I thought that this had echoes of Beth "appearing" to be disgusted/disdainful regarding Kai* being turned so easily. A kind of master/slave psychological power game in running an asset.

Meanwhile, a great performance from Benedict Wong, but still slightly disconcerting to see him as a quinruple agent after only associating him with Vince in Fifteen Stories High!

As much as I like Robert Glenister as an actor, I always thought that the writers had him saying the most obvious things: "You must stop it!" "You must find him!" and so on. If I were in Harry's shoes, I would have long since replied with a "Oh, well, if you think so. I'd intended letting the bomb detonate and killing dozens of innocent people. But thanks for the tip.". At least with the current HS the dialogue isn't so trite (thus far)
