What to Expect from Slow Horses Season 5 Episode 2: Incommunicado
Despite his obliviousness, Shirley’s right; Roddy is in danger.
Based on the photo of him wielding a sword, it looks like he finally realizes that fact on Slow Horses Season 5 Episode 2, “Incommunicado.”
He’s not going to take it well when he learns Tara is not actually interested in him. She was providing intel to someone about Roddy via text she sent at the end of Slow Horses Season 5 Episode 1, “Bad Dates.”

Slough House is going to have to band together to figure out just how deep of a mess Roddy has found himself in. Despite their feelings toward each other, they do show up when one of their own is in danger.
The Park has its hands full with Abbotsfield and keeping the mayoral candidates safe. If they now have to be concerned about Roddy and Slough House, well then Diana and Flyte have their work cut out for them.
