Watched it last night. Good, exciting episode, with the usual Recurring Pattern (fail once or twice before you succeed), which applies to Our Heroes, the government agent, and his wife. It also follows the pattern of heterosexual involvements: HH interacts with the experienced woman, KC is sweet to the ingenue. And it contains two unforgettable moments.
The first one is when the government agent's wife, frustrated, bored and in search of diversions, starts flirting with Heyes, then looks straight at him and asks: "What do you and Mr Jones do?" Brief (significant) pause. Then she adds, "For a living, I mean." And all HH can do is change the mood from intense to lighthearted: "As little as possible, ma'am."
The second one is the lovely "I like it when you worry, Kid. I can trust you to look after me better."
