Tactical chats in the movies tend to take place in underground car parks or while sitting on a park benches wearing sunglasses. However, Lauren and Adam are locked in a bedsit in Borehamwood and have to make do with what's going.

The kitchen sink was the spot Adam chose to brief Lauren on the House dramas of the day. She was only too keen to listen. "Fill me in because I'm deaf to some stuff," she said while scrubbing the residue of lasagne off a plate.

Adam leaned in and lowered his voice and it got painfully hard to listen, particularly with Conor and Arron whoopin' and hollerin' in the background.

"MumblemumblemumbleBeckySarayelling mumble," we picked up.
"WhoophollerAshleighslappedLukebuttheymadeuphollerwhoop."

With Lauren sufficiently impressed, the former drill sergeant sensed a true student and launched some tips on how to become an intelligence sponge.

"When you're in the area and they begin to rant about something, listen. Next time there's free info around, you suck it up without being noticed because they're not going to talk to you openly."

Wise words, Adam. We hope Mi5 are taking note.

Luke A then sauntered over in time to agree that the Insiders will self-destruct and all the Outsiders need to do is "keep it real". The three then enjoyed an optimistic group hug.
