Auggie's technical team concludes that Mossad faked the photo in the intelligence package, and Joan confronts Rivka, who blames the falsified information on Eyal. Annie asks Eyal, and, after she tells him what Rivka said, he admits to it, despite Annie's disbelief. During the Senate hearing, Arthur notices a possible link between the Mossad intelligence and an Israeli agricultural official. Eyal and Annie locate Cole's brother, who tells them that Cole had merely given Megan a plane ticket to meet Khalid but had never kidnapped her. After Cole captures Annie, Eyal kills him. Joan tells Arthur that she intends to take some time off and reprieves Annie from going to the CIA farm. Arthur learns that Henry Wilcox is being given immediate early release from prison and decides to visit him before his release. Auggie is asked to join the next Iraq trip of Operation Proper Exit and gives Annie his old Army blanket before leaving. Eyal meets with Rivka and tells her that he confirmed her story but, because of it, he would quit Mossad after this mission. Megan arrives at Khalid's villa and names Annie Walker as the CIA agent with whom she met.

Annie gets word that Megan has been killed in Luxembourg and impersonates Megan's sister to recover Megan's personal effects. She discovers instead that Khalid has set a trap, and with Auggie off in Iraq (participating in Operation Proper Exit) she must rely on Eyal for an escape plan to Zurich. There she and Eyal resolve to find Khalid together. With some help from Joan, they plan to identify and track a courier taking money to Khalid from his father. They discover the courier is Megan, who is killed immediately after rejecting Annie's help, but the killer leaves the money behind. Annie and Eyal return to their safe house in Zurich, but Khalid's men storm the house. Eyal allows himself to be captured so that Annie can escape. She follows Eyal's tracking device to Amsterdam, where she finds only a hidden cell phone with the tracker attached. Meanwhile, Arthur interviews Henry just before his release, and Henry admits that he was the source behind the Mossad intelligence and claims that the drone strike was a success. Arthur then learns that further Senate hearings into the drone strike have been cancelled.
43	16	"Lady Stardust"	Renny Harlin	Matt Corman & Chris Ord	November 20, 2012	CA316	2.47[55]
The cell phone rings and it is Khalid, who is holding Eyal and offers to release him in exchange for the names of all CIA assets within his father's company. Annie is ready to comply but calls Auggie for advice, leaving a voicemail. Auggie suddenly arrives in Amsterdam and devises a successful plan to free Eyal without giving up the information. As all three are on their way to a waiting ship, Arthur and Joan tell Annie that the Saudi and Dutch governments have agreed to allow Khalid to leave for Saudi Arabia, where he will be untouchable. They tell her exactly when and where he will leave, which Annie interprets as instructions to kill Khalid first. She sneaks away from Auggie and Eyal with a gun, but when she finds Khalid she holds him at gunpoint and gives him information that will set him at deadly odds with his father. Annie and Eyal part on good terms, with Eyal planning to retire to sailing in Greece. Back in Washington, Henry attends the declassification ceremony for Jai and then meets with Annie at the cafe where Jai was killed. He enlists Annie in some unknown project which she agrees to after seeing a secret file. Later, arriving at Annie's house, Auggie kisses Annie.

44	1	"Vamos"	Stephen Kay	Matt Corman & Chris Ord	July 16, 2013	CA401	2.39[60]
Henry's secret file contains evidence that Arthur is covertly sending money to a Colombian "terrorist" named Teo, also known as "the Puma". Annie and Auggie, now lovers, travel to Colombia to investigate. They meet Teo, who helps them when Auggie is shot but then rejects them when someone shoots at him and Annie. On the plane back, Auggie tells Annie that Teo is Arthur's son and they plan to disclose their relationship to Arthur. Arthur tells a woman, involved in the money transfers, that he is breaking off relations. The next day, he announces that he is resigning as DCS (just as Henry had earlier predicted to Annie) because he has had an extramarital affair.
45	2	"Dig For Fire"	Félix Alcalá	Stephen Hootstein	July 23, 2013	CA402	2.67[61]
After a somewhat revealing conversation with Arthur, Annie meets with Henry and then follows him to the offices of an oil company whose operations in Colombia have been a target of Teo's group. Auggie and Annie determine that Seth, Joan's old flame and recovery acquaintance, was part of a phone conversation with Henry and the oil people. Seth is also attempting to romance Joan, who has just learned that she is pregnant. Arthur admits to Annie and Auggie that the alleged affair is a ruse to protect Joan from involvement in Arthur's problems, but Auggie knows more about this than he is yet telling Annie. Annie breaks into Seth's apartment when he is supposed to be on a date with Joan, but Joan decides not to go on the date so Seth returns early and finds her. In the resulting fight Seth falls off a bridge and apparently drowns. Joan confronts Arthur with both her pregnancy and her conclusion that the affair never happened. Annie meets again with Henry, who asks her to return to Colombia and kill Teo before he again attacks "American interests".
