Plot

Thompson and Sousa visit Stark's butler

Carter and Jarvis then return to Stark's house, and search his vault, which had contained dangerous weapons that had been stolen by Brannis (Stark is deemed a traitor due to the fact that he could easily have sold the weapons on the black market himself). While following the sewer system below Stark's house, Carter broaches the subject of Jarvis's past with him, as she needs to be able to trust him if they are to work together. Jarvis explains that he had met Anna, who is Jewish, in Budapest whilst serving, and as War was breaking out, Jarvis's superior refused to save her from persecution. Jarvis forged the general's signature in an attempt to save her himself, but was caught, and the two only escaped to live happy lives in America with the help of Stark. At the end of the sewer pipe, the two find a ship in which Brannis had stored all of Stark's inventions. Jarvis anonymously tips off the SSR to their location, while Carter fights off an associate of Brannis' who was guarding the weapons. Using one of the weapons, Carter is able to subdue the man, but they are forced to leave him, a witness, there when the SSR promptly arrives.

Dooley orders the weapons and the man all transported back to the SSR immediately, with Krzeminski taking the man. As they are driving, the man is about to break Carter's cover to Krzeminski, when they are attacked by an unknown assailant, who kills them both. The entire SSR office mourns Krzeminski's death, even Carter, who he had never treated well at all. Dooley explains that even though Stark may have not pulled the trigger, this was all his fault, and Krzeminski would still be alive if it wasn't for his actions.

In the Griffith Hotel (based on the Barbizon Hotel for Women) where Carter now lives, the women have high expectations, including having to wear appropriate attire – series costume designer Giovanna Ottobre-Melton noted that "No one shows up in P.J.s or curlers in the dining room". When Carter and Jarvis investigate in a sewer, she wears a "fashionable yet very practical jumpsuit" consisting of "her brown wool plaid high-waisted check pants, previously seen in the premiere ... with a matching plaid shirt, belt, and brown brogue style boots", while he wears "fisher stripe belted coveralls" over his suit. Both of these outfits were custom made for the series. For the introduction of Dottie Underwood, "fresh from Iowa", Regan wears "a vintage burgundy hand-knit sweater, sage green blouse, dark green A-line skirt, and green suede pumps."^[4]
