9/10

Very strong and compelling episode

I was gripped by this one for the riveting way the plot unfolds and the superb character development.

The story places some great moments within real life history that work well and moves the overarching show narrative forward superbly.

There are some very memorable scenes, but I can't go into deals without spoiling. Everything is mostly geared towards developing one character arc and it works perfectly. All those previous slow burning character focussed episodes pay off in what happens here.

Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell are brilliant once again.
