I've always felt that young Elizabeth was motivated more by a sense of moral outrage and a fear of failing the state rather than by a fear of being disloyal. Possibly we're just using different terms to say the same thing, since in Soviet Russia, disloyalty was failure. Failing was disloyal.
So far as Paige is concerned, she may have traded in Pastor Tim for Claudia, but if I were Claudia, I would be wary. Paige seems to want and need a cause to believe in, but if she can ditch Christianity after being baptized, she can just as easily ditch communism when the next cool idea comes along. Toss over Pastor Tim and he'll just pray for you and hope that you find your way back to Jesus. Toss over an undercover KGB agent and they aren't going to be so kind.
I hadn't really given much thought to Philip's family in Russia. that storyline was so poorly handled last season that I think I put Mischa Jr and Philip's brother entirely out of my mind. I wonder if we'll see them this season.
