Question of the week #57

[treonb]

What does Martha really think about Philip?  How far would she be willing to go to protect herself, from both Philip and the FBI?

You can expect spoilers for the entire first three 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.)

I think in Martha's case it's more that she justified it rather than didn't notice it. I mean, the secrecy and lying has always not only been part of the relationship it's been part of the appeal. Even in his original cover story Philip was somebody she was breaking the rules of security by seeing. And Martha's broken some rules without even being asked--like by bringing home the files. But yet when the bug was found she suddenly acted like she'd been caught doing something really scary bad.
