Alex loses some of the confidence she felt in Beijing as she struggles with her assignment—finding a way past Drottningholm Palace’s security systems. On a group video call, Irene reveals she was able to find out more about the palace’s security protocols than Alex, and doesn’t try to hide her lack of confidence in Alex’s abilities.

Daniel thinks about all he’s learned about art theft from his father’s job with the FBI. He realizes there’s no way for the crew to break into Drottningholm Palace and get the fountainhead without setting off an alarm or being caught on camera. He tells Will the way in doesn’t matter, as long as they have a good escape.

Will and Daniel share Daniel’s idea with the rest of the crew—a smash-and-grab. Alex will create a diversion for the police. After their meeting, Will wanders the grounds of Harvard, thinking about graduation. Not knowing what will come next terrifies him.
