Looking at Phil's outfit in the promo photos, looks like this clip is from this episode (though Apple TV posted it last Friday - so did I forget this scene in last week's episode?):

Quinn didn't meet F2F with Richard in previous episode.

He was on the phone with him re Grace, and he was wearing a different outfit.

That's what I thought! So anyway, Apple tagged Phil in that clip for this week's episode last Friday. Definitely seems to give Quinn a bit of a different look than we've seen so far IMO.

I really want to be into this, but it's moving so slowly with none of the suspense or chemistry from the first season. I even tried watching this one first before Severance to see if that helped, but nope.

James is here for revenge, which I'm into, but I'm curious how he's going to do it since he doesn't even know Sophie's real name is Tess or whatever. I did laugh when he mentioned that he was seeing the sights while in London because it was a bit ridiculous that they were at Somerset House, the Queen's House, the Millennium Bridge and then the Tower of London/Tower Bridge all in the same week.

Quinn is sad that Phoebe is dead, even though it seems like that's what he wanted in the first place. (Also Phoebe was a call girl who was also a lifestyle influencer? Or did that happen after she slept with Quinn a couple years ago?)

I really really really don't get what's going with Lydia (?) and Tess - like you were injured in a riding accident a million years ago, but clearly had no ill effects since you're a concert violinist. So what's the deal there?

I'm glad Tess left the file with Callum to deal with, but given everything he knows, I find it hard to believe that he's going to be able to pin Tess's mother's possible murder on the elder Huntley. And that's assuming that Tess's mother was even murdered - we only know she died young and that William Huntley's doctor signed the death certificate.

I'm actually way more interested in what Tess said to James about trying to figure out why she's like this. It's just so bizarre that she "wants to have a conversation" all the while she's hiding the money she stole in crypto and taunting him with it while trying to worm her way back into the Huntley family. Is she actually a sociopath or is she just pretending that too?

Gosh, Tess/Sophie’s blank expression is aggravating. Stop doing that! 😣

This episode briefly shows us how James managed to track down Sophie. Thank god they don’t dwelling on this too much. 

The mind games he plays just to get under her skin is satisfying but also frustrating at the same time. Sophie/Tess is very unlikeable, so am rooting for James. 

It’s hinted that Quinn is not responsible for Phoebe’s “suicide”. Did Henry get their fixer to clean up his mess? 👀

The reveal about what happened between Eliza and Tess when they were teenagers is quite underwhelming.

This show is moving at a snail’s pace. GRRR! 😠
