Pretending to be the assassin, Cameron makes contact with his target, Miller. What Cameron and Kay don’t know, Miller is planning to kill the assassin after Vivian is brought to him. With the masquerade going as planned, Gunter pretends to be Miller’s limousine driver.
Gunter manipulates the traffic signs to bring luck to Miller. Jordan brings Miller to Dinah, who dresses in red. Everything points to good fortune, but Miller wants a specific room designed to his tastes.
Cameron and Vivian enter the suite to meet with Miller. After Black makes his sneaky switch, Miller holds off on shooting him, thanks to Vivian’s pleas. With Cameron knocked out, Miller gets his reading and decides to leave. While Cameron pretends to be unconscious, Miller reveals where he’s going with Vivian.
As Miller takes Vivian into the elevator, Daniels takes down his armed guards. Mike Alvarez (Amaury Nolasco) shows up to stall and signals Dinah, telling her everything is going to be okay. As the FBI swarm in, Miller holds Vivian hostage; he accidentally ends up shooting her in the stomach.
With Miller in custody, the charade is over; Vivian is actually alive. Jonathan is congratulated for a job well done. At the wrap party, Vivian gets a chance to say goodbye before taking on her new identity.
