Who can you trust?

That’s the theme of Season 4 of Covert Affairs, now that Annie (Piper Perabo) is “in” with Henry (Gregory Itzin) after accepting a mysterious mission that he gave her in a folder. The mission will take her to Colombia and put everyone at the DPD in the crosshairs, not to mention her new relationship with Auggie (Christopher Gorham).

“We’re telling the rise of a young CIA operative. The career is the spine of the show. We’re testing her skills and abilities and whatnot. This season is her toughest test,” co-creator/executive producer Matt Corman tells TVGuide.com. “It’s going to affect everyone in a way Annie and the audience have never seen before.”

All this stemming from that little folder. So what’s in the folder? And are Annie and Auggie doomed? Here are seven things to expect from Season 4:

1. It starts off with a bang: The season doesn’t pick up in the diner with Annie and Henry, but kicks off with a tantalizing flash-forward with Hill Harper’s new character Calder that provides more questions than answers. “This seemed like an opportunity to do … something that reels you in from the beginning and hopefully keeps you interested for the rest of the season,” Corman says. “It both teases what’s going to happen and introduces us to Calder in a dynamic way. That also frames how you view Calder when he shows up in the main story.”

2. What’s in the file? Don’t worry. The contents of the folder will be revealed post-haste, and as we previously reported, it concerns not one, but two people. “I had no idea who it was going to be, but I think it’s a really great story line the way it’s working out. That was the crazy thing — I don’t think Matt and Chris knew what was going to be in it when they wrote [the file in]!” Gorham says with a laugh. “They take these insane leaps and it’s very Annie Walker. They leap before they look and they figure it out on the way down.” Corman and co-cretor/executive producer Chris Ord, however, say they’ve always known who would be in the file and purposely made it two people because “it makes it that much more complicated for Annie,” Corman says.
