The Night Agent Season 2 in brief

The Night Agent Season 2 starts with Peter becoming an on-field secret agent of the CIA's department of project 'Night Action'.  Peter has been posted in Thailand and his handler is Catherine Weaver. Peter is working along with another 'Night Action' agent Alice portrayed by Brittany Snow. Night Agent 2 Episode 1 showcases Peter and Alice tailing a suspicious man who is selling CIA's stolen intelligence to someone. However, things go haywire and Alice is shot and killed in Thailand by a group of people. 

As a result, Peter goes underground sensing someone in the CIA or the Night Action leaked intelligence or gave up their location during the Thailand operation. However, Rose Larkin uses her app Adverse to track Peter and finds him. Then, Peter and Rose join hands to know who was the person who leaked Night Action's operation. Ultimately, they stop on the term Project Foxglove.

What is Project Foxglove in The Night Agent Season 2? 

Catherine Weaver while talking to Peter in an underground basement revealed what was Project Foxglove. In episode 4 of the series, Catherine reveals, "I had an illuminating dinner conversation last night, the details of which are still incoming...Clandestine R&D program, theoretical chemists. The idea was to conceive of new synthetic weapons the US, could get ahead of, then create antidotes, and solvents, to counter their effects. The only problem with that was, they had to manufacture the chemicals to know how to stop them. The CIA, in conjunction with the US military, secretly developed nine novel chemical agents in a mobile lab, which as of Friday, has gone missing."

To make long things short, Foxglove was the CIA's secret program under which top chemical scientists were developing chemical weapons and thereafter their anecdotes so that  the US can counter any chemical weapon attack in the future. However, the project was shut down. 

Notably, after the discovery of foxglove, Rose finds out that a Chemistry professor at Columbia Dr. Wilfred Cole was part of the CIA's program in the past. Hence, she approaches him for more information. However, things again go haywire. To know what happened next, True Scoop advises you to watch The Night Agent Season 2 on Netflix.
