Well, no contest: Paige asks, Philip and Elizabeth actually tell her the truth.

Runners up, now, these are galore. The fucked up love scene which was the dentistry. Gruesome luggage body disposal. Philip gets out of sex with Kimmy via praying with her (and actually speaks emotional truths). Elizabeth enforces a slow death while emotionally bonding with her victim and gets told she's evil. "Sometimes", and Philip remembers sex training. Clark demasks in front of Martha into Philip. Paige on the phone with Paster Tim.

But the Philip, Elizabeth, Paige hour of truth telling still wins above them all for me.

Yes, all of these. Maybe also when they get high after the Kimmy prayer scene. It was a nice comic relief moment.

Gotta agree with Selenak on this one. Although probably of the whole thing the most memorable moment was when they actually crossed the line. Philip's nearly imperceptible nod was one thing, but when he (and not Elizabeth!) actually came out with "we were born in another country" was when I actually realized they were going to say it.

And I love how the show and everyone who watches it knows that this is a much bigger moment than, say, the suitcase.

I'm afraid I have to agree with the above in terms of long-term impact on the story. But the tooth-pulling scene was probably more memorable in the sense that I can still see it on the inside of my eyelids. :)

I join in on the telling the truth scene. It was really hard for me to get through and I had to stop and gather courage every few seconds.

For runner-ups: my favorite moment was Philip and Elizabeth psychoanalyzing the CIA agent they were eavesdropping on. I wish they'd have more such moments.

Less favorable but still memorable were Elizabeth and the old woman and Nina switching sides.
