‘CIA’ Reveals Colin’s Backstory — Or Does It?
The episode highlights Colin’s secretive past and emotional detachment as operational vulnerabilities while introducing threats involving incendiary devices, according to showrunner Mike Weiss.
- On Monday, March 3 the series' second episode centers on an upstate operation involving Mona, a foreign officer who claims to defect, advancing Colin's backstory.

- Ambiguity in Colin's backstory fuels viewer debate about its truth as producers warn incendiary devices placed in early episodes will detonate by season's end.
