As Parker is searching the mayor's office, she realizes that someone is about to come in. Tara comms her and tells her to feed them a story. Parker can't since normally Sophie helps her, and Tara decides to help. She decides to use Parker's uncomfortableness to the advantage, and starts to feed her a story.

THE MALTESE FALCON JOB

Parker and Eliot join Tara who says that the job sucks. Parker agrees and also point out that it smells, which Tara also agrees with. They start getting descriptive when Eliot comes up with an idea and walks off. Tara point out that he's acting like Nate, and Parker agrees.

Tara leads Parker through a grift and get to the roof of the building. Tara jokes about just going in with fake ID's, but Parker assures her that no one's ever died going through an air duct. Tara says that's comforting, and Parker describer falling and getting stuck in a metal coffin. Tara looks concerned, but Parker is ready to go.

After getting out of the FBI Offices, Parker gets a call from Hardison who tells her that Tara is working for Kadjic. She goes over to Tara, who asks her what's wrong, but Parker just wraps her hand around Tara's neck. She then pushes her to the edge of the building, and bends her over the side. Tara says that Parker is really strong, and Parker says it's from hanging off buildings by just her finger tips. Tara says it's not what she thinks, and that she was just setting up a meeting. Parker was thinking the same thing, and is about to let Tara go, when Tara says that it wasn't for her.

Parker takes Tara in her car, as Tara explains that she set up the meeting for Sophie. She asks if Parker is sure that this is the fastest way, and Parker says yes, since there's not traffic. Parker asks if she was spying, and Tara says it was more of a warning system if Nate went off the rails. So she would call Sophie to make a back up plan just in case. Parker asks why they weren't back up, and Tara says it's because they were too likely to forgive him. Parker says that their current situation does qualify as out of control. Tara admits that she though Parker might actually drop her, and Parker fake laughs at that. Tara realizes she was serious and the two continue their ride in awkward silence.
