Watched this today, so I am catching up a little quicker now. At first, I found the time jump quite jarring, but on second thoughts it makes perfect sense. Things have been so tense all season with the Martha situation and it really couldn't go on that way, so the focus had to shift, which it clearly wasn't going to do until Philip had had a little time to breathe and get over it. I suppose likewise with Elizabeth and Lisa, though since we haven't seen Lisa all season the way that storyline ended didn't have the same emotional impact that the Philip/Martha stuff had.

The fact that Gabriel tells P&E only to continue with the Kimmie/Young Hee operations (though we still don't know what the Young Hee operation is about) suggests that these are things they will go back to, which is satisfying, in that it doesn't leave anything hanging, though with the Kimmie situation also a little jarring as it's the first we've heard of her this season.

Every conversation in this episode (with the possible exception of Elizabeth/Lisa, as that was just a means to an end) was pure gold. I love this show so much and am so glad the show will continue.
