7/10
AN ORIGINAL IDEA NOT SO WELL EXECUTED
24 February 2024
A secret service agent executed a colleague with a shot but later does not remember anything of what happened. The mystery appears to be connected to a hospital where he has had therapy and to an enemy agent named Boris Kartovski who was presumably killed by Steed in a previous confrontation. As always, Brian Clemens knows how to write stories full of mystery with a logical resolution at the end, the premise is original but the development is a bit slow, which produces a somewhat boring episode. At one point Tara is anesthetized and tied to a stretcher, when she wakes up she tries to scream but is quickly gagged, this scene quickly reminded me of Emma Peel, who would have been impossible to scream in any dangerous situation, on the contrary she would have made a ironic comment to her captor, evidently no matter how much Linda Thorson did a good job, her character was never on par with Emma Peel.
