本事:(感謝本劇翻譯工作者劉鴻輝提供)
本集內容繁複多變,盤根錯節。原文劇名Charade意為「猜字遊戲」,且是已故巨星奧黛麗赫本(Audrey Hepburn)與卡萊葛倫(Cary Grant)聯合主演的經典驚悚電影<謎中謎>之原劇名,本劇與該片名同內容不同,但頗有異曲同工之妙,也諷刺好萊塢糾葛的內幕與矛盾。本集中蒙妮卡以酷似奧黛麗赫本於<謎中謎>和<第凡內早餐>中的造型登場,相當清麗脫俗,令人驚豔。
從未到過洛杉磯的蒙妮卡受派至此擔任知名電影經紀人莉比葛雷瑟的助理。莉比為人高傲冷酷,不講情面,其母薇拉曾是知名電影明星,作品<救贖之字>是其畢生代表作。踏入電影界的蒙妮卡很快發現一切不如想像中光鮮亮麗。爾後她發現莉比的劇作家父親巴德曾遭誣陷為共產黨員並誣陷入獄,隨後更抑鬱而終。但巴德死因究竟為何?謎中之謎,撲朔迷離。真相一旦揭開,將使莉比崩潰…

With the approach of a special tribute to the victims of the Hollywood Blacklist to be given by the Hollywood Screen Guild, Tess and Monica arrive to help Libby Glaser, a powerful Hollywood agent, learn the truth about her Blacklisted father's last days. Monica arrives as Libby's new assistant and quickly impresses Libby with her "connections" by managing to connect her with the head of the Hollywood Screen Guild. Libby learns that the Guild has chosen to restore her father's name to a film he made during the Blacklist Era when he was forced to write under a pseudonym, and that they want Libby's mother, Vera King, to present the award with her co-star in the show, Clive Hathaway. Vera flatly refuses to present the award with Clive which surprises Libby as he was her father's best friend. Simultaneously, home movies from Libby's childhood mysteriously appear from an unknown source and Libby's memory is jarred as she views them.
When Libby confronts her mother, Vera tells her Clive is the one who ruined her father's career by naming him as a communist and that he didn't die in an accident, he killed himself. Libby then sends Monica on a search for her father's FBI file and it is soon delivered by Tess. Tess then explains to Monica that she was Budd's angel and that she was unable to convince him not to kill himself, suffering under the burden ever since. She continues to say that Budd wrote a note to Libby just before driving his car over the cliff but that the note was lost during the fire. Libby, now armed with her father's FBI file, plans to ruin Clive Hathaway as he ruined her father. As the Blacklist ceremony is in progress, Vera begs Libby not to expose Clive, finally telling her the complete truth, that she had "one sad weekend" with Clive and that he was her real father. Now wrecked, Libby enters the stage intent on ruining Clive. Monica then freezes time and asks Libby to forgive. As time resumes, Libby then realizes that she is no longer holding the FBI file but the note from her father asking her to forgive those involved and telling her that she will always be his little girl. Libby then gives an emotional speech, denouncing the tactics of the Blacklist.
