Only got to watch the episode this morning. I thought it was brilliant, though I agree with beer_good_foamy that Stan's suspicions about the Jenningses, though not without precedent, feel to me mainly plot driven.

Also, I agree with those who feel Philip is going to die. Unfortunately, I do too. He just seems to have lost hope completely.

The actress playing Erika is absolutely brilliant.
