Super high stakes, as usual.
Less undercover missions, and more focus on Jamie's torn loyalties  between with family and his job, which also puts strain on his relationships with Kyle (though there is no drama).

Alexei and Sean meanwhile... ouch. They face their own (professional) issues.  I like how the aftermath isn't glossed over, though I wish there was more of a focus on the therapy and trauma recovery, though I guess most of  that is meant to be covered  by Out of the Ashes.
