The gang must disappear to avoid capture by MI5. Lamb and River head to The Park to outwit Taverner.

Gary Oldman singing along to the Proclaimers in the car while not giving a shit about the number of guns pointed directly at his face is the best thing I've seen in a heck of a long time.

MI5 allows super classified files to be kept in a regular office? No dedicated guard. No biometric measures.

The Slow Horses are primed for victory... can their luck continue? Does Taverner have a fifth Ace up her sleeve?

I don't really have anything specific to say about this particular episode except it - like the entire series so far - was terrific.  Everyone was true to their characters, there was a nice blend of action and humor.  I can't believe there's only 1 episode left.  I specifically got Apple + for this, and it's been worth it.

I didn’t know I needed it in my life until I saw it.

Really? I don’t see how they will wrap all this story up in one episode. I guess we will have a cliffhanger.

The scenes with the kidnappers in the van dragged a bit for me. That might be because the Sons of Albion are such dummies. How do they not have any wipes or paper towels in that van? Oh yeah, because they are idiots who don’t prepare for anything.
