Outline

Saul and Allison spend dinner at the house of Etai Luskin, the Israeli ambassador to Germany, and discuss peace in the Middle East. Etai calls Saul out for wanting to replace President Assad of Syria with General Youssef.

Meanwhile, Carrie wakes up and Quinn prepares for her to fake her death. Saul and Allison hatch a plan to dupe General Youssef into believing that their clinic will give General Youssef’s daughter a new kidney. But they are really there to offer the General the position of new president of Syria, after Assad’s ouster.

Meanwhile, Laura pushes Jonas to connect her with Sabine, another hacker who is under house arrest. She needs Sabine to get to Numan so she can find out why the USB flash drive he gave her was blank. Numan now realizes that Korzenik double-crossed him. Korzenik is seen meeting with Ivan Krupin, a Russian intelligence officer, to whom he is selling the leaked documents. Korzenik and his girlfriend are killed by Krupin and his men in order to steal the documents rather than pay him. Quinn goes back to the post office to leave proof of Carrie’s death. When Quinn emerges from the post office, a man in a sedan opens fire at him, but Carrie backs their car into the shooter’s.

The shooter hits Quinn, who returns fire, killing the shooter. Carrie takes a wounded Quinn back to a safe house. Carrie retrieved the dead shooter’s phone from the scene and calls the only number recorded on the phone, and Allison answers, speaking Russian. Allison is at the runway with Saul seeing General Youssef off. Soon after the plane takes off, it explodes in midair.
