Or how do you live happily once you realize you cant make valuable connections?
Those questions are at the center of this weeks episode.
They plague everyone on the team to some degree, but Alex is most actively occupied by her isolation.

It affects all the choices shell make in this action-packed hour so lets get to it!
Rejoining the drama back at the Farm, Clay is catching up with his fiancee, Maxine.
Maxine is not too pleased with Clays job.
It makes him secretive and hard to find, which are understandably frustrating characteristics in your betrothed.
Everyone, minus Dayana, who is apparently appearing in federal court, meets at the bunker.
He reminds them that anyone giving information to any reporters is compromising this mission and endangering everyones lives.
The information hasnt yet been used, but theyve found another collaborator.
(Nimah is onto Ryan when he mentions wanting to use Sasha, but Ryan persists.)
(Sashas part in the scheme is calling the socialite to go over some biographical details for a story.
As Rebecca confirms important names, places, and people, Clay tries them as passwords.)
Naturally, things go haywire.
Rebecca is smarter than the crew assumed, and she catches Clay at her desk.
The twist is that Rebecca is relieved to find out that the FBI is onto her.
She says she needs help before they kill her.
She was downloading passport control information because she is trying to escape, she tells them.
They have Rebecca set a meeting in Central Park.
As the crowd begins to scatter, Rebecca is also hit.
No one can go help her at risk of exposing the operation.
The ambulance doesnt make it in time.
The team on the ground sets off into Central Park to try and identify the shooter.
Once everyone returns to the bunker, Clay spirals into meltdown mode.
Two people are dead, Maxine isnt talking to him theyre nowhere!
Everyone on the team is single, totally alone in the world.
Owen tries a pep talk, but I dont think it works.
He doesnt want to visit her; hes too disappointed.
But Alex wont hear it, reminding Owen that Lydia is still his daughter.
Nimah and Ryan are also having a tete-a-tete.
That way, if Sasha tries to expose him again, he can stop her.
but when he gets there, he cant seem to go through with it.
He has an opening to get into her computer for info, but he hesitates.
Nimah didnt hesitate, though, and is calling her sister.
But when her name flashes on Rainas screen, were suddenly back in that apartment from earlier.
Raina sees everything planted in her apartment, and shes suddenly grabbed and dragged off.
While Owen is visiting Lydia, Alex gets a phone call from Harry.
Emotional, he tells her that he wont be coming back.
Alex is sad but believes him when he says he just cant join a team.
