    And it's not like she hasn't had empathy for people in the crossfire before, like the guy in the warehouse who said he had a wife and kids, or the elderly lady with the heart condition who she had to kill.
    Even then she never let regret wash over her face while she was doing an operation/mission.

    It got to her in a way that has been a regular occurrence for Phillip.

      Yeah, She does have a more reasoned approach to her job then Phillip, and is more in control of her emotions then him.

      So what is Elizabeth's plan? Blackmail the husband? At some point Young Hee will have to find out, right? The dramatic payoff is too big for her not to find out.

        She pushed her feelings down since her training was much more emotionally damaging than his. The emotions are finally surfacing and she has to face them sooner or later.

        Not sure what the plan is. She was looking for something to use to get something, but I thought they were looking for access to level 4. Is she going to blackmail him to get that? Why not just use the porn tapes she found? Unless I missed something, they haven't really explained why she has been getting close to them.

          Not enough. Everyone was watching porn in the early-mid 80's after VHS's hit the US. It could be Young Hee's.

            i liked that last episode, it showed that Elizabeth is still somewhat human and i think now she is starting to realize how Phillip feels in regards to the Martha situation

                  They did John Boy dirty. Couldn't just let him ride off into the sunset with his tail tucked between his legs - had to take him out behind the shed and put him down.

                  A Kimmie siting, too.

                  Alice is a loose canon, though. I don't like Pastor Tim, but I think he's more reasonable within this situation. Alice has the potential to **** things up real good.

                    They gotta GO.

                    I'm sure the writers have tried to get a path to Paige doing it, but that doesn't look feasible.

                      The Kimmie sighting was kind of out of left field. I don't think we've seen her all season, right?

                      Realistically, Pastor Tim and Alice probably need to be taken out. It's too much of a liability for Elizabeth and Phillip to have someone who can turn them over to the FBI at any time. Of course, I'm not sure how Paige would take that, but at some point it probably needs to be done, unless Pastor Tim and Alice can somehow be turned.

                        Maybe they will be using the getting lost excuse as they were doing something else and bring it to a head. Paige will be faced with running or killing them. We have already seen she doesn't want to run.

                          When Gabriel told them they'd essentially take a break from new missions, he did tell them to continue to the Kimmie mission, so her return was inevitable somewhere.

                          The whole pretend Tim and Alice being taken out as an accident might have worked before, but Paige got suspicious real quick they had something to do with this disappearance that turned out to be random. There's no pretending anymore short of some "complication" with child birth for Alice.

                              Have to give FX props for sticking with this show, despite the ratings.
