"They're suspicious," Jessica explains to Amaya who in turn, translates to Nate and Sara.

"Of what?" Sara asks.

"Of how she follows instructions perfectly," Nate explains, already knowing the others would question her ability to follow orders. Jessica turns her head to him and nods.

"It's not like we plan on keeping this a secret forever," Sara shrugs. "Truth's gotta come out at some point."

"I can't talk in my human form," Jessica reminds them through Amaya. "It's embarrassing. Had I been able to talk I would've revealed myself a long time ago."

"Okay, I've got things I need to take care of in the bridge," Sara says. "I'll see you later," she turns and leaves.

"Gideon, can you find me Clarissa Stein?" Amaya asks as Nate begins to zone out.

"Hubba-hubba, who's that?" He asks as he comes back to the real world.

"Professor Stein's wife," Amaya answers with a slight glare. "Jax is at her hotel explaining why she has to spend her birthday alone."

"Wait a minute, if he used everyone's favorite talking computer to find her..." he looked up at the ceiling. "Gideon, do you have the location on Damien Darhk?"

"Unfortunately, I have no intel on his current whereabouts," Gideon answers.

"But we know where he's gonna be," Amaya reminds him.

"His little side deal with the Soviets is going down at the State Dinner tomorrow night," Nathan recalls.

"Which is probably the most heavily guarded dinner in history," Gideon warns.

"I think we know someone who may be able to help," Amaya informs the super computer.

"Is that so?" She asks.

"One of Amaya's old JSA buddies," Nate answers. "And, by old, I mean old."

"He may still have some government contacts we can exploit," Amaya explains.

"Jess, you in?" Nate asks.

"Does this involve clothing?" She asks in return.

"Yes," Amaya answers. Jessica shakes her head, not wanting to have to put that ridiculous outfit back on.

"If we're going against Darhk, we might need her," Nate suggests.

"How do you expect to get that into a state dinner?" Amaya gestures to the scaled beast before them.
