Contains spoilers for '3 Body Problem' Episode 4

LONDON, ENGLAND: The latest addition to Netflix's science fiction library is '3 Body Problem', which is based on the book of the same name by Chinese author Liu Cixin. 

The series, which was first announced in September 2020, is helmed by David Benioff and D.B. Woo. Further, the 'Game of Thrones' creators are also joined by Alexander Woo, as they chronicle the story of a group of scientists, who attempt to explore an existential planetary threat.

The fourth episode of the series, 'Our Lord', has to be one of the most insightful episodes of the show, as it uncovers a deeper mystery underlying the unusual events the world is witnessing.

In this episode, the stunning truth about the leader of an extremist group dedicated to San-Ti is revealed.

The episode begins with Oxford Five dealing with the devastating death of Jack Rooney (John Bradley).

Jin Cheng (Jess Hong) and Augustina "Auggie" Salazar (Eiza González) are seen at Wade's (Liam Cunningham) office.

Wade inquires about Jin's desire to attend the mysterious summit, and Jin questions how he learned about the invitation.

He didn't offer an appropriate response and instead asked her if she wanted to live her life regretting that she might have done something to save Jack or go to the summit to expose the true culprit.

The next day, Jin says she is ready to attend the conference but is unsure because she is not a spy.

Da Shi (Benedict Wong) assures her that he will keep her safe and asks her to talk less, allowing them to learn more about the private conference.

After getting through the security check, Jin is led to the private summit, with Da Shi following her.

After reaching the venue, she sees Tatiana (Marlo Kelly), who hugs her and expresses her condolences for the death of Jack, despite the fact that she murdered him.

However, Jin was horrified to learn that the organization's chief was none other than Ye Wenjie (Rosalind Chao), whom she had always regarded as a mother figure.

Wenjie welcomes Jin with a hug and delivers an impassioned speech, gushing about San-Ti's technological advancements. 

However, things took a dramatic turn when Wade's SWAT squad assaulted the summit

Wenjie encourages everyone to keep calm and claims it is their lord's will, but Tatiana discharges her gun at one of the SWAT members, causing mayhem. Tatiana attempts to shoot Jin as well, but Da Shi intervenes to save her.

'3 Body Problem' is now streaming on Netflix
