3. I'd Prefer My Old Office

Complete story — includes the ending

Ellen sets herself up at Hewes & Associates and files her case against High Star. Chris provides testimony from Afghanistan via video link, but, after being threatened by Anthony Carter, he reverses his testimony. During the deposition, he sends Ellen a coded message that leads her to a friend of his, a vet who may know more than she thinks she does about the final High Star mission. Meanwhile, Boorman deals with a mysterious detainee in his safe house, presumably the terror suspect who was abducted during the October mission that went wrong. Leaving a sick Catherine with Ellen, Patty departs for Boston with Huntely, who has managed to close in on Michael's possible whereabouts. Their attempts prove unsuccessful, and Patty returns to New York, where Ellen confides in her that she is in over her head with the High Star case and needs Patty's personal help. Unbeknownst to Patty, Michael has returned and is watching her. Three days later, a Muslim man is shown handling a carefully wrapped package and has a map targeting Hewes & Associates. An alternate timeline reveals what happened to Michael after he caused Patty's car accident. He steals a car from his friend and heads to Boston, hoping to stay with a longtime friend, Henry, in his dorm. After being rejected, he spends some time as a homeless man before giving his car to a drug dealer in order to take over his territory on the Boston nightclub scene.
