Could be both, I think. Philip going into one last operation/mission and perhaps realizing he might be reaching the end of something.

It’s looking like it might lean that way now. If I had to guess how that’d play out... Stan looks to take down his neighbors/”friends”, then Renee takes him down before he can do that. Maybe Elizabeth or Philip turn on Renee and Claudia partly because of that and everything else. One or both of them get injured or die…

That’s not a bad theory either. I did also wonder if the suit might have been meant for a business purpose of some sort... but I wouldn’t doubt that it could be tied to Henry’s future in particular somehow.

Right. Seems like his pensive looks and actions are hinting at a bit of an end coming, in one form or another. And yeah, even though the suit scene seems a bit out of place, it’s hard to imagine that it was put there for no reason at all. Philip’s wanting to look decent for something, that’s for sure.

Not terrible. The autotune(?) and easy listening verses are okay and the chorus reminds me a bit of OneRepublic’s Wherever I Go. Overall, the song does what it’s supposed to do, I guess.

(Or the show could epically self snuff it’s own ending and they all run away to become lumberjacks ala Dexter! Apologies for that!)

If Philip’s getting fitted with a potential funeral suit a la Gran Turino, I could see him taking it myself. Or Elizabeth maybe after she finds him dead (or, even more tragically, Paige).

Yeah, a young kid like him didn’t have a chance, haha.

Henry might be saved now for the final scene or two where he comes back home and inspects/finds the damage everyone else leaves behind, both figuratively and literally.

Amazing how our priorities change over time, huh?

Yeah, the wig was a little more obvious, but I wondered if that was intentional somewhat? Philip didn’t exactly have the best disguise going out in the video store either... maybe they’re both getting sloppy as the game gets longer?

That was a great stare too. Keri Russell has been on top of her game this year, that’s for sure.

Agreed. The “kid” certainly had his acting chops down in that scene and elsewhere, for that matter. I just kept watching and thinking, “Oh god, he knows and now he’s going to be splattered in the alley or the inside of the car!”

*Elizabeth smiles and lifts 1980s station wagon filled with morbid face paintings over her head*

I picture that like the end of Legends of the Fall on my end! Cliff and Mail Robot in a battle to the death and then the scene pauses...

Same. When she began the schpiel about Gorbachev being terrible, I thought, “Well, it was a good run Martindale!” Looks like we’ll have her towards the very end though.

When Jackson pulled out the recorder, I just thought “Oh, god! It’s over for him.” Needless to say, I was a bit surprised.

Part of me wondered if the paint brush was meant to make it be a bit more lenient on the husband, just so no one would suspect it was a mercy killing and want that autopsy (which would show the morphine situation and all that).

Good to know I wasn’t the only one getting shades of Gran Turino in the suit-fitting scene there!
