Complete story — includes the ending

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.
