By the time "The Deal" aired at the end of 1972, Mission: Impossible had gone through a LOT of changes. Of the original cast, only Greg Morris and Peter Lupus remained, and the IMF team had gone to dealing with organized crime.
That said, this episode is a taut one with a terrific cast. Here, we have LLoyd Bochner, Van Williams, Robert Webber and Lana Wood, among others. And Peter Lupus gets to shine here with a subplot in which he is wounded and taken in by the bad guys.
This episode moves at a fast pace, and keeps you in suspense. However, as we all know, this was the final season for the series. Still, not a bad way to end its run.
