The more I think about this, the more I think this was one of the best - and most consequential - episodes of the series to date.
One of the running concepts in the show is that when Philip is really "shaky" relative to the mission, Elizabeth hits him with some magic pussy and that gets his mind right (at least relative to the particular "issue" at hand, and for the immediate future). Last night, she didn't even try, despite knowing he was in crisis...and considering the kids were not in the house at the time (perfect opportunity for some afternoon sexytime). Also, at the safe house, she offered an accommodation to him (as a husband/lover/friend, not a fellow agent) to address his crisis of conscience - while also acknowledging the "hard time" he has had for a long time (without judgment or admonishment).
Elizabeth has always been the true believer and the cynic. Yet, you can tell she was truly disturbed by the fact that the Centre was so wrong AND that the evil capitalists were actually trying to "save the world" (including her country).
Couple that with the isolation from their children that was laid bare with Henry and Paige's storylines tonight, and I have a feeling that saving the home-life of the Jennings is about to become a superior mission to saving the Motherland.

It's 1984, I wonder if Phillip and Elizabeth will hunt for the Red October. :rimshot:

Just watched last night
Agreed on all of that. Philip always had cracks. They are getting bigger. Now Elizabeth is finally starting to show some.
Also don't forget the scene of her phone call home to Philip just to say "I miss you" after she slept with the target (forget his name). Philip was even taken aback by it as this was so far out of character for her to do something like that.
This series has been such a slow burn throughout and it all seems to be finally coming to a head soon. Going to be interesting how they wrap this up in the end
