"The agents at Slough House are renowned for the incompetence that landed them there, but there have been, of course, plenty of times when their instincts are sound, their actions are noble, and they're wildly underestimated, just like their flatulent boss.

"Alas. In this week's wildly entertaining episode, Slow Horses explores the entire spectrum of competence at Slough House, landing on a moment of such catastrophic misfortune that it's hard to guess how anyone will recover. ("Recover from what?" is a big question with an array of implications and consequences, but let's start with "crawl-under-the-table embarrassment" on a massive scale.)

Slough House agents alternate between incompetence and sudden competence, producing unpredictable outcomes that range from noble actions to humiliating failures. A recent collective maneuver freed the team from lockdown through Lamb's subtle leadership and group effort, but the team quickly experiences a catastrophic misfortune that threatens recovery and complicates the London mayoral election. Roddy remains under Park interrogation, outmatched by Flyte, while MI5 pursues his alleged girlfriend Tara after a panicked voicemail. The episode balances varied operations, surprising triumphs, and escalating chaos, leaving the unit's future and political consequences uncertain.
