S01E14 The Short Tail Spy
Episode Overview
A defector finds himself in the crosshairs of two competing factions from his homeland. The team devises a plan to undermine the younger faction, making it easier for the U.S. to deal with the established group. The IMF orchestrates a scenario where the younger group's assassin, Fetyukov, must charm Cinnamon to reach the defector. As their risky romantic dance unfolds, Dan persuades the older group's assassin, Shtemenko, that Fetyukov has sold him out to the Americans. They capture evidence of Shtemenko attempting to kill the defector and use it to further convince him of Fetyukov's betrayal. Cinnamon then "rescues" Fetyukov, leading him to believe she wants to defect, while she races to thwart his attempt on the defector's life.
