Carrie returns to the embassy to find everything packed up and gone, well, except for Carrie’s team that she needs to still find Quinn, which includes Max who helps her in getting back the systems needed to find him. Carrie tells the remaining team that they need to all go back safely home and that includes Peter Quinn who they need to stop before he kills himself looking for Haqqani. Max argues letting Quinn do his mission and they should all just support him but Carrie turns him down. Next, Quinn is shown entering a gated compound into an apartment of a German girl who seemed to be a rather close friend of his. The girl tells her that he is now on the wanted list but Quinn refuses to stand down and seeks her help instead on the phones he found on Haqqani’s men.
While Max heads off someplace to a hidden safe, Carrie catches him with some cash and a passport that are obviously intended for Quinn. Max is angry with Carrie for letting Fara die and now wants Carrie to commit to kill Haqqani as it would in some way avenge Fara’s death. But Carrie insists that she can’t do that...she can’t bear to lose anyone else. Carrie manages to track down Quinn (maybe Max squealed) and heads over to the unknown woman’s apartment where Quinn was currently taking a shower. The woman finds Carrie at her door but she reveals that she hasn’t heard from him in many months. Carrie leaves her contact number but she knows that he is there. The German girl found the information he was looking for and sets out to find the location of the phones.
He asks to borrow the German girl’s car and on his way there, he finds Carrie waiting for him. Carrie tries her best to dissuade Quinn telling him it was a suicide mission and that there was a shoot to kill order on his head. But Quinn refuses to heed Carrie and just return home as he knew it was Carrie who convinced him to go to Islamabad and then he saw the entire station almost wiped out. Quinn proceeds to disarm and fire at the two men Carrie had with her and even chokes Carrie to back off then leaves. Quinn proceeds to stakeout Haqqani’s location, studying how best to enter the place. He photographs the ground area and the returns to the German girl’s apartment.
Back at the embassy, Carrie receives an emergency call from her sister and when she calls her back she finds out that their father died last night, in his sleep. Carrie remains unable to show emotion, as always and hangs up on her sister and tells her she will just call back. Carrie goes to the control room and Max tells her he was sorry, at first Carrie tried to act cool and tells him to find out what he can on the German woman that Quinn visited then suddenly she breaks down and Max goes over to give her a hug. Quinn is next shown back at the German girl’s apartment, making a bomb. The German girl arrives home to tell Quinn that Carrie called probably to share the sad news about her dad but Quinn chose to believe that she just wants to dissuade him on his plans.
The next day, at the embassy, Carrie gets a call from Lockhart and he offered his condolences on her father’s death. He also asked about what more had been happening out there in Pakistan since he heard that the White House had been shopping for his replacement and so he was more or less out of the loop. But Carrie tells him she had not heard anything but will do so when she does. Then, Aayan’s girlfriend is shown and she receives photographs of Aayan’s death in her mailbox. It was apparently from Quinn who meets up with her in an empty hospital room. At first she refuses to believe that Aayan is dead but Quinn convinces her that they need to help each other in order to get the bad guy that killed Quinn, his uncle Haqqani.
Carrie visits Quinn’s German friend again and it’s clear that Carrie did her research this time and berates her for helping Quinn. The woman agrees to talk with Carrie and Carrie appeals to her to help stop Quinn as this clearly is a suicide mission. She tried to ask how he intends to kill Haqqani but the German girl lied and said she did not know. Then a knock on the door signalled the arrival of one of Carrie’s men who had done a sweep of the German girl’s car that revealed a glove clueing in Carrie on the fact that Quinn was making a bomb for a possible suicide mission. Quinn is shown next still making the bomb in an undisclosed place and placing it inside a steel tube. Then he gets up to leave and attaches a huge picture of a smiling Aayan to the steel tube.
Carrie then gets a call from Max informing her that drone videos of Aayan’s death had been leaked to the internet. Max tracks the leak to the medical school that Aayan went to and Carrie realizes that this is all of Quinn’s doing, to flush Haqqani out because he can’t get inside. Then they see a flash message calling for support for Aayan thru a demonstration and Carrie immediately proceeds to the area as she knows that this protest was also orchestrated by Quinn for Aayan to get to Haqqani. Aasar Khan and Tasneem meanwhile make plans to move Haqqani to a safer area and keep watch on the demonstration. Tasneem calls Aasar Khan aside after the meeting with military personnel to hold him personally responsible if something bad happens to Haqqani.
At the demonstration, Aayan’s friends start swelling up the streets with protesters and Quinn is there holding his Aayan placard (with the bomb). He cuts through the crowd and throws his bomb underneath the grate outside Haqqani’s place. He covers the grate with Aayan’s image and then tells Kiran that she should already leave. Carrie meanwhile joins the crowd of protesters in search of Quinn not knowing that he just left. She sees Aasar Khan and hides behind a poster so he would not see her. Quinn then relocates to a safer place and watches Haqqani’s men as they make plans to move him out. Quinn sees Carrie and calls her to get out but Carrie knows that she must not let him set the bomb off for they’ll know it was Quinn and it would lead to his death.
Quinn sees Haqqani’s vehicle coming out of the compound but had no choice to let his plan go to waste. Carrie sees Haqqani come out the roof of the vehicle and she was overcome with rage seeing him waving there and so she moves to shoot him. But just as she was about to pull the trigger, Aasar Khan grabs her from behind and yanks her arm shouting at her not to shoot Haqqani not because he doesn’t want him dead but because of the man inside the van with Haqqani – Dar Adal, the CIA black ops director. OMG...WTF is he doing there???
