. St. John shows the court the video with an enhancement that shows Coombs took fire from Thompson's helicopter while he was trying to protect Lacey. He then accuses Thompson and the rest of the team, except Coombs, of planning to kill Lacey when they found out he was a traitor. Thompson finally admits to it and the trial ends.
