*“Dorody is gone. But more importantly, so is Enora.”* - Sarah Cunnington

Having suffered a horrendous betrayal and defeat while in New Philadelphia, the QIA of the London Hub must try and pick up the pieces, and make sense of all that’s happened. However, Agent Sarah Cunnington knows that there is a traitor in her midst, and is determined to expose them before anyone else gets hurt…

## Synopsis

Hafiz and Ethan recover in hospital, and Sarah meets Ethan's girlfriend, Kate Lewis.

In the wake of the betrayal in New Philadelphia, Sarah gives Hall the evidence that Tom is the traitor; Hall says he will have Drew Glenn verify it.

Sarah spends the night with Ethan, and they begin to reconcile their relationship. In the morning, the evidence having been verified, Sarah and Hafiz go to confront Tom. However, after speaking with him, they become convinced that he is in fact innocent, which casts suspicions on Drew. Setting a trap for him, Sarah calls Drew and asks him to come to their flat.

Meanwhile Patrick Kearney, who has been posing as a doctor, abducts Ethan and takes him to Sarah and Hafiz's flat. They are disturbed by DCI Rupa Kalsi, who is investigating the abduction. After Kalsi leaves, Drew arrives. Patrick panics and tries to shoot Sarah, but Drew takes the bullet for him and dies, unfortunately taking the truth about his verification with him. Sarah Jumps to Greenwich, 2019, to witness the events where Tom was seen speaking with a Reclaimer, Clive Goodwin. When she returns, Ethan has already left.

Sarah Jumps straight to the Hub Chamber, where she confronts Ethan just as he arrives, having witnessed him meeting Goodwin, not Tom, and therefore revealing him as the actual mole. Ethan, appearing remorseful, tells Sarah he loves her, then Jumps. When Cian checks the log, he finds it has been scrambled, meaning Ethan could be anywhere, any time, with no way of tracking him.
