Simon Escher, the rogue ex-spy who hired and killed Gilroy to escape, blackmails Michael to help him with a bomb in an unspecified hotel to contact 'management'. While Sam and Fiona find and disable the bomb, Michael jumps through Simon's hoops and finds 'management' dangerously imprudent, to each party's detriment. Meanwhile FBI Agent Callahan leans heavily on his mother, who braves the risk of arrest.
