Slater has an assignment for Archer and Lana: extract a freelance CIA agent stranded in Buenos Aires. That agent happens to be Conway Stern, who apparently stole a whisper drive to sell to the Chinese government. Conway was, in fact a decoy, set up by the CIA, to ensure the safety of the real plans. After Archer and Conway fight upon seeing each other, Conway tells them he was sent to retrieve a computer file with the identities of every CIA operative operating in Central and South America. All three must now work together to complete their respective missions. Ultimately, Conway intended to sell the files to the Russians. Back home, the search is on for A.J., who has gone missing. She is found in Krieger's lab, where she was taken for research for Krieger's "Cyberneddly Teddly" cyborg, which he has completed.
Pam's sister Edie is getting married and has overlooked Pam for maid of honor, in favor of a woman who stole her old boyfriend. Archer accompanies Pam to Wisconsin, only to be spotted in an airport by Barry Dylan. He later kidnaps Pam from the hotel, takes her to an abandoned farm, and calls Archer, who knocks out Edie when she refuses to help with Pam. At the farm, all engage in a verbal and physical fight until Pam saves Edie from Barry's choking her by shooting him with Archer's explosive shotgun shells. The building gets set on fire, and the three leave Barry's mechanical, still alive endoskeleton behind.
Lana leaves A.J. in Archer's care. When she departs, Slater arrives at Archer's with a bullet wound and a Pakistani agent, named Farouk, needing a safe house. Farouk later forces Archer at gunpoint to drive him to the office to hack the mainframe. With A.J. in tow, Archer does, and they find the team playing poker. While the team overpowers Farouk, Pam takes A.J. to the top of the building, à la King Kong.