46	3	"Into the White"	Stephen Kay	Julia Ruchman	July 30, 2013	CA403	2.29[62]
Arthur tells Annie that he has been running Teo as an unauthorized double agent within the ALC terror organization. Annie agrees to take Teo an "exit package" to help him leave Colombia. Teo refuses it in a brief meeting, but Annie is able to put a tracking device on him. This allows CIA Colombia station chief Calder Michaels (Hill Harper) to organize an assault on an ALC base, capture Teo, and bring him to a black site where he interrogates him about a coming ALC bomb attack. Teo will not talk to Michaels or to Annie and manages to escape, but Annie has determined the target. She finds Teo with a sniper rifle, watching the hotel where an oil company meeting is about to occur. He now claims to be still loyal to the CIA; Annie trusts him enough to let him fire the sniper rifle, killing an ALC operative in an explosive vest. Annie agrees to run him as a mole within the international terror world, and as a show of good faith he gives her the names of two money launderers in Washington. Meanwhile, Auggie tells Joan about Seth's apparent death. Joan cleans Seth's apartment of evidence of the fight with Annie, and also opens Seth's safe to find compromising pictures of a hostile senator, allowing her to win confirmation as the new DCS.
47	4	"Rock A My Soul"	Félix Alcalá	Thania St. John	August 6, 2013	CA404	2.66[63]
Auggie is made Joan's interim replacement as head of DPD, and his first job is to investigate the Chens, the married Chinese couple identified by Teo as terrorist financiers. Annie follows the Chens to a meeting with Henry, who offers them a graceful end to their relationship with him. Henry then meets with Annie, telling her about a gap in Auggie's pre-blindness service record. He also meets with Arthur and vows to destroy Teo in revenge for Jai's death. Auggie meets secretly with Teo, who for some reason is in DC. The Chens prepare to flee; Annie, against Auggie's orders, reveals herself and gets them to a safe house. Seeing that such conflicts are threatening their relationship, Auggie reveals that he was training Teo during that gap, and that bad intel provided by Teo led to the death of another CIA agent, Auggie's lover. The safe house is attacked, the Chens are killed, and their evidence is taken. Auggie is removed from his interim post and Calder Michaels becomes the new head of DPD.
48	5	"Here Comes Your Man"	Sylvain White	Hank Chilton	August 13, 2013	CA405	2.22[64]
Auggie learns that Henry was behind Calder's promotion. Calder sends Annie to Vienna to establish a business relationship with an arms dealer named Stavros, replacing Auggie with himself as her handler and forbidding the two lovers to communicate. Annie proceeds with Calder's plan to buy some missile launchers from Stavros, until she aborts the mission when she finds Calder's proposed "terrorist buyer" to be inadequate. Stavros sends his man to kill her, but she is rescued by Teo, who was notified by Auggie on his secret untraceable phone. Annie offers Teo as a buyer and the deal is concluded, but Teo then kills Stavros and his man, destroys the secret phone, and leaves, possibly with some of the launchers. Annie tells Calder she killed the men in self-defense. Back in Washington, her reunion with Auggie is interrupted by Henry, who requests a meeting to tell Annie that Seth's body has been found.
49	6	"Space (I Believe In)"	Nick Copus	Zak Schwartz	August 20, 2013	CA406	2.46[65]
Joan appoints Annie as CIA liaison to the FBI investigation of Seth's death, in the hope that she can tie Seth to Henry. It is led by Vincent, an FBI man Annie has clashed with in the past. He quickly deduces that Seth was killed in a fight (by an assailant he will soon be able to identify by DNA testing) and that the CIA cleaned his apartment, but Annie is able to steal the flash drive that was in his jacket, replacing it with one prepared by Auggie. Henry offers Annie a full-time job with his new consulting company. He then sets a plan in motion to save Annie from charges: A credit card hit leads Vincent to a drug dealer, who is killed in a fight when Vincent visits his apartment. After a conversation with Henry, Vincent announces that the DNA found on Seth was the drug dealer's, and the case is closed. Henry then meets with Annie and makes his "final offer" of a job. When she refuses, he threatens her and tells her that Auggie's ex-lover Helen is not dead as Auggie had claimed.
50	7	"Crackity Jones"	Emile Levisetti	Tamara Becher-Wilkinson	August 27, 2013	CA407	2.36[66]
Annie recognizes an old photo of Helen (Michelle Ryan) as Teresa, the woman who was delivering Arthur's payments to Teo. Confronted, Arthur explains that Helen's apparent death was an elaborate ruse on her part and that she now works for him on weapons proliferation. Helen visits Auggie and explains that she needed to be independent of him to continue in the CIA. Helen has learned that Stavros' missing launchers were diverted by an Interpol official working with Henry, and she and Annie are sent to Lyon by Arthur to try to buy them back. When Henry shows up there, Helen urges Annie to abort the mission and then rescues her from a setup when she tries to pursue the deal anyway. Barber and another tech decode an image from Seth's flash drive for Auggie, and it shows that Henry was in Colombia with Eduardo, a terrorist linked to Teo. Calder determines that Annie lied about who killed Stavros. When Annie returns to Washington, she and Auggie suspend their romantic relationship.
