The episode kicks off with a flashback in Iran, where Noor tries to save her activist friend Khaukat from government persecution. But when Khaukat is arrested, Noor realizes the brutal reality of speaking out. In the present, Noor is shocked to find Peter and Rose waiting for her instead of her CIA handler. They need her help to access a locked briefcase in Abbas’s study—one that might hold crucial information.
With her brother’s forced conscription looming, Noor has no time to waste. Peter hatches a plan: use an upcoming embassy party as cover. Noor agrees to steal Abbas’s key card while Rose distracts the guests. Meanwhile, Catherine is chasing a different lead. When she looks for Celeste, she finds that she has mysteriously vanished overnight. Mosley warns her to back off, but Catherine refuses.
At the embassy, Peter sneaks in as catering staff while Rose and Noor execute their plan. Rose manages to access the documents and snap photos using Noor’s phone. But as she exits, she is caught by Haleh. Quick thinking helps her cover-up, but Peter’s situation worsens. Javad grows suspicious, detains him, and questions him aggressively. Noor creates a distraction, allowing Peter to escape after a brutal fight. Back home, Peter and Rose clash over her refusal to leave when things go south, but they reconcile.
The next day, Peter and Catherine scatter Alice’s ashes, sharing a rare moment of reflection. Meanwhile, Noor demands immediate extraction for her family in exchange for the intel. Catherine insists it will take months, but Noor refuses to budge. As tensions rise, the truth about Foxglove’s deadly experiments begins to emerge.
This episode delivers high-stakes espionage at its finest. The infiltration sequence at the embassy is a nerve-wracking highlight, blending strategy, suspense, and close calls. Rose stepping up despite Peter’s reservations adds a compelling layer to their dynamic. Their argument afterward feels earned—Peter wants to protect her, but Rose refuses to be sidelined.
Noor’s dilemma is particularly gripping. She has risked everything, and her demand for her family’s safety feels justified. Peter and Catherine’s reluctance to act quickly makes them seem unfair, despite their logistical concerns. Meanwhile, Catherine’s pursuit of the Foxglove conspiracy leads to chilling revelations. The missing scientist, the stolen mobile chemical lab, and the U.S. government’s dark past suggest a catastrophe in the making.
The power struggles within Tomas’s family add another layer of intrigue. His desperation to prove himself makes him vulnerable to manipulation, and his strained relationship with Markus hints at deeper betrayals ahead.
With secrets unraveling and the threat of Foxglove growing, the stakes have never been higher. If Peter and his team don’t act fast, the consequences could be catastrophic.
