And they can be pretty depressed.

Like Diedre, I wish Philip had been more assertive in that scene. Say NO to the Pasha plan. Also I noticed that Diedre told Gus he wasn't assertive enough but Philip told Elizabeth that she had said he wasn't aggressive enough. There is a difference.

I didn't mean You. Of course not.

And he says "me." Not she broke up with Gus.

OK you are OK in my book!

Treason. they are asking her to commit treason.

It was affectionate teasing, which can feel intimate and close. E liked that.

I think Rich is a spy. Didn't that sound suspicious the way he thanked Mrs Jennings for the food? Do real American teens do that?

I wonder what her backstory is. I mean now that I think of it, she did really overreact to his wondering why she didn't have any dishes. She could have just answered, well, I like to eat take out so I don't need a lot of dishes.

Absolutely. When they mush it all together, it loses something. Like Bill O'Reilly and others of his ilk, they say abuse, harassment, misconduct. I mean, what is it? It's hard to know. And when they use words like "inappropriate" that's the worst euphemism of all. I mean it's "inappropriate" to interrupt someone…

And sometimes I wonder about all those safe houses, esp. fully furnished one's like Tuan's, I mean are they rented, bought, or what? And who is doing all that work? And who are the people who are vetting potential marks, like Strobelight and Deidre, etc? I mean there seems to be a lot of money and personnel hidden…

The new plan against Pasha is just sadistic. And they don't even know whether it would do any good. I don't get how his mom could go back to Soviet Union. I mean the dad could never go, right?

He's surely been pulling away from her too. His little "uh-huhs" and things like that when she says things he no longer can really get behind. Of course I can't think of an example right now but I have been noticing that. And his defense of EST to help him feel his feelings, his bold question to E. about Claudia,…

"Broad"? Really?

Yup. My point entirely!

Why ? What do you mean?

Dump him

Ok. I see your point.
