But they obviously wanted to talk to this former FBI guy so it doesn't seem like it would be hard to find him. He's probably using his own passport and his family and friends know where they're going.

Philip kind of tried to go the logical route when he pointed out this was a "disaster" for them but Paige just got offended that they'd even suggest they were badly affected by this when Alice was suffering.

A guy with a big ego who'd rather have stories to tell about how he went on a dangerous mission to help the poor people of Ethiopia than be at home throughout the pregnancy.

Anybody else wonder why Philip had to think about whether his mother was a good cook before coming up with her making a soup he liked? Was it a reference to them simply not having enough food to think about good cooking? Was she a bad cook? I'm assuming his dad being "tired" at home was a euphemism for something worse.

Pretty sure he was at fault, actually. But still, it seems a leap to go from him being forced out to just walking into his hotel and suggesting he betray his country.

Didn't seem like it had sunk in yet to me. She called the idea of going to Russia "ridiculous" and I'm not sure that denial's gone yet. Plus she's now talking about telling Henry, like the most important thing in life continues to be her family being honest with each other.

Was it a secret that he went to Thailand?

He was Larry on Three's Company. I kept hoping they'd have dinner at the Regal Beagle.

But why would he tell them anything? It's got to be something more odd than that, doesn't it?

Why would the Centre trade Martha? They got her out because she's dangerous in the hands of the FBI.

I suspect "useless" is a blessing for them given the non-useless kid is more dangerous.

I'm seriously waiting for her to collapse from forehead cramp. If you look at the preview for this ep every single close up of Paige has them pointed up.

I wish. Presumably he's just after Paige.

Yeah, I wondered why they didn't. But then, they usually have to talk to Paige the way they tell her to talk to Pastor Tim so she doesn't get angry. That's why they spent the whole ep pretending to just feel so bad about Mrs. Tim instead of bringing up Pastor Tim probably doing something to get himself into trouble…

Which one?

But with Elizabeth I can almost believe she thinks it's somehow different when she does it!

Why assume she'd be less likely to suspect if he died in Ethiopia? She'd know her parents didn't do it personally, but if she's inclined to think for any reason that that the people they work for did it, Ethiopia is as good a place as any. In fact, better, since it's Communist.

I think he's been trained too well and for too long to think of himself as Philip for Mischa to ever make sense for him to say unless it's in a situation where that's obviously what's being asked. He doesn't need to be reminded that he's actually Russian, since most of his life revolves around that fact. But Philip is…

I don't think it's the only way to interpret it, but I think Psycho is a superior work.

Completely nasty and abusive like 24/7? Not at all. I think it would actually make more sense if she wasn't always those things.
