Inside The Episodes

Mark has a hunch that Erica will be targeted at a big finance conference, so he gets assigned as her security detail. To Mark’s shock and dismay, ‘Mother’ breaks cover. In the guise of an American businessman he charms Erica into divulging information despite Mark’s best efforts to protect her.

In terms of production, this is one of the most complex episodes. Rob and Jim describe the twin challenges of shooting in a city and using a little bit of suggestion and deception to create an authentic looking conference ‘hotel’. Perry gives a bit more context on why Mark squirms quite so much when he encounters Kevin Mitnick.
