Lt. Cmdr. Farrell is assigned the case of finding her killer and he is told that the culprit is believed to be KGB. Tom of course knows it's all a ruse as he was leaving Susan's house when an angry Brice arrived on the night of the murder. However things take a turn for the worst when a half developed photo of Tom from an instamatic camera is recovered at Susan's house. He must race against the clock to figure out what to do as the computer techs are working to regenerate the photograph.
