Episode 6 of Season 2 of "The Night Agent" kicks off with a haunting flashback to 13 years prior, when Catherine's partner, Noah, was tragically slain during a mission. The subsequent investigation unveiled a betrayal of monumental proportions—Peter Sutherland Senior was at the helm. This revelation serves as a stark reminder of why Catherine felt blindsided when the President imposed Peter upon her. Noah's demise left her reeling, teetering on the brink of abandoning her life as an agent.
Presently, Noor receives a call from Haleh and excuses herself hastily. As Noor steps out of the room, Peter brings Rose and Catherine up to date on the unfolding situation. Rose, with an earnest plea, urges Peter to disclose the truth to Noor, but both he and Catherine steadfastly refuse, citing the paramount importance of safeguarding their investigation.
Noor takes her call in private, her worries multiplying as Haleh warns her that Javad has cast a suspicious eye upon her. Haleh, though lacking complete details, is keen to keep Noor and her family out of the impending turmoil. Defying Peter and Catherine's counsel, Noor insists on returning to the embassy. She notices Rose's peculiar demeanor and seeks a confidential conversation. Rose, fabricating a tale, informs Noor that Farhad, though safe, has suffered a broken arm during a police altercation. Noor, relieved to know her brother is unharmed, entrusts Rose with the encryption password to the crucial documents.
Elsewhere, Javad and Abbas confront Solomon, seeking clarity on who else was privy to the list's existence. They flash a picture of Peter before Solomon, who promptly disclaims any prior acquaintance. Erring on the side of caution, Javad proposes that Abbas entrust him with the list for safekeeping.
Meanwhile, Peter and Catherine decipher the document, only to find it unconnected to Foxglove. Instead, it reveals a list of Iranian dissenters and their new hideouts. Yet, the Iranians should never have laid hands on this list in the first place. Fortunately, Peter and Catherine possess the means to trace the documents and uncover the perpetrator of the leak. Catherine, sensing they've overlooked something crucial, advocates for a fresh perspective in examining the case.At the Hague, Tomas, accompanied by his lawyer, confronts his father, Viktor. Learning that Viktor's intentions were never solely to expose American deceit doesn't phase Tomas; instead, it fuels his determination to counter his father's plan. Viktor aims to send a clear message to the Americans and disprove their false narrative regarding how Tomas stumbled upon a particular chemical weapon. Anticipating Tomas's reluctance, Viktor had already put Markus in motion, secretly following his orders. Determined to prove his father wrong, Tomas vows to step up and personally lead the revenge operation, showcasing his prowess.
Returning home, Tomas sets his sights on reasserting his authority over Markus. Meanwhile, at the embassy, Javad requests a private conversation with Noor in his office. Noor fabricates a tale of illness on the night of the party, claiming she was unwell and misplaced her phone. She steadfastly denies any involvement with Peter or Rose, explaining that Haleh was merely trying to shield her and had no part in the infiltration at the gathering. Though Javad lets the matter rest, he requests to retain Noor's phone to investigate if it has been tampered with.
After deceiving Noor, Rose is consumed by guilt and seeks solace in her therapist's office. She unburdens herself about Peter, prompting her therapist to caution her about a potential traumatic bond. Rose expresses her remorse for reconnecting with Peter. The therapist encourages her to delve deeply into her true feelings and appreciates her honesty. Subsequently, Rose's anger intensifies when Peter reveals that the document failed to provide any leads on Foxglove. She ponders if Farhad's sacrifice was in vain.
Elsewhere, Catherine stumbles upon a clue hinting at a potential breach at the French embassy. She trails the traitor and confronts her, leaving the perpetrator with no choice but to arrange a meeting between Catherine and Solomon. Catherine swiftly contacts Peter, instructing him to set up surveillance for the upcoming encounter within two hours. She proposes incorporating Rose into the operation to monitor the live feed.
Peter steadfastly refuses to burden Rose with yet another request for assistance, prompting Catherine to personally visit Rose's residence to seek her aid. She deftly begins by extolling Rose's indispensable role in the investigation, weaving in anecdotes about her uncle and aunt's illustrious careers as agents, and subtly employing emotional persuasion to sway Rose into lending a hand. Additionally, Catherine grants Rose emergency access to Foxglove, sweetening the deal.
Elsewhere, within the embassy's confines, Javad retrieves Noor, while Abbas delivers the heart-wrenching news of Farhad's demise and her mother's mysterious disappearance. The Iranians, assuming it to be a kidnapping, remain oblivious to the truth of it being an extraction operation. Noor, caught in a whirlwind of denial, exits the embassy with a shattered heart.
At Jacob's office, his instincts immediately flag the abrupt introduction of Jacqueline as peculiar. He cautions Solomon to proceed with caution and devises a trap for Jacqueline and her purported companion. The meeting proceeds as arranged, but from his vantage point, Solomon has his team discreetly searching for Peter. Rose, realizing that the assassins are intercepting their communications, promptly dials Peter's personal number to devise a strategy. Together, they orchestrate a clever maneuver to decoy the assassins and afford Peter the opportunity to race back to rescue Catherine.
Upon his return, Peter discovers Jacqueline lying lifeless and Catherine locked in a fierce battle with Solomon. The episode culminates in Solomon's arrest, leaving the viewer on a cliffhanger.
