I'm also pretty sure half the things he was saying (Paul said you didn't do it for the money) he made up on the spot.
Definitely--but he was making it up based on things he'd seen in the apartment, like the pile of money--probably the books too.
- When Philip and Elizabeth talk before he meets the agent, they seem to be talking in code. I can understand Elizabeth's side, but why is Philip bothering with it?
Maybe they think the phone could be bugged? It did throw me when he suddenly said something odd, but I can't remember what it was.
- Paige's spy work seemed disconnected from anything. Was that postcard on the board for ages? I was sure she was going to find one of the notes with the numbers list her mother's been writing everywhere.
You mean disconnected from the rest of the story of the ep or the spywork? I think the postcard would have come from Elizabeth during her stay with her great aunt, so Paige was using the address to try to contact the woman herself.
- Why did Nina give Stan enough information to figure that walk-in? I'm guessing it's part of her plan to get back at Stan.
I think we're meant to maybe not know the game on this. Is Nina telling Stan things she hasn't been approved to tell? Maybe. But I don't think she's yet got reason to think her goals and Arkady's are that different. (Though it would be funny to think it's now Nina who wants to bring the bad guys to justice instead of just bleeding them dry of info!)
Some people suggested she was playing both sides, but that seems like a completely silly thing for her to do given her past actions and current situation.
