I liked the little interaction Watts has at the start. He antagonises Cinder, which gives us a chance to hear her speak and show their still poor relationship, but he also shows off a more inquisitive nature by being interested in the Grimm (if he is indeed a technical expert, that's appropriate behaviour). Salem's facial expression when he does this is interesting (not sure she entirely approves but is willing to let it slide) and Watt is confident enough to delay an important report by doing this. He's a jerk but I like his character. I love that little moment when he drops the serious facade and discusses his own curiosity. As a person who enjoys learning about anything and everything, I really relate to this side of him.

I think it would have been a much funnier moment if it had been like this:

Leo: Yes, milady. I would not waste your time if I did not.

[Cuts to Salem's view of the Seer, Watts is visible walking to the left out of the frame]

Salem: What are you doing, Watts?

[Seer turns to face Watts, who appears to have been about to poke it]

Watts: Sorry, I'm just trying to examine this fascinating creature.
