The FBI find $5,000 under Sekou's mattress, which Sekou claims was loaned to him by his friend Saad for a family trip to Nigeria. Carrie and Max learn that Saad is an FBI informant; Carrie defies a court order and confronts Saad herself, learning he was instructed by the FBI to give Sekou the money despite his belief in Sekou's innocence. Dar reports to President-elect Keane's chief of staff that Iran may be working with North Korea to develop a clandestine nuclear program, and that Israel wants the Americans' help to apprehend Iran's liaison with the North Koreans in Abu Dhabi. Carrie, who is secretly advising Keane, suggests that Saul be the one to represent the U.S. during the mission. Quinn suffers a seizure while shopping; he has Carrie show him the video footage of his exposure to sarin gas, telling her he has no memory of the incident. He asks her why she saved his life; she leaves without answering.
