On the last episode, Charleston (Katherine Heigl) and the team were in a race against the Russians over a stranded Russian submarine holding six months of stolen U.S. secrets — their one advantage was that they have a CIA asset on board. At the same time, the texter persisted, sending Charlie a damning picture, while Nick (guest star Chris L. McKenna) forced her to question if Fatah was ever really her asset. Meanwhile, President Payton (Alfre Woodard) appointed a new CIA director, the formidable Ray Navarro (guest star Nestor Carbonell). Adam Kaufman, Sheila Vand, Cliff Chamberlain, Tommy Savas and David Harbour also starred. Guest starring Courtney B. Vance, James Remar and Alon Moni Aboutboul. Did you watch the last episode?
