Echo 3 episode 7 opens with Bambi, Prince and their fellow soldier discussing their next move. They keep waiting for Tariq’s call, but they are met with disappointment. On the other hand, Bambi’s mother and Prince’s mother-in-law arrive in Venezuela to meet with them. She finds an arsenal in the room and a man locked up in the next, raising multiple questions.

While Bambi and Prince were away from the house, a few assassins broke into the house to free the DJ they had abducted. In a shootout, the soldier kills two assassins, but a third one arrives from the back of the house and shoots him dead. As the assassin is about to free the captured, Maggie manages to kill him with the gun she found earlier.

Prince and Bambi arrive at the chaotic scene and decide to send Maggie back home as she was visibly shaken by the incident. Then both of them decide to commence the second phase of their plan. They take a long drive to the city’s outskirts with the victim and video-call Tariq to threaten him. They inform him that they will kill his brother if he does not free Amber. The negotiation did not go as they expected, as Tariq did not agree to any of the terms.

With no other option left, they decide to go to war to free Amber from the clutches of the militants. After meeting up with a CIA agent, they start to carry out the operation, and the episode ends on a cliffhanger.

Echo 3 Episode 7 Review

The new episode was not as exciting as the previous ones. The plot is predictable, and there is no new revelation until the last few minutes. The story’s progression has been slow and going on a constant loop. There is also no development of the characters, which is disappointing. The action sequence is also underwhelming and does not add much to the story.

However, the cinematography, visuals and direction were flawless, which was the only good thing about the episode. Performances by the actors were adequate, and they did what the script demanded. Martina Gusmán delivered a satisfactory performance and outshined everyone else.

Echo 3 Episode 7 is now streaming on Apple Tv+.
