The Church and Pastor Tim seem to serve as additional parental figures for Paige--parental figures that provide a more unambiguously black-and-white, worldview than her real parents can. We also know that Philip and Elizabeth will soon be asked to tell Paige the truth about their jobs and their lives in the U.S.
Do you think Paige might confide in her pastor if her parents try to bring her in? What do you think she would tell him?
You can expect spoilers for the entire first two seasons in the comments.
(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)

I don't think Henry's a bad person for breaking into the neighbor's house (his justifications did show an ethical stance in that he wasn't hurting anyone or stealing anything etc.), but he still recognized the conflict between what he did and being a good person. But then, he and Paige sort of mirror Philip and Elizabeth in the way they approach these things, and I'm not sure either position is clearly more or less that of a good person.
