look how long it took her to feel anything for Philip. She believes she can't have any emotions and do the job.

Wow great theory !

She told Philip that she liked Matthew initially because he had a lot of hair and played guitar

I was wondering if he has a girl in every port where they grow wheat. I mean he just happened to have that woman in Memphis ?

Then you don't have to have a boss or a Center lying to you all the time

Please. Give Spoiler Warning!

He was gorgeous too

What do you mean? Whose misogyny?

Yeah I was thinking of that too

It was probably advertent. These writers don't do anything inadvertently!

Or possibly he's got several PhDs and is a highly qualified scientist who makes good money.

He would probably love to go into therapy but knows EST is as far as he can go.

She is a person they are trying to turn into an asset for the FBI. That's all we know. Possibly she works at the Department of Agriculture!

So whose shrink is that ???

Agree. And maybe this episode was a little Madmen-ish. In a good way.
Being about people's feelings and memories of childhood and parents and children. Remember when Don takes the kids to his childhood house ?

I wonder if neither of them realized what he meant to
them. It's a shock. And to us ! To me !
Gabriel don't go "Home"
