Left alive, told the entire plan of the sleeper agent, plenty of leeway in the rope. He’s definitely a pawn and she’s flying that plane somewhere else

Yea. I haven’t read the books but there is no way river got all that correct. This doesn’t seem like a show with clean happy endings

Apparently Dead Lions is an extremely complicated novel.

Also apparently, the first two episodes covered about half the book. People over at r/SlowHorses are shocked at how fast they're going through the material and how they're managed to do it/untangle it.

I think that explanation also fails(for me). They had to have some original plan before he showed up. Counting on him showing up would be insane. Changing their plan at the last minute to one where they know incorrect information instead of wrong information just seems overly risky.

The Estonian knew Slough House was following him the entire time (since he used the taxi driver. Remember, when River came down from the plane joyride his phone had been gone through, he just assumed it was the dad.) so maybe the exact moment wasn’t designed to be at that point, but it was always a trap for him at some point imo.
