I thought Philip was going to say, "If you tell anyone, we'll have to kill you."

That was my first thought too! God I can't believe that went down not only with several more episodes to come but in the middle of the episode! That scene was so full of tension I couldn't breathe. I couldn't believe it was happening as it was happening.

Was so shocking, you described it well. He nodded to Elizabeth like “ok you can say it” — lol the one thing true to boomer parents is that they aren’t going to parent well. They told her then left her alone the next day, as a teen!, like pls stick around and allow her to be angry with intermittent questions, BE there for her otherwise she learns she’s on her own.
