It's 5PM in FBI HQ and Agent Mole-Bag is sitting around being his usual suspicious, mole-y self and glaring at Larry Moss and Chloe in the conference room. After the last notes of the opening overture, his little work fling Erika DeadSlut comes up to his desk. DeadSlut is waving a printout of the requests for warrants that sidelined Jack and Renee at the end of last hour. She found a footprint on one of the servers that showed the warrants originated at D-Bag's desk and wants to know WTF is going on! Sean pulls her aside and says "Keep your voice down! Do you want US to get caught!?" Wh-what!? It's a double mole operation, it seems...so that blind little critter from last week was right! Sean and his little DeadSlut were in cahoots! He owns up to sending the warrants and catches DeadSlut up on the Marika tracking business. He's hoping the operation will be sidelined until Dubaku is long gone. She's all nervous and wants to know why he didn't tell her sooner. He goes into Misogynist-mode and tells her "because I knew you'd react like this." He gives her a soothing green tea Vitamin Water, an emergency hysterectomy, and mentions that he was the one that recruited her into this terrorism business, and that he's taking responsibility for getting both of them out. He escorts her back to her desk, tells her to sit there calmly like a good little girl, and he'll keep an eye on Larry and Chloe...mm'kay?

Out on the streets of DC, Jack is bent over the hood of a police cruiser fruitlessly trying to tell the cops who he is and what they are doing. In split-screen, we see Renee doing the same. They are tossed together into the back seat of a cruiser, and Renee immediately starts harping on Jack for letting Marika get involved. She promised sister Rosa that she would protect lil' Marika, and now Dubaku's probably going to kill her! Jack says that they "didn't have a choice", for about the infidazillionth time this season. It's official: "We didn't have a choice" is the new "We're running out of time!" Jack punctuates his point by stating that Marika was their best "asset", which really upsets Renee. She notes that Marika is a human being, not an asset. Jack doesn't have a good comeback for this, so the two of them stare intensely off into space...while the opening chords of 'Let's Call the Whole Thing Off' begin to play.

Speaking of that little piece of asset, she's still en route to her date with danger! Her car pulls into the alley where Sambaku awaits her. She tries to greet him warmly, but he gets aggro, grabs her arm, and pulls her from the car. He demands her cell phone, and she does her best to play dumb. He tells her he knows she was working with the FBI, takes the phone from her, and smashes it on the ground! Marika, realizing the jig is up, attempts to flee, but he grabs her and shoves her up against a dumpster. He demands to know how she could betray him like that, and she confesses that the FBI told her who he really is and what he is responsible for. He claims these are "lies" created by his enemies, and that he is actually a hero in Sangala. She starts to cry, and his tone softens (awww), he tells her not to be afraid, that he still loves her, is a forgiving man, and still wants her to come with him. She protests that she can't go with him because she doesn't know who he is! He says "You do...if you look past your fear, I'm still the man you fell in love with." He performs a piece, set to the tune of Mariah Carey's 'Hero', that totally does the trick. Marika, crying, has no other choice but to go with him.
