- Moved up from the picks: a master planner opens the door at night to strangers without looking through the peephole.
- Two random criminals happened to attack the family of a secret CIA killer; a smarter version would make the crime itself revenge.
- Nick shaking Darby's hand in front of reporters is the dumbest thing he does.
- Nobody puts a camera in Clyde's isolation cell once things start exploding.
- Clyde would have noticed the warehouse break-in, and a DA and a cop would not know how to handle bombs.
- The final crime, a briefcase bomb under a table with no camera on it, is the least inventive; a purpose beyond carnage or a Bodyguard-style camera twist would have been better.
- How Nick and the cops reach Clyde's cell before he does is unclear.
- The biggest nit: a prisoner running a climate-controlled, wired underground base like Bruce Wayne makes no sense.
- The blanket-over-pillow decoy is weak next to a favorite Eastwood prison-escape film with molded fake heads, which CR is said to love and which might be done on the show.
