At that point, you knew what was ultimately going to happen.

The fact that they kept flashing to the security guards around the conference only made things more intense.

Lets start from the beginning though, shall we?

Theres so much happening this episode it was hard to keep track of all the sub-plots.

The episode opens outside of Tiraspol, Moldova where two men in a truck are stopped and attacked.

We learn quite soon into the episode that the truck was full of Uranium.

Bess gets the go ahead to put the States International Security and Nonproliferation Bureau on the job.

Her inquiry is met with backlash because no one thinks the heist is really that big of a deal.

Boy, how wrong they were on that one!

Luckily, Bess is smarter than everyone else.

Speaking of everyone else, the new CIA director, Dennis Ellerman, kind of sucks.

He just might be the new Craig Sterling.

Also every time they assume something isnt a big deal, its always the opposite.

Next we meet Walter Nowack from the ISN bureau.

He and Jay are tasked with the Uranium heist.

Shes a hero, but Saudi Arabia is not impressed.

Obviously, shes upset, but would rather not attend than un-invite Noura.

The entire McCord family is going to the event, which we all know doesnt turn out well.

Now for the third problem this episode.

Two teen girls from Ohio ran away to join the terrorist group Hizb al-Shahid in Libya.

Instead the Saudi Arabian government stopped them and has been holding them.

The SA government claims Hizbul Shahid was using the girls to plan a terrorist attack against Saudi Arabia.

Are you with me still?

Sidenote: This is the first time we are meeting Marguerite Sanchez, and I think Im a fan.

Bess needs some close friends, especially after losing her two friends last season.

NEXT: Full circle

Bess confronts Saudi Arabias Prince Asim.

After that meeting, Saudi Arabia handed back the girls.

As it turned out, the terrorist group was planning an attack on Saudi Arabia.

Now about that Uranium.

But the blueprints they had of the warehouse were wrong and their cover is blown.

Just like that all of the pieces clicked.

Bess immediately tries to shut down the conference, but doesnt get everyone out in time.

An American girl runs in and detonates herself, blowing up everyone around her.

The kids got out, but Henry being the hero he is, went back in to help.

I have a strong suspicion they would never ever kill Henry off, but Im still worried about him.

We also dont know if Noura is okay, and how the Uranium got from Moldova to America.
