Maybe it's a REALLY big freezer.

I'm not even sure Norman noticed that Emma was at the dinner party.

I think both Caleb and Dr Ugh are both goners. I'm actually surprised the doctor survived the night.

It also wasn't smart to try and conduct therapy with someone he knows to be violent, in a room with only one exit. When he went downstairs my first thought was whether Norman got that big freezer he wanted yet.

I'm still processing my thoughts on this episode but I thought it was amazing - the best this year: so many great moments and one liners.

I'm truly baffled by the de-wigging and have no idea what to expect. If he was going to kill her or kidnap her, why reveal his disguise? Why reveal the disguise at all, either way. It seems dangerous to reveal more of the truth, no matter which way this is heading.

The Poltergeist face-ripping was 1982, so there was some existing pop-culture reference to prime her reaction.

I'd rate it higher than a B as well: There were a lot of balls in the air this ep, and I think it was all juggled pretty well. Plot moved forward, we got large helpings of crazy and emotional. It felt frenetic and unstable and I think that was intentional - it definitely let me wanting more.

"Maybe it's Maybelline!"

To be fair, I'm sure there are many ladies (and gents) who give that man a long gaze when he's nearby.

The dude tasked with following Norma was probably on the weirdest and most erratic tailing gig of his henchman's career.

I don't think you're necessarily wrong (you're not), but I would really hate Philip versus Elizabeth in any way. I even really hate it when they are mad at one another and/or having their personal cold war. There is obviously dramatic value in tensions between them, but I feel the show is best when they are…

I agree it's hard to imagine her giving up the comforts she is used to,
but like Elizabeth/Phillip, it's not like she actually has to live there
so believing in the ideals are easier when you don't have to live the
sacrifices.

I don't personally see this happening. When the series started, Phillip was already considering defecting, and as of now is pretty disgruntled with his own side. And I just don't see Elizabeth doing that either - they identify as the good guys so I just don't see either of them being able to do that. If they thought…

That's why the Kenya idea seems unlikely, even though it would be a great cover. But the time it would take to actually build houses then go on a mother/daughter sidetrip would be way too long, not only for their US operations but also, her mom is going to die very soon.

An exciting season finale and/or cliffhanger? Seriously though, I'm assuming that they have some other operatives and turning Paige is important enough that some risk is acceptable - though maybe not half the active Jennings ops. If this is they way they go for the final arc, it'll be interesting to see how all the…

I hadn't. no. My speculation is usually wrong though, so I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm interested to see how it plays out.

I'd love it if that happened with the tapes. As for Paige's skepticism, I also get it and think it's genuine, but I think part of that was also trying to hurt Elizabeth with that comment too.

I'd like to build the world a 'bot
And have it bring the mail
With beeps and boops, and logic loops
And spy tech in its tail

But instead (assuming this happens, which is a big if), I'm thinking shit goes down in the US while the family is separated.
