That said, find out everything you need to remember from Jack Ryan's third season to keep up with the new season!

Episode 1

Jack Ryan completes a mission to retrieve information about a possible Russian nuclear weapon. When he goes to pick up the cargo on a Russian freighter, it turns out to be a scientist seeking asylum. He has been working on Sokol, a once-defunct Russian project that seeks to create a nuclear bomb impossible to track with military radar. At the same time, the Russian Defense Minister was assassinated in front of the Czech Republic's president (Nina Hoss), and the shooter was killed by a member of her security, Radek. When the mission goes wrong and Yuri is killed in front of Jack, the CIA needs a fall guy, and Jack goes on the run.

Episode 2

It's revealed that the new Defense Minister, Alexi Petrov, was behind Popov's assassination. Petrov assigns Luka to find and bring in Jack Ryan, who has a red notice issued against him by the CIA. What we didn't see coming was that the woman who framed the scoundrel as the assassin is Radek's wife, chief of security for Alena Kovac.

Episode 3

Greer updates President Kovac about the situation in Russia. Popov was pretending to be a hardliner, but wanted reform in the Russian government – that's why they think he was killed. However, Kovac's most trusted advisor is her father, Petr. So why is he taking the new Russian Defense Minister, Petrov, out on a night hunt and drinks? Greer investigates the assassination and finds a video showing Radek leaving her side well before the shooting. He relays this information to Kovac that he could be the mole inside her operation. And in an even bigger twist, it's revealed that the notorious Kremlin agent Luka is feeding the United States information about Sokol. Finally, Jack finds a friend in Mike November, who gets him out of the country and to a safe location. [caption id="attachment_255963" align="aligncenter" width="1284"] Image: Decider[/caption]

Episode 4

Greer discovers that Radek used to serve under Petr Kovac's command in the Czech Republic's military in his unit, so there has to be a connection between the two. Jack and November plan a sting on a Hungarian arms dealer to get information about Sokol's location. The episode ends with Radek kidnapping his president.

Episode 5

It turns out that Radek thinks the secret plan has gone too far and is trying to save Alena in the end, but the trap he set for his old mentor fails, and Petr kills them both. Petr tells his daughter that he pulled the strings so she would be elected so he could have access and information, which is power. He wants to bring back the old Russia. In other words, make Russia great again. We also learn that Petr used to be a Russian soldier who barely escaped being shot for treason for trying to prevent Makosla's killing. When Jack and a team try to protect Sokol from Makosla's sights, Luka escapes with the weapon. Why? Because he has to track the man pulling the strings, the only way to do that is to put the bomb in his hands.

Episode 6

Jack and Mike devise a plan to intercept Sokol by detonating it under a mountain in a parking garage ramp that was placed inside a NATO vehicle. It was revealed that the group behind this plot made Sokol look like a bomb made in the United States. Petr is captured by Luka and handed over to the authorities. However, arranging this NATO vehicle moving nuclear material is the final escalation to a large-scale war between Russia and the United States.

Episode 7

The penultimate episode reveals a plan called "Crossbow", which is more about power than a nuclear weapon. Sokol, according to Jack, was never about a nuclear weapon or starting a war. It was always about power. He finds a note proving an attempt to overthrow the Russian president and initiate a large-scale war escalation with the United States.

Episode 8

Greer offers Petrov asylum in the United States, but he refuses. At that exact same moment, Kovac plays a tape of Petrov confessing to the coup to overthrow her presidency. The Russian president's security then kills Petrov when they're sent to arrest him and he draws a gun. Jack lands on a U.S. warship, and Luka boards a Russian one seeking to initiate a conflict that will trigger another world war. Luka manages to apprehend the Russian commander, who is part of the Crossbow operation, and Jack prevents the ship's captain from following the rules of engagement.
