Synopsis:
     A government standoff at a religious cult's compound ends catastrophically, and so does the Back Step team's investigation of the disaster--a reporter goes public with damaging details about the project after spending a night talking and drinking with Parker. He denies having told her anything, but Talmadge is furious and orders a Back Step to seal a security breach, save the cult members and preserve an important human rights conference. Once in the past, Parker and Olga pose as a married couple inside the compound in an effort to save the cult members, and the real story of how Back Step wound up on the nightly news unfolds.
