A life is spared, another is taken as a spy is nearly exposed.
This is the story of how a bottle of orange soda redeems a traitor.
By the end of the episode, that title will have disturbing significance.

Her young son, Pablo, saw something: a man in the woods burying a tin box.
He also has the tin box, which has code written on the inside of a Hersheys bar wrapper.
He seeks Dr. Theodore Sinclair (Corey Allen), the only black scientist at Los Alamos.
At first, it seems like a case of racial profiling and it is, sort of.
Darrow wants Sinclair to help him crack the code.
Since Sinclair is the only black man on the project, Darrow can be sure hes not the spy.
Newlyweds Fritz (Michael Chernus) and Jeannie (Lauren Myers) are already thinking of having children.
She wants to do it, but he doesnt.
Hes afraid to tell her that he was contaminated with radiation on a long-ago experiment.
Since the effects arent known, he thinks it could lead to birth defects.
Pablo is with security, checking faces at the gate of the facility.
Its only a matter of time before he is exposed.
Meeks doesnt want to leave.
If I disappear, Im going to look guilty.
You are guilty, she tells him.
But Meeks cant walk away from his life.
Then security puts the Hill on lockdown, and he cant get out.
That leads Nora to devise a more gruesome solution.
Sinclair has found a clue.
Shes a famous warrior, and she watches over the Womens Army Corps.
As long as I wear this, no one can hurt me.
That makes him feel a little better.
NEXT: Is Meeks willing to kill a 10-year-old boy?
Absolutely not, Meeks says.
Ill turn myself in before I let you take care of a 10-year-old boy.
How many 10-year-olds do you think are in Tokyo?
who pays a visit to the boys mother, trying to indirectly scare her.
She sees through the ruse pretty fast, and he has to get rough and make the threat clear.
The next day, the boy doesnt remember anything.
Later, he nods when Darrow shows him a suspect drawing (which we dont get to see).
She believes thats what caused her to lose her child.
Darrows response to this is curious.
He seems almost amused.
There are other paths to redemption.
While at the home, Jeannie finds something in the yard.
The pitch pipe that Meeks was using to rehearse for the play.
It also happens to be opening night, with Fritz front and center for the show.
Jeannie cant sit still forThe Mikado.
The possibility of what she has discovered is eating at her.
During intermission, she confronts Meeks.
That messes with Jeannies head, tangles up her resolve to expose him.
She thinks hes lying but doesnt know.
As she runs off into the night, Nora emerges from the shadows.
She tells Meeks to get back inside.
Act 2 is starting.
She promises to take care of Jeannie.
Meeks asks, What are you going to do?
but doesnt wait for an answer.
As Meeks takes the stage, Nora is seen striking Jeannie over the back of her head.
Maybe she should have held on to that Athena pin.
