In Berlin, a helicopter lifts an elevator carrying two CIA agents out of its shaft. Satisfied that Syd is not brainwashed, Jack dissuades her from admitting to the CIA that she killed Lazarey. Later, Weiss helps Syd move in to a neighboring apartment. He says that Vaughn was reluctant to return to the CIA.

The team learns The Covenant, a loose affiliation of Russian nationals, is
behind the kidnapping. They will execute the men unless their demands are
met. Syd volunteers to retrieve a package in a Munich adult movie theater.
Dixon informs Syd of a therapy group for those who have lost their memory.
Jack tells Syd that she was cremated and Vaughn spread her ashes at sea.

In the theater, Syd opens the package — it's the head of one of the CIA
agents. Shoved in his mouth is a note demanding the the CIA exchange Sark
for the remaining agent. Syd objects but Lindsey says Sark has no more
secrets and, based on info provided by Sloane, believes they want to kill him.

Syd visits Vaughn at his classroom; he's a French teacher. She tells him
she could cope with his return to the Agency. After her death, Vaughn
says, he lost control and started drinking. He was deeply in love with
her, but he doesn't regret moving on with his life.

Jack confronts Sloane, doubting his redemption and blaming him for Syd's
disappearance. Jack offers to stop his efforts to invalidate Sloane's
pardon if he gives details. Sloane gives Jack a disc with his own leads
into Syd's death. Despite Sloane's denials, Jack says he'll bury Sloane
for his involvement.

In a CIA jail, Sark denies knowledge of Syd's death. At the exchange in the
Sonora desert, Sark is unsure why The Covenant wants him. The trade is
interrupted by a Lindsey-ordered Delta Force helicopter. In the confusion,
Sark and the CIA agent, a scientist, are taken by the Covenant. Syd later
threatens Lindsey in the men's room for pulling that stunt. A man named
Ushek San'ko says that Sark killed his brother, and demands $800 million.
He says Sark, unbeknownst to him, is worth that much. Vaughn is reinstated
while Jack discovers that Sark and San'ko withdrew $800 million in gold
bullion from a Grand Cayman bank. The money belonged to Lazarey, a
murdered Russian diplomat and descendant of the Romanov family. When he
died, it went to his son … Mr. Sark.

Weiss tracked the scientist to a Frankfurt nightclub, run by Otto Edel, a
drug dealer. Jack believes The Covenant is responsible for Syd's two year
absence and compelled her to assassinate Lazareey. He's contacts Irina,
who offers her help.

At the club, Syd poses as a chemist offering to triple Edel's sales by
making his drug more addictive. She threatens to overdose him, but he
locates the alarm terminal. Vaughn remotely helps her deactivate the
alarm. Syd opens the torture room where the scientist is held, shoots the
torturer. The dying torturer remembers her, said she kept her promise to
kill him. He says that she was his favorite because she never broke.

At therapy, others discuss their amnesia and ensuring nightmares. Syd later
interrupts Dixon to tell him that although she still has feelings for
Vaughn, she won't be a part of the group. Dixon introduces Syd to the
woman to whom he was speaking, Lauren Reed, the new NSC liaison, who'll be
investigating Lazarey's murder. She's Vaughn's wife.
