Outline

Simone Martin (Sandrine Holt) is served a subpoena to testify in front of Senator Paley’s (Dylan Baker) subcommittee. At a proffer session, she is shown evidence of her cash transactions, which was presented to Paley by Dante (Morgan Spector). Martin requests immunity in exchange for naming the person who ordered her to drop off the cash. When it becomes clear that Martin is going to implicate Wellington (Linus Roache), Carrie (Claire Danes) wants to disrupt the proceedings as she believes Wellington to be innocent based on her surveillance. Dante is able to dissuade her. Not knowing how to proceed, Carrie explains the situation to Saul (Mandy Patinkin). As they recount the chain of events, Saul helps Carrie realise that Dante was the originator of the lead on Simone Martin, and that Dante might have been setting Carrie up from the beginning to bring down Wellington.

Saul recruits ex-CIA Russia expert Sandy (Catherine Curtin) and tech guru Clint (Peter Vack) to begin investigating Russia’s possible disinformation campaign. When a video of Wellington confronting Simone Martin goes viral, Clint deduces that the video originally came from a network of automated social media accounts – the same ones that disseminated the fake story about the supposed death of J.J. Elkins.

Krupin (Mark Ivanir) requests a meeting with Yevgeny Gromov (Costa Ronin) where he orders Gromov to cease operations that have led to the deaths of American citizens on US soil, a violation of their protocol. Gromov dismisses Krupin’s concerns as those of an outdated regime. Shortly afterwards, Krupin is drowned by Gromov’s henchmen. Saul finds his necklace at the scene after receiving Krupin’s distress signal.

Carrie organises a celebration at a local bar, inviting Max (Maury Sterling), Dante, Anson (James D’Arcy), Stein (William Popp), Doxie (Clé Bennett), and Bennet (Ari Fliakos). Carrie seduces Dante and they go back to his apartment. As they kiss, Dante falls unconscious, having been drugged by Carrie. The rest of Carrie’s team enters the apartment to search and take photos.
