Ekaterina Gromova continues to use the Watu Wema and Shandu to accomplish her goals. They break into President Malunga's home and tie him up along with two European business men who are blackmailing the president. She burns the two business men alive, douses them in gasoline and then lights them on fire. She demands that Malunga declare a state of emergency and hire Superior Solutions to "help set things right".
Shandu is shaken by what Ekaterina did but not enough to break with her. That night he goes to see Queen at her apartment. They have sex but he is gone the next morning when she wakes up.
The intel that SOG has been able to dig up on the bombing at the train station reveals that the bomb was detonated by a cell phone. The cell phone that was used was just one of a pack of six. They suspect that another attack in imminent. Dr. Isaacs asks Queen if she has heard anything more form Shandu. She says that she has not.
Shandu gets into an argument with Ekaterina about her actions the night before. One of his men is also troubled by what they did and the bombing of the railway station. Ekaterina brushes off his concerns. She lets him know that her people have located Queen. They know where she lives and plan to kidnap her. Shandu tries to talk her out of it but she won't listen to him and drives off.
Queen goes to see William. She needs to talk to him but he isn't receptive to her needs. He questions her sincerity and writes her a check to repay her for helping him with his school costs.
The 3-man hit team comes to Queen's apartment. She isn't expecting them but gives them quite a fight. She kills two of them and starts to torture the third one. He is just about to reveal who sent them when a sniper takes him out. Queen can't see it but the sniper is Shandu.
Queen goes into the office. Fred has been able to deduce that the next target is going to be the biggest football (soccer) game of the year. He is certain one of the missing cell phones is going to be used to detonate the bomb. He has also been able to figure out the identity of the man who will be detonating the bomb.
Queen goes into the stadium disguised as a police officer. Fred taps into the cameras in the stadium and uses facial recognition software. It takes quite a bit of effort but he locates the man and Queen goes after him. SOG shuts down all the phone towers in the Johannesburg area in order to prevent the terrorist from setting off the bomb.
Ekaterina is up to some dirty work of her own while Queen and SOG are saving the day. She goes to see Queen's grandmother and kills her. Queen's grandmother tries to call her granddaughter but the phones are still out.
Queen mourns at her grandmother's grave as Miri's mother contact's Queen's father/
Thoughts
Kate Liquorish, the actress who plays Ekaterina is deliciously evil. She plays that role to the hilt.
The music in this episode was off the charts great. It really helped to set the mood on multiple occasions.
This episode was probably my favorite of the season. It brought things to a head but it also left some things incomplete. It was a very tense episode.
How long will Shandu continue to work with Superior Solutions? He clearly has divided loyalties. He has plans for the Watu Wema, plans that involve violent action but he doesn't want to see Queen harmed and clearly doesn't care for Ekaterina or her plans.
This season was not perfect, nor was this episode, but I enjoyed both very much. I'm eager for more.
