Evie, operating as Helen White, arrives in Fort Worth to retrieve a multimillion-dollar painting believed to be at oilman Ralph Tate’s mansion. Mr. Smith turns it into a contest among his operatives, promising a large bonus. Meeting Devon at a crowded Buffalo Wild Wings, Evie reviews the mansion’s baffling security. Devon flags that the system’s design feels like a trap and urges caution, but they plan a strike during Tate’s July 4 party, aiming for flawless timing.

In Austin, Evie secures access by seducing Tate’s son, Sawyer, rebranding herself as “Kitty.” At the party, Devon is disguised as a server and monitoring cameras. With competitors likely waiting for the fireworks, they move early. Evie switches into a server uniform, then heads toward the back corridors, presenting as staff while Devon coordinates camera cutoffs.

Instead of approaching the fortified trophy room, Evie enters the laundry room where the wiring density suggests the real cache. Using codes Devon supplies, she opens hidden compartments, swaps the real painting with a replica, and slips past a guard to the garage, dumping disguise and canvas into the trash for Devon to extract. A prior planning session in the Austin library revealed Devon’s deduction: the trophy room is bait, the laundry room the true vault.

After the successful lift, Evie blends back into the party until departing. Mr. Smith calls to confirm the bonus and admits the operation was a test to see who would reject the obvious path. George, the familiar courier in a UPS uniform, picks up the painting and cautions Evie that bigger jobs mean tighter surveillance. The win strengthens Evie’s status with Smith and underscores her and Devon’s precise partnership.
