The Assassin – Season 1 Episode 6 Recap, Review & Ending Explained
Spain Episode 6 of The Assassin starts with Edward walking up and Marie welcoming him home. It turns out they are in Spain, and so are Luka and Julie. Thanks to an old friend of Julie and Kayla's help, Luka got to Spain and found the necessary artillery for their mission. Kayla sends Julie a message, asking her to make contact as soon as possible. However, Julie has no plans of updating Kayla until everything is done. Meanwhile, Luca kind of feels jealous of Julie's old friend. Why did Marie take Edward? As it turns out, Marie is not Edward's biological mom. She and her husband, Jean-Luc, hired a surrogate. Jean-Luc put all his love and attention into Edward. Marie tolerated Edward because of her love for her husband. After Julie killed Jean-Luc, left Marie for dead and stole Edward, Marie vowed to get vengeance. However, she was in a coma until recently. Once she fully recovered, she put her action into plan. Now, she tells Edward about his father and how Aaron Cross had Jean-Luc murdered. Of course, she is heavy on how Aaron Cross is Kayla's dad. Meanwhile, Luka and Julie watch the house from afar, waiting for nightfall to attack. As they wait, Julie confesses she sometimes struggles with the killing. She learnt to see the targets as a job, and it became easier to live with. Does Julie save Edward? After sundown, Julie infiltrates the house while Luka hangs back and helps from afar. Luka already secretly contacted Kayla and informed her of their location. To save Edward, Kayla makes a deal with Ezra, who is now the new CEO of CGM. He agrees to help Edward as long as Kayla doesn't go public about their parents' mistake. Back in the house, Julie finds Marie's art and understands her pain. Still, she has to save Edward. Julie makes her way inside the house and sets a bomb in Marie's art room. She then proceeds to find Edward. At the same time, Edward uses Julie's infiltration as a distraction to attack Marie and escape. He randomly meets Julie in one of the hallways, and they confront each other. Julie apologises for hurting Edward, killing his dad, but asks him to trust her. She wants to get him to safety and leave for good. Unfortunately, Marie poisoned Edward, and this slows him down. As things start to look bleak for Edward and Julie, Kayla arrives with her bodyguards. Marie offers to give Edward the antidote if he kills Julie. Instead of killing Julie, Edward kills Marie. On the other side of the house, Luka confronts one of the assassins who killed his friends on the island. Luka is unable to kill the man, and Kayla's guys take the man. Kayla arrives in time to call for a helicopter to rush Edward to the hospital. Out of guilt, Julie refuses to accompany him to the hospital. As for Aaron, he died, but his lawyer questions whether Ezra had anything to do with his dad's death. How does The Assassin end? Three months after the whole ordeal, Edward, Kayla, and Julie sail across the world to meet Edward's biological mom. Somehow, Edward makes peace with Julie and gives her a chance. Later, Ezra burns his mom's letter. The Episode Review After six episodes, The Assassin comes to an okay conclusion. The writing manages to keep us engaged and entertained until the end. Overall, the acting, top-tier humour and the amazing cinematography and action scenes made this series worthwhile. At some point, if you are a fan of The Good Doctor, you will find it a bit strange to see Freddie playing a new character. However, he slays his role as Edward in this show. The ending wrapped up the big plots in the show. We know that Aaron didn't send assassins after his children. However, everything started after Aaron and his wife killed Jean-Luc. Even though their parents have a messy past, Edward and Kayla's love for each other is bigger than the sins of their parents. It looks like Ezra never learned the lesson and is continuing in his father's footsteps. If anything, he killed his dad to get the company.

