This is Slow Horses s02 episode 1 recap, this post have spoilers.
Episode title: Last Stop.
We all have been waiting for the second season of Slow horses, Min and Louisa had a thing going on, River finally did something good and Lamb has a mysterious past.
Dickie Bow dies
At the beginning of the episode, Dickie Bow(Phil Davis) also known as Richard Bough. He is a retired spy who goes after someone and ends up getting killed on a bus.
Min and Louisa new job
Min and Louisa’s relationship looks like it’s getting more intimate, they are looking for a house, even though they are already living together.
They meet with Webb and he tells them they got seconded and will report to him.
River wants a new job
River goes to a job interview, but it seems that the interviewers were more interested in knowing what is like to work with Lamb.
Lamb starts investigating
Meanwhile, Lamb investigates Dickie Bow’s death. He finds out that Min, Louisa, and River are showing interest in leaving the quietness of the Slought House.
Lamb sends Shirley Dander(Aimee Edwards) to get the HDD with footage.
River didn’t like that Lamb sent Shirley instead of him, and starts investigating solo to show that he is useful.
River shows his potential
At the end of the episode, River meets lamb at a Chinese restaurant and tells him what he found out. Lamb gets impressed with River, but hides it from him. It’s like Lamb already knew that River was capable of that accomplishment.
As always the first episode of a Season ends with “in memory of Kal Biggins”.
Final thoughts
Well, I think that the episode was very good overall.
One thing that I’ve noticed in the first season is that
the show has a lot of slow paced development of the story. Season 2 seems to be more simple and it’s easier to follow the ideas. One thing cool about it was the thrilling music played at the beggining, while dickie Bow was chasing the other guy.
The episode 2 certainly will be as thrilling as one.
