Alex has been set up as prime suspect for his FBI lover's murder, false evidence planted in his computer convinces Sam. FBI counterespionage champion Jason Faber is brought in, who helps Alex escape arrest, only to realize he has been caught instead by the Russian mole, who brings in torture expert Timur for electric shocks and injections. While Viktor can't even try like Natalie to enjoy their secluded wood cabin time alone, Mark stops Katya from blindly attacking Sam's party who call on them on the search for Alex and manages to bug Faber. Even under truth serum, Alex is brilliant enough to think up a desperate way out and betray only Viktor, whom the Russians are already chasing anyway, until the parental cavalry shoots its way in.