51	8	"I've Been Waiting for You"	J. Miller Tobin	Julia Ruchman	September 3, 2013	CA408	2.64[67]
Auggie is able to locate Teo in Scotland with his new tracking system. Annie meets with him and convinces him to meet with Arthur in Virginia; they are far from reconciled but agree to work together. Calder asks Joan for permission to investigate Annie, and she responds by transferring Annie to work directly for her. The plan is for Annie to move Eduardo from one CIA prison to another in Indiana, using Joan's authorization, placing Eduardo and Teo together in the back of a van to elicit information. Calder arrives to question Eduardo, just after Annie has left with him and added Teo to the back of the van. Eduardo says that Henry has been funding the ALC for years and arranged the bombing that killed Teo's mother. Suddenly an unknown driver forces the van to crash and begins shooting. Teo and Annie escape separately and Eduardo is apparently killed in an explosion. Annie returns to DC to find her new apartment ransacked by the CIA. She warns Auggie, who is able only to wipe his hard drives before Calder and a large team arrive. They find his safe, containing Seth's real flash drive, and Calder takes Auggie away for questioning.
52	9	"Hang Wire"	Jamie Barber	Stephen Hootstein	September 10, 2013	CA409	2.20[68]
Annie follows Teo to Copenhagen, where Henry is attending a conference, and disrupts Teo's attempt to assassinate him. She is held by Danish authorities and then suddenly released, to be picked up by Henry and shown his full plan for revenge on Arthur. Henry's men have captured Teo and have one of the missing missile launchers; they use it to destroy a helicopter with six aboard (including an American official) in a way that makes it appear that Teo fired it. In DC, Arthur consults a lawyer about his plan to come clean about Teo. She says that he may escape treason charges as long as Teo's terrorist activities have not resulted in the death of any Americans. Calder tells Auggie that he wants to learn the truth from him rather than turn him in for evidence tampering. They return to CIA headquarters where Auggie helps decrypt the flash drive. Calder is surprised to see the photo of Henry and Eduardo, and Auggie and Joan conclude that he is not working for Henry after all. Annie helps Teo escape from Denmark, but he is shot in the thigh. She drives him to a US base in Germany, where Arthur meets them, but the doctors are unable to save Teo. Rather than return to DC, Annie remains in Germany to find out what Henry is doing there.
53	10	"Levitate Me"	Félix Alcalá	Matt Corman & Chris Ord	September 17, 2013	CA410	3.03[69]
In the wake of the missile attack and Teo's death, Arthur is brought back to DC and placed in custody, Joan is relieved of duty as DCS, Annie is a fugitive in Germany, and Calder is sent with a team to bring Annie back. She is able to reach Frankfurt, evade pursuit, and discover that Henry had dinner with a woman there on his way to Copenhagen. But Henry's man kills the head of Calder's team; the CIA believe Annie did it and reclassify her as a rogue, to be met with deadly force. Henry is brought into the CIA building as a consultant at the urging of the senator Joan earlier blackmailed. Auggie attacks him and is led out of the building. Auggie and Joan (the latter in the hospital with preeclampsia) learn that the woman Henry met with was Sana, his ex-wife and Jai's mother. Annie is able to meet with Calder alone on a rooftop and asks for his help. He lets her escape and tells his team and the CIA that she is going to attack a particular floor of a bank. When she does so, he intercepts her elevator and apparently shoots her, telling the CIA she is dead. As she is moved out, Henry's man checks her pulse and believes her dead. She is loaded onto a hearse driven by Eyal, who revives her with an injection, gives her a Mossad file on Sana, and wishes her well as she disappears into the night.
54	11	"Dead"	Christine Moore	Thania St. John	October 17, 2013	CA411	2.05[70]
Annie changes her appearance and travels to Geneva, where she rents an apartment and join's Sana's grief support group. After a few weeks, Sana has befriended her and given her a job with her fiance's consulting firm. But one of that firm's potential clients turns out to be "Goodman", the agent of Henry's who framed Teo for the helicopter attack. He recognizes Annie, but she is able to attack and subdue him before he can text Henry. As she is loading Goodman into the trunk of his car, Sana stops her at gunpoint. Annie at least temporarily convinces Sana to work with her, and they bring Goodman to Annie's apartment. She begins an enhanced interrogation while Goodman mocks her technique. As she is about to escalate to electric shock, Sana interrupts the interrogation and inadvertently allows Goodman to escape, until he is fatally shot in the ensuing fight with Annie. Annie and Sana then clean the apartment and flee. Meanwhile, in Washington, only Calder and Auggie know that Annie is still alive, and they plot to drive a wedge between Henry and the new DCS, Braithwaite. Joan returns to work in an obscure CIA office, and Arthur is released to house arrest to be with her.
