Throughout the season, Peter follows his own path, uncertain of whom to trust. When left alone with Solomon, he makes the bold choice to release him in exchange for being led to Jacob (Louis Herthum), the mastermind behind the trades. While this decision seems questionable, it highlights Peter’s determination to operate on his own terms.
Fans were stunned by Peter’s risky move in The Night Agent season 2. After all the effort to capture Solomon—who had killed Alice and nearly taken his and Rose’s lives—his release felt almost unthinkable.
3) Solomon's fatal betrayal of the French diplomat

Peter's decision to lie to Noor about Farhad’s death is as shocking as Sami killing him in self-defense. When Peter receives the call, his reaction speaks volumes—he hides his distress and reassures Noor that everything went smoothly.
This marks a significant shift in Peter’s character in The Night Agent; it is a choice the old Peter would never have made, leaving fans in disbelief. However, Peter recognizes the importance of the files Noor holds and understands that protecting them could save countless lives, making the lie feel necessary.
Rose, sensing something is off, uncovers the truth but decides to continue the deception. She tells Noor that Farhad simply broke his arm in a scuffle and is fine, leaving everyone stunned that Rose, too, chose to lie.
Noor’s betrayal of both the CIA and Iran deepens the plot, escalating the tension throughout the season. These events unfold alongside other shocking moments in the show.
