The Episode 2 of Citadel, “Spies Appear in Night Time“, starts with a flashback. We see Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) pull herself out of the water in Italy, where she manages to contact Bernard (Stanley Tucci) and tell him what happened. He’s initiated a backstop though, and tells her he had no other choice. Nearby, Nadia just manages to stop a car for help before she collapses.
Nadia wakes up to find herself handcuffed to a bed. Her wound has been dressed and a man with a gun sits watching her. When she realizes he means to keep her there, she manages to use his gun to break the handcuffs and fight him till he passes out. Something red flashes on her neck and an announcement is heard saying “backstop is commencing”.
In the few seconds she has, Nadia writes the words “go to Valencia Asha” on her arm before she passes out. When she wakes up, she’s shocked to see where she is. She takes her passport and the man’s car keys and leaves.
In Wyoming, Abby (Ashleigh Cummings) finds it hard to believe Kyle’s (Richard Madden) a spy. Kyle tells Abby he just wants to keep her and Hendrix (Caoilinn Springall) safe. Bernard arrives and tells him it’s time, so Kyle says his goodbyes and they leave.
Bernard takes Kyle to a building in New York City where he says the case is being decrypted at the top floor. He’s hacked Kyle’s biometrics to get him into the building. Bernard guides Kyle into the room with the case and even instructs him on how to fight a guard off. Kyle makes it back with the case and they leave.
At Ambassador Dahlia’s (Lesley Manville) home, she gets a call from the Davik brothers (Roland Møller) who tell her the case was stolen by none other than Mason Kane. She tells them to bring both to her.
Bernard tells Kyle to open the case using his wrist, and upon doing so, wants to use the case to find other active agents. Bernard reveals they aren’t going back to Wyoming; they can’t because Kyle is now a target for Manticore, something Bernard conveniently forgot to mention earlier. Kyle can only return to his family once Manticore is dealt with now.
He then reveals what the backstop did and tells him to use the vial in the case with his name on it to get his memories back. Before he can do so, the Davik brothers shoot and hit Bernard. The car crashes to a stop and Kyle manages to take the case, get into another car and drive away.
Kyle stops the car at a clearing and looks for the vial, but it’s broken and the fluid has leaked. He screams in frustration but the X Case shows him it’s located one active agent – Nadia Sinh in Valencia, Spain.
On his way to Valencia, Kyle leaves a message for Abby explaining what happened. He enters a restaurant and bumps against Nadia but she doesn’t remember who he is. When he mentions Italy, she takes him aside. She assumes he’s talking about the man she killed but he tells her everything about Citadel. As she denies it, he brings the X Case close enough to identify her from her wrist.
The Davik brothers enter the restaurant. Just as Mason tells Nadia about the vial, one of Davik’s men shoots at them. Nadia knocks him out with a pan and they head outside the kitchen where they are ambushed by Davik. While they’re both getting beaten, Nadia uses the vial. With her memories back, Nadia takes Davik down easily, and she helps Mason up too, telling him she remembers everything.
Dahlia (Lesley Manville) is annoyed when Davik (Roland Møller) tells her about Nadia. She tells Davik his ‘gift’ is here, and as she sits down for dinner, across the table from her is Bernard (Stanley Tucci).
In the aftermath of the fight with the Davik brothers, Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) and Mason (Richard Madden) decide to work together to take down Manticore and ensure their safety. As they formulate a plan, they realize they must navigate the treacherous world of espionage and outwit their enemies at every turn.
Meanwhile, Abby (Ashleigh Cummings) struggles to come to terms with the revelation that her husband, Kyle (Richard Madden), is actually a spy. She worries about the safety of her daughter, Hendrix (Caoilinn Springall), and the life they’ve built together. She finds herself torn between wanting to support her husband and fearing for their future.
As Nadia and Mason embark on their mission, they quickly learn that they can’t trust anyone. They face numerous obstacles, including double agents, assassins, and the constant threat of being discovered by Manticore. Despite the danger, they grow closer, relying on each other’s skills and instincts to survive.
In their pursuit of Manticore, they uncover a sinister plot that threatens global stability. They must race against time to stop this nefarious plan and bring the organization to justice. As they dig deeper, they discover that there may be more to Manticore than meets the eye, and that the organization’s reach extends further than they ever imagined.
With the odds stacked against them, Nadia and Mason must use all their skills, wits, and the knowledge they’ve gained to save the world from the brink of disaster. As they face life-and-death situations, their bond strengthens, and they begin to trust one another completely.
Back in Wyoming, Abby and Hendrix try to adjust to life without Kyle, unsure of when or if he’ll ever return. Abby grapples with her emotions, feeling a mix of anger, betrayal, and fear. Despite the challenges, she remains determined to protect her daughter and maintain some semblance of normalcy.
