So apparently p'ek has super human reflexes...
Anyway, I was totally with Irene, annoyed with Karan's bossy demeanor. She's not going to hide from the outside world, no matter how dangerous things are - her father is gone and half of her colleagues are dead. If I was her, I wouldn't sit around and obey someone I only met a few weeks ago. I know this gives the leads the opportunity to get closer and fall in love, but I gotta roll my eyes at how high and mighty Karan behaves sometimes. "You're under my protection so I will make all of your decisions for you." I would rather not be under his protection if that was real life, especially when the "safe place" he brought her to is open for his mom and any other random person to enter and insult her. You can't tell me the military can't even provide an actual safe house for someone who's as important as Irene is.
I can give Karan the tiniest bit of leeway since he lost the love of his life and is now uber paranoid and insecure and doesn't want to "fail" at protecting someone else again. Not an excuse for being so gruff with Irene, but she can handle him AND is strong enough to be part of the rescue mission. I like her sarcasm and the fact she can stand up for herself. They make a good match.
