Question of the week #59

If our characters could go back to any time in the show's run so far and change one thing, what do you think they'll change?

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 hope this is how the show deals with all that! This sounds delicious.

It's literally the only way I can accept right now. Everything else seems so fake and so not the way the show deals with things on so many levels. Not just the way it deals with secrets but with the fact that despite what some viewers seem to think, the Jennings are a close family. Paige isn't some neglected kid who's now part of someone else's family. All of this happened because she actually wants to be close to her parents and part of growing up is her understanding them on her own terms, beyond just how they relate to her and how they fail her.

Right now she feels like they're strangers, but there's other examples where she obviously is curious about who they are as people. One thing that comes to mind is when Elizabeth first starts telling Paige about Gregory and Paige immediately cuts in with "Did Dad know him?"
