   You obviously weren’t paying attention.   
      
   Tovey’s character wasn’t woken up by any character but by   
   the loud buzzing of his top secret UNIT communicator that   
   he keeps hidden in his sock drawer. The he goes and wakes his kid.   
   Got that? Tovey is the one who wakes up the kid, not the other   
   way round!   
      
   And they’re obviously not lovers because they sleep in separate rooms!   
      
   Now there is a real plot hole that you missed. Tovey’s character is   
   an expert in booking taxis, but he doesn’t even think to call an   
   Uber for his kid instead of compromising security by getting the   
   UNIT car to take them all to his ex-wife! (RTD obviously wanted us   
   to see him with his ex in episode one, and couldn’t think of a   
   better way to do it.)