55	12	"Something Against You"	Larysa Kondracki	Steve Harper	October 24, 2013	CA412	1.69[71]
Annie and Sana return to Goodman's hotel room where Annie finds a laptop and flash drive in a safe. She cannot break into the laptop without help, but the flash drive contains "evidence" linking Sana's fiance David to the helicopter attack. Without consulting Sana, Annie launches her plot against Henry by planting the evidence on David's computer, whereupon he is taken away for questioning by Interpol. Annie then gets an angry Sana to beg Henry to come to Geneva, where she interrupts their meeting by texting Henry on Goodman's phone. As Goodman, she extorts a large sum of money from Henry, in the hope of identifying his financial network. But just as Henry is about to transfer the money, he learns that Goodman is dead. He finds and confronts Sana (while Annie hides and observes), threatening her and also saying that he will find and kill the "Jessica Matthews" who led her to betray him. Sana then breaks off cooperation with Annie, saying that she has become a monster like Henry. In Washington, Joan notices Auggie talking to Calder in the building (to advance their plot to split Henry and Braithwaite) and she confronts him, but he does not reveal that Annie is alive. Arthur and Joan send Helen to Geneva to find out more about Henry. She visits Auggie before leaving, saying she still loves him. In Geneva, she follows Henry to his last meeting with Sana and afterward observes Annie leaving.
56	13	"No. 13 Baby"	Roger Kumble	Hank Chilton	October 31, 2013	CA413	1.87[72]
Annie and Helen both return to DC, where Annie arranges to meet Calder. Henry asks Calder to find Jessica Matthews, the killer of CIA deep-cover agent Deric Hughes (a/k/a Goodman). Annie finds Hughes' daughter and learns of a cabin in the Virginia woods at a site she knows Henry to have visited; she goes there and takes photos of the interior but cannot get in alone. Calder leads a team to the cabin, but it explodes when they try to enter. From the photos, Auggie and Barber are able to find the key to a book cipher and read an incriminating message from Hughes to Henry on the laptop. Joan and Arthur decide to depose themselves in order to try and reveal the truth about Henry, but Arthur is dismayed when he learns that Joan had authorized Teo's torture in Medellin. Auggie asks Helen to find Annie, who is not yet communicating with him. She tries and fails to tail Calder, but then observes a meeting between Annie and Calder at Annie's gravesite. Annie detects her afterward and they talk. Helen and Auggie have sex, but they both realize that Auggie is still in love with Annie. Annie prepares to go to New York by bus to find Nelson Smith, the man who was going to transfer money to Henry. Henry tracks her to the bus terminal but Helen intercepts him there. He asserts that she is Jessica Matthews; she agrees, whereupon he shoots her. Annie gets off the bus and goes to Auggie's apartment. She knocks on the door, but does not respond when he answers.
57	14	"River Euphrates"	Christopher Gorham	Stephen Hootstein & Julia Ruchman	November 7, 2013	CA414	1.63[73]
Annie comes to Auggie with the news of Helen's murder. Auggie, distraught, asks Eric Barber to monitor Henry's house. Annie tracks down Nelson Smith, who ultimately gains the drop on her and threatens to expose her to Henry, only to have her remind him that Henry will likely have him killed once he's finished his work. Smith gives her 48 hours to stop Henry and informs her that he has been moving his money through a Brooklyn diamond dealer to Hong Kong. Joan is visited by Annie's FBI acquaintance Vincent who tells her Henry has been using CIA funds to finance his activities and laundering them through a diamond dealer in New York. Joan visits the dealership and runs into Annie, who explains to her what she's been doing. Joan calls Calder and asks him to detain Henry. Both Calder and Auggie send in teams to raid Henry's house only to find a decoy. Annie, Auggie, and Calder head to Hong Kong to find Henry once and for all.
58	15	"There Goes My Gun"	Stephen Kay	Tamara Becher-Wilkinson & Zak Schwartz	November 14, 2013	CA415	1.75[74]
In Hong Kong, Annie and Calder track the courier carrying Henry's diamonds but lose him in a crowd just before he passes them off and is then killed by a passing car. Annie goes to the Hong Kong police as a bystander to see their surveillance tapes, and determines that the recipient of the diamond was Oliver Lee, an official of the Chinese Ministry of State Security. They grab Lee and offer to let him keep the diamonds if he helps them catch Henry. Henry foils their attempt to capture him when he meets with Lee, and Annie finally allows herself to be captured in order to give Auggie and Calder time to escape and take Lee to the US in their plane. (Henry is bemused to learn that she is still alive.) Auggie, however, decides at the last minute to remain in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, in DC, Arthur's lawyer Bianca urges him to take a plea bargain, and he determines that she is in league with Henry. When he confronts her at her stables, an assassin arrives and both kills Bianca and stabs Arthur before being killed by Arthur. Arthur is barely able to warn Joan, who kills another assassin sent to their house.
