If you'd like to talk about narrative problems with this story — like plot holes and things that seem to contradict other stories — please go to this episode's discontinuity discussion.

• Esther hangs up the phone to Rex after he gives her the names of the three families, but the call somehow stays connected.
• When Brian Friedkin interrogates Rex, his voice isn't turned into the generic male voice by the Eye-5 contact lenses.

Continuity

• Jack mentions Ianto when he is talking to Angelo, asking him whether he saw Ianto while watching Jack, and speculates about whether the two would have liked each other or not.
