Posing as CIA security officials, they ask about [[Recap/TheAmericansS2E1Comrades Emmett and Leanne]], and Larrick denies killing them, though he admits he wished he did. Elizabeth and Philip tell Claudia they believe Larrick, and will wait until they get the information about him and the operation he's involved in (Marital Eagle, which involves training Nicaraguan contras) before they take him out.

Elizabeth gets [[Recap/TheAmericansS2E2Cardinal Lucia, the Central American agent she had helped, to distract the Congressman's aide she had been with]] so Elizabeth can sneak into the Congressman's office. Once the job is done, Elizabeth tells Lucia she needs to "tie up loose ends", and so Lucia arranges for the aide to overdose again and kill himself.
