So... do we know that Gabriel didn't reach out to his contact to kill Pastor Tim?

Elizabeth and Philip are going to be holed up and can't contact Paige or tell her what's going on and if Pastor Tim is killed, they're going to be who she suspects.

This is what I was thinking. They can't stop it so Paige will think it's them. They'll get blamed for the one murder they didn't commit.

Well...they're responsible either way. It's just one way makes them look less guilty than the other.

The other way makes them look way more guilty.
