Well, it's obviously an acceptable contrivance of the story, though I suppose if you're living the espionage lifestyle you're going to examine even the smallest details and go with your instincts rather than anything concrete.
A more obvious contrivance (or something that is unrealistic but is acceptable to a point because it's TV) are the shifts in facial expression in the duplicitous characters. At the end of this episode did Lauren really have to open her eyes and stare into space like a pod person? Would her keeping her eyes closed and just smiling have been just as effective with more subtlety? Or just continued to sleep?
