In answer to the previous point, Jamie has been in prison all night and he's released early in the morning, before daybreak. By the time he gets home and Alex offers him a cup of tea the sun has risen. (edit)
The outside of Jamie's parents house (where he previously lived in Seasons 1 - 3) has changed, and it is now a completely different house. The only explanation for this is that his parents have moved, but this is not stated in the episode at all. (edit)
When Jamie, Sooz and Alex leave the prison, it's night-time and it's dark. But when they return home, we see the gas man at the door, and on the intercome, it's clearly broad daylight outside. (edit)
