Philip, Philip...what are you doing?

What verb Stan ÚSES in: "Help me something Martha"?

[theplatonicnonyeah]

Trap, I think.

[sistermagpie]

Track or trap?

[saraqael]

Pretty sure he says track.

[theplatonicnonyeah]

It's warbled, but in a way I think that would make more sense. Trapping someone implies he already knows what she's up to and I don't think he does.

[saraqael]

I agree. Right now Stan is just suspicious. He's been suspicious of Martha for a while. Even assuming he thinks that Gene did kill himself because he was the mole, that doesn't resolve Stan's suspicions about Martha.

Is the person that Philip chases and strangles(?) in the park William? The scene flies by so quickly that I can't tell. It's making me wonder if William either shoots Gabriel, or else accidentally (intentionally?) exposes Gabriel to a pathogen of some sort.

[sistermagpie]

I can't tell, but it doesn't really look like either of them to me. I could totally be wrong, but I tried to pause it. It could actually be a person we don't know, a bystander who's wherever they are. I had an impression of maybe a younger guy.

[saraqael]

I couldn't really tell either. I just assumed it was Philip. I actually hope it isn't him. Give him a one week break from murdering people. Given the title of the episode, perhaps the Jennings will take a vacation in Orlando and go to Disney World. :) Get to see America at its most artificial!

[sistermagpie]

Oh, I totally thought it was Philip. I meant the other guy didn't look like Pastor Tim or William. I hope he's not killing somebody too, though!
