Explicații TMDb: Jackson Lamb is on high alert after a former spy is found dead. Min and Louisa are tempted by an offer from outside Slough House.
Explicații Wikipedia: Former field agent Richard Bough, aka Dickie Bow, recognises and follows a man who tortured him during the Cold War, only to die on a rail replacement bus from an apparent heart attack. Jackson Lamb investigates, finding Bough's hidden phone under the seat with the message "cicada", and gets the team at Slough House to look deeper.
River speaks with his grandfather about Bow’s death. David discusses the "cicada" theory of Russian sleeper agents embedded in British society, which MI5 dismissed as a hoax after no sleepers were found, and they concluded that the programme's alleged mastermind, Alexander Popov, did not exist. He tells River that Bow went AWOL in East Berlin and was assumed to have defected, but returned drunk. Bow claimed to have been kidnapped and tortured by Popov, who force-fed him brandy, but was fired. David dismisses River's theory that Bow’s death was the work of the FSB or related to a conspiracy, but warns River to be careful.
Min and Louisa are seconded to Webb to provide background security for a clandestine meeting at The Glasshouse between him and Arkady Pashkin, a representative of UK-based energy oligarch and defector Ilya Nevsky. Ho and newcomer Shirley Dander retrieve CCTV footage from the bus and train, showing that the man Bow was following discreetly poisoned him and then took a further train to Stroud in The Cotswolds. River approaches Lamb, revealing that he knows about the cicada conspiracy and is going to Stroud to pursue the matter further.
