Meanwhile, in London, Angela is still trying to figure out the details of the River House’s involvement with Roper. As an aside, let me just say that I am not Corky’s biggest fan right now I mean, I like some artfully thrown shade as much as the next girl but, between his continued denial of Jed’s agency as a grown woman and his sexually assaulting Jonathan mid-temper tantrum, he’s significantly less amusing to me than he once was. This does provide an opportunity for Jonathan to prove to Roper just how valuable he can be to the team: after somewhat subduing Corky, he approaches the table jostled by Corky’s outburst and offers apologies and recompense by covering their tab for a whole new meal (fun fact: the man whose temper he is assuaging is none other than John le Carre, the author of The Night Manager). The next day, the whole crew hits the town before parting ways, when Corky proceeds to throw a nasty, public tantrum, complete with punching a waiter and inappropriately groping and fondling Jonathan when he intervenes. Angela shows him the now-translated documents and asks Rex who he thinks “Halo” might be.Īfter Roper returns to Mallorca from Geneva, Jed makes a point of making up with him and Corky, after again receiving the cold shoulder from Roper, confronts Jonathan and makes clear that he knows about Jed’s nighttime visit. That tactic appears to have had precisely the opposite effect it was intended to as Rex just gets angry and responds by tripling Angela’s budget and giving her the go-ahead to hire more people onto her team. Up in London, Rex Mayhew, having recently not given in to Dromgoole’s bribe, is stalked and nearly run off the road on his way to the office.

While Jonathan panics, providing her with a cover story, Jed gets surly again. As Jonathan escorts her to the door, they kiss. Jed admits to having been a teen mom who left her son to be raised by her sister.

She takes the opportunity to confront him about what he was doing in “the Citadel” and he confronts her about what he found while he was snooping: a picture of her son. They spend the majority of the interaction being surly with one another. She convinces him that all she needs is a translation of the codes used and reassures him of her promise to keep him safe.īack on Mallorca, Jed sneaks to Jonathan’s accommodations after Roper leaves for Geneva. Meanwhile, in Madrid, Angela meets with Apo who is clearly agitated and reassessing his arrangement with her. Jed is clearly still incredibly upset with Roper-presumably, because she heard some things she did not want to hear in the midst of the drama between Sandy and his wife-and she is throwing daggers when she gets the chance, unfairly using Danny as pawn in her passive aggressive callouts. As he runs through the overview of how they conduct their transactions, Jed interrupts the meeting: Danny is about to leave and return to his mother’s custody. The episode opens with Roper telling Jonathan, now the new owner of Tradepass, how the game is played. And, as Jonathan becomes a bona fide arms trafficker, I’m amending my original assessment of Jonathan Pine’s character alignment from “chaotic good” to “chaotic neutral.” We also get to uncomfortably witness Corky’s public tailspin and some questionable, if predictable, decision-making. This week on The Night Manager, we learn a great deal more about Jed and about Angela.
