Dylan has been tasked with infiltrating a criminal organization known as Red Star, which is responsible for a series of attacks against government agencies and individuals.
In this episode, Dylan is introduced to a new member of the Red Star organization called the Marionette. The Marionette is a highly trained assassin who can change her appearance and identity at will.

As Dylan works to gain the Marionette's trust, he begins to uncover some disturbing information about her past. He learns that she was trained at a young age to be a killer and that she has been manipulated by the Red Star leader, a mysterious figure known only as the Puppet Master.
Meanwhile, Dylan's CIA handler, Harper Deakins, is becoming increasingly suspicious of his actions.

In the end, his decision has far-reaching consequences that threaten to destroy everything he has worked for.
