Philip juggles the many women in his life while Elizabeth takes drastic measures to complete a mission. Stan asserts a plan to save Nina with an unlikely ally.

Philip (as Clark) is with Martha, who wants to adopt a foster child and looking at kids in foster care. Martha tries to talk Philip into it, but he doesn't seem convinced. Elizabeth, meanwhile, visits LIsa in a park and offers her a place to stay with the kids for a while to get a break from her husband Maurice.

Stan confronts Oleg and tells him he thinks the Soviet defector, Zinaida, is actually a spy. He tells Oleg that if he's right, they might be able to use it to get NIna out of prison. Oleg says he knows nothing about her. Stan tells him to find out.

Yousaf says the fundamentalists are taking control in Pakistan. Philip sends Yousaf home, telling him to stay in touch and make peace with the religious fundamentalists back home by pretending to be more religious than he is.

Philip tells Elizabeth about Martha taking him to a foster care place. He says he is thinking about agreeing to taking in a child to keep Martha "on track." Elizabeth asks what Kimberly is like and Philip says, "Young."

At dinner, with Stan visiting, Paige mentions that she needs to buy a dress for her baptism. Philip volunteers to take her, which seems to bother Elizabeth, who suggested she use a dress she already has.

Philip goes to meet Kimmy at a party with high school kids, and points out she claimed to be a college student. He pretends to realize how young she is for the time and said their age difference is too much. He wants to drive her home, but Kimmy gets insistent on hanging out with him alone.

Elizabeth visits Lisa, who is staying in a house Elizabeth claims belongs to her mother, in order to escape her abusive husband. Lisa comments on Elizabeth's new Coach purse. She learns that Lisa has discovered Northrop's plant nearby. She says she plans to put in for a transfer, and that because of her security clearance, she will be at the top of a list when there is an opening.

Oleg visits Tatiana's office and pours drinks for them both. He tells her the rumor that he's going back to Moscow were just that, and that he's staying. He turns the conversation toward Zinaida, the defector, and they discuss how well the Americans are probably taking care of her. He said it gave him an idea about that the Soviets would ever train a spy to pose as a defector. He asks if they have ever done that before. She says defections reflect badly on their homeland, but he points out it's a small price to pay for the kind of access a defector like Zinaida now has, meeting with the CIA, the State Department, maybe the president. She says it sounds crazy, but he should write a memo.

Shopping for a dress, which Paige said she'd buy with her own money, Philip winds up picking out a pricey one and says he'll pay for it.

Stan and Philip hang out and drink, and Stan tells him a woman from EST called the FBI to ask him out on a date. They talk about their kids, but Stan starts talking about how he doesn't "get" his son Matt, whom he describes as a "complete mystery" to him, unlike all the people he has investigated.

Elizabeth walks by the home of a man she's been watching work on his car in his driveway. Under the cover of night, while he's working under the car, Elizabeth quietly walks up and kicks the jack out from under the car, killing the man with the force of the car falling onto him. As the camera pans out, we see a Northrop parking sticker on the front windshield.

Oleg meets Stan and tells him he has no information on Zinaida. Stan tries to convince Oleg that he's genuinely interested in helping and trying to make things right.

Elizabeth meets Lisa at her new place. Lisa tells her there's suddenly been an opening at the Northrop plant closer to her and she got the position. Elizabeth suggests they celebrate at a fancy restaurant and Lisa asks if she won the lottery, what with that and the Coach purse. Elizabeth makes her promise not to tell, but that a man from a consulting firm pays her for info from her tech job, indicating she is interested in him. Lisa advises her to be careful.

Philip meets with Gabriel, who says he understands Philip's conscience kicking in but reminds him that the operation depends on him working Kimmy as a contact.

Philip shows up at Kimmy's house, which is free of her parents as she'd said it would be. She quickly offers to show him her room. Philip whips out high-quality pot -- provided by Gabriel -- and they start to smoke outside. He gets her to start talking about her dad's job at the Department of Agriculture, as she's unaware he actually heads the CIA's Afghan program. She then starts telling him stories about working in the garden with her dad. She then starts to unleash some frustration about how her dad is never around and that she wouldn't be surprised to learn that he had another family somewhere. They eat ice cream and throw popcorn at each other, then end up flipping through channels as Kimmy starts to nod off on the couch. Philip gets up to look for a bathroom, but uses the opportunity to snoop around the house. He finds Kimmy's father's office and takes photos of his coat and briefcase, then measures the case and cuts a sample of the fabric lining. He comes back downstairs and finds Kimmy asleep on the couch, then carries her to her bed. She's nearly asleep, but wakes up just enough to kiss Philip, who then runs out the back door when her father drives up outside.

Philip gets home after midnight and tells Elizabeth about the briefcase, and then he plans to put a bug in next time. He asks her if she ever thinks about how they learned to do what they do -- then he flashes back to memories of being a boy forced to have sex with women, old and young, and a man. He says they were told they had to "make it real" to be believable. He asks Elizabeth if he should sleep with Kimmy, noting that he hasn't yet. She says she doesn't know, then asks him if he has to "make it real" with her, Elizabeth. He says he does "sometimes, but not now." They kiss.
