Warning: Spoilers
In this episode, the many different plot strands begin to coalesce, and they culminate in a thrilling concluding scene in Egham, England.

The "blue gold" of the episode's title is the precious resource of tantalum ore, and it was also the source of the disappearance of Gloria's husband Sergio. Greer has discovered a link to the Volger corporation in the desire to mine the precious mineral.

Matice is leading the small band to try to recover Uber from the jungle. While Mike November authorizes a rescue mission, the forces loyal to Reyes are tracking the Americans. Who will arrive first to either rescue or murder the band of brothers?

Mike November approaches Ubarri with a deal for asylum in Miami if he will reveal the details about the assassination of Senator Jimmy Moreno and the extent of involvement of Reyes.

Things come to a head in London, as Dr. Jack is hot on the trail of Max Schenkel. Harry avoids deportation to Germany when Max kills the man who was escorting her to the airport. Harry reveals to Dr. Jack that Max has a daughter attending King Edward University. The daughter does not suspect that her father is a killer for hire.

All roads lead to Egham as Dr. Jack holds sweet little Annabelle captive until Max arrives. But Max will not conclusively reveal whether or not Reyes hired him to kill Senator Morena. Max is about to get the drop on Dr. Jack when he is plugged by Harry, who has followed him to Egham. Mad Max the assassin expires, leaving Dr. Jack still uncertain of who ordered the hit on his old buddy Jimmy.
