“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.

Citadel – Baked Alaskas

  • Title: Citadel – Baked Alaskas
  • IMDb: link

The original, and arguably weakest, of Amazon’s Citadel shows returns for a Second Season. We begin with narration from the still-captured Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci) which works as a recap of the show’s First Season (notably somewhat reconning the most important revelations from the season finale) and also sets up Bernard as a major character rather than just a supporting player. Following Bernard’s escape, the show also introduces dimwitted shoot-first former CIA Agent James Hutch (Jack Reynor) who is going to help Bernard stop Manticore from using mind-control technology that they forced him to invent, whether Bernard wants his help or not. He really doesn’t.

The final two episodes of Citadel: Honey Bunny‘s season finally bring Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) and Bunny (Varun Dhawan) back together, and introduce Bunny to his daughter, while also wrapping up the flashbacks detailing the events that happened eight years prior and Honey’s betrayal and presumed death which allowed her to disappear. After Bunny sues Guru (Kay Kay Menon) for peace, KD (Saqib Saleem) refuses to step down leading to a bloodbath of an extended action sequence featuring Honey and Bunny mowing down legions of Guru’s men. Despite no news on whether or not a Second Season will be coming, the show ends on a cliffhanger with Bunny making a suicidal run buying time for Honey and Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar) to escape.

While in 2000 we see Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) return to her family home, flashbacks to 1992 continue with the mission that caused her to split from Bunny (Varun Dhawan) and Guru (Kay Kay Menon). The surprise news of her unexpected pregnancy weighs on Honey heading into the team stealing the Armada from Dr. Raghu (Thalaivasal Vijay) whose actions after she faints at dinner with him prove to her what kind of man he is as do Bunny’s killing him on Guru’s orders. Between Honey’s horror at Bunny’s actions and lies and Bunny’s anger at her questioning their mission, any hopes for Honey sharing the news of her pregnancy fall apart.

While offering flashbacks to a past mission involving a scientist in which Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) goes missing, “Spy Game” features those after Honey and Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar) catching up to them at their safe house (which it turns out wasn’t all that safe). The sequence provides the bulk of the episode’s action with Honey taking out the attackers by a variety of means. Despite being injured, Honey makes it out with her daughter with the assassins still after them and Bunny (Varun Dhawan) and Chacko (Shivankit Singh Parihar) still too far behind to help.
