- While investigating a lead in the Chicago bombing, Annie has an accident that could reveal her heart condition to the agency and cost her her job.
- Auggie works out that the only vague tip extracted from the dying terrorist in Venezuela, that their contact is nicknamed the Postman, refers to Harris Wilson, executive in a reputable institute. Anne fears her career is over after being hospitalized, as the CIA must get insight in her medical record, so she confesses to Auggie that her long absence was to visit Eyal, who had a medical buddy examine and treat her congenital cardiac problem as good as possible. McQuaid fields his next executive Arthur to work a senate committee for lucrative contracts.—KGF Vissers
- Anne and Auggie visit Auggie's paranoid source Roger. He has a name for "the Postman": Harris Wilson, a senior level analyst for the NSA.
Roger heard that Wilson is in the middle of selling off his secrets. Wilson has a background in black bag work. Roger thinks if they go after Wilson, he'll come for them.
Back at Langley, Joan is skeptical, especially given Wilson's squeaky clean record, but she agrees to surveillance.
Auggie can't help because he's going to a banquet with Hailey. Annie doesn't want him to cancel and potentially raise red flags with another agency. Calder orders Joan to an awards dinner honoring Senator Pierson, but she wants to stay on the Postman case. Calder tells her Pierson is considering outsourcing operations on all their domestic facilities to Westbridge Consulting, which Joan finds alarming.
Annie sits on Wilson's house. She gets a call from Ryan McQuaid, inviting her to an awards dinner that night. He flirts, but she gets off the phone when Wilson leaves his house and goes to a building. Annie sneaks up the stairs behind him, but accidentally runs into him. She sees him go into the office of D. Steinberg, Ph.D psychotherapy.
When Wilson leaves, Annie is driving after him casually when all of a sudden a pick-up plows into her car. She wakes up in an ambulance and then at the hospital.
Auggie is in his tux and about to head to the dinner with Hailey when he gets the call about Annie.
Joan and Arthur arrive at the awards dinner. Calder starts talking up the senator who grilled him about Chicago, but he's distracted when he sees his call girl across the room.
At the hospital, a doctor tries to convince Annie to stay overnight for her mild concussion. Her labs showed nitrates and her ekg was off, but she denies knowing about any heart issues.
She's surprised when Auggie arrives, but as her handler he was notified. She's even more concerned when he tells her Langley will deal with her medical records.
Annie wants to break into Wilson's psychologist's office and look at his notes to see if there's anything she can use. Auggie tries to convince her to let another team handle it.
Finally, he can tell she's acting very strange and asks what she's been hiding since she came back.
She tells him about going for a run and feeling a sharp pain in her chest, then collapsing. She needed help far from the CIA, so she went to Eyal.
Flashback to Jerusalem He listens to her heart and tells her it's serious and she needs to see a cardiologist. Eyal's friend looked her over and put her through a battery of tests before telling her it was myocarditis. Eyal puts a positive spin on it, telling her it's an excuse to get out. But Annie thinks it can be managed.
She tells him being in the field is who she is, but he just finds that sad. Later, he points out the secret just makes her weaker because she has a button that can be pushed.
Back in DC, Annie tells Auggie she didn't want to drag him into her secret. She thinks it'll be moot tomorrow once Langley gets the blood sample results. She wants to go out with a win before they take her job away.
Cut to Annie sneaking around the psychologist's office and digging through the files. She pauses when she hear a noise, then grabs a file and rejoins Auggie in the car as she goes through them. She finds that Wilson had an affair -- he as a secret they can leverage.
Annie heads to the award's dinner so they can convince Joan.
At the gala, Calder corners his call girl and nuzzles her neck in the wings. Then he takes her into the coat closet and they have sex as Senator Pierson accepts her award.
After the speech, Joan approaches Senator Pierson, who is frosty to her. Joan tries to tell her they're close to catching the person responsible for the Chicago bombing, but Pierson isn't interested after Joan says she can't discuss details.
Ryan McQuaid checks in with Arthur. McQuaid has heard about Pierson's plans to outsource Langley's spy work and wants his company to get the contract. Arthur doesn't like the idea of making money off a tragedy, but McQuaid tells him Pierson's mind is already made up to outsource the work and it might as well be them.
Arthur joins Joan and Sen. Pierson, who is all too glad to be done talking to Joan. Arthur takes the senator out on the dance floor and makes his pitch.
Annie and Auggie reach the party and head for Joan. They want her to call Wilson's boss at NSA and call him in so Annie can approach Wilson's wife and use his affair to turn her. Joan agrees.
As they're leaving, Auggie and Annie run into Hailey, who is annoyed Auggie missed the whole evening. Hailey is curt to Annie, reminding her she needs to interview her about Chicago. Auggie apologizes, but says he needs to leave.
Joan runs into Calder straightening his clothes and coming from the coat closet with the call girl.
Annie waits for Wilson to leave his house, then goes to talk to his wife. She's ready to throw Annie off her steps but Annie tells her her husband is selling state secrets. Wilson's wife has enough and shuts the door in Annie's face.
Back in the car with Auggie, he tells Annie it's time to call it a night. Annie thinks it's her last night in the field.
Back at the party, McQuaid is impressed with Arthur's dealmaking, and says it'll help them keep the world safe.
Outside, Calder asks Joan how much she saw. She knows what was happening and says the same woman was on the arm of a senator known to hire escorts. She tells him whatever the woman cost, she's not worth it.
When Arthur joins her, Joan tries not to be upset McQuaid got the contract, reminding him that McQuaid still won't tell them what he got from his hour alone with the bomber.
In the parking lot, Hailey finds Auggie waiting by her limo. He's forgiven.
Annie watches the sun come up by the Washington Monument, pondering the end of her career. She goes home and waters her dead plant.
Then Harris Wilson walks out of her bedroom with a Taser. He tries to grab her and she fights him off. She grabs for her gun but he flings her through her bedroom door. She dives on her bed and rolls over and aims at him, shooting him through a pillow as he charges her.
At Langley, Joan updates Annie. A sweep team found a laptop at Harris's house confirming he sold the Chicago station protocol to someone, as well as info on another bureau in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. They evacuated all 83 people an hour ago. Money was transferred through a bank in Paris two days before the attack.
She tells Annie it was a big win. But then Annie sees her medical file on Joan's desk. Joan starts to chastise her and Annie braces herself. But Joan only mentions Annie's concussion. That's it. She gives Annie the day off.
Calder finishes up a nooner with the call girl. He cringes when she says she won't charge him for last night. He asks her out to dinner, but she cuts him off, telling him the arrangement is no strings by design.
Annie runs into Ryan McQuaid on her way out of the building. She thanks him again for the gun.
Annie drops in on Auggie to thank him for changing her medical records. She finds Hailey there from the night before, but assures him it's not weird. He changed the records because it's her info and her life, so her decision what to share, he says. But he makes her promise he'll be honest with her in the future.
Annie heads back to her life as a spy.
