Jimmy Nash and Tess Bailey are at the safe house in the California desert and he begins to recount some of his dreams that are based in the reality of some of his missions. Did his stories conflict with what you’d imagined about him or were they close to what you’d expected? After years of these dark missions, how will he get beyond the nightmares? Were you persuaded that someone from within the agency was trying to kill him?

I wasn't surprised by any of his recollections. He was a covert operative so, if anything, they were perhaps not as extreme as I would have thought.

I wasn't sure that it was the Agency per se that was after him (that didn't make sense because that kind of betrayal would turn back on them if other agents decided to leave and tell tales), but elements within the agency, and this turned out to be the case.

I wasn't surprised either by what kinds of missions he was sent on. I also was iffy on it being the Agency behind what was happening. The whole "why" of it kept bothering me. It bothered me that Jimmy was sent on missions designed to hurt of possibly kill him.

When Nash was first introduced in the series, it was made clear that he’d participated in dark ops and I knew what that meant. Nothing here surprised me.

I knew the Agency had to be involved because the ops were at the center of the attempts on Nash’s life. As you both said, the motive was unclear, though.

Nothing surprised me.
