Loved the nod to the pilot with the brownies and I think using the same knife and pan as well, except with Philip holding the knife this time! Hilarious!
And Elizabeth bringing him one the next day at the travel agency was one of those small touches that shows what a different place they're in. Even with the disagreement about what to do about Paige, they're in a much stronger place in their marriage.
With Martha, I get a lot more out of the scenes like the one with Stan than the Kama Sutra one, which to me felt too much like the sex scenes she had in S1. I think it fit here because of the EST thing and how Philip could not be more completely disconnected from her than he is when he has to have sex with her, but I truly hope they stick more to S2 and making Martha a character who should be sympathized with, not just the butt of the joke, which is what scenes like that one, and S1, made me feel about her every single time a new crazy position came up.
I also liked Gabriel, but I feel like I want to see him expanded on more. Something about the way he easily melded into P/E's comfortable relationship where they are cozy with each other made it hard to adjust to the idea that he hasn't seen them since pre-pilot when Elizabeth was so cold towards Philip. Not that I didn't love the dynamic. Just came across as a little jossed.
Man, I wish they would use Henry more!
Loved the story arc with Elizabeth's mother and am curious to see if we'll get more of that.
Annelise going into that little deal about how Scott/the other guy both deserved someone better than her was an interesting note. And then her confessing as if she really didn't understand how dangerous he could be, how dangerous all of them were, equally sad.
Brownies!
