Willis (Jimmy O. Yang) continues down the rabbit hole looking further into his uncle (Archie Kao) who he now suspects knows something about his brother’s disappearance. Looking to get into his uncle’s office leads to Willis and Lana (Chloe Bennet) attending family dinner as something more than friends and an ill-conceived night out afterwards with Fatty (Ronny Chieng) whose ill-tempered waiting continues to draw in large audiences. The episode is notable for a nice moment between Lana and Lily Wu (Diana Lin), which continues to suggest a personal connection to the case for Lana that hasn’t yet been revealed, and the ripples of Willis’ tampering with the natural order which lead Turner (Sullivan Jones) to question the nature of his reality and his true place in the world.

While suggesting there’s something more keeping Sam (Ben Whishaw) from killing Hector (Luther Ford), who he lets go again, the raid does snag the missing Kai-Ming (Isabella Wei) who sadly can shed no light on who killed her father or Helen’s (Keira Knightley) lover Jason (Andrew Koji). There’s plenty of carnage in the shoot-out, but its the maneuverings and the bits of info that begin to trickle out in the rest of the episode where things start to pick up. Given a new assignment, in getting the CIA Agent (Finn Bennett) out of the American Embassy for Mrs. Reed (Sarah Lancashire), Helen also hopes to get the answers she seeks. However, very little goes according to plan.
