I think Elizabeth called Henry to say goodbye. Not because he reminds her of Philip, but because he's the only non-spy in the house, who has no idea what his mother does. When/if everything blows up, he's going to get the shock of his life. She might be dead by then, and so when that happens, she wants him to think good of her.
She's not trying to save Philip, she is truly contemptuous of him right now. Philip, on the other hand, is going against everything he believes in, because he does love Elizabeth.
In the episode, Philip said he loves Elizabeth.
"Look, I love your mother. She loves me."
But Elizabeth never said that.
And it's just as believable as his next sentence, that "everything's fine."
Elizabeth might accept Philip's help, because she really has no choice, but she really doesn't want to. She didn't call for help, even when she realized that things are extremely bad. In fact, she didn't call Philip at all. No "get the kids out before it's too late" this time.
