Catching up to Charles Devereaux (Richard Armitage) in Iran, Lara Croft (Hayley Atwell) manages to save Jonah (Earl Baylon) but ends up even further behind her competition as Devereaux finds another stone. Highlights of the episode are Lara’s skydiving into Iran and the fight on the bullet train. The episode is also notable for Lara being unable to talk Devereaux down from his obsession and for Camilla Roth (Zoe Boyle) discovering that the Light are up to something as it appears another player is about to enter the game.

With no leads to follow Charles Devereaux (Richard Armitage), Lara Croft (Hayley Atwell) heads to Paris to investigate what led him to seek out the stones and more information about The Light.

The second episode of the series takes an impatient Lara Croft (Hayley Atwell) and Jonah (Earl Baylon) to a small village in China in search of the matching box to the one that was stolen from Croft Manor. The hunt for the temple is sidetracked by the needs of a local village whose children have gone missing. Choosing to help, Lara’s side quest will actually lead her to the object she was seeking while also releasing a trapped spirit and saving the children. The episode doesn’t do much to push the story forward, however, it does give us Lara problem solving in a tomb and getting her groove back.
