Peter’s Allegiance Revealed: Mission Breakdown for The Night Agent Season 3

Warning: Spoilers ahead for season 2 of The Night Agent.

In the highly anticipated second season of Netflix’s The Night Agent, viewers are left guessing Peter’s (Gabriel Basso) allegiance as he embarks on a new mission for the upcoming third season. Following the triumphant first season, Netflix promptly renewed the show, and season 2 seamlessly dives deeper into Peter’s duties as a night agent. Much like its predecessor, this season is replete with gripping action sequences and intricate mysteries for Peter to unravel.

With the storyline from Matthew Quirk’s original book having been fully explored in season 1, the second season of The Night Agent introduces fresh characters and a captivating new plot. While the season 1 finale didn’t reveal Peter’s investigative focus for the second season, season 2 provides intriguing hints about his mission for the next installment, including the return of familiar faces and the identity of the primary antagonist.

Catherine Seeks Closer Ties Between Peter and Jacob Monroe in Season 3

The Villain of Season 3: Peter’s Most Formidable Opponent Yet

Season 2 introduces Jacob Monroe (Louis Herthum), a crucial character who serves as an intelligence broker dealing with classified documents related to the Foxglove chemical weapons program. Throughout the season, Peter is deeply engaged in tracking down Solomon (Berto Colon) and his superior, both of whom hold critical insights into the Foxglove operation. Their eventual encounter offers Peter a stark revelation about Monroe’s true character and the scope of his influence.

After defying Catherine’s (Amanda Warren) directives during the presidential election, Peter is given a precarious opportunity to redeem himself by acting as a double agent. Now operating under Monroe’s tutelage, he becomes the key informant who can relay Monroe’s activities back to Catherine. As the end of season 2 concludes, Peter’s acceptance of this dangerous arrangement hints at the more complicated challenges he will face in season 3 as a potential double agent.

Monroe’s Power Poses a Threat to Night Action

A pivotal flashback in season 2 reveals Monroe’s earlier involvement with Hagan (Ward Horton) before his presidential candidacy. Monroe offers assistance, but insists Hagan must reciprocate. With Hagan ascending to the presidency, Monroe is poised to gain unprecedented access to sensitive government data, available for sale to the highest bidder, encompassing vital investigations by Night Action.

Can Peter Follow in His Father’s Footsteps as a Double Agent?

Peter Faces a Dilemma of Loyalty in Season 3

The finale of season 2 finds Peter voluntarily surrendering after thwarting an attack on the United Nations. While his circumstances differ from his father’s, he finds himself under orders from Catherine to keep an eye on Monroe. By releasing Solomon and fulfilling Monroe’s requests—which conflicts with Catherine’s directives—Peter demonstrates the significance of his relationship with Rose (Luciane Buchanan).

Now caught between conflicting loyalties, Peter’s obligations remain uncertain. Monroe recognizes Rose as Peter’s vulnerability, and this knowledge could be manipulated to extract crucial intelligence from him. Ultimately, the question of where Peter’s true loyalties lie looms large as he navigates the treacherous waters ahead.

In light of his love for Rose, it’s highly likely Peter will assume a double agent role in The Night Agent season 3. The real conundrum, however, is whether he can maintain his cover while protecting the ones he cares for most.
