The Night Agent Season 1 Episode 7 Recap
Episode 7 of The Night Agent opens with a flashback to fourteen years ago when Ashley Redfield's younger daughter, Sarah, drowned. Ashley continued to blame Maddie, his eldest daughter, for the tragic incident, which fueled Maddie's resentment towards her father. The episode then reveals that Matteo, who was revealed to be the bomber behind the subway attack, was now attempting to expose Vice President Ashley Redfield's involvement in the attack.
Paulo, an activist, had used Maddie to recruit her for his New Leaf propaganda campaign, but Matteo had used Paulo to trick Maddie into falling for his trap. Matteo had recorded Maddie and forwarded the footage, along with some threatening messages, to Gordon Wick, who had hired Matteo to detonate the bomb in the subway. However, for some reason, Matteo had turned against them and was now determined to reveal the Vice President's role in the explosion.
Meanwhile, Peter and Rose were hiding out on Peter's godfather's yacht and trying to learn more about the bomber. They had acquired relevant material that indicated Matteo was the bomber, but his name appeared to be Collin Worley, and he was listed as deceased. So, who was Matteo if Collin Worley had passed away? Has Colin really passed away, or is this just another twin brothers drama? The answer to this question will be revealed in the upcoming episode.
Arrington and Monks, who were conducting an actual investigation to determine who the real kidnapper was, were told to concentrate on Peter Sutherland without even having relevant evidence. The White House officials, including Diane Farr, Ashley Redfield, and Gordon Wick, had framed Sutherland to hide their plot to carry out a terrorist attack. Despite their suspicions about Matteo, the White House was unconcerned with Arrington and Monks' opinions. However, the agents had doubts about the White House's decision to put Sutherland at the center of the blame game.
Jim, one of Peter's next of kin and his godfather, was discovered during the search for Peter's residence. Jim had strained his relationship with Peter when he had published an article about Peter's father's treason case, which Peter believed had contributed to his father's death. Despite this, Jim told Arrington and Monks about the deck, where Peter and Rose were hiding, and the agents managed to locate and capture them.

The Night Agent Novel
Night Agent, a novel by Matthew Quirk, was inspired by a true story of a Russian millionaire found dead in a Washington D.C. hotel in 2015.

He combined these elements with themes from the headlines, such as the conspiracy of Russian entanglement in the 2016 U.S. election, to create a thrilling spy novel.