59	16	"Trompe Le Monde"	Stephen Kay	Story by: Matt Corman & Chris Ord Teleplay by: Lynn Renee Maxcy	November 21, 2013	CA416	2.34[75]
Henry takes Annie to his Hong Kong business office. Auggie obtains help at the US consulate, but before his team can assault Henry's office, another strike team does so. Henry escapes in the confusion and takes Annie to a safe house known to the MSS. An MSS agent soon arrives and Henry trades Annie to him for the promise of asylum and protection. He leaves and the agent prepares to interrogate Annie with drugs, but she overpowers him and his companion, extracting at gunpoint the fact that Henry is headed for the train station to escape to Beijing. Auggie creates a traffic jam, forcing Henry to walk where Annie is able to find him in an alley and shoot him. He is presumed dead. In DC, Calder determines that Braithwaite ordered the attack on the office to kill Henry before he could reveal the extent of their cooperation; Braithwaite dies by hanging himself in his office. Calder is made interim DCS and arranges to get Annie out of Hong Kong. On her way out, she talks to Joan and a recovering Arthur, who have just become proud parents of a baby boy.

60	1	"Shady Lane"	Félix Alcalá	Matt Corman & Chris Ord	June 24, 2014	CA501	1.88[79]
Annie has been off the grid for four months since killing Henry; her story of a quiet stay at a beach convinces a polygraph but not Auggie or Calder. Khalid (from season 3) resurfaces in Chicago. He is found and killed but leaves evidence leading to Borz Altan, a Muslim veteran of both the US military and the private security firm of Ryan McQuaid. With a clue given by McQuaid, Annie identifies what appears to be a terror threat against the Chicago Board of Trade but is actually a ruse to get a suicide bomber (Borz' brother) into the CIA's secret Chicago facility, where he kills twelve agents including a close friend of Auggie's. Calder remains as interim DCS, and Joan is placed under him as head of DPD on her return from maternity leave. Annie asks to return to working with Auggie as her handler, but she is concealing a medical condition that causes sudden respiratory attacks. Arthur accepts a job with McQuaid Security. Calder assigns Annie the mission of finding Borz and his backers, who clearly have inside knowledge of CIA operations.
61	2	"False Skorpion"	Stephen Kay	Stephen Hootstein	July 1, 2014	CA502	1.72[80]
Annie follows Borz' trail to Maracaibo and tracks him to a mosque, where she instead finds McQuaid with three men. He proposes that they work together, saying his intention is to capture Borz, interrogate him privately for an hour, then turn him over to the CIA. Annie refuses and is eventually able to locate Borz on her own, but in the ensuing struggle she has another attack and passes out. McQuaid takes and questions Borz and his doctor treats Annie; she tells him she has a heart condition and McQuaid agrees to keep her secret. Now cooperating as he proposed, they prepare to drive Borz over the border into Colombia. Meanwhile, Arthur's first day of work includes a dinner meeting with McQuaid's deputy Caitlyn Cook, and Auggie's debriefing by Hayley Price, a member of the National Counterterrorism Center, leads to a romantic encounter that evening.
62	3	"Unseen Power of the Picket Fence"	Stephen Kay	Tamara Becher-Wilkinson	July 8, 2014	CA503	1.44[81]
When their first attempt to leave Venezuela fails, Annie and McQuaid separate from his men and take Borz to Caracas, where he dies in spite of McQuaid's valiant attempts at medical treatment. Annie gets a chance to question Borz first, and by claiming to be able to help his sister (actually dead by Annie's hand) she learns that he met in Washington with someone called "the Postman". Auggie asks an eccentric ex-CIA operative, Roger Bennett, for help in finding this Postman and Bennett reports some results. Caitlyn arranges for Annie and McQuaid to leave Venezuela, and on their return Annie receives a new handgun as a present from McQuaid. Meanwhile, Hayley disclaims any intention to continue having sex with Auggie, but contrives an excuse to visit him and do so. Calder is frustrated with his new administrative responsibilities, and confides this to the prostitute he is regularly seeing.
63	4	"Silence Kit"	Félix Alcalá	Zak Schwartz	July 15, 2014	CA504	1.52[82]
Auggie learns that the Chicago bombers bought their inside information from an NSA employee named Wilson who lives in Washington. Annie is injured in a car accident and hospitalized, where doctors find evidence of her heart condition. She sets out after Wilson on what she believes will be her last night as a CIA field operative, while Senator Pierson receives an award at a gala party. Annie finally tells Auggie about the heart condition, revealing that she went to Eyal to get it diagnosed without the CIA's knowledge. Annie breaks into the office of Wilson's psychotherapist, learns that he is having an affair, and unsuccessfully attempts to use this information to turn Wilson's wife against him. Returning home in despair, she is attacked by Wilson and kills him with her new gun. Evidence then found at Wilson's house prevents an attack on another CIA facility and suggests that the money for the Chicago information came from someone in Paris. Meanwhile, at the party, Arthur convinces Pierson to give a lucrative contract to McQuaid Security, and Joan discovers Calder's secret relationship and urges him to end it. The next day, Annie discovers that Auggie has altered her medical records, so that they can continue to work together.
