Complete story — includes the ending

Amid concern over possible violence at an upcoming memorial for victims of the Lucasville massacre organized by people from there, Keane urges the wives of slain FBI agents to attend it. The event ultimately proceeds without incident after Mrs. Elkins welcomes the three women to the service. The result is a public relations victory for Keane. Saul visits Ivan Krupin in witness protection and presents his theory that Russian operative Yevgeny Gromov was responsible for the fake news story that sparked the Lucasville shootout, but Krupin says it is doubtful. Carrie assembles a team of former CIA colleagues, along with Dante and Max, to try to connect Wellington to McClendon's murder. Three team members, posing as the prison guards who received the payoff, force Simone to confirm that the $50,000 was a payment for the murder and demand that she get them an additional $100,000. Carrie expects that Simone will report this to Wellington, her presumed handler, but when she immediately goes to see him she says nothing about it.
