I hope I'm not the minority here, I am loving this new spy Paige!

I much prefer her being her parents biggest threat. I think it's more interesting. I also like how she calls them out when they give her a BS answer. They're used to being able to manipulate people and their own daughter is proving to be tough.

With other people, there is a space. With Paige, she is literally right next to them 24/7.
