The Jennings become involved in the development of biological weapons.

This is a strong start to the forth series that picks up where the previous series finale left off.

The plot doesn't start with the same murderous intent as the opening episodes of the past two series but the extreme danger associated with what Phillip and Elizabeth are assigned to acquire makes the espionage plot very high stake. With the truths that were revealed at the end of series 3, the dynamics amongst many of the characters have changed and become very compelling.

As always it is very well written, mixing story with great character development. I liked how the plot McGuffin works as a visual metaphor for the hidden truths about the main protagonists.

The cinematography and editing is as strong as ever, whilst performances are all excellent. Alison Wright is absolutely brilliant in this episode.

For me it's an 8.5/10 but I always round upwards.