64	5	"Elevate Me Later"	Jamie Barber	Karen Campbell	July 22, 2014	CA505	1.70[83]
Auggie and Annie travel to Paris, where Auggie is to get his old hacker friend Natasha (from season 1) to build a software key that will allow them to break into the computer of an ex-FSB man, Ivan Kravec, who is connected to the Chicago bombing. Natasha agrees in return for the FBI dropping the charges that make her unable to travel freely in the US. She builds the key, but the FBI denies Calder's request to clear her. Auggie tells Natasha this against Annie's advice, having vowed to be honest with her. They have sex, and Auggie awakes to find that Annie has stolen the key and used it to complete the mission, drugging Kravec in such a way to make him believe they had a night of rough sex. The bank data from Kravec' computer shows that he paid for the Chicago bombing. Auggie is crushed that Annie betrayed his trust; Annie tells Natasha that she alone was responsible, and Natasha later appears at Auggie's home in DC. Meanwhile, Arthur and Caitlyn visit Iraq and make a sale, and each impresses the other with their bravery when their convoy is attacked.
65	6	"Embassy Row"	Jamie Barber	Henry Alonso Myers	July 29, 2014	CA506	1.66[84]
Annie flies to Paris, where Kravec is planning a big meeting. He invites her to a party at the Russian embassy; Auggie and his techs disable the computer systems so she will not be recognized by fingerprint or face. But Kravec, not fooled by his earlier encounter, forcibly drugs Annie and puts her in a car trunk planning to take her to Moscow. McQuaid, who was attending the same party intending (he says) to buy Russian helicopters for the DIA, follows and rescues her, also wounding and capturing Kravec for interrogation. Asked again by Annie about his private interview with Borz, he says that he has a mole in his company who is selling secrets, but that Borz was no help in his investigation. In DC, Auggie harbors Natasha and plans to break up with Hayley, but the latter's investigation is turning toward Annie and he decides to continue dating her to monitor it. The same investigation turns up a driver's license for Calder's paramour in her apparent real name, Stephanie Banks. Calder confirms his trust in her and is then told that she was just part of a random check of the attendees at gala. Joan asks Auggie for information on Arthur's trip and learns that he was in serious danger in Iraq. She tells Arthur this and they mutually bemoan their situation. Joan then asks Calder to bring Arthur in to Langley as an outside consultant on Russian intelligence.
66	7	"Brink of the Clouds"	Félix Alcalá	Hayley Tyler	August 5, 2014	CA507	1.64[85]
Kravec tells interrogators that he handled the finances of the Chicago bombing for the reclusive terrorist Farouk Al-Tabrizi, who is actually rogue former CIA agent Nathan Mueller, who worked with Auggie before going off the grid several years ago. Kravec sent a courier with cash cards to find him in Azerbaijan, and Annie follows along with McQuaid and two of his men. With the help of a local warlord, they find Mueller's base. Since it is too strong to attack, Calder orders a drone strike to destroy it. Annie and her team are captured and brought inside the base, but are able to escape before the missiles hit. She is grateful to McQuaid, who helped her with another attack during the mission and assures her that she is not in danger of similarly going rogue. In DC, Hayley tells Auggie that she knows about Annie's condition, but he convinces her to at least delay reporting it. Natasha is going out against Auggie's wishes, and observes his date with Hayley by hacking a traffic camera. When he declines to abandon the CIA and run off with her, she leaves, but not before Hayley sees them together. Stephanie is arrested with a Russian client; Calder gets her released and then breaks off with her, but this keeps him away from Langley at a crucial time and earns him a rebuke from Joan. Bennett tells Auggie he has important further information about Mueller.
67	8	"Grounded"	Larysa Kondracki	Hank Chilton	August 12, 2014	CA508	1.62[86]
Hayley reports Annie's heart condition to Calder, who removes Annie from field work, and to her superiors, who become suspicious about the entire CIA investigation of the bombing. Bennett tells Auggie and Annie that Kravec (now back in Russia after a spy trade) lied about Mueller being his backer. For $100K, Bennett says, a source in the Russian embassy will give him files revealing the truth. Annie gets the money from McQuaid, who conceals its destination from Caitlyn, and takes it to Bennett's apartment. There she is disturbed when Bennett lashes out at an unfamiliar man in the hallway. Summoned along with Calder and Joan to a meeting with the deputy Director of National Intelligence, Annie leaves the building to answer a frantic call from Bennett asking her to meet him at a distant train station. McQuaid takes her there in his helicopter, but they find Bennett dead, hit by a car and leaving a briefcase filled with documents about conspiracy theories. Calder is nearly replaced, and Joan suspends Annie from duty. Later she tells Arthur that she is worried that the CIA will find out what happened several years ago in the Balkans. Annie visits McQuaid at his house, and after a pleasant overnight conversation they are interrupted, Annie by a phone call from Auggie (who suspects that Bennett was framed and killed), and McQuaid by a visitor (the dog walker from Bennett's hallway).
