Plot[]
At court, Max Meladze taunts Kelly Kwitny, the distraught daughter of the man she murdered.
While in prison, Max needs to buy a phone, and is directed to Cora, an old friend. Several years prior, Max let Cora stay at her place for a few weeks, and instructed her to hide inside the house, not to order food or invite anyone over. When Max discovered that Cora invited a man over, she kicked the two of them out. Cora ended up being badly beaten up by the man. Later, Max confronts the man about beating up Cora. He did not see anything wrong with his actions, and Max proceeded to beat him to death with a tire iron. She took his bag of cash and left.
Walter Nyland instructs Owen Hendricks to help Lester Kitchens with one of his cases, which involves traveling to Lebanon. In Lebanon, Owen and Lester meet with Lester's former colleague, Dave. He refuses to pay his ex-wife child support, causing his wife to threaten to reveal CIA secrets that Dave told her. Owen and Lester give Dave a contract agreeing to let the agency deduct his pay to pay his wife child support. Dave initially refuses, but after Owen and Lester convince him his life will be over if his ex-wife were to leak state secrets that he told her, he reluctantly signs the contract.
After wards, Owen and Lester drink in a bar. Lester tells Owen how he met Violet at an army base in Germany, and that she helped him with law school online. Lester doubts Owen's abilities and calls him lucky, but Owen claims that he is simply good at his job and that if Lester knew about his life, he wouldn't call him lucky.
Max calls the bakery that Xander Goi visits every day to get his full name. She sends him a special order, containing a threatening note.
Back in Washington, D.C, the Attorney General shows up after Owen sends him a priority email. Owen persuades him to set Max free.
