The episode starts pretty much where the last one left off, with the infected man being taken into a local hospital and Adam putting everyone init immediately under quarantine. Ros follows a lead about the kidnappers and finds their badly burnt bodies and one they believe to be Zaf's. Harry orders the team to track down the vaccine so they each bring in a spy from Russia, France and India. While Harry grabs the American. In an old spy's basement they interrogate them and find out the Russians have the vaccine and the France claim they know where Zaf is. Here it gets slightly complicated! Ros goes after the French to find Zaf while Jo and Adam with the Russian spy get the vaccine, by this point Adam is infectious and coughing up blood! They get the vaccine and things turn nasty, Adam's runs off with the vaccine leaving Jo to fight for her life! Needless to say she survives as does nearly everyone else as Adam gets to the hospital in time! This episode leaves many things unanswered most notably the whereabouts of Zaf and whether he is even still alive! My guess is that he is as spooks surely would not pass on an opportunity to murder one of their own on screen! Also in a first for spooks they nearly killed of all 4 spooks during the course of 1 episode! There is a cliff hanger at the end which I won't ruin for you all! The next 8 weeks are going to be interesting as they've managed to annoy the Americans, Iranian's, Indian's, French and Russian all of which are bound to want to get their own back! It should be good!moreless

ADD NOTES
- As with the previous series, this and subsequent episodes were broadcast first on BBC Three at 22.30, a week in advance of broadcast on BBC One. The BBC treats the BBC Three broadcasts as previews for audiences in digital households, and uses the (later) BBC One broadcast date as the official date of broadcast. This site follows that convention. Edit