68	9	"Spit on a Stranger"	Emile Levisetti	Joseph Sousa	August 19, 2014	CA509	1.63[87]
Having learned with Auggie that the dog walker is a former McQuaid employee, Annie resigns from the CIA and takes up McQuaid's offer of a job. With Auggie's help she is soon able to copy the files on McQuaid's computer, and they find that several former McQuaid employees including Borz are part of an organization called "Flint". McQuaid then tells Annie, before being asked, that Flint does covert operations for the DoD outside of McQuaid's main company. Arthur is able to more or less verify this for Annie, and also provide an address linked to Flint. There Annie finds a deserted factory, and as she begins to investigate a basement she is met by Caitlyn, who says she followed her there to protect the company from her spying. They both go downstairs where they are attacked by two men; Caitlyn kills one and the other escapes. Arthur, Caitlyn, and Annie then examine the basement, find signs of a recent explosion, and conclude that it was used to plan the Chicago bombing. They tell Calder and Joan, who order McQuaid's arrest. That night McQuaid comes to Annie's apartment, tipped off about the manhunt. Held at gunpoint by Annie, he tells her to trust her instincts and either shoot him or let him go. She chooses the latter, and then lies to Auggie about having seen him. Calder learns that Auggie falsified Annie's medical records, but declines to pursue the matter after Auggie and Annie's suspicions are vindicated.
69	10	"Sensitive Euro Man"	Larysa Kondracki	Tamara Becher-Wilkinson	August 26, 2014	CA510	1.79[88]
With Ryan a fugitive, Arthur and Caitlyn attempt to carry out McQuaid Security's last contract, providing security for the signing of a treaty negotiated by US-educated Georgian diplomat Aleksandre Belenko. Caitlyn opens the firm to the CIA's investigation of Ryan, but hides Ryan's personal laptop. Annie meets with Ryan in the National Arboretum, then provides overwatch with a sniper rifle from a distance while Ryan conducts a meet with Caitlyn. She gives him the laptop, in which Ryan discovers a GPS tracking device set to transmit once he turns it on. Ryan and Annie go to the former's well-prepared safe house, where they have sex and then turn on the laptop. Three assassins soon arrive and are easily overpowered. They have brought material which Annie realizes is meant to frame Ryan for a bomb attack on the treaty signing. She tells Auggie to have the hotel evacuated and they both go there. Annie is stopped by Hayley, who tries to arrest Annie by herself despite having been denied the requisite authority to do so. Annie eventually convinces her enough to help stop the motorcade, where one of the cars contains the bomb. Ryan enters the building and confronts Caitlyn, who shoots him. Annie then finds Caitlyn in the parking garage; they fight, but Belenko arrives and shoots Caitlyn dead before Annie can capture her. Belenko returns to Georgia, telling someone on the phone that his plans in Istanbul will continue without Caitlyn's help. Ryan is hospitalized, and Auggie and Hayley agree to a truce as she leaves for a new job. Meanwhile, Calder asks his former paramour for help in getting information from her Russian embassy client, after Joan's embassy asset proves uncooperative.
70	11	"Trigger Cut"	Stephen Kay	Stephen Hootstein	November 6, 2014	CA511	1.22[89]
Arthur learns from Caitlin's diary that she planned to meet someone called "Q" in Istanbul, so Annie leaves Ryan's bedside to go there. She finds one of Belenko's men meeting with a Syrian named Mahmoud Qabbani, an arms dealer wanted dead by Mossad. Annie confronts Qabbani at a bathhouse, but Eyal arrives and kills him just as he was about to tell her what Belenko was buying from him. Eyal reluctantly decides to delay his departure to help her try to figure out and stop whatever Belenko is planning, but they lose sight of the weapons package. She returns to Washington, where Ryan has regained consciousness. Also at the hospital is Auggie, whose old friend Tony appears to have died of alcohol poisoning, after being fired from his State Department job for leaking Belenko's travel plans to help Auggie find him. Calder's paramour Sydney/Stephanie agrees to help the CIA compromise the phone of her Russian embassy client, declining the promised payment after she succeeds and inviting Calder to use her real name.
