    Dizzzzzyy.

    Raza gets in deeper, sticking to Dadir, he begins to see exactly what he's getting mixed up with.

    I think this was the most accomplished episode so far, I thoroughly enjoyed this, the narrative had gotten a little confusing in the previous episode, this was altogether more cohesive, and tighter written.

    I am intrigued by Gabe's past, and intrigued by the snippets we're getting at the start.

    The stress of being under cover is playing havoc with Raza, not knowing how to deal with it, he's lashing out. I have a feeling his brother is going to be his undoing.

    It's all Bruv........ 8/10.

    Raza continues to think on his feet to stay close to Dadir. Gabe tells him to act like a pilot fish and stay underneath the shark. Raza's perseverance pays off as he gets information on an Albania crime gangster. Raza wants citizenship for his mother to be sorted out for the information he is obtaining. However the pressure of this double life is getting to him.

    Raza's dad is suspicious when he comes across as a spy camera. He knows that his son is a snitch.

    Raza's younger brother Nasir gets friendly with someone else Gabe has been dealing with. A radicalised youth ordered to stay away from the internet.

    The more interesting angle is regarding Gabe himself. He inadvertently meets a face from the past, when Gabe had infiltrated right wing gangs. I am certainly sure Holly has been placed to investigate Gabe as she probes his past activities.

    Raza looks like someone who has taken to undercover work like duck to water. It was interesting that when his father confronted him, he had the balls to call his dad out for his drinking.
