The first episode of Day One introduces us to Ulises (Álex González) who has lived in seclusion for the better part of a decade following the death of his sister. Out of the blue, he’s contacted by his old programming partner Samuel (Asier Etxeandia) who has discovered something dark at the heart of tech billionaire Diskin’s (Jordi Mollà) next release. Uncovering the dangerous truth about the product that might put millions in jeopardy, Samuel reconnects with Ulises but is killed before the details can be explained leaving the programmer on the run both from the police (who mistakenly believe him to be responsible for Samuel), Diskin and his agents, and the assassin (Renata Notni) who killed Samuel whose true allegiance has yet to be determined.

“Cold Plunge” and “Chinos” bring an end to our spies’ hiding starting with Abby’s (Ashleigh Cummings) foolish decision that puts her family in danger and gets her captured. We get a brawl between Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) who now knows it was Mason who betrayed Citadel, and we get Bernard (Stanley Tucci) bringing the two spies together with his new CIA friends (Jack Reynor and Lina El Arabi) and Frank Sharpe (Matt Berry) to go on the offensive in a half-assed plan that goes off the rails almost immediately and leaves one of their own bleeding out on the floor of the CIA.

Superman Sunday takes us back to the 1950s and a strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Originally airing on Halloween 1952, “The Birthday Letter” involves a coincidence of young Kathy (Isa Ashdown) who accidentally overhears a crucial piece of information involving a counterfeit plot and also writes to The Daily Planet that her most fervent wish is for Superman to take her to the fair (as apparently Kathy’s leg brace is too much of an impediment for her mother to do so).
