With Nathaniel Bloom in hospital, Nessa is assigned a new bodyguard, who she quickly realizes is an MI6 agent assigned by Hugh Hayden-Hoyle to keep an eye on her activities. Commander Garrett of the Metropolitan Police investigates Kasim's kidnapping and both the Palestinian and Israeli representatives in London deny any involvement. The hospitalized kidnapper is identified as Michael Gatz, a former member of the Intelligence Corps. Before Garrett can question him, Gatz receives a telephone message and commits suicide. Garrett advises Kasim's mother and the Steins they will just have to wait until the kidnappers make contact. Hayden-Hoyle interviews Samir Meshal's wife who refuses to believe her husband had a mistress. He also interviews the mistress, Rebecca Lantham, who is clearly lying to him.
