"I Have Friends Everywhere" is the fifth episode of the second season of the American science fiction political spy thriller drama television series Andor. It is the seventeenth episode of the series overall. It was written by Beau Willimon and directed by Ariel Kleiman.
The episode has four main storylines: Kleya's discovery that a bug of hers planted in Davo Sculdun's office may be found; Cassian's departure from Coruscant and contact with the Ghorman Front on Luthen's behalf; Syril's departure from Ghorman and contact with the ISB and his mother on Coruscant; and Wilmon's mission with Saw Gerrera's Partisans for Luthen. Other storylines include Bix grappling with her drug use in the safehouse after Cassian's departure, and the Ghorman Front's discovery of Syril's past on Morlana One.
"I Have Friends Everywhere" was released on Disney+ on April 29, 2025 as part of a three-episode block including "Ever Been to Ghorman?" and "What a Festive Evening". It received positive reviews from critics. Forest Whitaker's performance as Saw in the episode was especially praised, and earned him an Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series nomination at the 77th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
