OK, JHyde, I went back and watched again, concentrating on the lips (not in a kinky way, though). You're right -- there are places throughout the ep where several of the women particularly have really pink lips, specifically Baisley's ex, Ros and Sarah. And you can actually tell when new make-up was applied because it's not consistent within scenes. Also, the lighting is different in the ep -- not as dark as previously, so the lip gloss (or whatever it is) stands out even more. Very weird once you start paying attention.

Caught another glaring continuity error this time through. In the scene where Tariq texts Baisley, he types "Answer this if you want to live." The screen shot of Baisley's phone reads "Answer this if you want to LIVE." Then we go back to the grid and see his text again with "live" in lower case letters. Oops!

I've decided Tariq is a keeper -- he was really awesome in this ep (sorry Malcolm). T did a great job in the conference room scene (Harry looking on like a proud papa, lol) and was in total command running the op from the surveillance van during the scene with Lucas in Perrot's office. However, it's still like he sprang whole from Zeus's head. If we don't get some info about him soon, I may start believing that.

Also noticed that when Ruth tells Harry that Ros hasn't been in touch and they don't know where she is, H doesn't seem at all concerned leading me to surmise that H sent R to rough up Perrot. Ah well, "needs must" as H is fond of saying.

Because Ruth was the only other person in the room who had any idea what in the world he was talking about! Is there anything this woman doesn't know?
