KAOS kidnaps Mrs. Smart (99) and replaces her with an exact duplicate that is feeding Max poison bit by bit. Barbra Feldon finally gets to do something after a season of more or less playing mom to the twins. She plays a dual role as 99 and as KAOS lookalike Sonja, who plans to replace 99 then poison Max and frame her for the murder. Why KAOS doesn't just shoot 99 while they have her prisoner and kill Max while he thinks Sonja is his wife is left unanswered.<br/><br/>Despite the strange logic of the situation, the main thing is the script is very funny and the direction by Adams is again crisp and well done. Robert Karvelas gets even more moments than usual in this one, as the one spy even dumber than Max. Adams even delivers a line about how many people have asked if they're related (played for a joke here, but Karvelas was his real-life brother in law). H.M. Wynant returns to the series as bad guy Melnick Archer after playing a KAOS club owner in "Pussycat Galore" in 1967.
