They've used two stellar Talking Heads songs so far this season. Last week's Listening Wind is such an evocative song and fit the context so well.

Perhaps the series will end with a montage of Philip and, especially, Elizabeth killing people to the soundtrack of Pyscho Killer.

Or, even better, of Paige killing people.

Or a lone Elizabeth watching McDonald's set up shop at the Moskva River, to the tune of "Take Me To The River"...
