Gunmen storm the Turkish Consulate and hold several people, including many senior Turkish diplomats, hostage. Among the hostages is Zoe who is working undercover to infiltrate the Consulate. The gunmen are largely Kurds who want to gain some leverage over the Turkish government. However part of the group consists of ex-military Britons who have something very different in mind.
A very good episode of Spooks. The situation is a bit unique in that it is thrust upon MI-5 due rather than them selecting and planning the operation. The presence of Zoe in the hostage situation also forces that issue.
Good to see Tessa (Jenny Agutter) get a large share of the limelight for once. We also get to learn more about her past which is also fairly novel.
