Seasons & Episode
Mr. D. has been foiled repeatedly in his attempts to rub out Buddy Overstreet. So Mr. D. sets up an elaborate plan to trap Buddy. But due to an identity mix-up, the tables are turned, and it is Wendell who falls victim to Mr. D's Revenge.
Everytime Wendell goofs up and lets Buddy Overstreet slip through his fingers, Mr. D. says, ""Good-bye, Wendell"" -- and Wendell has to jump out of a speeding car, or jump off the 12th floor balcony of the Devere Enterprises building. But when Wendell seems to disappear for good, the search is on to find Wendell. In an ironic twist of events, it is now Buddy Overstreet who must try to find Wendell, instead of the other way around.
In the steambath, Buddy had overheard the code words ""Chicken Little,"" which indicated the first part of a master scheme Devere Enterprises had. But now, phase 2 of the plan is in effect: ""The Sky is Falling."" Once again, Buddy is in the wrong place at the wrong time-- when he overhears those words, Mr. D. and his boys come gunning for Buddy again.
After Mr. D. had been chasing Buddy all season, he finds himself being chased: by tax auditors. Devere Enterprises may have to shut down their illegal operations and go legit. Wendell and Harry get regular jobs. Since McGregor had turned state's witness against Norton and Joseph, the secret of ""Chicken Little"" is out; so Mr. D. is no longer hunting for Buddy. So now, when he reads a missing persons ad: ""Buddy Overstreet, Please Come Home"" he can finally go home to his family.
