Re: Philip as "Clark"

Clark would somehow meet Elizabeth--maybe Philip knows that Clark's being honeytrapped. I mean...the situation almost writes itself. Because Clark isn't a spy, he's a pencil-pusher--the very type that Elizabeth would make mince meat of. And once in bed Clark would be thrilled to get all wild animal with her!

That scenario would actually kind of work because it also gives Philip a psychological out if they're both roleplaying and it's not just him. Like it isn't just him acting like "Clark" while Elizabeth is just Elizabeth, but both of them playing something out, and with "Clark" being the victim of a honeytrap, it rather takes some of the blame off him as well.

So long until Wednesday!