Tech Bytes: NASA launches solar-gazing spectrograph from White Sands
Jul. 27—A groundbreaking solar observation mission, launched from New Mexico, took less time than a typical lunch break this month. NASA on July 18 launched its Solar EruptioN Integral Field Spectrograph, or SNIFS, mission from White Sands Missile Range. The trip to observe the energy and dynamics of the chromosphere took less than 20 minutes, according to NASA. Scientists hope the mission answers questions about energy and mass flow in the chromosphere, high-frequency dynamics and the state of hydrogen's influence. Phil Chamberlin, principal investigator of the mission, told the Journal that NASA hasn't yet looked at the data, which will take a couple of weeks to obtain. The team will then spend months figuring out the images and analyzing the data, he said. "It is not a quick process," he added. ABQ's Sigma Science joining RSI EnTech Sigma Science Inc., an Albuquerque-based nuclear professional services agency founded in 1996, is joining Tennessee-based RSI EnTech. RSI serves clients in the environmental, nuclear, energy, construction and project delivery sectors, according to the company. RSI is a subsidiary of ASRC Industrial Services. The work aligns with that of Sigma Science, which has federal and commercial clients like the U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration and U.S. Department of Defense. The acquisition will help RSI strengthen its capabilities and client base "to support national defense and energy initiatives across the nuclear industry," said RSI President Allison Getsi in a news release on July 18. "Today marks a fresh start as we unite with RSI and AIS," Sigma Science President Gil Torres said in a statement. "We remain dedicated to partnering with our clients and maintaining our reputation for exceptional performance as part of the RSI family." Raton fiber project breaks ground City and state leaders joined Resound Networks on Tuesday to break ground on a fiber project in Raton that will connect 1,370 homes, businesses, farms and public institutions like fire departments and libraries to high-speed internet. Resound Networks last year received $3.1 million from the state's Connect New Mexico Fund to lay out 30 miles of fiber in Colfax County, which includes Raton. "This project demonstrates how public-private partnerships can close the digital divide in rural New Mexico, bringing economic development and telehealth opportunities to Raton families," said Jeff Lopez, director of the state Office of Broadband Access and Expansion, in a statement. The internet service provider got nearly $20 million total through the program that's designed to build out internet infrastructure and expand broadband access in underserved or unserved communities in the state — of which there are many. The Governor's Office estimated in 2023 that nearly a quarter of New Mexican households don't have access to reliable, high-speed internet. Other grants awarded through the Connect New Mexico Fund will go toward work in more than a dozen rural counties and Pueblos. Space propulsion tech proves compatable Propel Space Inc., based out of Colorado, announced last week that its PM-5 gimbal technology works with space propulsion systems and will be available beginning in 2026 as part of Orbion Space Technology's thruster technologies package. New Mexico nonprofit NewSpace Nexus praised the work, as Propel Space is a participant in its incubator buildout program, NewSpace Ignitor. "Your journey since coming through the NewSpace Nexus Ignitor program has been truly remarkable," NewSpace Nexus posted on LinkedIn. "This collaboration, enabling enhanced maneuverability, reduced attitude determination and control system impacts and improved propellant efficiency for small spacecraft, is a testament to your innovation and dedication."

Microsoft CEO addresses the recent wave of layoffs
Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, has reportedly expressed sadness over the mass layoffs the company made earlier this year, but told staff it needs to reimagine its mission for a new era. CNBC reported Nadella made the comments in a memo to staff. The news outlet explained Microsoft culled 15,000 jobs this year, with the latest round of 9,000 occurring earlier this month. After the layoffs, CNBC reported the company's stock closed above $500 for the first time on 9 July. Nadella stated the layoff decisions 'are among the most difficult we have to make'. He noted while the company is thriving, job cuts 'affect people we've worked alongside, learned from and shared countless moments with, our colleagues, teammates and friends'. Nadella called on employees to go through a process of 'unlearning' and 'learning' to meet customers' changing needs. 'We must reimagine our mission for a new era.' 'What does empowerment look like in the era of AI? It's not just about building tools for specific roles or tasks. It's about building tools that empower everyone to create their own tools. That's the shift we are driving, from a software factory to an intelligence engine empowering every person and organisation to build whatever they need to achieve.' Microsoft is making massive investments in AI. In April, it invested $1.5 billion in a minority stake in United Arab Emirates-based AI company G42, a deal giving Microsoft a seat on the board.

Russian Orthodox Church in Africa not to colonize it
The Russian Orthodox Church has never been a church of colonizers, and its growing mission in Africa should not be associated with colonial ideology, George Maximov, a priest and chairman of the Missionary Department of the Patriarchal Exarchate of Africa, has told RT. Maximov made the remarks on the sidelines of a training workshop for African bloggers held last week in the Russian city of Bryansk, where he spoke about the Orthodox faith and its role across the continent. 'We work with full respect to people, and only in countries where people invite us. We don't want to fight with someone in Africa, or against someone in Africa,' he said when asked whether Africans should be concerned about the increasing activities of the church in their countries. 'Nobody should worry. We came for people who decided to be members of our church and they have this right because in all African countries the freedom of belief is legal,' Maximov added. The Russian Orthodox Church has recently expanded its footprint in several African nations, with parishes in more than 30 states, including Angola, Burundi, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, and South Africa. The outreach comes amid broader Russian engagement on the continent, strengthening its diplomatic, economic, and security cooperation. Maximov dismissed suggestions of Kremlin influence, saying the church conducts its work independently and only engages with government or business representatives when advocating for the social needs of parishioners. He told RT that, unlike many international organizations that provide food aid to African countries and create long-term dependency, the church promotes a model focused on economic empowerment. In February, the patriarchal exarchate launched a project to provide clean drinking water to villages in northern Cameroon, following similar initiatives in Tanzania, Kenya, Malawi, and Zambia. 'We want to find ways to help them. For example, not just giving them food, but providing fertilizer at better prices so that local farmers can feed themselves. It is just one example of our position, and we try to present this position to businessmen and to our government,' he noted. Speaking on the promotion of homosexuality by Western countries, Maximov criticized donor responses that suspend humanitarian support for African governments over local anti-LGBTQ policies. 'It is an inhuman action,' he said, likening the withdrawal of aid, such as over Uganda's anti-LGBTQ laws, to punishing 'innocent' children for decisions made by political leaders. 'I am very impressed by African leaders who stay strong. In my opinion, now Africa is a leader in the defense of traditional family values from this destructive ideology,' the priest added.
