In Episode 2, Rowe asks Jackson to help dispose of Peter's body, which Jackson finds in Rowe's apartment. Jackson admits they were not friends but helps dispose of the body and is paid for his troubles.

Feef continues her spy activities by accessing archives she shouldn't, using her charm and even feigning distress over inappropriate behavior by her male boss to maintain her cover and gain trust, including passing notes to Priscilla and reading a letter from Peter about a dangerous mission.

The letter from Peter, which Feef reads in Episode 2, claims that he is on a dangerous mission, adding intrigue to the plot and suggesting deeper espionage elements.

Rowe is under pressure and ridiculed by higher-ups, threatened with being sent home, and is paranoid, while Feef faces challenges as a woman in the workplace and uses her wits to navigate a male-dominated environment; the Cabinet debates women's roles, and political paranoia increases.

The episode ends with Feef remembering a friend bitten by a snake in Egypt, and the spy asking Rowe about Jarvis, who Rowe says was murdered by the Russians, heightening the tension and mystery.
