John Weir navigates the twisting, turning universe of deception as both a victim and master. But after what appears to be another successful day on the job, his world is blown to pieces.

Triggered by the suicide of his old friend Valence and framed for the murder of Edward Homm, Weir frantically tries to piece together what went wrong the day before. The mysterious Hailey is sucked further into Weir's world as he tries to determine whether she played a role.

In an episode that jumps between past and present, Weir's traumatic history is brought to light, along with the origin of his friendship with Valence and their career in corporate espionage. In the present, Weir and Hailey's tenuous relationship begins to thaw—but does her story add up? Not according to the newly resurfaced operative, Dr. Ben Wilson.

Armed with the data stolen from Arda, Weir is in go-mode to unveil the truth behind Valence's shocking death and enlists Hailey’s help to exploit a member of Crowley’s network. Meanwhile, US Treasury investigator Edward Homm may finally be ready to cooperate and help find Crowley. Liv, Weir's ex-wife, is dragged back into his world of secrets, and we see a new side of The Intern, the only member of Weir's original team spared in the explosion.

As Weir struggles to cope with the loss of his team, his relationship with Ben falls prey to Weir's paranoia and mistrust. After connecting the dots between Senator Nora Evers and Crowley, Weir and his team make a plan to finally reach Crowley by staging a heist at maximum security facility. Meanwhile, a distraught Intern enlists Eliza for help.

Weir and his team are in desperate straits. With the Shared Data Act about to pass, Weir's paranoia about Ben and anxiety over Crowley begin to get the better of him as he tries not to disappear down a rabbit hole of possibilities. Hailey watches with mounting concern while Homm's celebrity grows on Morgan Shaw's podcast. Agent Madi receives a mysterious note, and Liv gets a delivery.

Weir is forced to play his final ace when Crowley's nefarious psyop to win support of the Shared Data Act and hijack democracy succeeds. But Crowley's counter puts both Liv and Ben in mortal danger.
