## Plot

River pukes while Lamb asks Louisa for her phone. Min gives it to him, as Lamb tells them all that they need to disappear. Lamb orders them to get Ho and Loy, also telling Cartwright that he would see them later. Cartwright tells Min and Louisa that he recognized the head as Louisa says that he was one of them. As they leave, the Dogs make it to the house.

As Curly, Larry and Zeppo escape, Curly says that he did what he did because Moe was a traitor who would still be waiting with them for the cops to show up. He explains that they would be in jail, but Larry says that that makes no sense because he organized everything, but Curly says that they were being set up. Zeppo says that they were not supposed to see it through and he killed him while they were playing cards. They discuss whether to let Hassan go, but Curly does not want to. He starts saying their names, which causes the pair to get mad at him.

Diana looks on as MI5 works on finding Hassan. She gets a call from the Dogs who tell her that the victim was Adam Black, but Lamb was gone and the Slow Horses had huddled. She takes a call from First Desk, telling Ingrid that everything was fine, but Lamb had gone AWOL, also blaming Cartwright for what happened to Sid. Ingrid instructs her to gather the Slow House and orders her to fix everything swiftly.

Lamb walks through the streets, buying a hat from a man.

Min, Louisa, and River ride in Min's car, talking about Alan Black, who they all knew. They discuss how Lamb knew the address and know about both him and Taverner. River says that he does not believe Lamb would leave them and trusts he will have a play. River supports Lamb, so Louisa agrees to try it out. They remember Ho and Loy's addresses, so they split up in order to reach them.

Walking into a store, Lamb looks around while disguised. Later, Webb shows up and asks to see security footage.

Diana asks about Hassan and is told by Duffy that multiple vehicles were being trapped. The Dog asks what is going on, and Diana says that the head of Slow Horse was panicking because a Slow Horse op had gone south. She tells him not to tell anyone, but instructs the Dogs to get them, adding that she would like him to hurt Lamb.

Curly tells the men that they needed to focus because there is only one way out, which was on a boat. Curly says that Simmonds wanted them to take no action, which scares all the men. They all wonder what they would do without Simmonds as Zeppo suggests that they leave the kid. Curly agrees to use the boat after that.

Min and Louisa leave a car, but they see that Loy had already been approached by the Dogs. Min kisses Louisa in order to distract the Dogs, but they race to follow them after that.

Cartwright looks for Ho, who is listening to music while looking at pictures of him with a lot of photoshopped muscles. A Dog starts ringing his bell, so he approaches the door. The Dog sees a man open the door for him, but punches him when he sees he is not Ho. Cartwright tells Ho that they need to leave.

Min wants to talk about his kiss with Louisa, but she wants to evade MI5 security. Min asks if they could still be a thing after escaping and Louisa says that it gets less likely the more he mentions it.

Webb and Duffy see that Lamb had been in the store and see he had purchased a flight to Istambul. However, Webb, sees that he had also booked flights from Heathrow, Stansted, London, Manchester, and Birmingham. However, Diana knows where he is going.

Catherine gets knocks at her door, seeing it was Lamb there. He tells her to get dressed immediately.

River tells Ho that they need to move fast because the Dogs are after them, which confuses him. River walks into a restaurant and grabs keys. Ho says he does not want to be involved in whatever is happening, but River says he already is.

Diana gets called and told that Loy was downstairs, so she visits him in an interrogation room. She tells him that things are relentless for her at the moment. Loy says that he had never been to that part of the Park and she says that she does not want anyone to know he is there. He says that he has not told his wife he does not work there anymore and she says that it had been a year. He asks what that is about and admits that he lied to investigators when he panicked and had sent an email, where he makes fun of Tearney's outfit at a press conference, saying that the head of MI5 was part of ISIS. She tells him that in order to bring him back to the Park, she needs to know that he learned his lesson and he says that he has. She tells him that she could not promise anything and reminds him that nobody had gone from the Slough House to the Park. He mentions not having seen any unusual activity at the Slough House and Diana offers him to be part of the solution to the Slough House's problems.

River tells Ho to get him Alan Black's service record as he tells him that he is confused as to how he even knew where he lived. River says that he had overlooked a massive weak spot in his defenses and Lamb had followed him home. Ho says that he did not know why Black had captured Ahmed as River tries to remember how he knew Alan Black.

In the interrogation room, Diana hands Loy a picture of Alan, who he recognizes. He says that he had not seen him since he had left Slough House and had not seen him with Lamb either. Diana says that that makes him just another problem.

River takes them to the hospital, which confuses Ho since it was not Blake's grave. However, River says that he needs to make sure Sid is okay.

At Catherine's house, Lamb sees a van approach as Catherine hears messages left by Diana asking her to come to the Park since Lamb had gone rogue. Lamb tells her to hurry up and she asks what Taverner meant with Charles' death, but he says that she could leave with him or people that are less friendly, so she goes with him.

At the hospital, River asks to see Sid, which makes him get caught by MI5 immediately and the Dogs go after him.

Catherine asks Lamb if River had gone rogue, but he says that Baker had been hurt and Moody is dead. He adds that there is probably a C&C out on all of them at that very moment. They get off an elevator and into the street, where Duffy and Webb see them. Webb asks to see if he had a weapon and Lamb tells Duffy to shut the kid up. Duffy pats him and tells Webb that he could drive as they escort the two to their car.

Ho sees the Dogs arrive at the hospital and decides to leave Cartwright there.

River makes it to Sid's room, where she sees her lying unconscious, remembering their conversation in the car and thanking her for what she helped him remember. He sees a Dog chase after him, so he starts running and manages to knock the man down. Leaving, he tries to find the car, but sees that Ho had abandoned him.

Curly is guided by Larry as they move and plan where to leave Hassan. Zeppo apologizes for what he had done to Hassan, which angers Curly since they were not sorry when they killed their troops and raped their women. Curly decides that he would kill Hassan and says that it all comes down to whether or not they have the balls to stop him.

Diana gets a call from Duffy, who tells her that both he and Webb had caught Lamb and Catherine. Lamb asks to be interrogated in a room with a window as Diana removes Loy from his chair, telling him that Catherine would be coming in. When Diana tells Loy that she would be telling his family that he was linked to Black's murder, says that he definitely remembers Black and Lamb together.

In the car, Lamb sneezes, asking if they would be taken to the basement cells. He says he knows that Slough House would be blamed for the disaster, also adding that of course she would rather have the kid die than admit it was her fault, asking Duffy what he believed. Duffy says that the last time he was in the Park, Diana was in charge, so he would do what she said until that changed, but he says that finding the kid is more important. Sneezing, Lamb wants a tissue, but Catherine wants a question answered first, wondering about the voicemail she had received. Lamb says that he would tell her later and she pulls a gun out, telling Webb that she would shoot his foot if she needed to. Duffy and Webb get out of the car and are left behind after that.

As Lamb and Catherine drive away, Lamb congratulates her on how she is full of surprises.

After being left behind, River runs across the street fast as Cho is captured.
