Plot summary
Peus plants bombs across the country and says he will disable them once Samantha and Mellie are back under his control. He detonates one bomb while he is on the phone with Olivia. Olivia and Fitz visit Rowan, who believes that there is no republic, and he wants to run. Ruland offers to tell him everything she knows in exchange for an immunity deal. David delivers the paperwork to her and she reveals her name is really Grace. Olivia and Huck find out that Peus sent Rowan a box every week after Frankie's assassination containing 11-pound bricks.
She tells Fitz, and he goes to talk to Rowan, who is mad that Olivia chose Fitz over him. He explains that a human head weighs 8-11 pounds and every time he opened a box, he feared he would see Olivia's head inside. Rowan meets Samantha and steals a secret service agent's gun so they can run. In a montage, Rowan and Fitz devise a plan so that Samantha will lead them to Peus. Jake finds Peus and shoots him and Rowan stabs Samantha to death with a dinosaur tooth.
