One of the more quiet episodes, it wasn’t until the end that things really picked up. I’d call it a simmer episode with next week being the follow through.

Some things picked up:

Phillip is sort of teaching Paige how to be a spy, to gently convince someone to your favor without them knowing it. Paster Tom told his wife the secret and Phillip tells his daughter that they need to keep him close and as a friend. Tell him you’re upset but don’t bring anger into it (a line repeated by Elizabeth when Phil tells her). Paige has some luck with Tom, it looked like he was upset that he betrayed Paige’s confidence.

Philip simply wants to bounce, the heat is getting to be too much. How he’d tell their son why they are suddenly moving to Moscow would be a conversation for later I guess. Elizabeth doesn’t want to run and neither does The Center, so HQ comes up with an assassination attempt while Elizabeth and Phillip take the kids to Epcot (which recently opened). Stick with the kids the whole time and Paige might be suspicious when she finds out Tom and his wife had a fatal accident, but she’ll have enough doubt not to tip her. Phillip thinks that’s nonsense.

Stan hasn’t had a win in a while and could use one. He’s now firmly on the scent of Martha, despite the suicide set up from the premiere. Phillip has been able to keep Martha in the game for a long time and it looks like Stan has noticed the thread that will ultimately lead to his neighbor. Phillip is so busy with the virus and Paige that he has no clue about Stan (and neither does Martha).

Elizabeth is making some serious headway on becoming friends with a potential new informant (I don’t remember what kind of contacts Young Hee has, it must be her husband).

Phillip talks to Stan’s ex-wife about Stan being mad at him. He’s gotta get that monkey off his back and it seems like the best choice he could make. That window being closed might be impossible to shut very soon, though.

So with the trip to Orlando booked (congrats on getting Henry to think it’s his idea, making it an easier sale to Paige) they just need to check in with Gabriel. Holy disaster. Everything just got thrown out of the window.
