In the greenroom, the others listen to American turncoat Nazi broadcaster Jonathan "Benedict" Arnold, but Scott notes that it is a different voice. According to Mackie, when you get cancelled on Nazi radio, you stay cancelled. Betty, of course, becomes concerned for Victor's well-being. She consults Doug as to whether or not she has the right to open the strongbox Victor gave her the key to ("In the WENN Small Hours"). A little note: Betty keeps the key in a 1939 World Almanac.

Betty tries repeatedly to get a chance to even open the box, but she is interrupted by Scott (who asks her out to dinner), Pruitt, Jeffrey Singer. . . . Yes, Jeff's back and about to exprerience murder firsthand at the hands of his beloved ex-wife, Hilary. He pleads with Betty to help him--he thinks doing a scene with Hilary will help break the ice, but his plan sinks like the Titanic. Hilary runs out of the studio and gives Betty (who is still trying to read the name of the contact) an ultimatum: either Jeff goes or she quits.

Later, during the Sentry Savings commercial, Scott and Mackie notice something odd about the numbers listed in the ads (which arrive at WENN as records). Scott decides to decipher them, which leads to some very interesting findings.

Betty finally opens the letter to reveal Victor's contact: "It's impossible," she says. Unlikely indeed, as the name is none other than Rollie Pruitt. Pruitt tells Betty how his stingy persona is no more than an act, and in fact, he refers Betty to someone more knowledgeable on Victor's condition. In the meanwhile, Pruitt receives a call to which he responds, "Buy barley futures." Betty receives a phone call from the police and clears everyone from WENN (she tells them it's an odorless gas leak).

A police officer arrives at WENN and enters Studio A, where Betty is waiting. It's none other than Lieutenant Victor Comstock! Betty is so relieved that he's finally home and safe, but something about him is not quite right. He can't remember when he left Germany and has an uncharacteristic blank grinning expression. Betty starts telling him about the crazy events and the "Satanic Santa" (Pruitt), but when she mentions "buy barley futures, Victor shocks the WENN world. He pulls out a gun and aims it straight at Betty (who's back is to him). However, something makes him change his mind. He says he has to go to the greenroom to meet his contact, and there is Pruitt waiting for them. But Victor has another revelation--Pruitt's not the contact.

Betty realizes she was the one who told Pruitt about Victor, and when Pruitt utters the codephrase ("buy barley futures") Victor pulls a gun on him. Victor was told to kill whomever says the codephrase in the greenroom. Pruitt tries to talk him out of shooting and then aims his own gun at Betty.

Scott and Mackie return to WENN, and Scott has deciphered Nazi codes in the Sentry Savings commercials, right down to their greeting, "buy barley futures." They go looking for Betty, and Scott enters the greenroom, repeating the codephrase. Victor swings his gun to Scott, and as doom seems imminent, Scott says, "Hey Betty, I love you."

Betty closes her eyes and repeats those three fatal words: "Buy barley futures."

The scene changes to the hallway, where we see the greenroom door (which Scott had previously been holding) swinging and a gunshot is heard.

And that's it for season three! We have until June to see if we can solve this perplexing puzzle, and let me tell you, the theories abound!
