Episode 6 of "FUBAR" kicks off with an intense sparring session between Luke and Carter by the docks. Carter, fueled by a determination to stand up for Emma and fight for her honor, conveys a sincerity that begins to chip away at Luke's initial reservations. Luke, privy to Emma's secret liaisons with Aldon, decides to lift the veil of secrecy and inform Carter of the heart-wrenching truth, urging him to confront Emma directly.
Elsewhere, Oscar's highly anticipated app launch looms at Ralph's bodega, and he eagerly seeks Luke's company for this milestone. Simultaneously, Emma and Aldon's clandestine affair simmers on, their kisses interrupted in the breakroom as Emma hesitates, sensing that their actions are misplaced. Aldon, acknowledging his reluctance to disrupt other people's families, nonetheless expresses his desire to continue their relationship.
Luke, concerned for Emma's well-being, proposes a family day away from work to help her regain her focus. However, Emma resists, preferring to spend her time with Carter. As tensions mount, Dot convenes a meeting at work, where Luke, Aldon, and Emma exchange covert glances, hinting at underlying drama.
Dot updates the team on their pressing mission: Boro will have his weapons ready for sale within ten days, with a high-stakes card game serving as a crucial prelude in the coming days. Cain, Boro's trusted lieutenant, will be present at the game, making him their prime target. With phones confiscated during the event, it presents an unparalleled opportunity to infiltrate operatives, use planted mobile devices to extract Cain's GPS data, and potentially uncover Boro's exact whereabouts. The challenge lies in Cain's familiarity with some operatives, narrowing down the candidates to Barry and Tina, both novice in such undertakings.
How, then, will they pull it off? Enter a cutting-edge AI algorithm, a cleverly disguised card shuffler, and special glasses—a trio of tools designed to turn the tables in their favor.Tally confronts Luke about the video the Twinning Formula individuals had forwarded her, seeking the unvarnished truth. Yet again, Luke resorts to deceit, convinced that feigning ignorance—pretending they merely startled Kyle and that Aldon was merely a temporary hire—is the most prudent approach. Though Tally gives him the benefit of the doubt, her inquisitiveness remains unquenched. She's determined to lay eyes on the company's ledgers to thwart the Formula gang's probing into Merry Fitness. Tally senses a clandestine undercurrent; hence, Luke weaves another web of lies, fabricating that Barry is a compulsive gambler with dire issues, prompting them to manipulate the books to conceal his plight.
As Tina and Barry gear up for a high-stakes poker night, they must displace two players who rightfully occupy their seats, ensuring the operation's legitimacy. This necessitates infiltrating the heavily fortified mansion of the Biryukovs, a married couple, and seizing their places at the table. Aldon and Luke embark on reconnaissance of the mansion, whereas Roo and Emma momentarily lose sight of their mark, allowing the Biryukovs to slip through their fingers. It transpires that the Biryukovs harbor a darker side than initially perceived, leading to a scuffle that confines everyone within a fallout bunker.
Roo, whose real moniker is Ruth, begins to fret until they devise an intricate scheme to juice up the ancient computer's CPU, bypassing the date to the year 2000, thereby unlocking the bunker doors. Amidst the anticipatory wait, secrets spill forth as Emma is taken aback to discover Luke has confessed her infidelity to Carter. Her fury ignites, prompting Roo to intervene, restoring order amidst the turmoil. Matters escalate when Aldon confesses that their kiss meant far more to him, revealing his lingering affection since their Moldovan mission.
At the card game, Barry adopts a Nigerian persona, while Tina transforms into a suave Frenchwoman. They surrender their phones and brace for the game, but Boro's arrival dramatically alters their mission, tasking Barry and Tina with eliminating their primary adversary. They resolve to administer a lethal potion in Boro's alcohol, ensuring his demise within thirty minutes—a window matching the time required to extract data from their phones, rendering the operation perilously tightrope-walking.
Chaos ensues when Volek, a Russian kingpin, bursts onto the scene mid-game, acknowledging he has a CIA infiltrator codenamed Songbird. This mole could unravel the true identities of Finn and Danielle. In return for Songbird's cooperation, Volek demands the auction's cancellation and the retention of nuclear weapons for his sole possession.
As they hashed out an accord, the card table descended into disarray when a drink was accidentally spilled, disrupting the card shuffler and causing it to short-circuit, plunging the CIA into a state of ignorance. Matters worsened when Dimitri, one of the players, seized Boro's drink and decided to quaff it himself, oblivious to its potentially dire consequences.
Back in the bunker, Luke confessed that he had persuaded Tally to embark on his ship, where their relationship blossomed. Meanwhile, Emma let slip that she had been the one to orchestrate Donnie and Tally's pairing after her parents' split. Witnessing Donnie's longing glances at Tally, Emma stepped in to replace Luke in his affections. She concluded the conversation with a barbed remark about his parenting, openly regretting her parents' union. The bunker doors' eventual opening drew everyone's attention away from Emma's harsh words.
The card game concluded amidst drama, with Dimitri, now poisoned, being falsely accused of cheating by Barry and Tina. Their deceit bought the group just enough time to conclude the game without their spy identities being exposed. However, Dot, as astute as she was clever, confronted Luke back at the office. Recall the pet lizard from the Biryukov residence earlier? Luke had actually smuggled it out after their mission and concealed it in shipments with the Twinning Brothers, who now faced frozen assets and a ruined business.
As for the team, it too was in shambles. Emma made a half-hearted attempt to apologize to Luke, while Luke decided to invest in his son's MyAisle app after all. It was a heartwarming moment, arguably one of the season's finest, as he finally did something kind for his son.
