| - When he is delayed coming home from a mission in "Widowmaker", his wife Julie becomes distraught and tells Francine that Craig tells her everything that is going on in his life. When Francine pushes Stan to do the same, Stan opens up that he killed Craig for talking too much. Francine struggles to keep Julie from finding out until she is pushed to tell Julie what happened. When Julie threatens to go to the police, Francine is fearful for Stan and knocks Julie unconscious and ties her up in the basement. When Stan calls to say hello, Francine hopes the CIA can be reasoned with so they don't see a need to kill blabbermouths but Stan dismisses that hope. When Francine tells Roger that Julie is tied up in the basement, his first reaction is for Francine to kill her. Francine suggests Roger try to use his psychiatry skills to reason with her where he suggests she kill herself. When Stan arrives, Francine tells him of the goings on and that Roger is in the basement with Julie. Just then, Roger appears and announces that Julie is dead and they rush to the basement to find Julie hanging from a noose. Stan shoots the noose, freeing Julie. Julie claims she wants to die until Stan reveals that Craig is still alive. Stan tells of the elaborate ruse he concocted with Roger to keep Julie occupied while Craig retrieve his belongings to leave her for Pyung, a cucumber farmer in Laos. When Francine asks why Craig left Julie, Stan reveals it was her constant nagging to share information.
