A moral dilemma for Dimitri

Surprisingly the main story of the series takes a back seat this episode despite the fact that Tariq died because of something he had found. The reason for this is that radiation was detected on a baggage trolley at a London airport and a known anarchist terrorist was on that flight. The only way to get near him is to get to know the one person he appears to care about: his sister. Dimitri is tasked with getting close to her via the internet dating site she frequents although he feels awkward seducing an apparently innocent woman; however with the chance that a dirty bomb could be detonated in London he has little choice. He soon meets her brother and sets about trying to find out what he is up to.

This was another gripping episode even though there weren't loads of explosions, gunfights or chases; in fact the most violent moment was a brief pub brawl! The episode was gripping because the viewer never knew if Dimitri's cover was about to be blown. The way he had to get close to his target's sister also provided some believable moral dilemmas and good character development. Away from the dirty bomb story the Home Secretary is trying to poach Ruth for his department and Harry is still trying to find out who has being impersonating him; while these events weren't the most exciting they did keep the main story of the series going and gave the episode a good conclusion.
