Nice reminder in the previously that Oleg isn't safe from two sides...
Some pointed 'watching you' camera work on Philip as he approaches the dead letter box.
Oh no, your neighbours don't have a criminal record :) Interesting that he looks up Elizabeth first.
Wouldn't searches be logged, with the potential for Stan to be asked why he's looking up these names?
I do wonder what Elizabeth could do if someone competent tried to assassinate him.
Look who's come through the door.
'We made a new set' :)
Ha at the fight being about "work"!
That's a small flashback.
At last, one legitimate lead for Stan to follow up..
.. albeit done incredibly badly by him.
Nice ethical dilemma for Pastor Tim, who clearly isn't saying quite a lot in his responses. "Not really" isn't a 'no', it's an invitation to ask more.
More odd flashback.
Similarly Stan's clearly wanting to talk to Dennis about something rather than just socialise.
Love the 'Are you losing it?' look Dennis gives Stan.
Second questioning of a priest this episode, pointedly different from the first. And this one is a lot happier to talk. To the point that I wonder why they had to "insist" he came in.
This is when you want a diplomatic passport!
Ah, these flashbacks are Elizabeth being like Paige.
Why on earth wasn't what he picked up plausibly deniable? And what's so incriminating about it that Oleg doesn't just laugh when told he's facing a lifetime in prison?
It'd be funny if it's Renee who Elizabeth is about to kill. Hopefully correctly.
'Stan, let's break the rules again.'
'Nah, do a much bigger betrayal that'd have you killed.'
(The lighting of this scene doesn't work for me - it's far too artistic for a real cell.)
Speaking of much bigger betrayals... 'Hi, Claudia, I've killed your killer and told the people I have suddenly decided are the good guys on our side everything'.
I'm not buying Claudia's reaction either. It should be pulling a gun for a start.
(Interesting camera work - from the side, Claudia is shown close to the side of the screen she's looking at, whereas Elizabeth is much further away in more than one way.)
I do like the way Claudia ends the conversation though, eating the nice Russian food. I'd be on the phone as soon as the door closes though!
Deliberate choice not to show whether Father Andrei's being watched before this meeting with Philip. (Looks at episode number) He probably is, though, isn't he? And if this is being photographed, as it should be, even Stan should be able to recognise Philip.
He's going down some long streets, rather than short ones with lots of corners to go round. Ah, at last, somewhere with lots of options for him to take.
'That's great you shagged him for fun, I've just ended both our careers...'
Ha!! Paige going "Was it you?!?" about shagging the intern is the best confrontation of the series. I said Elizabeth should have killed him.
Pointed 'don't lie to me' from Paige given what Elizabeth said to Claudia.
I'd be bringing up how naive Paige was over the idea of sex for food.
Erm, why isn't Elizabeth getting out asap?? The chances of someone from the Centre being out to get revenge is 'almost certain', I'd have thought. Instead, never mind doing normal stuff in the kitchen a few scenes ago, she's smoking inside.
At last, even if it takes a coded 'It's all gone pear-shaped' call from Philip to get her on the run.
I'd have thought the escape kit would be permanently packed! And to have some way to quickly destroy anything that shouldn't end up in the FBI's hands.
Nice that it doesn't end with a the clunky cliffhanger I was fearing, while still setting up the next episode nicely.
