Slow Horses: MI5 in Crisis as London Burns — The Truth Behind the Explosions

Episode 3 of Slow Horses Season 5 throws London straight into pandemonium — cars are exploding, traffic is choking the city, and no one seems to know who’s really behind it. The fuel companies deny fault, but the truth? A group of radical climate terrorists with a far bigger plan than anyone realizes.

As Diana reels in the chaos at MI5, she discovers a critical breach: Roddy Ho — bless his delusional heart — has been honey-trapped by Tara, a spy with perfect timing. One misguided crush later, and MI5’s firewall is Swiss cheese.

Meanwhile, Jackson Lamb’s ragtag team at Slough House is stuck under watch, but they’re never truly out of the game. With Coe muttering about “destabilization theories” and Emma trying to keep them contained, the group soon learns that this isn’t about politics or oil at all — it’s about power through perception.

When an explosion at Regent’s Park Zoo kills 22 penguins, the nation’s grief is weaponized. The attack shifts public attention and sets the stage for something darker — the assassination of a populist leader. And just when you think it can’t get weirder, we learn the climate protestor with the wild green hair? He’s Jaffrey’s son.
