As her blossoming romance with J.P. clashed with her secret occupation, she sought help in leaving the agency. Despite being denied at first, Bob ultimately agreed to help her leave on one condition: she must assume the identity of Angela, the girlfriend of Fahd Bakhtiar. This Iranian tycoon dealt in the dangerous world of nuclear weapons trade.
