In the season finale of The Tower’s third season, the Perseus operation reaches a climax as Kieran closes in on Shakiel, who is carrying a carload of automatic weapons. However, the escape of Jermaine King, Spencer’s killer, introduces a new level of urgency as he kidnaps Ryan’s sister, Tia.
DS Sarah Collins finds herself facing a dual challenge: rescuing Tia from King and ensuring that King is back in custody before he can interfere with the Perseus operation. Collins succeeds in both tasks, and Shakiel is arrested.
Just as things seem to be settling, an unexpected twist occurs: Ryan witnesses Steve shaking hands with police officers, leading to two simultaneous hostage situations. Kieran and Lizzie find themselves at Steve’s flat, where a furious Ryan holds Steve at gunpoint, while Sarah attempts to defuse the other situation and rescue Tia from King.
