One of the common threads of Slow Horses throughout its run is how carefully Jackson Lamb minds his misfit flock despite their shortcomings and their purgatorial status at Slough House.
Claude's cold-bloodedness is showcased when he issues a 'shoot to kill' order on River, revealing the vast moral gulf separating the Park from Lamb’s agents.
Lamb’s agents are like the inverse of Stephen Root's character in Office Space: They're essentially fired but still collecting checks, exposing their vulnerable status.
Taverner, who has a history of undermining Lamb, recognizes Claude’s lack of logic when he decides on a shoot-to-kill order, displaying the chaos of their hierarchy.
