Help?!

I dropped a stitch when attaching yarn for a forethought heel. Toe down sock, stitch on the toe-side of the hole so the stitches are 'upside down'. I cannot get my brain around how to pick it up properly. Anyone with a (link to a) good explanation? I really don't want to unravel the whole foot.

Edit: it’s technically picked up in the pic, but it doesn’t look right in the red/pink colorwork (gaping stitches). I’m looking for the ‘correct’ way to fix.

@pointysticksncoffee I can't see the dropped stitch. Sometimes we see the mistakes that others won't. If it's in the color-work, I think you're going to have to ask yourself how big a deal it really is. If you could pick it up, you would still have an irregularity because you'd be shoving the existing ones aside, using yarn that isn't there, if that makes sense. If it were me, I'd just accept it.

@temporal_spider @HelenLockhart The stitch is 'picked up' in the image, as in, there's no loose stitches and I have the required amount of stitches on the needles. In the red/pink colorwork there are now gaps and irregularities that I really don't want there (it's the bottom side of the heel), so I wonder how I can go back and fix correctly.

It seems to me that the colour work is correct. If this is true, then the problem is just about the tension. You can fix that by gently pulling the stitches to the sides of the loose ones until the tension is distributed more evenly.
