"If you're already swept up in the Emmy-winning phenomenon that is , you know that each season of the Apple TV+ hit follows a different book in Mick Herron's series about a group of misfit M15 agents. Slow Horses Season 5 (which premiered on Sept. 24) is based on London Rules, which covers the suspenseful, twist-filled investigation into a string of terrorist attacks that have a surprising connection to the underdog unit."
"J.K. Coe works out that the seemingly random violence is connected to Ho's relationship with Kim. You'll remember that Kim was introduced as Ho's "girlfriend," really a bot, in Season 4 of the show. But in the book, she's a real woman who uses Ho to access MI5 secrets. Specifically, she secures a document outlining the agency's blueprint for destabilizing countries. As Coe explains, Kim's group is using the system against the very country that created it."
A mass shooting in a small English village triggers further violent incidents, including a bombing at a zoo penguin enclosure and an attempted train explosion. Slough House agent Roddy Ho becomes a target, and J.K. Coe links the violence to Ho's relationship with Kim, a woman who uses Ho to access MI5 secrets and a document detailing the agency's blueprint for destabilizing countries. The blueprint's next stage targets the assassination of a populist leader, prompting the team to intervene, but an accidental paint-can injury kills MP Dennis Gimball. The attackers then advance to seizing control of the media during a memorial service.
