After conducting numerous failed attempts to breach Chinese hackers, an opportunity to obtain sophisticated coding arises that could create revolutionary progress in the field of intelligence. A favorite nightclub for Defense Minister's entourage becomes the center of attention, requiring a resurfacing partnership between the two agencies.
While Joseph observes the dancefloor, Mary aims to form a bond with Wing A Ding's bartender and gather intel that could benefit the team. However, she receives unexpected assistance from her ex-boyfriend, who currently tends bar at the nightclub. Meanwhile, Tarrant takes advantage of his brief incarceration to conduct a thorough investigation on the inside prison operations.
Although the team's primary focus is to attain the required intelligence and prevent the Chinese from benefiting from it, they soon realize that a more substantial problem is at hand. In a race against time, the team endeavors to prevent a strike on British soil by employing every tactic available to them, including forming unlikely alliances, all while avoiding detection.
Joseph confronts his ex-wife, who's become a pawn in a terrorist's plan, and disarmingly attempts to reason with her while trying to extract the intelligence the team needs. With Mary's assistance, he forges forward, fighting for his country and his family.
As matters intensify, a deal with the devil is necessary to forestall a possible terrorist attack, and everyone from the highest ranks of government to the least-experienced spy must be adequately prepared to stop the attack. The Intelligence team battles to save not just their country but also their personal lives, as they encounter unforeseen challenges on their journey.
The team's moral and tactical approach are put to the test when one of their own gets critically injured, requiring a quick strategy shift to ensure the mission's success. The Intelligence team must come together to surmount daunting odds with time running out and count on their bonds to secure a successful mission outcome.
The episode closes on a cliffhanger, leaving the audience anxiously anticipating the next installment of espionage and intrigue.
