One of the ways David Vincent could tell
a humanoid was actuallly one of the aliens
was that they had a telltale misconfigured finger

A couple of months ago he was getting
friendly with the obligatory hot gal, and
it turned out she was... an alien.

But her fingers were perfect.

She said something to him like "sorry,
Mr. Vincent, but sometimes we get it right."

Anyone recall this scene and which
episode it was in?

Thanks muchly

“Some of us learn. We’re always learning.”

I know exactly what you’re talking about.
It’s the Pilot episode. BEACHHEAD. Obviously season one, some sources
call
it episode zero, some call it episode one.
The alieness in question is the delectable Diane Baker.

It’s hard to give you a timestamp because there are different length cuts >> of the pilot. But I knew right where it was so I found a copy on YouTube
and dead reckoned to it.

39 minutes and 30 seconds

That's a very odd length for a pilot in those days. After all, there
weren't nearly as many commercials then. It might make sense if it was
one of the tiny handful of 45 minute shows, like The New People, from
roughly the same era but I don't remember The Invaders being 45 minutes....

Strangely enough, when I actually clicked on the link, it said 48
minutes and 55 seconds which is far more reasonable. Beats me why you
said it was 39:30....
