6. How Does Elena Find Nate?

Not the second time, as we know that happens through Sully providing a helping hand. No, the first time - Nate, Sam and Sully get back from that phenomenal crane-chase sequence, come bumbling in through the door and Elena is just... there.

Obviously the confrontational setup highlights the clashing of Nate's two lifestyles and the suddenness is essential to that reveal, but the whole time during, I was sat thinking "How the hell did you find us?!"

Elena herself notes that Drake is a "a hair off course" from 'the Malaysia trip' he's been lying about, and although Fisher is a great journalist, there's not a single line devoted to how she figured out the truth, tracked him to a different continent and then found the specific hotel room the trio were staying in.

Being her other appearance is addressed later on - and head-on - I'd of liked a little something to flesh this particular twist out.
