Once again, Erskine goes under cover.
planktonrules15 December 2019
When the story begins, a spy carrying important information for his communist contacts in the United States is caught and shot while trying to pass through customs. Before dying, he talks to the FBI and informs them of his assignment. Erskine decides to pose as this agent and complete the assignment in order to uproot the spy network. However, there are some problems. Erskine doesn't exactly look like the guy, he has limited information about every aspect of the job and he is an agent who might be recognized. But what he doesn't realize is that the dead man's assignment was to kill someone. What will Erskine do when he is told he must do this?

While this is an exciting and good episode, once again I felt a bit annoyed that they had Erskine go undercover. He did this in the previous episode...and was identified! Considering he's a long-time agent and has many enemies, he would seem like a terrible choice to complete this mission.
