Outline

Carrie contacts Saul and relays the connection between Allison and Ahmed Nazari, but Saul is not convinced at first. Quinn is now back in Berlin, a captive of Bibi’s jihadist group. He tries to convince Qasim, one of the members of the group, to stop the attack by explaining the effects of sarin gas.

With coordination with the BND, Saul and Carrie hatch a plan for Allison to contact her Russian handlers as hard proof of her being a Russian double agent. Saul plants a software bug in Allison’s phone and microphone in her purse while she is asleep. The BND discloses to Allison that a top Russian agent plans to defect to Germany, triggering a panicking Allison to go to a Russian safe house and meet with Ivan.

Quinn is brought inside a gas chamber to be a test subject for the effectiveness of their gas composition, but prior to that, Qasim is able to inject him with an antidote that will limit the effects of the gas. The gas is turned on and Quinn begins convulsing.
