Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Enjoying a long deserved vacation, Scott and Stonebridge are recalled after a fellow Section 20 member dies while pursuing the elusive terrorist al-Zuhari in Beirut. A new lead sends them into the remote jungles of Colombia in pursuit of a known associate of al-Zuhari’s and deep in territory controlled by a powerful drug cartel.

Our Take

A solid if familiar relaunch that gets the band back together fast, maybe too fast, since the vacation setup barely lasts ten minutes. The Colombia jungle move gives the season a fresh backdrop and the action beats land with the usual punchy energy. Not much character work yet, but as a table-setter it moves well and promises a meaner arc ahead.
