Georgley's initial thoughts
Firstly, I'm just so glad the show is back. I don't think I even realised how much I missed it until it started again!
A few things I loved:
-Gabriel!! I love how different he is compared to Kate and Claudia. He's like a father figure to Philip and Elizabeth and I particularly liked that he cooked dinner for them.
- Elizabeth saving the brownie for Philip. Little moments between these two just have so much meaning when we've seen how their relationship has developed over the last two seasons.
- Phil and Stan at EST was hilarious to me. It seemed so awkward.
- Elizabeth getting another tape from her mother. It was also interesting that there were no subtitles during that scene.
I do wonder how much Stan's suspicions have been raised after seeing Elizabeth injured. Her face didn't seem bruised at that point though (or at least it looked that way on my computer screen).
I'm just so glad the show is back!

P.S. So good to see you here! Between you and some of the other names that are popping up again, I'm feeling like we've gotten the band back together again or something. :D
