In one of the recaps linked to somebody said something really wonderful about Elizabeth this way. It was talking about how this ep, with the two separated, really showed you how they're both uniquely great spies in their own way in terms of how they relate to people. Philip is interested in people so is very good at going straight to their emotions--that's how he talks to Fred.
Where as Elizabeth "brings people back to themselves" with her demeanor. The Sandanista starts out hysterical and Elizabeth's manner just completely reinvests her and focuses her on the cause because she's so sincerely a symbol of it. The review described her as a human finger down the throat. LOL!
It's interesting, though, that we really don't see Philip or Elizabeth using this stuff on the other. At least not since their fight in the pilot over Timoshev and defection.
