Back in the present, Rose gives her statement to Hawkins and Farr. Hawkins is pushing her as he believes she is hiding something. Rose insists that she is telling them everything but Hawkins is adamant that after 30 years in the FBI, he knows when someone is lying.

Rose leaves the room angry and Hawkins tells Farr that Peter shouldn’t be protecting Rose, he is not qualified. Farr points out that she has been watching Peter for the past year and he is ready.

When Rose returns, she queries what will happen next. Farr tells her that she will go to a hotel while continuing to be under Secret Service security. Till it is secure, she is to stay there. Rose refuses Peter's offer to accompany her to the hotel and continues to walk.

She tells Peter that the White House has been penetrated when he questions why she suppressed the information. When they arrive at the motel, Rose grips about having to live without any technology or books. She praises Peter and he reassures her that the Secret Service is keeping an eye on her. Even though Peter has left, he sends books to her room.

Dale and Hellen, the murderers, hurry back to Washington, D.C., and receive a ticket.

Peter reports for his shift at the White House and Farr asks if he got more from Rose. He says no. A meeting starts, led by Farr, and Hawkins briefs the people present that the Campbells (Rose’s aunt and uncle) worked for the FBI in counterintelligence and had retired. He believes they called night action because they were working something off books. Ben asks him to consider that someone might have changed the rules in Spyland.

So far, the FBI has no suspects or motives. Hawkins asks Peter to stay out of it as he should not be in the room. Farr interjects and points out Rose is alive thanks to Peter, and she also wants to know what Hawkins is hiding in his investigation. She is worried about the truth of the Campbells getting out and wants the case to be solved before that happens.

After the meeting, Farr asks Peter to double-check Hawkins’ work and get him the files on the Campbells when they worked for the FBI. Even though it is above his clearance, she wants Peter to find out what Hawkins might be hiding. She wants to know if Peter is ready and willing to do what it takes to get to the truth and protect Rose. He wants him to step up.

Peter leaves to find check on an update regarding the ring the intruder was wearing. His colleague tells him the ring is similar to a sigil from the Royal House of Yugoslavia. They deduce the original owner may be from a royal family.
