While Slow Horses Season 1 Episode 4 doesn’t answer much of the questions, it’s surely heading to the same. This time around, the team is not together anymore and is on the run from Mi5 agents. Furthermore, it seems like rescuing Hassan was left aside, and hunting down the Slough Horses became a mission all of a sudden. On Lamb’s side, even he asked the team to gather around all the troops.
So here we are breaking down the Fourth Episode of Slow Horses, a slow crime drama that is now finally picking up. We will take a look at all the events of the Episode. Right from team scattering to find their mates to Mi5 hunting them down one by one. The questions that are yet to be answered to new mysteries coming in.
Slow Horses Season 1 Episode 4 Recap
Previously on Slow Horses Season 1, Lamb’s team had to scatter after they discovered the body of Moe. This sees Lamb wanting the team to go out there and bring all the Slough Horses agents together as they are on the run from Mi5 chasing them. Lamb, on his side, tries to trick his way by booking multiple flights. But Diana knows where he is headed.
River parts ways with Min and Louisa to bring in Ho while the latter ones go to visit Loy. Moments later, Mi5 raids the scene. It turns out Moe is actually an undercover Mi5 Agent named Alan Black. River picks up Ho, who isn’t really happy to see him and doesn’t want to get involved in whatever mess they are in. Min and Louisa fail to get hold of Loy as the Mi5 reaches first.
Diana tries to interrogate Loy, who doesn’t give away much. But she knows a number of secrets he is keeping away from the family, which forces him to blurt. Meanwhile, Lamb visited Catherine, who took him in. But even Catherine receives a message from Diana about Lamb going rogue and Lamb keeping away secrets about Charles’s Partner’s death.
Lamb lets Catherine know that all Diana is doing is playing her mind games. For now, Catherine trusts him and leaves with him before Nick and Webb come to confront them. This leads them to go with them, but it is a matter of time before the game turns. Thus, they throw Nick and Webb out of the car before leaving.
Meanwhile, River believed he had seen Moe or Black somewhere. By the end of the Episode, he stops by the hospital. Only for the Mi5 to find out and send an agent to catch him. Ho bails on River; still, River manages to escape. Apart from all of this, we see the kidnappers coming to a conclusion to possibly let Hassan go.

Slow Horses Season 1 Episode 4 Review
We believed Slow Horses Episode 4 was going to be the Episode that may end up revealing a lot. But it turns out that the whole Episode was more of like a 40-minute chase sequence going on, thus building up to the coming Episode 5. The good part is that the show is finally picking up the pace and is coming to circle.
All we had to see was the team Slough Horses on the run as they tried to pick up their agents while also racing with the Mi5 agents. If we look at the segments of the kidnappers, they were not at all important to the Episode. Still, the Episode works great when it comes to hooking up the viewers who are left wanting more towards the end.
Also, instead of answering the ongoing mysteries, the Episode continues to build more mysteries around the ongoing plot—for example, the secret behind Charles’s death or what River knows about Black. With the team scattered, Episode 5 may be a better one to answer these questions. You could sit back and wait around for the same.
