Amita tells the team that they need Augie to help them with Zal's files. At the prison, the Marshals tell Augie his release papers come through. Augie is surprised the FBI is not there to pick him up, but is fine with leaving without them. The team figure that Augie used his cell phone to release himself. Nikki says Augie wants to be a rock star hacker. Don suspects Nikki has a soft spot for him. Don tells Nikki that Augie has an aunt named Rose Harris. He informs her that the NSA wants Augie to work for them.

As they drive to Rose's house, David realizes that Nikki likes Augie. Back at the FBI building, they wonder if Augie and Zal are going to meet through internet relay chat. Amita compares the online conversation to when two ships briefly meet at a shipping channel. She explains they have to be there at the exact moment to see what is going on. Amita sets up an program to alert them when they connect. At Rose's house, David and Nikki learn that Augie was there briefly. She says Augie said he had to take care of something.

Amita is alerted of Zal and Augie communications. They see Augie taunting Zal. They they figure that Augie is back at the hotel. Later, they see that Zal is sending Augie a photo of Rose with a gun to her head. David and Nikki turn around and head back to Rose's. Augie goes to his aunt's house and looks for Zal. He discovers his Aunt's dead body on the bedroom ground. Zal and another man enter the house.

David and Nikki vest up and head towards the house. The gunmen find Augie hanging from the window, shoot, but miss. David trains his gun at Zal, but Zal fires as he runs. On the beach, Nikki shoots at the other gunmen and hits him in the neck and chest. After Zal tries to escape, David pins Zal down and handcuffs him. Back on the beach, Zal is freaked since the men killed his aunt.

Don shows Alan a new motorcycle he bought. He asks him to drive his car home from him. Back at the house, Amita informs Charlie that Augie is going to work for the NSA. Amita says Kathie sent over a package. Alan comes in and sees the package contains a doll of Amita's online avatar. They read the message and see that Kathie has invited Amita to go wine tasting in the Sonoma Valley.
