Meanwhile, Oscar's big app is about to launch at Ralph's bodega, and he wants Luke to join him. However, Emma and Aldon continue their affair, sharing a passionate kiss in the breakroom. Emma eventually pulls away, realizing that this is the wrong move. On the other hand, Aldon expresses his desire to continue the relationship but not as an intentional homewrecker. Luke decides that Emma needs a day off from work. He suggests they have a family day together to help her clear her mind. However, Emma opposes the idea, believing that spending time with Carter would be a better use of her time.

Dot calls a meeting for the entire team at work, where Luke, Aldon, and Emma exchange sketchy side-eyed glances. Dot briefs the team on their current situation. She reveals that Boro will have his weapons ready for sale in less than ten days. They plan to infiltrate a high-stakes card game where Cain, Boro's right-hand man, will be present. With the phones locked away during the game, they intend to smuggle operatives in and use planted mobiles to extract Cain's GPS data. This will lead them to Boro's location. Barry and Tina are chose for this mission, even though they have no prior experience. They will rely on a special AI algorithm, a planted card shuffler, and special glasses.

Tally approaches Luke, seeking the truth about a video she received from the Twinning Formula guys. Luke, once again, lies, pretending that they spooked Kyle and hired Aldon for the gig. Tally's curiosity remains, and she wants to see the company books to fend off the Formula guys. Luke lies again, claiming that Barry has a gambling problem and that they've been manipulating the books to cover it up.

While Tina and Barry prepare for the card game, they need to eliminate two players who were initially in their positions. This leads to a mission to break into the heavily guarded mansion of the Biryukovs. Unfortunately, Emma and Roo lose track of the couple. Everyone ends up locked in a fallout bunker within the mansion.

Concerned about their predicament, Roo suggests a plan to speed up the CPU on an old computer in the bunker. This plan advances the date to 2000 and opens the doors. While waiting for the doors to open, tensions rise as Emma discovers that Luke told Carter the truth about her cheating. Roo intervenes and puts everyone in their place. Aldon confesses that the kiss meant a lot more to him. He reveals his feelings for Emma since their mission in Moldova.

At the card game, Barry poses as a Nigerian, while Tina assumes the role of a suave French woman. They surrender their phones and prepare for the game. However, Boro unexpectedly arrives, changing the mission's objectives. Barry and Tina decide to poison Boro with a special drink that will kill him in 30 minutes, the same length of time they have to extract the data from the phones.

Chaos erupts during the card game when a Russian big boss named Volek arrives, claiming to have a mole planted within the CIA. Volek offers to help uncover Finn and Danielle's true identities in exchange for canceling the auction and keeping the nuclear weapons for himself. Amidst the chaos, a spilled drink disrupts the card shuffler, leaving the CIA in the dark. To make matters worse, one of the card players, Dimitri, unknowingly drinks the poisoned drink intended for Boro.

Back in the bunker, Luke confesses that he convinced Tally to join his side and they "got together." Emma retaliates by revealing that she played matchmaker between Donnie and Tally after her parents' breakup, highlighting her regret for her parents getting together in the first place. However, their conversation is cut short when the bunker doors finally open. The card game reaches its conclusion, with Dimitri, poisoned by the drink, being framed as a cheater by Barry and Tina. This buys the team enough time to make it to the end of the game without being exposed as spies. However, Dot, sharp and perceptive as ever, confronts Luke back at the office. She reveals that Luke smuggled out a pet lizard from the Biryukov house and used it in shipments with the Twinning Brothers, leading to their assets being frozen and their business in ruins.

The team finds themselves in disarray, and Emma attempts to apologize to Luke without success. Luke decides to invest in his son's MyAisle app, finally showing a moment of kindness and support for his son. Episode 6 of FUBAR delivers another gripping installment, unveiling the hidden secrets the team has been keeping from one another. Emma's brash and cocky demeanor starts to backfire, alienating those around her. It is unknown if she will eventually change her ways and follow through on her promise to be better.

In conclusion, Episode 6 of FUBAR showcases the escalating tension as the team navigates the dangerous world of espionage and deceit. Secrets are revealed, alliances are tested, and the mission takes unexpected turns. With the characters' messy relationships and the stakes higher than ever, viewers are eagerly anticipating the explosive conclusion of the season.
