The Jennings' continue to investigate leads into the murder of Emmet and Leanne.
I enjoyed this one for the character development, visuals and performances.
Following the previous two episodes the pace of plot development slows down slightly and it has some strong focus on characters. There are some very interesting scenes with Phillip and Elizabeth that at times are painful to watch, but are done exceptionally well. It shows how difficult it is for people to have a relationship when they exist in a world that demands multiple identities. Although this is framed through the narrative of the spy world, but it makes you think how much similar problematic compartmentalisation goes in the world with most people in relationships.
There are also some interesting developments with characters such as Stan, Lucia and Claudia. As always its all intricately connected and the editing of the scenes puts everything in the right place.
The cinematography is strong throughout, with beautifully framed shots used to strong effect with interior locations like the houses of the Jennings', Beemans and Frank Gadd.
All performances are as excellent as ever, but in this episode Matthew Rhys and Kerri Russell are so good you would think that what happens between them is real. Margo Martindale is also strong in her scene.
For me it's an 8.5/10, but I round up as always.
