With just one more episode to go in the show, this episode sets up quite a few things, but is a bit of a lull in the tension after a run of amazingly taut and tense episodes. Now in Berlin, the team must bargain with Faber who is holding Sinclair's son. He arranges to trade him for the tape of Sabine incriminating herself. However Franz has even more going on, as his Nazi bosses have uncovered his dealings with Sinclair and the gang. Franz convinces them he is cultivating them for information but is clearly losing control of the situation as Neil, Sinclair and his injured son are captured. Meanwhile Krystina (yes, she's on field assignment finally!) is buttering up a nervous art dealer whose exhibit is about to become a booby trap so the team can kill the scientist at the heart of operation Marigold. Aurora and Alfred 'discuss' things - one for the shippers there - while Sinclair makes the ultimate sacrifice as he knows he will not be able to hold out if his son is tortured in front of him.
With just one episode left, there is a bit of moving of people into place while having Aurora and Alfred reconcile and be together smacks a little of fan service. Confession time, I've never cared for Sinclair, so his story line with his son and his death didn't really move me. However, I appreciated the story implications. The boss of the team is gone and his sacrifice made sense. We now have Neil in custody, Faber's allegiance unclear and Aurora, Alfred and Krystina on their own with a task that seems impossible.
I'm guessing there may be at least one more death to come. Will Neil be the one? Alfred? I'm going to be very upset if it is Aurora!
