## Summary

*The following is a summary written for this wiki. It only hits the major points of the episode and, as such, should not be used as a substitute for listening to the episode as intended by the creators.*
This episode picks after the events of Episode 48 - Jackie Williams. Jackie is furious with Mia after the latter took matters into her own hands and headed back to London so they could report to Miss Kennedy. They arrive at the US Embassy only for a security guard to inform them that there is no parking due to a big event happening: O SO SAD. Jackie kicks Mia and Kozlowski out of the car to wait inside while she goes to park.

After waiting for Jackie for 47 minutes and 26 seconds, a time given by Kozlowski's impeccable internal clock, Mia manages to flag down an embassy worker. He informs them that Miss Kennedy is attending the O SO SAD event : the Overseas Security Organization Seminar and Dinner. She asks him to send her a message that she needs to talk to her, which he says he will convey if he sees her.

Once he leaves, Mia presses Kozlowski in why The Amelia Project serves cocoa to all their clients. Before answering that, Kozlowski asks is Mia has ever experienced death, whether directly or in her proximity. She remembers a time when she was 19 and a manager of a band. At an outdoor 4th of July event, an older man approached her, asking about the band. During this, he begin choking on his corndog. Once she realizes no one else is going to help him, she performs the Heimlich maneuver and saves his life. But for her, this isn't a story about death.

At this point, Miss Kennedy comes out of the event. Kozlowski introduces himself and Kennedy presses Mia on why he's not actually dead. Kozlowski explains the situation about them secretly assisting in faking his death and taking him to Scotland in return for information on The Amelia Project and how he needs to take them there to set the scene for the story he wants to tell. Kennedy further presses Mia and gets more frustrated as she needs a smoke. Kozlowski intervenes again and tells her to go smoke as she cannot seem to focus without her nicotine fix.

Returning to her story, Mia reveals that the man she saved was Mr. Anderson, songwriter for the CIA's Soft Power Branch, a branch dedicated to using the fine arts for "affecting change not through violence, but through appeal and attraction." He offered her an internship as a Cross-Media Production Assistant which eventually lead to her training to be a protective agent. With this reveal, Kozlowski is glad to know that Mia understands that death is never about death and is in fact about life.

At this point, Miss Kennedy returns. After some back and forth on the matter, Miss Kennedy explains to Mia that Kozlowski is either going to talk in a holding cell from torture or by humoring by taking him to a field in Scotland. She then returns to her dinner.

Mia turns the conversation back to the cocoa, which Kozlowski explains that the chemicals found in cocoa help alleviate the fear and dread that comes from the huge step they are about to take in their lives. That they serve the cocoa exactly how it comes form Les Deuz Magots, plus a few drops of Patience.

Jackie, still angry about Mia's betrayal, finally returns and explains to Mia how what is right and what is lawful is subjective to the person and the country they are in and how if they are going to work together, Jackie needs to be able to trust her. She reconcile and make their way back to the car, which was parked over an hour away.

In the epilogue, Jackie and Mia struggle to get a cab to get back to the car. Kozlowski suggests they take an Uber, to which Jackie replies that her Uber rating is the equivalent to a restraining order.
