Edward's captor is revealed. John prepared for a dangerous act in his first step toward the assassination of Cantar Walley, just as Walley's elite security team arrives in Paris.

John gets closer to completing his perilous assignment, only to have matters jeopardized by a childhood mistake. Friends get involved in an unprecedented and gravely consequential way.

Recent events tell a story that could reveal John's plan to assassinate Cantar Walley, so John takes preemptive measures, risking himself to divert attentions and create the illusion that the story is over.

John acts against standard protocol, which alerts adversaries of his whereabouts and necessitates the abandonment of the John Lakeman cover identity, jeopardizing all.

Drunk and stoned, John breaks into Cantar Walley's compound. Alice considers the cost of betraying her father-in-law in order to protect her husband. In the meantime, Agathe finds a powerful new ally.

All hell breaks loose.
