Who's the mole in Citadel in Prime Video's 'Citadel: Honey Bunny'?
'Citadel: Honey Bunny' Episode 5 ended on a major cliffhanger, revealing there's a mole in Citadel that has been helping Guru (Kay Kay Menon) for the last year. In Episode 6, Honey meets Shaan (Sikandar Kher) and discloses that the agency's traitor is none other than Zooni (Simran Bagga), widow of Rinzel, head of Citadel.
A flashback takes us to the time when Guru was captured by Citadel agents after Honey double-crossed him. When Zooni interrogated him at the detention center, Guru revealed that he didn't kill Rinzel but the events portrayed him as one. After Rinzel's death, Citadel labeled him as a traitor. He went into hiding and decided to pursue the dream he and Rinzel were working on-- to start their own foundation against Citadel. Zooni initially didn't believe Guru but she was eventually convinced when she saw the proof from his memory vault that he mentioned.
Though the foundation orchestrated Guru's freedom from the detention center, it all happened with Zooni's help, who eventually joined his mission. In the forward timeline, Honey and Bunny are able to crack the mystery as Guru resumes his mission with Zooni as his primary contact.

During the epic confrontation, Bunny destroys Armada but spares Guru's life, saying that he is a changed man now. Realizing that the thing he worked for years, is destroyed, he asks KD (Saqib Saleem), his other mentee to back off and let Honey Bunny go.
