The second episode of Citadel: Honey Bunny overs three threads. We get Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) finding her daughter Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar), which turns out to take less time than expected (and provide more context to the rules Honey has set up with her daughter in case of such emergencies), and relocating to a safe house with more pursuers on her trail. We see Bunny (Varun Dhawan) reconnect with his old friend Chacko (Shivankit Singh Parihar) and make a run on one of the enemy’s bases coming up empty on the attack. And, in the past, we see Honey begin her training as a spy against the reservations of the misogynistic Guru (Kay Kay Menon) despite her obvious talent for the work and her relationship with Bunny turning romantic.

Citadel: Honey Bunny - Dancing and Fighting

The opening episode of the latest Citadel spinoff takes place simultaneously in both 1992 where struggling actress Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) is recruited by stuntman and spy Bunny (Varun Dhawan) for a job, and 2000 where Honey’s past catches up to her putting her daughter Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar) in danger. Yes, that Nadia who we meet as a smart and well-trained kid needing to look after herself in time for her mother, or the father she’s never met, to find her.

Citadel: Diana - Together

The partnership between Diana (Matilda De Angelis) and Edo (Lorenzo Cervasio) continues as she goes after the other Manticore agent. Unable, and also unwilling, to bring him in alive and turn him over to Maticore Italy, the pair arrange for his death to look like a failed assassination attempt on Edo. They are proud of their combined effort, but one person will see through their ruse throwing a spanner into the gambit to push the other Manticore organizations towards war. The moves at the end of the episode by Ettore Zani (Maurizio Lombardi) put Diana in danger and put Edo at the mercy of his father.

Citadel: Diana - War

The second episode of Citadel: Diana serves two purposes. First, it cements a secret partnership between Diana (Matilda De Angelis) and Edo (Lorenzo Cervasio) to turn the rival Manticore agencies against each other. The plan bears some early fruit, although Edo’s father continuing to sniff around Diana may eventually cause a problem (even if going with his son’s plan unintentionally saves Diana’s life while the rival Manticore agencies take out most of their other agents). Second, “War” provides flashbacks to Diana’s training from Gabriele (Filippo Nigro) for Citadel explaining her ability to lie and deceive as well as the cause of her medical condition.
