Elizabeth reaches out to a {{Mole}} who is in a company working on behalf of the Defense Department, and who Vasili has been running. When the man, panicked, calls the Rezidentura, and the FBI are able to record it, they follow Vasili when he does set up a meeting. Also, thanks to Nina, they're tipped off to the fact the Soviets (thanks to Elizabeth and Philip) know their automobile codes.
Elizabeth also seduces the head of a computer company to get those codes, but it turns out the man [[BondageIsBad likes to beat women with his belt during sex]], which [[BerserkButton angers Philip]], but she refuses to let Philip do anything about it.
!!This episode contains examples of:
* BoomHeadshot: How Elizabeth kills Vasili's contact, to keep him from inadvertently exposing Vasili.
* SadisticChoice: If Vasili goes to the meet, it exposes both him and his contact, but if he doesn't go to meet, the contact, who's emotionally fragile, may do something drastic like confess or kill himself. Vasili decides to TakeAThirdOption (see BoomHeadshot above).
* SleepingWithTheBoss: What Nina ends up doing with Vasili to get information from him. When she tells Stan this, he's stunned and crushed, telling her he never wanted to do that.
