So there's this Soviet agent who's been infiltrated in the government tech business for years and is currently involved in the Star Wars business that's been hinted at in weeks. Problem is, his wife of 35 years recently died, and a covert visit from Elizabeth (in the guise of a security professional) confirms that he's shaky as hell. He needs his handler bad, but Claudia says that nobody can get out of the Rezidentura because the FBI has this swanky new encryption process that keeps the Soviets from knowing when they're being watched. The agent, Udacha, places an off-limits phone call to his handler at the Rezidentura, who turns out to be Vasily and he's made super nervous by the call, but also moved by the man's plight. This whole episode is about the bonds that form between agent and handler, see.
The FBI got ears on that phone call, so they know a Soviet agent is looking to come in from the cold. Stan once again reaches out to Nina to get information and the vibes between those two got fraught with romantic tension REALLY suddenly. Nina's chosen method to get information out of Vasily is by sucking his dick, which -- sorry, girl. She's not the only one using her feminine wiles, though. Look at Philip, who is romancing Martha, Special Agent John-Boy's assistant, in order to get information on the company that makes the new encryption methods the Feds are using. And then it's Elizabeth's turn, as she sexes up the developer, one Carl Schultz, who turns out to be depraved and violent in the bedroom. Philip sees the welts on Elizabeth's back and decides to play the Avenging Husband, which just pisses Elizabeth right off.
Elizabeth finds out that the encryption devices are in the trunks of agents' cars, so she and Philip arrange this complicated little scam that involves causing a fender-bender, sneaking Elizabeth out of her car's trunk and into the FBI agent's trunk on a parallel rack at the garage (!), and after the agent leaves with his car, she has to saunter out of an FBI parking lot. But she gets the encryption codes! Unfortunately, Nina's on her knees under Vasily's desk when he learns that they got the codes, so she tells Stan, and the Feds are able to change the codes. THIS information gets back to Vasily and he has to make the command decision to risk it and retrieve Udacha or else bail. When he ends up deciding is to send Elizabeth to shoot Udacha in the head at the meeting point, eliminating that loose end before the Feds can get ahold of it. He feels really bad about it, though. The whole ordeal tells the Soviets one thing: there's a mole in their organization.
