Elizabeth (Keri Russell) dines with Young Hee (Ruthie Ann Miles) at her house, although Young Hee notes how distant Don (Rob Yang) has become. She and Philip (Matthew Rhys) later meet with Gabriel (Frank Langella), who informs them they will receive a new recruit.
The Jennings are visited by Alice (Suzy Jane Hunt), who states that Pastor Tim went missing in Ethiopia after deviating from his route. She accuses them of getting involved in his disappearance, as Ethiopia is part of the Soviet empire. She then states that she sent a tape to her lawyer, in which she disclosed the Jennings' real identity, which will be delivered to the Department of Justice if Tim is not found or if anything happens to Alice. Paige (Holly Taylor) believes her parents are involved, even when they claim otherwise. She gets angry when her parents state they would have to leave for Russia if the tape is delivered.
Stan (Noah Emmerich) and Aderholt (Brandon J. Dirden) meet their new boss, Agent Wolfe (Peter Jacobson), immediately taking a dislike to his methods. They later meet with Bill Hanson (Richard Kline), Martha's father, at a bar. Bill refuses to believe his daughter would be a KGB agent, while Aderholt notes she could've hidden her nature. In Thailand, Gaad (Richard Thomas) stays in his hotel room while his wife, Linh (Christine Toy Johnson), goes shopping. The room is invaded by three KGB agents, who want to make a deal with him. Gaad tries to escape, but he accidentally stabs himself with a window's shard of glass. When he dies, the agents are forced to leave. Arkady (Lev Gorn) is informed of this, and he expresses disdain.
During a mission to change tapes, Philip hangs out with Kimmy (Julia Garner), who confesses that her father works at the Central Intelligence Agency. Philip admonishes her for telling him a big secret like that, telling her that she should earn her father's trust. At the church, Alice informs Paige that Tim was found, safe and well. She apologizes for her reaction, asking Paige to tell her parents. Paige discloses it to Philip and Elizabeth, although she didn't ask Alice for the tape. Stan and Aderholt are dismayed upon discovering that Gaad was killed. Elizabeth meets with Gabriel, feeling conflicted over the required mission to get the access code to the lab, as it will ruin Young Hee's family.
