Why would the FBI change their encryption so quickly? They should have at least waited until they picked up their two targets. They didn't realize that changing encryption right after finding out they cracked it would be a big red flag?
Otherwise I enjoyed the episode. I hope they don't kill off the Russian informant. She is way too good looking to get rid of.

Great episode. Yeah, that scene in the mechanic shop wasn't great, but other than that another high for me.
It could be just a standard spy show and it would be good, but I love how they humanize all the main characters. That gives you a whole new dimension. It's hard to look at them like the good or bad guys.
And they keep advancing the story, slowly (I like that!), but they do.

I guess the only thing that saved the mechanic shop sequence was that Phillip wasn't able to catch up and find the car with Elizabeth in the trunk. If he would have been right behind that car that would have been ridiculous.
Very good episode. As Raul3 said the character development and humanizing them is really good. They really know how to go deep with it. The FBI guy is really battling some things. I couldn't tell for sure if he was starting to fall for the informant. He at least cares about her but I don't know if he will take it to the next level with her.

I don't see how she can live that long. I don't see how she can live past the next ep, in fact, unless her boss is really stupid. Edit: or he dies himself.

Still, I really do like this show and Felicity is great in it.

The biggest problem in this episode was showing that the men end up giving out secret information after the "favors" from the women. Reality would be them giving up the goods in an attempt to make it happen.

2 weeks in a row Elizabeth has put a bullet in someone's head. I like that they're not trying to show them as good guys to the audience.

i am thinking that Felicity ends up putting a bullet in Nina. she gets rid of more moles than a dermatologist.
