So, from the preview/exclusive scene they look to be united. Anything else different later on would seem to be manufactured to respond to their extreme situation. Clearly, they and their children are in desperate danger.

There will surely be a cliff hanger from S2. Can't wait to see how it plays out.

Finally saw the exclusive scene on Facebook, and there was also a scene on The Colbert Report.

On Facebook: Clark is at Martha's and the phone rings and it's...for Clark. So he's immediately freaked out. It's Jennifer, telling him that Uncle Drew has wandered off and Mother is frantic. He needs to come home.

So he rushes home. I'd forgotten all this time they thought Larrick was in Nicaragua. Now they realize he came back and went AWOL right before George and Kate went missing. They think they need to get out of there quick.

On Colbert:

This scene was really funny. Philip comes into the kitchen, Paige has presumably just come home from the protest. He says she's "out like a light," that he thinks she "didn't sleep the whole trip" and adds that "if she said one more thing about non-violent protest he was going to punch her in the face." LOL!

Elizabeth says it's good she has passion about something and wants to make a difference.

Philip says, with some contempt, that she thinks a pastor getting arrested for loitering is some kind of hero. Elizabeth says she wishes they could tell her about the real heroes, the ones who sacrifice themselves for this world and not some fairy tale about heaven. Philip says seriously that "somebody sacrificed themselves today."

I loved that when they played the clip on Colbert Philip's "punch her in the face line" got a big laugh.

In the final kitchen scene, Philip says that someone has sacrificed himself today.

Was it Jared who gave up his country? Was it Nina or Stan? Or, was it someone else who we haven't seen as yet?

So next week Elizabeth says "This what I really look like." Who would she be saying that to. Jared?

I should not be watching this as I haven't seen eps 11 and 12 yet, but have to say, Philip's Lenin disguise is hilarious.
