This drama-filled episode from season five had a pair of endings scripted. It was up to fans to decide which one was shown.
The Fifth season of A-Team is known to be not as popular as the original Four seasons. Murdock learns the results of the DNA test and tells Face. Since MeTV has run it now for two cycles, and it's the beginning of February, am guessing this is Good-Bye for the A-Team too. "What the Team doesn't know, and what viewers will have a chance to decide, is whether A.J. This part was going to be in the episode no matter what the fans' final vote was. This is where the viewers come in. The winning ending will be telecast." Because this is a new person to the Team, Murdock has his suspicions on if Bancroft is telling the truth. The season five episode "Family Reunion" is a prime example. A series of intense, back-and-forth exchanges occur between Murdock and the ailing man on whether or not to tell Face this revelation. Bancroft reveals to Murdock he has a son, one he hasn't seen since he was a boy. Whether the mission takes place out of the country or in the home-base of Los Angeles, the squad has to prepare for just about anything.
