Jai packed his bags — but he didn’t go to Phoenix.

Covert Affairs‘ Sendhil Ramamurthy: Jai becomes a force to be reckoned with

Taking matters into his own hands for once, after Joan’s shoddy reassignment in the summer finale, Jai (Sendhi Ramamurthy) slyly worked everyone like any good CIA officer would.

That ultimately forced Henry to pull “all” of his strings to get Jai the new gig.

So what does the director of special projects do? And what does this mean for Joan (Kari Matchett), Arthur (Peter Gallagher), Annie (Piper Perabo), Auggie (Christopher Gorham) and, of course, Henry? Ramamurthy answers our burning questions about the twist and makes a promise for Season 3.
