I was shocked when Philip-as-Scott actually came right out and told Yousaf that he was KGB-affiliated. He must have done a quick calculation and figured he had a better chance of getting what he needed out of Yousaf if he told the truth on that front?
Though I love that he doesn't do it directly. "My people are dying in Afghanistan. I'll give you a moment to process what I'm actually saying."
First, the fact that she doesn't tell him about the memory she had of her mother referring to her father as a deserter.
That particular one I think she wouldn't have told him about anyway. She knew he was a deserter back in the pilot, yet she basically told him he was a hero. I think this is just something that Elizabeth's ashamed about and doesn't tell people. But also I like the idea that even though Elizabeth was remembering that scene which to us was obviously about her father's desertion, in her mind she really was remembering the blue dress, because that's what she was focusing on. Memories do tend to work that way, and Elizabeth, we've been told, is less than self-aware.
