Line 25:
* In "The Maltese Falcon Job" The {{spoiler|gunshot wound Nate suffers}} doesn't make any sense. He's able to {{spoiler|completely shrug it off like he never got hurt, stand up straight and walk around for minutes after without showing any pain, the side he was shot on is the opposite side that he was presenting to the shooter, and there's no hole ine his coat where a bullet might have torn through, but when The Plot Demands It he collapses in pain and is nearly bleeding to death.}}
** It's very possibly to hide the severity of an injury for a good length of time before it becomes too much and overwhelms you, especially with something like a {{spoiler|non-lethal gunshot where the main threat is of blood loss}}. Even if you're not as willful a person as {{spoiler|Nathan Ford}}.
** You dump enough adrenaline in someone and its entirely possible they can fail to even ''notice'' they've been shot -- until they've bled out enough that the drop in blood pressure catches up to them and suddenly they start feeling lightheaded. There is a reason that the US Army's combat lifesaver course teaches people to take a moment out to look at themselves and ''visually'' check for any new holes in their anatomy immediately after having ducked behind cover to avoid enemy fire, and that's because the human body's reaction to trauma is often far, far weirder than people would assume.
* Another complaint about The Maltese Falcon Job: At the beginning of the episode it's pointed out that they're not going to get out of the city with anything but "the clothes on our backs" before they go hide out in the hotel. Once inside, every member of the team changes clothes at least once (Eliot wears a sweatsuit, Parker wears a maid uniform, Hardison wears a suit, Nate and Tara both put on more casual outfits). Where the heck did these clothes come from? I can imagine Parker lifted the maid uniform, but what about the rest? It especially bugs me with Nate and Tara because what they end up wearing genuinely looks like it came from their own closets and we know they weren't carrying around a change of clothes.
** You put the greatest thief in the world in a midtown hotel and she can probably scare up clothing in your size without having to think about it too hard.
