PARIS, FRANCE: Things are escalating quickly in Hulu's thriller miniseries 'The Veil', which stars Elisabeth Moss and Yumna Marwan in pivotal roles.

The series, created by Steven Knight, is laced with espionage drama, with numerous intelligence agencies across the globe attempting to determine whether an ordinary French woman, Adilah El Idrissi (Yumna Marwan), is the dreaded leader of ISIS, Djinn Al Raqqa.

Enter experienced MI6 agent Imogen Salter (Elisabeth Moss), renowned for her unconventional methods. She befriends Adilah hoping to discover her identity, but what appears is hardly the truth, since things are more intricate than Imogen could have anticipated.

In the third episode, it was revealed that an attack on America was being planned, which would only result in damage and loss of life. But when is this attack going to happen? Is it scheduled for the fourth episode?

The horrible deaths of terrorists act as a warning of imminent catastrophe

The third episode of the series provides a more comprehensive exploration of the imminent terrorist attack, purportedly orchestrated by the female commander of ISIS, which is supposed to be Adilah.

The episode also features one of the most chilling deaths in the series, as two guys are shown visiting an abandoned hospital where they have been directed to gather radioactive cores from outdated radiology equipment, which makes it clear that the terrorist assault will be biological warfare.

The men were aware that if they were exposed to radiation, they would undoubtedly perish. Still, they follow their strategy and successfully retrieve the cores, albeit dying in the process.

On the other side, it was discovered that Emir (Alec Secareanu), whom Adilah previously communicated with, was observed leading a cargo ship to American beaches, perhaps carrying the same radiated cores meant for the assault.

This confirms that the stakes are high this time since the attack might kill millions of innocent lives.

When will the terror attack happen in 'The Veil'?

Given the series' narrative, it is reasonable to conclude that the alleged terror attack will not take place in the fourth episode.

As of now, Imogen is shown attempting to gain the confidence of Adilah, whom she plainly believes is the Djinn Al Raqqa; therefore, it is probable that all of her efforts will be directed toward discovering Adilah's true identity and uncovering the truth behind her father's murder in the upcoming episode.

On the other side, Adilah will meet the sender of the enigmatic letter, who asked that she meet with him along with 'her'. It is worth noting that the identity of 'her' will be revealed in the forthcoming episode.

Furthermore, the episode title, 'Declassified,' confirms that the terror attack will not take place in the fourth episode, implying that the episode would most likely focus on Imogen's search for the truth behind her father's death.

Max Peterson (Josh Charles) may probably hand over Imogen her father's classified papers that expose the ties between the TDKP and the CIA at the time her father was working.

Overall, it is reasonable to anticipate that Episode 4 will not include the terror attack since other narrative pieces that are still being developed.
