[Warning: General spoilers ahead.]

After spending some quality time with Gus last week, he sits out tomorrow’s new episode, and we instead follow along as Dr. Goodweather Goes to Washington. The onscreen manifestation of his travel outfit is a fun wink-nudge for fans of Corey Stoll.

The rest of the team is divvied up–Nora and Dutch go get Fet, and while the latter two are roped into formal service (alongside Bitten‘s Paulino Nunes), Nora helps Justine with a personal matter. We also get Setrakian continuing his badassery in unexpected places as he pursues the Lumen. And we find out he’s not alone in that quest as we pick up on a dinner date between Palmer and Coco, who I completely expect to be outed as covert for somebody. There’s just something about her that’s a scoche not right.
