I was JUST thinking the same thing about Elizabeth after last night's episode. She's a knockout, but she's a knockout for her age, which is late 30s at least. The only way Hans would be so smitten with her is if he has some serious mommy issues. I started feeling the same way about Fiona in Burn Notice -- there has to come a point pretty quickly when neither Elizabeth nor Fiona can stroll into a bar and instantly command the worship of any man they target. Martha has become one of my favorites which is a 180 shift from how I viewed her at first. I think that Phillip/Clark has come to value what an amazing woman she is, her character, her basic goodness. It has to be obvious to Phillip that Elizabeth, in Martha's place, would have shot him between the eyes by now instead of making him spaghetti. After Phllip's defiant speech to Gabriel, it isn't out of the question that Elizabeth would still kill him herself to end the debate about Paige. Compared to Elizabeth, in every category except straight up looks, Martha is a better person, a better friend, a better woman and frankly a better wife. IAnd Martha has become very beautiful in my eyes while Elizabeth looks hard and ugly to me now. My fantasy scenario would be that Phllip comes completely clean with Martha, takes her with him, grabs the kids and goes to his friend Stan to defect and get them all into Witness Relocation. It would be a much happier family and I think Martha would be a better mom for the kids, too.
