Yeah, but I'd rather get him talking about things that I don't know and that he's pretty much already said.

Sorry, it still just seems hopelessly convoluted to me. Lying and breaking up with the guy so you can have the baby in secret and then abandon it later because he can't be a Directorate S Illegal with a baby but you, his mother, can? That's silly too. I'm not saying it's weird to have relatives helping her I'm saying…

I think her birthday was in November so she is 16. When Matthew asked her when she was going to get her license she mentioned needing to master parallel parking so I think she is 16 and just hasn't taken her test yet.

He said they couldn't find it in the office but they took lots of info off the computer and were going to check through that. So presumably it was in there.

Yeah, that scene really seemed important to me too. It's I think the only time we've seen Henry not only look up from the game and focus that much but actually come upstairs without being told to and try to find out more information. Iirc, the scene even ends from Henry's pov like he's still looking back at Philip, as…

We only know she was arrested. So…maybe?

I agree. They haven't used him yet directly, and maybe hadn't yet decided how to use him yet, but they certainly built enough in there for him to be a recognizable characters. He's not even that different than Paige if you figure that both of them are supposed to be representing growing up. Paige started being focused…

The resolution led to them maybe having to leave the country. It didn't have to be something they did, since the whole point of the show is often that they're cogs in a bigger machine. The resolution was that Elizabeth and Philip both did things they didn't want to do that left them feeling like worse people and it…

Right, they wanted a scene where Elizabeth actually killed somebody so wrote a scene where that made sense. I don't know why she'd be questioning herself on this one or think Paige being there made her lose it somehow. She's already even answered that yes, she had to do that when Paige asked her. I think she already…

Which is exactly what the show wasn't going for, action sequence sense.

Her conditioning and training would be exactly what made her go for lethal force here imo. He took out a weapon and wound up stuck with it when he was trying to use it on her.

I really like this interpretation—gotta watch it again with that in mind, because I was so sick of this EST stuff and wondered why Philip hadn't already come to this conclusion.

LOL! If there's one person who doesn't have a hangdog expression permanently affixed to his face off camera it's probably Matthew Rhys.

Nothing happened to her. Paige was just more interested in Pastor Tim than being friends with her.

He didn't bring a box cutter. The Lhassa was deadliest thing on him. Then he told them to take him to the biohazard place so he didn't infect anybody else.

We don't know at all whether she raised him —I'm not so sure they'll fill it in. Nobody on the show seems to have any questions about it!

The William plot precisely fits the definition of a season long arc, though. He's introduced as part of this whole bioweapons thing, which touches a lot of characters and is finally shut down by Oleg, which causes a shake up at the Rezidentura and maybe the Jennings returning to Russia. There was a threat the whole…

Actually, Philip seemed kind of left out of all that since he doesn't know anything about Mischa and Henry, being an outsider to the spy thing, had no interaction wit him at all. He's the character who most prioritizes family but tends to be the one most often kept away from family.

Unsure what to do with her face when the stricken look wasn't appropriate?

Matthew Rhys and that actor both have dark hair.
