While on a family holiday to Corfu, Tom (Graham McGrath) witnesses a meeting between his father and Axel. Axel tries to convince Magnus to retire or even defect but the double agent refuses. Jack recalls Magnus to Vienna where he learns of his father's death. Magnus flies to London where he arranges the funeral and arranges for the collection of his father's files. Mary calls Jack when Magnus fails to return to Vienna. Magnus visits Sefton Boyd (Ian McNeice) and apologises for his first betrayal back at boarding school. Jack goes to Vienna in search of Magnus and interrogates Mary. Magnus retires to his secret lodgings in Devon where he enquires into local comings and goings. Jack searches Magnus's home uncovering references to someone codenamed Poppy and begins to suspect Magnus of betrayal.
