The "exclusive scene"

A nice long one this time! Some humour/fun/squee fodder, some serious stuff.

The most hilarious bit about this preview scene to me is that while the episode was running, [dreamwidth.org profile] sistermagpie and I were talking about Clark and how Elizabeth had actually "met" him once, at his wedding, but otherwise had only heard about his characteristics and traits filtered through Philip because there was just no way he would "play" him with her. And then this scene! Man. HAHAHA.

More seriously, though: I love the way that Elizabeth's little jealousy pangs work differently than for an ordinary couple. I mean, of course they would, of course we're not going to be seeing her raging about his cheating ways and how much he's hurting her anytime soon. She's too much of a professional. But it was obvious both in the last episode and in this one that she was starting to feel those pangs, and now she's channelling them into this curiosity that's so believable for people who do what they do. It's delightful, but it's also so very them.
