The Musketeers - The Good Traitor

There are two major storylines taking place in “The Good Traitor.” The first involves a Spanish general (Colin Salmon) hunted by his own soldiers who, in exchange for his life and the rescue of his daughter (Antonia Thomas), proposes to hand over to King Louis (Ryan Gage) the secret formula of Spain’s new explosive which is far more powerful than simple gun powder.

It doesn’t help that Gruner expertly plans Watson (Lucy Liu) and the NYPD by firing his new investigator before he is questioned by the police making it appear, at least from the outside, as if the accusation is nothing but a slanderous reprisal. Returning to the themes of vengeance used in the First Season episode “M,” “The One that Got Away” bring Kitty face-to-face with her abuser offering her the same opportunity that Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) ultimately walked away from.
