Plot
Cheryl was targeted for a kidnapping, but she mislead them into thinking Pam was her. When Cheryl gets to ISIS, she explains her tardiness by revealing that she was the target of a kidnapping. When Malory asks why anyone would want to kidnap her, Cheryl reveals that she is a member of the Tunt family (not Gimble as it says on her W-4). The Tunts are a wealthy railroad family. Cheryl proves this by taking the ISIS crew to her mansion home. She then reveals she's worth about $1 Billion. Malory decides ISIS needs to protect Cheryl, for a fee of course.
The kidnappers beat Pam, but she's tough enough to withstand it and insult the kidnappers. When they realize they have the wrong woman, they call ISIS using a voice changer. As Archer and Lana try to convince the kidnappers to let Pam go, Malory gets on the phone and tries to make a deal with the kidnappers. They can't agree to switch Pam with Cheryl, and Malory states she thinks Pam is only woth $5,000.
Before Pam is killed, she agrees to help the kidnappers get Cheryl, and they go off to sneak into ISIS. Cyril, upon realizing Cheryl is worth a lot of money, kidnaps her and handcuffs her to a pipe away from all the others. While calling ISIS and using a voice changer, he attempts to get a ransom from ISIS, but Lana catches him.
Archer finds Cheryl, who he believes 'kidnapped herself.' Once they are with the others, Pam and the
ISIS agents ready weapons for a shootout.
kidnappers arrive. A shootout commences, with all the kidnappers being killed.
However, instead of being grateful, Pam is extremely upset with Malory, for putting a low price on her life. The others stay back as Pam approaches Malory, ready to strike her. Malory asks is anyone is going to help her, and Lana states, 'Nope.'
