The details of Palestinian leader Khadi's visit to London for high-level peace talks are leaked to his enemies. A rehearsal for the visit is infiltrated by terrorists, one of whom is a girl who is pursued and killed by a Special Branch officer... after being seen covertly filming the op.
With this visit being top secret, Cowley suspects the leak could come from close to home - with suspicion falling on government minister George Masterson's secretary Frances.
Frances is tailed by CI5, and appears to be having an affair with a Spanish musician - but is this man who he says he is?
Meanwhile, Doyle moves into student accommodation to carry out observations on pretty American air hostess Shelley (whose flatmate was the girl working for the terrorist group who had been killed earlier).
Can Cowley use the knowledge he now has of his enemies' intentions to feed them false information and draw them out into the open?
This episode ticks along quite nicely, with its themes of espionage, double-cross and betrayal, and there are some well-executed action set-pieces along the way.
The main humour comes from Bodie and Doyle's interactions with air hostess Shelley, and their various attempts at flirting with her and comparing notes!
There's also another funny moment when Bodie bugs Frances's apartment - and her mother is clearly not taken in by any of his charms.
You also get the ubiquitous Nadim Sawalha as a middle-eastern envoy - something of course he made quite a specialty of during his career. This story is also unusually written by former Sweeney producer Ted Childs.
While maybe not up there perhaps with the very best episodes, there's still plenty to enjoy here - not to mention a fast-paced and action-packed climax.
