I don't see any reason to think that. There were a lot of signs that he wasn't a great support for her.

I wouldn't call Matthew collateral damage. He's just a kid whose high school girlfriend broke up with him. She didn't owe it to him to go out with him and wasn't that into him regardless of her parents' secret.

LOL! Great catch. Because yeah, Paige was really interesting in that scene. It's another reason it's not so simple as Paige breaking up with Matthew as some sacrifice. She said she wasn't that into him, really. Even when it would be easier for him not to fight, she instinctively knew she wanted a fighter.

Yeah, that's an odd way to describe Aderholt. He's always been one of the best agents. That's why Stan didn't like him at first, because he saw all too clearly what Stan was about.

And Deirdre's blunt answer to "Gus" about how interested in him she is.

Unnecessary info, but the use of that album was pretty anachronistic when shown. I don't think it was really known in the US at the time that ep took place. Certainly Paige herself, who's never been shown to be into cutting edge imports, would not have heard of it, much less know of it because "everyone in school" was…

I don't think it has to be about Henry. Paige asked about where they'd been so Philip automatically looked to see if Henry was close by and Paige assured him he wasn't going to overhear. It would be OOC for Philip to answer a spy question without first checking to make sure he's not going to be overheard.

I think it's still a huge stretch. There were tons of those prisons. No reason at all to think that she was at the same one as Philip's father (despite what it says in the review Gabriel wasn't a prison guard, fwiw). I think the point is just that the camps existed and were part of this general terrible era, and also…

But Elizabeth does experience jealousy—much more intensely, really. She was very jealous of Martha and Irina. Philip's jealousy is just more something he's more aware of and isn't as big of a deal—except concerning Gregory, of course.

Yes, but that persona was created to appeal to this guy. It's not like any guy would respond to that woman by teaching. He likes that stuff.

Huh? Philip and Elizabeth have NEVER pushed her to see Matthew to keep tabs on Stan. They've always been vocally against that idea. They didn't even want them together. Elizabeth has never acted like her handler in that relationship.

I thought the neediness was simply Philip nudging her on things to try to get her to where she'd talk about things at work with him. If there was anything personal in it it was just him wanting the job done and over with.

When Gabriel tells of his former life as a guard at the horrific Soviet work camps, Rhys lets Philip flinch, just once, registering the connection with Philip’s father’s shared occupation.

Neither, really, imo. Philip gets very little in general. Gus pushes Deirdre so he can get her to talk about work, but I think that was more Deirdre herself being paranoid. He just wanted a bowl to eat out of and she jumped to ARE YOU MOVING TO TOPEKA?!

This made me realize that when Philip was questioning Gabriel he almost could have been questioning the father he never knew if he assumed he was one of the bad guards.

They might actually tell her. Especially Philip, if she seems to gung-ho.

I would think Philip should be relieved that his source is the anti-Martha. She thinks he's needy for asking if she has a second bowl. LOL! Btw, note that this character of Philip's has stains on his shirt. So he must get that she's not looking for a guy trying too hard.

And look how he loves teaching women about stuff. If challenged he'd absolutely point out that he never said they were exclusive.

It's nice to see that Elizabeth really is kind of naive about that guy. Of course he's got lots of girlfriends. You think he pulled that s'mores idea out of nowhere?

I think we can definitely say he's talking about the Great Purge. Not even just from his age, but the type of thing he's describing.
