Warning: Spoilers
When a group of Russian ultra-nationalists known as the October Contingent gets its hands on an electromagnetic pulse weapon Sydney and Vaughn are sent to Moscow to infiltrate them by posing as two real Russians who are in German custody. When they get there they soon make contact with 'Tom' who is keen to hear that they can speak English without a Russian accent. Since they can obviously pass that test they are moved to the group's base of operations, a mock up of an American suburb that they have dubbed Liberty Village. When they arrive they are taken to their new house and introduced to their new 'neighbours'. The look and sound American but something isn't quite right; perhaps they are just a little too stereotypically American. After the house warming party Sydney goes jogging to get an idea of their new surroundings and Vaughn practices assembling the new pistol Tom gave him. The next day they are taken to buy a new car, the price isn't exactly usual though; they must fight two of their neighbours to the death to see who gets it! Whey they are getting to know the group the team back at APO have identified everybody there and Jack is working with a Russian contact to find a way to extract them should something go wrong… and it doers; the Germans broadcast that they are moving the two Russians Sydney and Vaughn were impersonating.

This was a fun episode but just because it contained a few laughs doesn't mean it wasn't action packed; it featured shoot-outs, fights and even an exploding helicopter! While the main story was wrapped up within the episode while Jack was dealing with his contact he came into information suggesting that the Russians are looking for Irina… perhaps she isn't dead after all and if she isn't I'm sure we'll be in for some interesting episodes in future.
