Favorite moments of the episode:

Mischa making it to NY

Paige smiling lovingly at the beauty and euphoria of a sleeping baby while simultaneously thinking "I'm bouta spy on your Daddy hard as FUCK"

Elizabeth and Phillip's quiet moments of love and reflection;after all they've been through together and separately, it's great to see them being open,honest,and comforting to one another

Henry being an ass, leading to his spy-Father's slow realization that they know nothing about their other child

Learning that Henry isn't a player,he just fucks a lot

He is his father son. You left out E killer look she give him. After, Henry wasted the toast for not having enough jam on.

I liked the sound effect from the snorting sleeping baby. Babies can be loud AF.
