The synopsis for the spy thriller reads:

The upcoming episode of the series is said to try and track down the hostage before it was too late, using Roddy's hacking skills. Lamb would let Diana sign paperwork that would prove that the Slough House team was innocent and keep them from getting arrested.
Meanwhile, Lamb will also try to negotiate a deal to reinstate the agents at Regent's Park. River is set to pay Sid a visit, whose life status remains questionable. Curly will shoot the other terrorists and drive the hostage to a secluded place, hopefully to get saved by the Slow Horses.
The synopsis for the season finale reads:
"Taverner and the Slow Horses attempt different approaches to locate the kidnappers and Hassan; Ho makes a shocking discovery about Sid."
Recap of episode 5
In the previous episode of Slow Horses, viewers saw the gang gather in their graveyard hideout. Lamb explained how Diana would have to take the blame for the beheading. Meanwhile, River gathered evidence to help them escape the arrest, a picture he took of Diana meeting Alan Black.
To save the hostage, others started to check into Alan Black's background, also utilizing Rody's skills. Later, Lamb drove up to MI5, blasting The Proclaimers in his stolen car.
He is then taken to Diana, who laid out her evil plans, while also revealing that Sid is dead. Lamb then revealed that his stolen car had a bomb in it, which was not true but a diversion which allowed River to enter the building in search of evidence.
River was able to get a hold of the incriminating photographs, which Webb had filed under F for Fiasco. They showed Diana the same, which left her rattled. At the end of the episode, Curly shot Zippo dead over a stupid dispute they had.
