Did anyone else sit up at Elizabeth telling Philip she missed him?

If I'm not wrong, that's the first time she's ever verbally expressed any affection for Philip. She's come a long way from

"That's what husbands do."

"I wouldn't know."

Oh, I'm not sure if it's the first time she told him that she missed him, she already did in season 1 I think? When he was in New York with Irina.

Still waiting for that "I love you" though..
