The team investigates an American journalist's death by poison after his attempt to meet with an anonymous source in Poland. Also, Kellett takes Forrester to task for being overprotective with her during the mission.
Tropes:
- Bittersweet Ending: The Fly Team and the Polish SPAP were able to protect an American journalist's local asset from being harmed by Russian-backed assassins. While the journalist's widow wanted to call out the FSB for tolerating it, she was told that doing so will force them to hunt down for other investigative journalists covering anything that Moscow may be afraid to let the world know. And considering the things that FSB have been controversial about lately.note
- Fast-Killing Radiation: Russian assassins are using a new unidentified radioactive isotope to kill targets which is Hand Waved as being much deadlier than Polonium but with a much shorter half-life. Simply breathing it in is enough to kill a journalist and an unlucky housekeeper in a manner of minutes, and at the climax when Agent Kellett manages to inject the assassin via Impromptu Tracheotomy whilst he's trying to kill her with it, the man drops dead in mere seconds.
- Fat Bastard/Lean and Mean: The two Russian assassins.
- Myth Arc: One is being formed when Scott's mother is being brought up that she was last seen hiding somewhere in Moscow.