71	12	"Starlings of the Slipstream"	Christopher Gorham	Karen Campbell	November 13, 2014	CA512	1.13[90]
Auggie is arrested after arguing with the medical examiner about Tony. When Annie bails him out, he tells her that he thinks Belenko is systematically murdering members of his old Army unit -- one was in Chicago and another, Tony, may have been the target of the treaty bombing. Annie breaks into Tony's apartment and finds out that he was killed with a sophisticated synthetic poison. Only a few labs could make it, including one in Essen where Belenko recently visited. Annie flies there and finds a chemist who is being watched by Olga, an experienced FSB assassin whom Annie and Eyal encountered in Istanbul. She rescues the chemist, who tells her that she was Belenko's lover but commits suicide with the same poison before telling her more. Annie is arrested for the crime and taken away by Olga, who claims to be an Interpol agent. After Annie fails to escape, Olga frees her and says that they are on the same side. In DC, Calder asks Stephanie to intensify her contact with the Russian embassy man, who is better connected than they realized. Ryan gives the suspended Auggie a new computer and has one of his men stay with him for protection. Joan is polygraphed by the CIA and asked about the Balkans, but Arthur's contacts tell him this was merely preparation for a job offer to Joan. Two men break into Auggie's apartment, overpower him, and take him away in a car.
72	13	"She Believes"	Christine Moore	Hayley Tyler	November 20, 2014	CA513	1.35[91]
Ryan discovers that Auggie and his bodyguard Pete are missing, and the CIA trace them to Baltimore harbor, where they find Pete dead and determine that Auggie has been taken away on a ship. Olga tells Annie that she is an FSB agent seeking private revenge on Belenko, who killed her husband. She suggests that they cooperate to kill him, but once Annie is aware of Auggie's plight she insists that they capture him instead. They are able to capture and begin torturing him, and learn that Auggie is still alive, but his men follow a tracking device in his mouth and soon free him; Olga is killed. Calder and Joan grab Mashkov, the Russian embassy officer, off the street and threaten to expose him as having given secrets to Sydney unless he gives them all the FSB files on Belenko. They learn that Belenko is not actually from Georgia but from Chechnya, where Auggie's unit once served. Auggie is taken to Chechnya and brought before Belenko, who says Auggie has something he wants. Ryan and Annie leave together to attempt to rescue him, with a promise of the CIA's full backing from Calder and Joan.
73	14	"Transport is Arranged"	Emile Levisetti	Henry Alonso Myers	December 4, 2014	CA514	1.38[92]
In 2005, Auggie's special ops unit participate in a prisoner exchange with Chechen rebels in Grozny which ends in a shootout. Auggie's teammate Jim Deckard, posing as one of the Chechens, kills the Chechen prisoner to save Auggie and then disappears. In the present, Belenko tortures Auggie in the same building, saying that the dead prisoner was his brother, and asking Auggie where Deckard is. Auggie holds out until Belenko also tortures Natasha, whom he grabbed off the street in Budapest. Just as Auggie is about to talk, Annie and Ryan begin their attack on the building. Belenko leaves, securing his escape by claiming to have a deadman switch that will destroy the building. He does destroy the building, but Auggie and Natasha escape. Auggie says that they must find Deckard before Belenko does. Meanwhile, just as Calder calls to postpone his first non-commercial date with Sydney, a man comes to her door and shoots her.
74	15	"Frontwards"	Stephen Kay	Stephen Hootstein	December 11, 2014	CA515	1.31[93]
Auggie, Annie, and Ryan travel to Deckard's last known address in Buenos Aires and find that he is in jail over an unrelated matter. They soon learn that they are being pursued by a squad of special Argentine police, bribed by Belenko and using a tracker that Belenko planted on Auggie. In Washington, Calder beats Mashkov and questions him about the shooting of Sydney (who is alive but not at all well); he blames Belenko and the CIA confirm that Belenko's man Langer did it. Calder joins a team going after Langer, who has been seen in West Virginia. Meeting with an FSB official to apologize for the beating, Joan learns that the FSB now want Belenko dead. She asks Annie to take him alive if possible. Ryan gets arrested in order to break Deckard out of the jail, succeeding just as Belenko arrives. The CIA extract Auggie and Deckard while Annie and Ryan remain and capture Belenko. Fleeing with him through the city, they discover the entire police squad lying in the street, killed execution-style. Belenko interprets this as a message that the FSB indeed want him dead.
75	16	"Gold Soundz"	Stephen Kay	Matt Corman & Chris Ord	December 18, 2014	CA516	1.59[94]
Langer evades Calder's team and travels to DC, where he kills and impersonates a low-level CIA employee and enters the Langley headquarters. Annie and Ryan, with active assistance from Belenko, eventually defeat an elite team of Russian assassins in a gun battle at the La Recoleta Cemetery. During the fight and again afterward, Ryan asks Annie to marry him. Langer locks Auggie and Deckard in an interrogation room and releases a poisonous gas, but Calder rescues them, shooting Langer and thus avenging the attack on Sydney (who is still unconscious). A political operative asks Arthur to run for the U.S. Senate, arranging to declassify the true story of his resignation from the CIA. Joan is placed in charge of a new special task force, and gets permission to reinstate Annie as a CIA agent in spite of her heart condition. Auggie later reveals to Annie that he is leaving the CIA to travel the world with Natasha, who has received full immunity. Auggie helps Annie make an important decision.
