I was watching it tonight with my mum, and we both came up with a much better storyline to tonight. Here's how it should have happened.

Fiona is a double agent. She plants the evidence of the tube attack so that they can 'capture' her and Danny and make the video (she was quick at getting into the flat with her lock pick, and the other guys who killed Blackbird must have gotten in with ease as the door looked fine, perhaps she learnt off him?). She plans it to happen on her birthday, when Adam has to do everything she says (making it easy to put him into a dangerous situation to play this distracting game). Ruth's early scene from the episode raised the idea of a mole.

Adam has to make a difficult decision, to choose between his wife or Danny, but Fiona knows he loves her and would choose Danny to die if he were forced. This allows her to play the card to set up the hostage situation, safe in the knowledge she has Adam's full attention, diverting him from the real plan. She does this all in front of Danny, who will be her witness/alibi so she can be blame free, and could even be praised for her courage if they both survive.

But then somewhere along the way there's a twist, she says something that compromises her and she's forced to take charge and eventually has to shoot Danny. And then the next season would be up to Sam and Ruth to prove to Harry that Fiona is a double agent, angering Adam in the process. When they eventually prove it halfway through the season, we'd have to watch Adam's reaction as his world falls apart. This would also see Harry take a more direct role, and let us explore Sam (who we rarely see, which is a shame as she's pretty) and Ruth.

But no, they go for the simple storyline. What a waste.

And does anyone else think this new Zaf(?) bloke is Danny's replacement? After all, you can't have an entire cast full of white people. Mind you, I'm surprised they don't have more disabled people on the show to make it more 'politically correct'.
