Question of the week #41

[treonb]

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.)

Henry I think would make more of a choice to confide in as he gets older. He'll probably be 12 next season and that's getting closer to an age where they could actually lean on each other a little at times. Before he was really at a doofus younger brother age. Also, not to knock Paige, but I think all the times I can recall where she's tried to start these big conversations with Henry, he's been in pajamas or asleep, like when she wakes him up with her hairbrained idea mom and dad didn't come home and actually they're in the bedroom getting busy. Plus, when Henry has been the more sensible and mature of the two of them despite the age difference (I'm thinkig the hitchhiking incident) Paige has basically brushed him off. So it's not really hard to see how over time, Paige may have trained Henry to think she overreacts to everything and there's no point in taking her seriously.
