1. Philip's background and a deeper look into the influences that have made him the man he is in the present.
2. The continued development of Philip and Elizabeth's relationship now that both are "all in" and have fully chosen to be married. What new things will they allow the other to learn about them? How will they grow closer? Will we ever see Elizabeth take that step to show love to Philip in words? Will we ever see Philip take that step to open himself to Elizabeth?
3. How does their family function and how will it have to change as Paige and Henry become more aware that something isn't quite right? How will this affect Philip and Elizabeth as parents and individuals? Does it bring up questions of their own childhoods and thoughts of home as they compare their upbringings to that of their children--one that is both true in some ways and false in others.
4. More of Elizabeth and Paige. There seems to be a natural rapport between Paige and her dad. Paige and Elizabeth have that classic mother/daughter strife which stems beautifully from the way they are so alike in many personality ways, but so different in upbringing. It's so fascinating for me to watch at times because I've wondered this from the very first time Elizabeth says, "She's delicate somehow," in episode two, that Paige seems to be the stubborn, truth-demanding, very vulnerable in certain ways version of her mother, as much as Henry is similar to Philip... except that it rubs because Paige is the Americanized version as much as Elizabeth is the Russian version--and only one of them understands why there's always that silent painful moment when those differences come into play.
5. More of Elizabeth and Sandra, and also Stan and Philip. I love the idea of them actually having friends with who there's no sexual undercurrent. Elizabeth has never had a real, pure friend as far as we've seen. It would be great to see her and Sandra get closer and how that might potentially influence her.
6. More background on Arkady and Nina. They got me interested in both of those characters in the last few episodes. Gaad too.
