“There is a bad woman. A devil, disguised as a beautiful lady. Her name is Fran, and she stole you away from your parents on the day you were born.” - Claudia Horne

Worldwide, the Hubs are down, and Agent Carlos Sánchez is stuck in 2008 York with Zoey, tasked with protecting a young woman who has now been targeted at least twice by their enemies. However, that is the least of his worries, as Carlos has a huge secret, and it's about to come to light. Meanwhile, as Iulya determines to learn more about Lorenzo Martinez and his connection to Sarah, Sarah herself is facing a very grim future...

## Synopsis

### Carlos

Carlos Sánchez, born Noah Cunnington, is abducted at birth in 2020 by Claudia Horne and Rian Brady, and taken to 1999, where he spends the first eight years of his life in an orphanage, after which he is 'found' by Claudia, posing as his aunt. Later, she reveals to him the 'truth' - that he was abducted by the villanious Fran Grenouille - and that it is his duty to get revenge against her. Claudia and Arvin Costlemach begin conditioning him to hate Fran - and her younger counterpart Sarah Cunnington - while he remains ignorant of his true parentage, including Jack Harringer, whom Cosltemach tells Carlos will herald Sarah's transformation into Fran. Costlemach manipulates his life, getting him into the Academy and later the London Field Team, but he begins to question the things he has been told, and his supposed mission to kill Fran/Sarah.

### York 2008

Following the collapse of the three QIA Hubs, Carlos and Zoey Hallett are stuck in 2008, having once again saved Esther Wilson's life, this time from would-be assassin Nicholas Byrne. While Zoey looks after their prisoner, Carlos begins developing a romantic relationship with Esther, despite knowing she will be dead in less than a year. Byrne escapes custody and tries to kill Esther once more, but he is again stopped. Jack appears, reminding Carlos of the prophecy told to him by Costlemach, and takes them all back home to 2023. Later, after being confronted by Enora, Carlos confesses his life story, but is forgiven and reinstated into the team.

### Sarah

Sarah, in custody after her arrest, refuses all help, from both Rupa Shaw and Tasneem Hafiz, on the grounds that her alibi could cost Tom Burt his freedom.
