Like, when Philip talked about hockey, my instinctive reaction to Elizabeth's face then was "holy crap, I think Elizabeth thinks the hockey is a lie". And it wasn't.
Yes, I love that bit. She really just can't understand how playing hockey could be so important as to warrant a revelation, but for Philip it totally does. And it doesn't have to be a big revelation.
Do we still think he doesn't actually exist? I'm still kind of on that train.
I couldn't help but think that once again, Mischa Jr.'s life is awfully convenient. He was sent to Afghanistan just as Philip needed a kick in the pants about Kimmie. Now that Gabriel sees he needs to ease up, he's back home.
It would certainly make for a nice parallel with Martha. She needed to think Clark loved her in the end. Philip has accepted this lie about his son and Gabriel's going to use it to make him feel okay for once. He's with his grandfather. Yeah, why not?
