While watching thoughts
Nice cut from her to Paige, plus the reveal that Philip is talking at her.
Both look at the sound of the car arriving...
"Are you OK?"
Ha, typical Elizabeth to tell Paige off like that!
Then Henry interrupts with domesticity.
I like the shot of Philip folding his arms in the blurred background, and his sigh later as Paige is sent out into the night.
"She's pretty much seen it all now." "Not all of it."
Interesting that Elizabeth doesn't tell Philip to stop being nosey.
He didn't kill himself!
Ooh, Elizabeth is talking, a bit, and Philip is pointedly not saying he already knows some of what she's talking about. He's being a better spy than she is at the moment.
Stan giving up when being smoked at!
Elizabeth at the travel agency, shock.
A more thoughtful chat between Elizabeth and Paige, then some sales talk from Philip.
The FBI isn't more enthusiastic.
.. but the hockey chat is.
Probably not who Oleg wants to open the door to, and both of them know that.
"Bullshit".
Tender home stuff for the first time in ages.
What was the problem with eating it all?
"What the Washington Post?!?"
"You haven't talked to anyone back home for over twenty years." "Neither have you."
This is more than half the cast being tired of their job episode. (Again.) Pointedly ironic that Philip and Elizabeth are currently further apart than they have been in a long time.
'Please tell me the FBI's secrets, darling.'
He does really know how to let people down.
I'll show you mine, please show me yours.
That's dumping him in it. And her, because once the FBI has said that, she's stuffed if she stays.
'Oh, you won't see your kid.'
I was just about to type that saying his girlfriend works in security too wasn't going to do anything for his life expectancy when Elizabeth doesn't disappoint...
Back to cruising in the park.
Re: While watching thoughts
I just realized this is the dun-dun-dun moment when Elizabeth is probably going to hit her hard wall with how far she wants Paige to go.
Paige being, well, Paige, might take it into her head to hook up with someone as a way to get info. :O
