Power

Power is the seventeenth episode of the third season of QIA.
==Summary==
The team face insurmountable odds as they race to stop the assassination of Amber Harvey, the British Prime Minister.
==Blurb==
"It’s the Prime Minister... if she dies live on television, and we could have stopped it – it’ll be the end of everything.” - Enora Gallou 
With everything in crisis and the Prime Minister herself the target of an assassination attempt that can only be stopped by the QIA - which is currently being disbanded and with half the Field Team under arrest - things are reaching breaking point. Meanwhile, a dangerous enemy has been provoked, and a tragic reckoning is coming...
==Synopsis==
Zoey Hallett tries desperately to convince Amber Harvey to give the London Hub another chance to prove itself, while both remain unaware that Amber is the target of the Pariah. With intervention from Rupa Shaw and Beverly Charlton, Hafiz, Ethan and Iulya are released from police custody. As the team assemble at Downing Street, they face further problems as they are not permitted to get near Amber. The Pariah attacks but Sarah - despite the side-effects she is suffering - Jumps with them all and the battle ensues. Employing the same technology as they did for the bomb during the Bath mission, they are able to defeat the Pariah and save the Prime Minister, who had already proclaimed her support for the QIA.
Hafiz ends up in a firefight with Donna Kent, who gets away, though Hafiz recovers Kent's laptop. Meanwhile, Cameron Campbell, who had set this whole thing up with help from Fran Grenouille, is furious and, blaming Fran, he plans a bold new strategy - by killing Sarah in the present, he will stop Fran from existing in the future and thus reset everything.
In the aftermath of the attack, Amber Harvey reiterates her support for the QIA and urges the public to do likewise. During a celebration back at the Hub, Hafiz tells Zoey that she has earned a permanent place on the team, while Carlos receives new orders from Claudia - he is to give access to the Hub to two men who are coming to kill Sarah. This he does, though he is distraught about it, but the two men sent by Campbell fail, with Zoey killing one in self-defence and the other being knocked out and arrested. 
While all of this has been happening, Lucita Cadamon - in London and seeking revenge for the abduction of her daughter - breaks into Tom's house and murders both Lauren and Grace.
Six days later, the Prometheus crisis is all but over and the QIA are, for the first time since the Prometheus Leak, in public favour. However, Elijah Phelps is furious, and is determined to end the QIA once and for all. Kara Mildner informs Brent Hall that he is to be taken to Geneva, but Hall manages to sway one last deal - Lucita, the Reclaimers and Fran, in exchange for remaining in London for two more months. 
Carlos is given a final ultimatum by Claudia - either he kills Sarah, or she will kill him. Campbell, wrapping up loose ends, has Donna Kent killed. The team begin planning a new mission. 
Hall's new deal is eventually agreed upon, and - under the supervision of Anna and Iulya - he begins to delve into his old network again.
