Ok, the names are withheld to protect the innocent...
Given the auction, I think RHO made a mistake on the first trump lead, but who would blame somebody for playing second hand low on a 5 lead?

Dummy leads trump 5 at trick 6 and wins the trick, stealing an extra trick. (I think.)

I think everyone would blame them when their partner has already ruffed with the king...

The real coup would be if north had ruffed with the K with KJ or something, that would be amazing

Interesting bridge hands does not mean moronic declarer plays and defenses in the same board.
Declarer did not play Q of ♠ at T1, which is auto imo. Which could have encouraged S to play his stiff club, right there you have your extra trick. Declarer also failed to cash ♥A incase N ruffed with K from KJ, instead he played for a % 0.0001 odd, which was expecting S to play low from JTx when his pd ruffed with K as Justin already stated. His decsison was the winning line just because W and S deserved each other.
If this is interesting to you, rent GIB and you will have an interesting life ever after !

The deal is amusing and, as usual, JLOGIC's remarks (and yours) are instructive
Incidentally, The site of Thomas Andrews illustrates how GIB and dealer can be used to remarkable effect

This is just poor defence. I offer the following 2 oddities:
Playing an excellent but thin slam, the only possible losers being in the trump suit of Q982 opposite A107654 or similar, certainly KJ3 are missing. First round of trumps goes 2-3-4-discard.
Playing in a 4-3 fit in 3♥, much ruffing and overruffing goes on, and the final 2 tricks are won by my 5 and 4 of trumps, while one of the opps follows with the 3 and 2.

Truscott wrote about a similar hand, where after the ruffing and overruffing went on awhile, a defender switched to a trump (first time the suit was actually led) and it went 2-3-4-5.
If you put an accurate skill level in your profile, you get a bonus 5% extra finesses working. --johnu
