Chuck Bartowski, Sarah Walker, and John Casey are sent to Morocco to rescue old friend Roan Montgomery (John Larroquette), while Morgan Grimes meets Alex Hugh's (Mekenna Melvin) mother (Clare Carey) and Mary Elizabeth Bartowski (Linda Hamilton) tries to reconnect with her family.

After neutralizing her guards, they find Roan tied up but discover he is using his seduction skills to infiltrate Tazi’s counterfeiting ring.

General Beckman orders Chuck and Sarah to rescue Casey and destroy Tazi's mint, allowing them to take Roan along.

Meanwhile, Mary Bartowski, now free from Volkoff Industries, helps Ellie and Devon with their baby Clara but ultimately chooses to return to the CIA.

Roan advises them to listen to each other, and they resolve their differences, with Chuck expressing a desire to meet Sarah’s family.

Further, Casey's inability to seduce the dungeon guard is directly attributed to his failure of Roan's "seduction school".

Eric Goldman of IGN gave this episode a score of 9 out of 10, praising Larroquette's performance and calling his flashback scene with Friedricy "hysterical".

"[4] HitFix writer Alan Sepinwall wrote, "Larroquette was Larroquette, and Bonita Friedericy made a meal out of the first real General Beckman episode to date, from the dirty blonde '80s flashback to Beckman whipping out a rocket launcher to save her man and take down the evil Fatima.
