Plot []
A tense standoff ensues between Alex and Jones, culminating in Alex's emotional revelation that Scorpia claims Jones ordered the hit on his father. Jones attempts to reason with Alex, leading to his arrest by MI6 agents.
Blunt arrives, ensuring Jones's safety, as the department stages a scene to deceive their enemies. Meanwhile, Yassen observes the charade, believing it to be genuine. Nile and Julia prepare for a devastating attack on London using cyanide nanoparticles.
At MI6, Blunt offers Alex a deal for information on Scorpia, but Alex has little to offer. Released, he reunites with Jack, Tom, and Kyra, facing Britain's impending crisis.
Jones proposes using Alex against Scorpia, contingent on Blunt revealing the truth about John Rider's loyalty to MI6. Yassen confronts Julia, learning of her manipulation and betrayal.
Blunt takes Alex to the bridge, disclosing John's true allegiance to MI6 and the department's ploy to protect him. Shocked by the revelations, Alex vows to assist MI6 in dismantling Scorpia for good.
