Meanwhile, Stan, the FBI’s counter-intelligence officer continues to fall dangerously in love with Nina.

The spies try to permeate a military contractor’s facility to complete their deceased comrades’ operation and retrieve the specs for a top-secret piece of equipment before it’s shipped to a secure location. As Elizabeth reflects on her history with Leanne, she wrestles with keeping a promise she made to her old friend long ago, but Philip fears recent events have weakened his wife’s dedication to their ongoing operation. Meanwhile Paige started digging into her mother’s background.

The agents’ latest mission involves a precarious naval officer who is inflicting danger to their family, and Elizabeth must work with Nicaraguan spy Lucia to infiltrate a congressman’s office. Meanwhile, Oleg meets Stan in an isolated warehouse and gives him an ultimatum – hand over the FBI surveillance logs pertaining to him within three days or he will blow Nina’s cover.

Kate relays orders for Philip to bug the Arpanet to monitor US government communications, which he accomplishes with the help of Duluth, while Larrick tells Elizabeth he has been ordered to Nicaragua. After consulting with Arkady and Oleg, Nina informs Stan she will take the FBI’s polygraph test.

Philip and Elizabeth face throbbing developments in their missions as their fellow spies fail to complete their tasks, while Stan tries to gain access to an American military programme that could give him the upper hand in his battle of wills with Oleg.

Philip is pushed to the edge of his conscience when he and Elizabeth gained access to a rebel training base, and the couple attend the church to which Paige has donated all her savings. Meanwhile, Stan discovers Sandra is having an affair.

On his latest assignment, Philip requests the help of Annelise, the Deputy Undersecretary of Defence’s wife, having previously worked with her to obtain photos of the defence secretary’s office. Stan on the other side, discovers something that could bring him closer to the KGB illegals.

Philip befriends a former engineer to find out more about the stealth programme, Elizabeth is shocked when she uncovers new information about Kate, and Stan promises to protect Nina whatever the cost as he continues his pursuit of the spies.
