Scarecrow and Mrs. King is an American television series that aired from 1983 to 1987. The show is about a divorced mother of two, Amanda King (Kate Jackson), and a government agent, Lee Stetson (Bruce Boxleitner), who partner up to solve crimes and fight for their country. In season 1 episode 1, titled "The First Time," viewers are introduced to the two main characters and their unlikely partnership.

The episode begins with Amanda, a housewife from Arlington, Virginia, running errands with her two young sons. She accidentally trips and spills all her groceries on the street. Lee, who is on a mission, sees the chaos and realizes that Amanda has something he needs. He approaches Amanda and hands her a package, claiming it was dropped by someone. Before he leaves, he tells her to wait for his call and not to open the package.

Confused and intrigued by the encounter, Amanda heads back home but can't shake off the strange feeling she has. During dinner, she tells her mother and sister about her day, including the strange package handed to her by a handsome stranger. Her mother and sister brush it off as a coincidence, but Amanda can't shake off the feeling that something is not right.

Lee, on the other hand, knows exactly what is in the package. It is a film of a U.S. rocket launch, but more importantly, it has been tampered with and contains a virus that could destroy the rocket during takeoff. Lee's mission is to retrieve the film and find out who the enemy is that is trying to sabotage the launch.

Lee calls Amanda and sets up a meeting in a hotel lobby. He gives her a fake name, Scarecrow, and briefs her on the situation. He asks her to keep the package safe and calls her once he figures out where to meet her. Amanda, excited to be a part of something thrilling, agrees to help Lee.

Amanda arrives at a diner where Lee is waiting for her. He is acting strange and warns her to stay calm and collected. Just then, Lee is approached by a group of men who try to take the package from Amanda. Lee and Amanda are forced to flee the diner, leaving their pursuers behind.

As they race through the streets of D.C., Lee and Amanda realize that they are being followed. They end up in a parking garage, where they manage to stall their pursuers and escape.

Back at Amanda's house, Lee opens the package and confirms that the film has been tampered with. He needs to replace the film with the original one, but he can't do it alone. He enlists Amanda's help to sneak into the NASA building, where the launch is scheduled to happen the next day.

At NASA, Lee and Amanda manage to sneak past security and replace the film just in time for the launch. They watch as the rocket takes off successfully, saving the launch from being sabotaged. Lee and Amanda exchange knowing looks as they head back to Amanda's car, realizing they make a great team.

"The First Time" sets up the premise of the series perfectly by introducing the two main characters and the type of adventures they will be going on. Viewers get a glimpse into what each character brings to the table and how they will complement each other. The episode is action-packed and fast-paced, leaving audiences intrigued and wanting more.
