When Elizabeth said "at least her husband's doing something" about the artist I felt like that was central to Elizabeth's character now because...what is she doing? That is, what's she doing it for? She thinks she's saving the world, but what for since she holds all humanity in contempt?

Exactly. It seems, like I think I wrote last week, that she's just playing teams now - she's not fighting for anything, just playing it out to the end she thinks is inevitable.

And when they're telegraphing her upcoming death so clearly, there has to be a twist. What would be more heartbreaking than someone who has lost all their motivations and accepted their death... only to have to live on?

If I were Paige, I'd ask Claudia for a bulletproof vest.
