Plot
In a flashback to 2 years ago, Erik Monks saved the President from an assassination attempt and took a bullet to the shoulder.

In the present, Erik has recovered from his painkiller addiction that he suffered from during recovery from the bullet. Chelsea Arrington barges into his room to search for drugs. Erik assures her that he is clean and offers to mentor her, but Chelsea refuses, as she believes Erik is going the job for the wrong reasons.

Meanwhile, Diane Farr persuades Rose Larkin and Peter Sutherland that she is on their side, and wants to deliver the hard drive to the President. Rose replies that they will keep the drive and finish the work her aunt and uncle started. She mentions she found an address on the hard drive and that she and Peter will follow up on this lead. Diane warns that this is dangerous, but promises to update the President on the situation and buy them time. After Rose asks about Osprey, Diane promises to look into it.

On the drive to the address, Rose asks Peter not to surprise her like that again. She asks about Zadar, the Balkan dissident and PIF leader. Peter is unsure whether Zadar was actually responsible for the metro bombing.

When they arrive at the address, they wonder why an engineering firm would be in the middle of nowhere. They meet a woman named Lorna and pretend to be journalists, but after she fails to believe them, Rose identifies herself and Lorna lets them in.

Lorna used to work with Emma and Henry, and the three of them even grew close. Lorna is saddened to hear of their deaths. They persuade her to assist them since they believe an attack is imminent. Lorna reveals she had been approached by Emma and Henry to obtain blueprints. Since it is her job to gather intelligence rather than evaluate it, Lorna didn't ask why. Lorna offers to explain the other documents Henry and Emma requested.

They drive into town, and Rose is surprised to hear about Emma and Henry’s secret lives. Lorna assures Rose that they had a wonderful life doing meaningful work. Peter asks about Osprey, but Lorna is not familiar with the code name. Lorna asks how Peter and Rose came to know each other, and seems to know Peter's dad, but acts like she doesn't.

In a café, Rose and Lorna go through the documents that she provided to Henry and Emma. While Peter checks the area, Lorna doubts Peter's reliability. They search the files for his name, but there are no results.

Peter discovers that the metro passes directly underneath the café, and it is the area Henry and Emma were looking into. Lorna advises them to investigate the original target the bomb was meant for. As she leaves, she warns them to be careful. She advises Peter to stop worrying about proving his dad's innocence, as it will cause him pain.

At Georgetown University, Maddie Redfield and her professor Paulo B. grow close. He is even doing a painting of her. They kiss, but Paulo pulls back, pretending to be apologetic about being inappropriate, but Maddie says it is fine.

Erik questions Chelsea's approach of being friends with Maddie. Chelsea defends her approach and calls Erik old school. She insists her method works well for Maddie. Chelsea is not happy that her other subordinates are in awe of Erik, as to them, he is a legend for saving the President's life.

Peter receives a call from Cisco Jenkins letting him know the car he asked to be tracked has been found. Peter asks Cisco to wait for him before approaching the house.

They return to Washington, D.C., where Cisco meets Rose. Cisco and Peter search the house, but Ellen and Dale had already left after getting an order to kill Lorna. Although Lorna fought hard and refused to talk, they kill her and bury her in the woods.

Peter and Rose check into a motel. Rose digs into the files to find out why someone in the White House was involved in the metro bombing. After dinner, Peter reveals to having a hard time after the bombing, which led to his break-up with his ex-fiancée Zoe.

The next morning, Peter calls Diane, who tells him there was spyware on her phone. She orders him to switch burners.

Peter tells Diane his theory about the bomb missing its intended target. He is sure that an attack is scheduled to happen in five days. Diane asks him to come in at the end of the day, so they can share everything they have with the FBI.

Maddie has a class alone with her professor, Paulo. They start kissing and Paulo says they should keep a low profile. He pretends to care about her. Maddie suggests ditching the agents and meeting him at his house. Chelsea doesn't notice this, as she is focused on Erik.

After Dale completes his order to kill Lorna, he updates Gordon Wick, to relays the information to Vice President Ashley Redfield. Ashley goes to Maddie's dorm room and lectures her about what happened at the bar.

At the motel, Rose finds CCTV footage from the metro bombing. Peter recognizes Chelsea, who was sitting in the café. She seems to have been working, but they can't tell who she was protecting. Peter worries that this is no longer a terror attack, but an assassination attempt.
