As Syd and Jack view the tape. Lazarey says "Julia" before he dies.
A team stole four vials of Ebola from a French epidemiology lab. Lauren
and Syd question Laszlo Bogdan, a team member who was infected and
captured. He says The Covenant plans to mutate the virus … and his team
was set for a second heist. Dixon IDs the team, led by a deadly freelancer
named Simon Walker. Syd is to pose as a security expert, join Walker's
team and track whatever they steal back to The Covenant.

A flirtatious Vaughan gives Syd a lipstick tracking device. In Sevilla, a
disguised Syd meets Walker. He calls her Julia and greets her with a hot
kiss. He says he's missed her. Syd is coy and says she wants to work with
him again. "What, no future in murder?" he asks. Meanwhile, Syd meets the
crew. They test her by making her steal a 150 carat diamond necklace from
Princess Demetria of Greece. Walker gives her a tranquilizer gun and a
knife, then calls the police. She has seven minutes to do it.

Dressed as a maid, she dopes the guard and enters the suite. The princess
is sleeping; Syd dismantles a phone, creating an amplifier, and cracks the
safe containing the necklace. As the police arrive, she darts the princess
and jumps out the window into a pool far below. She returns to Walker with
the necklace.

On the plane home, Vaughn, who had heard the whole thing, asks her
what "Julia" was all about. She's mum, admitting she can't trust him
because of Lauren. At the CIA Jack says Vaughn has been snooping. Syd
considers admitting her guilt.

Marshall creates a safecracking device for Syd. Dixon calls a meeting with
Syd, Jack and Vaughn. Jack has shown him the video of Lazarey's murder and
told him Syd was conspiring to keep it a secret. Dixon is displeased but
says that she was not responsible. He prohibits Vaughn from mentioning
this to Lauren. Syd realizes Jack manipulated the situation so the NSC,
ie., Lauren, wouldn't find out. Later, Syd apologizes to Vaughn.

In Spain, Walker receives pictures of Syd and Vaughn. Syd returns to
Walker, and as they kiss she tries to extract info — she learns they met
in Algeria. But the game is up and he puts a knife to her throat and shows
her the photos. She says Vaughn is her supplier. Vauhgn calls Marshall,
telling him to create a criminal record for himself on Interpol, which he
does just before Walker checks it.

The team plans to go to a storage facility 35 miles outside Ibiza, run by
disease control ministry. They'll have five minutes to get the package, a
temperature-sensitive biological element. Sark walks into the safe house
to talk about the deal! Syd manages to elude his notice. Lauren tries to
pry info about The Covenant from Sloan. He says that they'll be able to
create a bio-weapon against specific targets with the new theft. Sloane
baits Lauren, says she in her job because of her father, a Senator.

Walker and Julia break into the facility's refrigerated vault. Syd has
about a minute to crack the safe, but Marshall's device won't work. She
reroutes the hardware and breaks in before the temperature rises too high.
They steal the canister and put it in a cooler. As they switch vehicles,
Syd grabs the transmitter from the lipstick. Vaughn is in the other
vehicle! They've discovered he's CIA. To gain some control over the
situation, Syd stabs him in the ribs. Walker then kicks him down a hill
and they leave in a new vehicle.
