* GratuitousGerman: Justified, as the episode takes place in WWII. Wernher von Braun is german, and Wyatt got a decent vocal coach to speak the language back when he was in the army. Those characters who aren't native speakers (like Ian Fleming and Wyatt) get their heavy accents lampshaded regardless.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: After recognizing that Wyatt and Lucy aren't real Germans, Ian Fleming pulls them away from the tavern full of German officers and begins berating them for sloppy infiltration. "I swear, you Americans! You couldn't stand out more if you tried!" Cue Rufus coming in with a gun, pointing it at Fleming, who, upon seeing a black man in Nazi Germany, just mutters, "I stand corrected."
* JustFollowingOrders: Von Braun says this when Fleming almost shoots him for sending the V-2 rockets down on London.

* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: Subverted as usual; Wyatt openly points out how much Rufus is going to stand out in 1944 Germany. When Ian Fleming points out the same, Rufus covers by saying he's a Tuskegee Airman.
* ShoutOut: Given the team work with Ian Fleming, there are surprisingly few references to Franchise/JamesBond. We get a nod to Skyfall with "Priest Holes", as well as a quip from Ian about Film/NeverSayNeverAgain when meeting Lucy again, but that's about it.

The team follows Flynn to Nazi Germany in December of 1944, where Wernher von Braun is demonstrating the launch of one of his V2 rockets. They initially believe that Flynn intends to give the atomic core he retrieved in the previous episode to the Nazis, so they can build a nuclear bomb and win the war. Upon arriving, they are quickly discovered by a British spy named Creator/IanFleming. They pretend to be his American colleagues. At Castle Valar, where many important Nazis are having a party, Lucy meets Flynn and realizes that his true plan is to hand von Braun over to the Soviets, so that they can win the space race and, possibly the Cold War. With Fleming's help, the team manages to retrieve von Braun and flee the castle through a secret passage. Fleming agrees to hand von Braun over to the Americans, and the team returns home. They learn that their adventure inspired Fleming to write another Franchise/JamesBond novel, which was later turned into the best Bond film ever. Rufus and Mason theorize that Anthony plans to use the atomic core to build a battery for the Mothership, so that it never needs to recharge. This is shown to be correct. Rufus tells Mason he refuses to spy on Lucy and Wyatt anymore, but then a man from Rittenhouse threatens Rufus's family on the way home.
