- TriviaDirectorial debut for Noah Emmerich.
- GoofsPhilip comes home announcing he brought a pizza and that he asked them to add extra pineapple, anchovies and pickles. But the pizza he's eating with Sam in the next shot has nothing but tomato and cheese on it.
Philip is joking about the toppings. Many people don't like anchovies, and pizza places usually don't have pickles as an option. He tried to think of a flavor combination that Paige would find disgusting.

Great episode
The Jennings plot to foil a student incident whilst Martha is put in a compromising position.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode for the character moments, suspense and breathless final sequence.
The story focuses on Phillip's emotional state with what's happening with Paige, but some unexpected events involving Martha impact him as the subplots collide. Alongside this is their latest mission which is incorporated well into the overall narrative.
There are a lot of particularly well made and memorable scenes in this episode. I actually felt as angry as Phillip in one early exchange with Elizabeth and how this scene is filmed works brilliantly. Many other scenes also work well for different reasons but I won't mention specifics so as not to spoil .
I loved the cinematography, sound effects, editing and use of music in the this episode. It is an example of great visual storytelling and all round entertaining filmmaking.
All performances, as always, are excellent, particularly Matthew Rhys, Kerri Russell, Alison Wright and Noah Emmerich who had the added responsibility of directing the episode.
Not quite perfect, but not far off. 9.5/10 for me.
