Even if one/both end up dead, or one/both end up jailed or deported, I am still holding out hope that love will win out over duty. Philip hesitated committing to Oleg's request because of his love for Elizabeth. He almost went along with the Kimmy plan out of love for Elizabeth. And she was correct when she said that she hadn't asked for much since she took on the solo responsibility for all their spying in order to spare him - which she did because she loved him. Elizabeth's extreme behavior this season is because she's been pushed beyond her own limits due to her love for him. So if this episode offers up even a thread of hope that Philip will still see that side of Elizabeth, there's still hope that they will find their love for each other again before it's too late. Even if they go down in flames, I want them to go down together, knowing that their love for each other was the only true thing in their lives.
