The previous season has set the stage for an explosive season finale after Tara and the rest of the Libyans bested MI5 and shut down the entire intelligence system. As the plot against MI5 unfolds, Jackson Lamb and the rest of the Slough House agents will continue to navigate the smoke and mirrors of the espionage world to defend London.

As teased in the previous episode, the legendary MI5 agent David Cartwright could return, somehow, to help the Slough House in their biggest mission yet.

Slow Horses season 5 episode 6 serves as the season finale that is expected to tie everything up about the biggest threat the country has experienced so far. That said, Apple TV has already renewed the spy series for a sixth season in October 2024.


A brief recap of Slow Horses season 5 episode 5

Slow Horses season 5 episode 5 reveals Tara's bigger part in the conspiracy and destabilization strategy that leaves the entire country compromised. During the interrogation, she makes it seem like she's a victim, coerced into targeting Roddy Ho and forced to compromise MI5's database with a string of code. She gives up the said code, but it turns out to be a nefarious plan.

She didn't use the code before, as she claims. She has only pulled out Whelan's profile from the database before, another part of a different plan, and the code is for MI5 itself to use. They think that inputting the code in the database will show them which part of their system has been compromised. Instead, it shuts down the entire intelligence system, and they couldn't do anything to stop it.

The MI5 blackout is the step 5 in the destabilization strategy, which is to 'blind the enemy.' Slow Horses season 5 episode 5 ends with Tara ditching MI5 agents and returning to the Libyans, preparing for the final step of their plan.


Major events to expect from Slow Horses season 5 episode 6

It's the season finale, and here are the biggest events fans can expect to see in Slow Horses season 5 episode 6 based on the cliffhanger in the previous episode:

  • It's only a matter of time before the final step is revealed and what it entails. Per the season finale's synopsis, it could involve a 'mass carnage' that will hit the entire country after it is left defenseless.
  • The Park will scramble their way out of what happened at the end of episode 5. Getting the entire intelligence unit in a blackout puts the country vulnerable, and Whelan, as the head of MI5, appears to be as incompetent as ever, especially compared to Diana.
  • Slough House, as always, will try to prevent the Libyans from completing their mission. Whether David Cartwright will be of help and whether or not they will be able to stop the plot against the country will be the highlight of the season finale.
