Father Andre knows...?

Upvotes

In my rewatch I realized something I never remember in conversations about what's going to happen with the kids when they talk to the FBI.

It always comes up that two people who know Paige knew her parents were spies: Stan and Pastor Tim. Stan we trust won't tell since he's protecting himself as well. Pastor Tim's shown he won't say anything as long as his family is protected. So not an immediate threat. (ETA: I should say "The Tims" here since Alice also knows and will happily speak out to protect her family!)

But Father Andre--the guy who accidentally outed and then gave up detailed information to the FBI on her parents--also knows that. And he may actually know more. When Elizabeth tells him she's teaching Paige about their culture and history and thinks she "gets it" (Andre has doubts), they have this exchange:

-[Philip's] not sure I know how to handle her.

-That's something parents fight about.

-It's more than that. He has his life and I have mine now. And she's with me.

The lines aren't explicit, but saying her daughter is "with her" in "her life" sure sounds like Father Andre knows that she's part of her spy work now.

On my ??th rewatch, only just noticed how much it sounds like he yells “Gaad damn it to hell” in his big showdown with the MR (queen of our hearts), and it made me chuckle.

What a show. Poor Martha 😭

Just finished my first rewatch

Completed my first rewatch after 6 years. It is very much still the best show and finale I’ve ever seen.

I feel as miserable now than I did back then because it’s over. Will probably rewatch again in 6 years or so.

One question: I remember a scene where Elisabeth is attacked in her own house upstairs when Philip isn’t home. Did I dreamt that or just missed it in the rewatch? What episode is it?
