What happened in The Agency Season 1 Episode 4?

The Agency Episode 4 touches on Sami's visit to London under the ruse of the UNESCO cultural program. While Martian suspects she is tailing him, it is revealed that she is here to attend the secret meeting between the Sudanese representatives and Chinese delegates to discuss a possible alliance to resolve the Civil War in Sudan.

We also learn that Osman is part of the ‘Mukhabarat,’ or the intelligence service of Sudan, and is tailing Sami to ensure she does not communicate with anyone in London. However, he gets suspicious when he sees her talking with Martian.

Adamant about knowing Martian's identity, Osman ambushes Sami at her hotel room and violently warns her to coerce Martian's identity. Left with no choice, she blows his cover and tells Osman about Martian's Paul Lewis cover.

Martian and Henry are trying to get intel on Coyote, a missing CIA operative. In a diplomatic meeting with the Belarusian delegation in London, Martian spots a silent and potential KGB agent, Mikhail, and arranges to meet with him at a pub in the night.

The two meet up, and Martian offers a lot of money in exchange for any intel on Coyote by calling him his 'bike' (for code). Mikhail accepts his offer by taking his number. The Agency future episodes will unfold information about Coyote and what happened to him.
