With divers trying to retrieve information from a CIA fiber optics line, the tether is cut by a storm and the submarine plummets to a depth it’s not built to reach.

In D.C., Charlie, POTUS and the First Gentleman are having a meal in honor of Aaron’s birthday.

Charlie wishes to never lose the feeling that Aaron is watching, while POTUS wishes for justice to bell all who took her son away. But what about Fatah? The asset Charlie is yet to tell her boss about? Charlie remains mum.

 

Later on, Charlie receives a text message that reads "Remember Me?" It contains a photo of her and Nick escorting Fatah.

We also later learn that a CIA asset named Anatoli is working to solve the Russian submarine problem and has contacted Langley for help.

The main problem afoot? The data in the fiber optics cables is comprised not only weapons specs, but also the identities of all of their assets worldwide. What to do, what to do…

Charlie ends up manipulating Anatoli to sacrifice himself for the sake of national security, using intel about him joining th CIA for a sense of self-worth against him.

ELSEWHERE:

  • Nestor Carbonell is introduced as the new Director of the CIA.
  • Charlie laments the fate of Anatoli in a bar with Maureen, with Nick staring at them creepily from a car to conclude the episode.
