Black Doves season 2 shakes undercover spy Helen Webb (Keira Knightley) and her icy handler Mrs Reed (Sarah Lancashire) to their core, with a conspiracy that strikes at the heart of their treacherous lives.
For her, that is quite literally a life-or-death task, since husband Wallace (Andrew Buchan) has assumed the office of Prime Minister and remains her primary source of classified intel.
You can find all the spoiler-filled details of the Black Doves season 2 ending below, as six brand new episodes finally arrive on Netflix.
Black Doves season 2 ending explained: Who lives and who dies?
The episode begins with Sam clearing his debt to the organisation known as Kestrel by delivering to them – but not killing – Black Doves spymaster Reed.
Capitalising on a moment of confusion from Black Doves season 1, writer Joe Barton briefly has us believe that the child, named Vita, grew up to be Marie (Molly Chesworth); the suspicious woman who works as a nanny to Helen's children.
However, episode 6 exposes this as a red herring when Kestrel finally swoops in to exact their revenge.
They abduct US defence envoy Cecile Mason (Neve Campbell) and Katia Chernov (Sylvia Hoeks), the widow of murdered diplomat Alexi, whose defection from the USSR was sabotaged by Reed back in 1988.
Reed is among the Black Doves staffers held at gunpoint in this nightmarish scenario, as her long-buried sins are finally about to resurface.
It's here, with the scheme seemingly beyond foiling, that the unassuming Katia reveals her true identity to be Reed's long-lost daughter, Vita.
Vita nonchalantly shoots Cecile in the head when the feisty official threatens retaliation from the United States government, before proceeding to the final stage of her plan: coercing Helen into killing the Prime Minister.
The deaths of a senior US diplomat and a UK Prime Minister would certainly cause a geopolitical storm, but global instability is not Vita's aim. Rather, she simply wants to see the Black Doves forced into the cold light of day, and brought down for good.
Vita hears a gunshot ring out over the phone line and is satisfied that her plans have come to fruition.
Meanwhile, we learn that Helen did not, in fact, shoot Wallace, but instead fired a shot into their vehicle's bulletproof glass to get Vita to drop her immediate threat.
Back at the Black Doves offices, Vita suffers a serious gunshot wound and flees downstairs, while Williams and Eleanor make short work of Dani by throwing an armed grenade into the lift in which she attempts to escape.
Helen and Sam reach Marie at London Zoo to rescue the kids, who mercifully had no clue how much danger they were in, and their protective mother *ahem* terminates her nanny's employment. Get it?
Looking ahead, Reed has reaffirmed her position at the Black Doves and forged a fragile truce with colleague Mr Conteh (Babou Ceesay), but it won't quite be business as usual.
Upon returning to No. 10 Downing Street, Wallace is waiting for a difficult chat about the truth of Helen's past and the nature of her work. We don't get to see how that unfolds, making it a tantalising tease for a possible third season.
