God, that's just so AWFUL for Elizabeth to have to go through, and yet so perfect in that it brings it up in a way they just can't avoid confronting honestly. And also, it's kind of her turn to have to deal with the painful issues she doesn't really have any power to change--Philip got stuck in that role a lot last season, forced to accept her past affair, forced to accept that she reported on him, and sides of her that were difficult to take. I think it's really great that Elizabeth can be finally put in this position of having to buck up and deal with realities that are painful while not being tempted to cut and run.
