Lastly: is the Sam Nunez intern Elizabeth is trying to hook the same one Paige wanted to win as an asset, or is it someone else? *is bad at youthful faces, apparantly*

I think that kid's name was Brian and this one was Jackson. I noticed that too. Also Paige's guy was hunkier. She would probably never have gone for sensitive French movie loving guy (who might be gay for all we know).

And he does want to help the mother country into a better future, which, ironically, is why I suspect Elizabeth in the end might see this as less of a betrayal than a point blank refusal to spy, full stop.

I tend to see it that way too. She'd be relieved that he cared.
