He was once a golden nepo baby , the grandson of a retired MI5 officer Jonathan Pryce , who was not only expected to thrive in the service but had the tools to do so. We have witnessed Jackson, too, get betrayed by his colleagues, like Diana, but his instincts are almost always impeccable and his only real failures are in the personal relationships that might get him out of the doghouse. During this episode, we have some acknowledgment from people in the know that River is quite good at his job. The clever, well-funded folks who have abducted Catherine for reasons still to be named later have gone to incredible lengths to send River on a crazy mission to infiltrate the Park and steal a vetting file, with a tight clock ticking on her life. The man asked to give River these orders tells him that the lives of his sister and her children are at stake if he fails to do the seemingly impossible. He is the only guy who can get this done.

Spider is out of the service, but he is in the thick of it here, as Sean and his group are threatening Spider's sister and her kids if River isn't able to get a specific file to them by midday. The problem is that file is in a secure area of the Park, which River's low-ranking won't allow him to access. But Spider admits that if anyone can do it, River has the skills to pull it off. River gets extra motivation when a sniper's laser appears on Spider's chest. But it also gives him an idea, as he grabs the fake diamond-studded tie clip that Spider is wearing and dashes off. River manages to get himself into the Park with about 25 minutes to go before midday. He then gets into the more secure area by telling Duffy Chris Reilly he has the diamond that was lost in season 2 really Spider's tie clip. But Duffy doesn't trust River and wants to have it verified, forcing him to join him. Lamb Gary Oldman gets back to Slough House and tries to gather his team back up to deal with Standish's kidnapping, worried that they are all being tailed and Slough House is bugged. On their way back, Shirley Aimee-Ffion Edwards and Marcus Kadiff Kirwan discuss working together to get themselves out of Slough House, while Louisa Rosalind Eleazar breaks into the car left by one of the kidnappers to get some info, finding a rental agreement. When Lamb tries to find River, Roddy Christopher Chung tells him he can't locate him because his phone is turned off. Taverner Kristin Scott Thomas spots River with Duffy and demands to see him, forcing Duffy goes to get the diamond checked on his own. Taverner complains to River that whenever he shows up it wrecks everything, but he is barely paying attention, conscious of the ticking clock, and takes the first opportunity he can to leave. But rather than exit the Park like Taverner wants him to, he sneaks back into the secure area. Taverner spots this.
