Jarod helps out a woman who is being blackmailed into performing an assassination. Miss Parker makes a new friend.
This episode contains examples of:
- Dead Man's Hand: Jarod learns about it in a card game in the opening scene; at the end of the episode, he arranges for the villain to be holding it at the moment he realizes Jarod has outsmarted him.
- I Have Your Wife: Rachel's children have been kidnapped by a rogue CIA agent to secure her co-operation in an assassination.
- The Tape Knew You Would Say That: Jarod's video message to the villain at the end pauses at one point just long enough for the villain's reaction, then continues with a remark that fits what the villain said perfectly and would have been really incongruous if the villain had said almost anything different.
- Unwanted Rescue: At the beginning of the episode, Jarod finds Rachel being menaced by a man in a bus station restroom, and comes to her rescue. She's surprisingly ungrateful at first, which turns out to be because she's afraid the interference will cause the villains to retaliate on her children.
