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 it's quite probable that MARTHA doesn't know the answer to that question right now! I think when she makes that call, we're going to see it. (Or at least I hope so. I'd be surprised if she's already done something specific on that front yet though.) I think the implications of the betrayal she's experienced are so massive that it's taking her a while to work through them. I mean, she's smart and she clearly understands that there ARE massive implications... but who would think of all the epic crazy awfulness at once? Not me, for sure.

I think, when it really comes to it, she's going to choose her country and her job (even if she no longer actually has that job!). And I think probably that line has already been crossed. I think now it's about when she figures that out/decides irrevocably.
