Unsurprisingly, it doesnt go so well.

Thats why its so satisfying to see this episode get all of our heroes (finally!)

on the same page.

As Rufus puts it: Whoa.

Scary Rittenhouse dude is your father?

When she attempts to question him, he informs her, Rittenhouse isnt a choice.

Yours, mine, and your kids, someday.

When youre ready to come home, Ill be here, Lucy.

As far as father-daughter first meetings go, not the best start.

As always, Rittenhouse as an organization continues to be frustratingly vague.

Also, they really like to threaten people who get in their way.

Its a fair question, especially considering all the damage that Rittenhouse has already done.

They wildly and extravagantly suck, and I want them gone, Rufus adds.

But as he reminds Lucy, Flynn has done plenty of damage himself.

So in the end, they decide their best plan of action is to continue with business as usual.

(Thats Flynns Lindbergh kidnapping, not the actual Lindbergh kidnapping.)

Unlike the booze-soaked Hemingway, Baker is brilliant and eager to help the trio.

Basically, Josephine Baker is the best, and I would watch an entire episode dedicated entirely to her.

When they find themselves exchanging gunfire with one of Flynns henchmen, poor David gets shot.

I didnt expect him to get shot and die in a Parisian back alley.

Im now regretting referring to him as a Walmart version of Wyatt.

But hes pretty bad at the job, since while hes vomiting, Lucy gets kidnapped by Flynn.

But Lucy and Rufus have bigger problems to worry about than Lindbergh being Lindbergh.

I am meant to protect the both of you.

I see that now, and I will.

You realize you sound like a crazy person, right?

are united in a single task: stopping Rittenhouse.

Watch out, Benjamin Cahill.
