After the discovery of the wiretap Nessa isn't the only person keen to discover who was listening to the communications going in and out of the West Bank; Shlomo is keen to know who put a tap on wires his company installed. He discovers two things; firstly that the tap is being run by somebody based within the Stein's University and secondly somebody else is listening in and they can't be traced electronically. The involvement of the Stein's University leads Nessa to confront her brother and learn the price of her freedom, she also learns why her son was kidnapped. Meanwhile the quietly spoken Hugh Hayden-Hoyle is talking to all the key players and coming closer to discovering what is going on.
As the series approaches its conclusion this episode sees more questions answered and more secrets revealed; but not at too rapid a pace and the revelations are neither too obvious nor unbelievable; there are still some unknowns and Nessa still hasn't got her son back. There is somewhat less violence than previous episodes but that doesn't mean there is none; indeed the opening scene where the possibility of slightly rough sex turns into rape is quite disturbing. The acting continues to be top-notch, most notably from Maggie Gyllenhaal and Stephen Rea, Igal Naor's performance as the overbearing Shlomo is also rather fun. Overall this is a solid episode which progresses the plot nicely.
