This episode opens with a flashback to nine months earlier when Peter meets Catherine in Germany after his processing. Initially mistaking her for his handler, he learns she’s his case officer. She briefs him on a mission in Thailand, where Night Action is tracking a leak in Bangkok.
Catherine expresses doubts about putting Peter in the field, but he’s determined to prove himself. She introduces him to Alice, his new boss, who warns him to sever all personal ties, including Rose. Ultimately, Peter cuts contact with Rose and switches his phone, prioritizing his mission.
Back in the present, Peter and Rose barely escape a gunfight, pursued by Bangkok gunmen. They retreat to Peter’s hideout, where Rose demands answers. Peter, still unsure if his location is compromised, cautiously fills her in. Meanwhile, at the Iranian embassy, Noor secretly meets a CIA officer, hoping to defect. However, her intel is deemed useless. Desperate, she reveals that Ambassador Abbas has been secretly meeting an American intelligence official. Without proof, she must find evidence before the CIA will act.
Elsewhere, Peter and Rose track Ethan’s father, Warren, suspecting he’s on the run. They arrive at Ethan’s school too late—Warren has already taken him. Confronting Ethan’s mother, they deduce Warren might flee via a Long Island airport. Before they can act, Catherine learns of their involvement and starts trailing them. At the airport, Peter stops Warren, who is arrested, but Ethan feels betrayed upon learning Peter’s true identity. Rose decides to return to California, urging Peter not to lose himself in vengeance. Before Warren can reveal vital intel about a classified program called Foxglove, he is assassinated by a sniper, leaving Peter scrambling for cover.
This episode delivers tension, action, and an intriguing new subplot. Peter and Rose’s reunion feels bittersweet, with past emotions clashing against their dangerous reality. Their chemistry remains strong, and despite Peter’s efforts to protect Rose, she proves she won’t be sidelined so easily. Night Action’s failure to track Peter, while Rose finds him effortlessly, is an ironic flaw that raises questions about their efficiency.
The Iranian embassy subplot adds a fresh layer of suspense. Noor’s predicament is compelling—her desperate bid for defection and her risky investigation into Abbas’s dealings make her a character to watch. The subtle chemistry between Noor and Javad hints at complications ahead. Is he a potential ally or a future threat?
Warren’s death is the most shocking moment. Just as he starts revealing secrets, a sniper silences him, reinforcing that whoever is behind Foxglove will go to extreme lengths to protect it. Who was “Arthur”? How deep does this conspiracy run? And can Peter survive long enough to uncover the truth?
This episode balances personal stakes and high-stakes espionage well, leaving us eager for what’s next. With Peter now holding Warren’s phone, the answer – and more danger – are just a call away.
