“Paul?”

“No.”

Sami is about to have her world shattered.

After spending weeks juggling secrets, Martian merges his two lives to escape getting caught. He doesn’t come clean about his personal entanglement with Sami though. Henry caught him using “Paul Lewis” alias once, why can’t he put two and two together? Dr. Blake is right, Naomi’s feelings for Martian have clouded her judgment.

I don’t think I’ll be interested in “Sami becoming an asset” storyline. Her arc with Martian feels draggy already.

So, Danny’s best move to be selected for the Tehran trip is getting her f*ck buddy to intimidate/threaten Jerome? That’s so lame. 🙄

My sympathy goes to Alexei Orekhov. He’s backed into a corner without much choices.

Martian ain't fooling the psychiatrist lady. Neither is Naomi. She has probably always known Martian hasn't been telling the truth.

I like how things are threads are coming together. Martian is certainly going to have to read Sami in on what he's been doing, but I doubt he'll come completely clean, in the interest of saving his own ass.  

I don't get Danny's interest in FuckBoy. Dude tortures her (albeit under false pretences), he says "sorry, just doing my job", the next minute she's fucking him....I don't get it.

The appeal of torture as an aphrodisiac eludes me, also.

I realize that Poppy is there because Martian clearly needs more things to go wrong in his life, or lives as the case may be, but do they both have to be so stupid about this?  She was so freaked out about Osman asking her about Paul Lewis that she called him nearly in tears, and he told her to go to her mother's.  I figured she'd stay there for a while, until things calm down, but no, she was back at his place later.  Next day, he tells her to stay in the apartment, and now that she knows how serious and dangerous this all is, she'll listen, right?  Again, no.  So she almost gets nabbed by "The Chinese" and AGAIN is back at Martian's place that night (to make the joke about "The Chinese").  It doesn't occur to anyone here that maybe she should just stay at Mom's?

Teenagers get bored and you can't expect them to just stay put?  No one will follow her or Martian back to his place so Poppy is perfectly safe there, right?  Oh, that's right, Love Is Blindness.  Or rather, Love Makes You Stupid.
