Quotes
Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. Undercover agent Warren Hays, assigned to gather evidence against the underworld empire of John Lawson, was recently blinded in the line of duty. Lawson's right-hand man, Carl Deetrich, and his chief business adviser, Henry Matula, are bitter rivals, each hoping to succeed Lawson. Henry Matula is our man, infiltrated into the Syndicate five years ago. Now he is in danger of being uncovered. Conventional law enforcement agencies are unable to protect him. Your mission, Jim, if you should decide to accept it, is to preserve Matula's cover and to see that he is moved up in the organization. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.

Casey

Growing up, Mission: Impossible was my favorite show. Lynda Day George joins in Season 6 as Casey. Not Lisa Casey. She will always be Casey to me. The character's name is wrongly credited here.

This is how it came to pass. The first run of this show ended in 1973. Fifteen years later, the 1988 writers' strike led to a revival of Mission: Impossible. Actress Terry Markwell played a character also named Casey. She only lasted a single season before being killed off. But when Lynda Day George made a guest star appearance in 1989, on the episode 'Reprisal,' they decided to rename her Lisa Casey so as not to confuse viewers of the revival series who knew Terry Markwell as Casey.

It was a total mistake.
