The Kollective meet in person for the first time to discuss a new project; Josh is driven to solve the mystery surrounding a plane crash in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that killed all passengers on board.

In Kinshasa, Delia, Aaron and Maya are devastated to see Joshua's tortured body; while officials feed them the implausible story that Josh's murder was the result of a robbery gone wrong, Delia's rage is barely contained.

The Kollective reunite at Joshua's funeral, determined to uncover the truth but lacking sufficient evidence to publish; reviewing CCTV footage from Lusamba's poisoning, they spot Ivanov leaving a parking lot.

The Kollective plans Sugalov's escape from Russia with Maya and Sergey; Sugalov agrees to an interview in exchange for asylum but unexpectedly arrives with his teenage daughter, Anna; he refuses to talk until both are guaranteed safety.
