At the dawn of the climactic episode, Alex tendered a heartfelt apology to Jones for brandishing a gun at her. She gracefully dismissed any lingering animosity, jesting that he owed her a brand-new fridge. Jones, who had served as John's handler and knew his wife intimately, carried a profound sense of responsibility for their untimely demise, vowing to safeguard Alex at every turn.
Realizing that regaining Julia's trust was the sole path to unveiling her sinister schemes, Alex orchestrated a daring escape from the agency's clandestine facility. During a subsequent briefing, Alex was stunned to learn that Julia had already poisoned him with cyanide nanoparticles. Before he could digest this revelation, the Madam Secretary stormed in,Announce the suspension of departmental operations. Alex was immediately arrested, but Jones and Carly joined forces to resist and helped him successfully escape.
With desperation in his voice, Alex contacted the emergency number provided by Julia, pleading for immediate extraction following his narrow escape from custody. Julia acquiesced and swiftly dispatched her operatives, tasking Nile with personally interrogating Alex to verify his tale. Nile grilled Alex, probing for any signs of deceit or skepticism.
Convinced of Alex's sincerity, Nile escorted him to the Abbey Tower, where Julia had secreted the transmitter. Upon encountering Alex, Julia initially feigned jubilation over his safe return, praising him for completing his mission unscathed. However, her jubilation quickly turned to fury as she realized that Alex had deceived her and knew the truth about the invisible sword. It was then revealed that Julia had once been deeply enamored with John Rider, but her love turned to hatred after being betrayed and humiliated by his lies. In a fit of vengeance, Julia resolved to eliminate his entire family.
Julia's henchmen seized Alex, and she activated the transmitter, its lethal frequencies commencing a relentless assault on Alex's health. He was wracked with intense chest pains, teetering on the brink of a fatal cardiac arrest. But just in the nick of time, MI6 arrived on the scene, affording Alex a fleeting opportunity to break free. Cawley warned Alex to flee the transmitter's lethal radius, as its frequency could be fatal. Yet, Alex disregarded the warning and instead charged towards the rooftop, intent on disabling the transmitter.
Despite facing fierce resistance from Nile, Alex managed to deactivate the transmitter. However, the former, with his superior combat skills, overwhelmed Alex. But Alex wrestled control of a gun and fired at the wires, disabling the transmitter once more. Meanwhile, as Julia attempted to flee, she was gunned down by Jones, bringing an abrupt end to her nefarious schemes.
With Julia's laptop now in their possession, the Department gained access to a trove of information regarding Scorpia's bases and operatives. It was only a matter of time before they tracked down and arrested every last one of them. Jones tendered her resignation letter, yearning for a life of normality. However, Blunt refused to accept her resignation and instead stepped down himself, appointing Jones as the new head of MI6. Jones met with Alex and returned his father's service medals, which had been confiscated from him before he went undercover.
With a pat on the back, Jones prodded Alex to return to university and complete his education, teasingly telling him to return when the world needed saving again.
