But I don't understand how Nicholas Blake was with Nightingale. At the beginning of series 8 it was Blake that warned Harry about a meeting in Basel. If you're involved with some secret group like Nightingale surely you wouldn't go and tell Harry Pearce and simply hope he wouldn't find out.
But it was an excellent scene.

Y'know, sometimes you just have to go with whatever is happening because it works for the ep. I think you're right about Blake warning Harry about Nightingale and then being part of the group being somewhat inconsistent, but they needed it to happen this way so that the "pile on" effect for Harry (Ros' death, Ruth's refusal, Blake's betrayal) brings him to the edge. The ep certainly seemed to do that, in spades.
