In FUBAR season 2, Greta Nelso is a former East German spy hired by Dante Cress to shut down America's power grids, a move intended to trigger a global economic collapse. Greta and Luke share a romantic past that dates back to the Cold War era. Despite her lingering feelings for the CIA operative, Greta refuses his offer to comply and often outsmarts him at every turn to complete the mission.

However, she eventually discovers that Dante's real goal is to activate the nukes and start a nuclear armageddon that would destroy 90% of humans. Horrified by the role she unknowingly played in the conspiracy, Greta joins Luke to stop Dante from carrying out his evil plan.

In the finale of FUBAR season 2, Dante launches a missile from a nuclear silo, anticipating a preemptive strike from Russia that can culminate in a nuclear war. The only way to prevent the crisis is to divert the missile back to earth before it leaves the U.S. airspace and is noticed by Russia. A regretful Greta takes on the mission, with the understanding that it would end her life.

She steps inside the missile and successfully deactivates its warhead, landing it at the base of a lake in Utah. To everyone's surprise, Greta survives by protecting herself in a special kind of foam. However, since the CIA still considers her a criminal, Emma decides to report Greta as dead, giving her the chance to start fresh.
