Taking place just after "Smoke and Mirrors", Tom Quinn is framed for assassinating Air Chief Marshal Sir John Stone who was actually murdered by (believed-to-be-dead) Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent Herman Joyce as revenge for ruining his daughter's life. Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) Oliver Mace conducts an unorthodox investigation into Section D in an attempt to control it. Harry Pearce recovers from Tom's shooting of him and brings in MI6 officer Adam Carter to prove Tom's innocence. Tom, posing as a vagrant, tracks Joyce to his daughter's church and kills him, before delivering the body to Thames House. Though it proves Joyce faked his death, it does not prove Tom's innocence. Later, Section D learns that Joyce's wife, Carmen plans to meet Joyce in London. The team follows her to a flat, where Adam pays her a visit. Through recording devices, Adam has Carmen confess to framing Tom, before allowing her to kill herself, which prevented Mace from making her change her story. Tom is cleared and reinstated, but his CIA girlfriend Christine Dale resigns. She warns Tom to leave his work before it will "destroy" him..
