Complete story — includes the ending

The CIA wants American sanctions on Sudan lifted so they can establish a base there; the State Department objects because Sudan's earlier support of terrorism led to the bombing of the US Embassy in Uganda. While examining Sudan's finances to verify that they are no longer supporting terrorism, evidence is found that the al Queda operative behind the Ugandan bombing is still alive and in Sudan. Elizabeth gives the Sudan foreign minister information intended to push the operative to escape to his villa, where CIA agents are waiting to take him into custody. The State Department holds a ceremony, commemorating the loss of lives twenty years earlier in Uganda. At Matt's urging, Daisy adopts Waffles, a beagle who failed bomb-detection training. Jason leads Henry to think that he is breaking up with Piper, but Jason and Piper work things out.
